I am amazed that a channel of such quality, and a boatbuild that is so well thought out and executed has the subscription base as low as it has. In my view, and I follow many channels, this is one of the more useful ones. You go into such thoughtful detail about the little things, without getting nerdy. It is such a useful resource for anyone considering a steel boat build/rebuild.

[@GarryI449]

I agree… very enjoyable…

[@Chris-NZ]

Ditto 😀

[@kennethpole2439]

I tend to agree with the observation but it's likely due to too much narration versus actual work

[@Chris-NZ]

@@kennethpole2439 or the lack of a scantly clad female in the thumbnail, spear it animal and others looking at you ! On the other hand Wildings sailing has almost doubled its subs since his Mrs split !! My favourites are Tally Ho, Ran, Brupeg, KnotFinishedyet , Hardtack, six points woodwork, Parlay, uma, Wildings,Yaba and Duracell. Of course Arabella till launch 😀

[@larrimos]

@@Chris-NZ I agree. There are a couple of channels on your list that I’m unaware of…..but I’ll rectify that soon enough. I really like Duracell project, Tally Ho, and Ran. Brupeg is a bit too industrial for me but I watch occasionally anyway.

[@peternash6206]

I have enjoyed watching you meticulously fabricate a fit your amazing panels - I am also pleased you are nearing the end of them as each time you make another one I am brutally reminded that mine could "Do Better!". Great progress Bruce. Remember to brace, brace and brace again as a Bruce sized sailor will bounce around quite hard when it gets a bit popply. Thanks for sharing Mate.

[@BuildingSYMistress]

Good on you and thanks very much for your good comments Peter, appreciated and yes indeed, hand grabs in various forms will definitely be part of the final fix fit-out! All the best with your build work! 🙂👍🏻

[@kennethpole2439]

Back at you with Sailing Uma, Digital Mermaid and Magic Carpet! Cheers.

[@BuildingSYMistress]

Thanks Kenneth, appreciated 🙂👍🏻

[@waughthogwaugh3078]

Simple solutions are the most elegant. A few small access pockets into the berth end of the shelves could be handy for specs or a head torch too. Thanks for sharing. Going to use this as a basis for my own project thanks again Bruce.

[@BuildingSYMistress]

Thanks for your good comments and suggestions Waugh, appreciated and all the best with your build work 🙂👍🏻

[@rolandtb3]

Working with a living concept. Then things fall into space. Moving forward.

[@hamiltonal4338]

Well done very nice job love the boat ⛵

[@BuildingSYMistress]

Thanks very much Hamilton, appreciated 🙂👍🏻

[@fransdriesen1311]

Using available space is one but optimizing the usage is what counts…Well engineered and apparently the thinking process triggered some wild exotic imagination which is part of boat life… I enjoyed this installment…

[@BuildingSYMistress]

Thanks very much for these good and encouraging comments Frans, appreciated and Yes indeed, 'optimising space' design work is very much a >full-time job! And I was/am VERY pleased that I 'allowed' my mind to run free for this space! I am also pleased that you particularly enjoyed this episode sir! 😁⛵👍🏻

[@joshuamccarthy3493]

Good work and progress

[@BuildingSYMistress]

Thanks, appreciated 🙂👍🏻

[@president2]

Love it keep it up as always 💘

[@BuildingSYMistress]

Good on you Chuck, appreciated mate 🙂👍🏻

[@Sircraig7963]

G'day Bruce... Congratulations on the milestone, must feel good to get that far along with the project. When do you plan to start sea trials ??? Great vid . Respect....!

[@BuildingSYMistress]

G'day Craig and thanks very much for your good comments mate, appreciated and re. sea trials, hopefully not too far ahead,... 🙂👍🏻

[@bekirbayburt6157]

A pleasure to watch your work Bruce. What are your plans for the exposed insulation?

[@BuildingSYMistress]

Thanks for your good comments Bekir, appreciated, all of the insulation will be covered with W.R. cedar VJ panelling 🙂👍🏻

[@richardayres2949]

You could put the hanging rail on the top as planned and then say two shelves below but make then so they fold down or up so if you or your crew have a number of hanging items you can leave the shelves down and use the space for hanging.

[@BuildingSYMistress]

Thanks for your good suggestion Richard , appreciated 🙂👍🏻

[@persjoberg4027]

Really good job. Why not making the cabinets a bit deeper?

[@BuildingSYMistress]

Thanks Pers, appreciated and re. your question, there are several good reasons for this design: for eg. the upper aft space is deeper than my arm already, consideration had to be made in order to be able to remove the cabin sole panels, aesthetically I don't want cabin spaces to be all closed in and as always in boats, compromises MUST be made 🙂👍🏻

[@willmacaluso5293]

Hey, Bruce! Great job, as Usual! Are you going to build upper cabinets as well? Just curious 😎.

[@BuildingSYMistress]

Thanks for your good comments Will, appreciated and re. overhead cabinets, probably not in the V berth, I'll see over time, but yes, there will be several elsewhere 🙂👍🏻

[@user-rs2ue3rs7y]

looking good pal. whats the first destination after some local test sails.

[@BuildingSYMistress]

Thanks t, appreciated and after sea trials it will be heading North up along the Queensland coastline 🙂⛵👍🏻

[@ImnotChuck.]

Surely you have said what the plan is for whatever will cover the exposed overhead foam, but I don't remember. Please tell me (us) again.

[@BuildingSYMistress]

Thanks notChuck and no problem, all of the insulation will be covered with W.R. cedar VJ panelling 🙂👍🏻

[@joshuamccarthy3493]

Hey mate can I ask a question how do u know there not a little pin hole leak in the hull before u put it in the water did u fill the boat up with water after doing the hull kinda like The reverse of testing

[@BuildingSYMistress]

Thanks for your good question Joshua, there are 3 measures taken that make me 100% sure that there are not even any pin holes to Mistress' hull, never mind worse: 1)I was/am a meticulous welder when it came to particularly the hull welds; 2)all of the hull plate chines (seams) are fully welded on the outside and the inside and 3)there are X3 coats of high build epoxy paint system covering all of the steel 🙂👍🏻

Hej Bruce Du er kommet godt fra det 😊så kan du komme til at lave toppen 😂😂 Hilsen fra Danmark og Michael 😊😊😊😊

[@gking5522]

As one who has lived on a small boat for years, some thoughts. I love your 'dirty' clothes bin idea, except that your idea of size is way off. I needs to be as big as you can make it. Hint: throw a T shirt and a pair of shorts into a shoe box; Then try to add anything more! Your hanging locker idea is also too small. Hint: hang two cotton button-up shirts in a tall carboard box for a week, outside, under cover, then check for mildew smell. You must have air flow around clothes that hang up.

[@BuildingSYMistress]

Thanks for your comments Gary, appreciated and fyi if we say that a shoe box is ~2 litres of space, the lower space in these cabinets are ~100 litres and re. the hanging spaces 1)as explained in this video and through cruising experience, I will have very few items needing hanging up, 2)these will be vented, 3)most boats of Mistress' size and particularly production built ones, have smaller and unvented cabinets and 4)actually ideally all clothes would have air flow around them, which of course is impossible, especially on a boat 🙂👍🏻

[@gking5522]

@@BuildingSYMistress Thanks for the reply... But, It's just "G"! Don't know a Gary.

[@briancook4065]

ike the female apparell just need the female to fit the clothes now keep going Bruce

[@BuildingSYMistress]

I think that the right girl will show up at some stage Brian,... and of course regardless I keep to my goals and plans! 🙂👍🏻
