Building a 10m aluminium catamaran for home fitout.

We built this 10m catamaran on our Croft in Shetland for Willie and Jane in Isle Ewe. It was a great job even through the pandemic. Hope you like it. Subscribe if you like. Cheers 🍻

This is the type of thing people need to hear you speak about, how long it took..the cost of materials.dont let good work like this waste away..people could learn a lot form you with some examples and commentary. great job.

[@POLESONMARINE]

Thanks, I probably should try do more with it. I’m working every day making new boats and repairing old ones. It’s just hard to remember about setting up cameras when the customer is waiting so most of the time I just take a picture. I mostly make the video diaries to remind myself what I did haha. My memory is useless. Cheers Douglas 👍

[@POLESONMARINE]

By the way… my Shetland accent would probably need subtitles anyway 😅

[@douglasfurlong1]

that would be very helpful for people keep up the fantastic work.

Indeed, cost is the crucial part of any DIY project, and people love to know about it the most

The most understated video I've seen on the internet. The "steel project" outside made me pause the video. Wild.

[@POLESONMARINE]

Thank you very much. If you look at the little video of “MV Vesper” that’s the steel boat outside now. I was going to make video of her build to.

It's 2023, a crane can identify how ever it wants 🤣

[@kefa1975]

Wow! Looks fantastic!!!!

[@POLESONMARINE]

Thank you Kefa!

[@RCake]

I have pre-programmed your telephone number into my mobile phone's speed-dial so that I can save a few seconds when my lottery numbers come up.

Hello! Very nice and interesting video! just two curiosity: how do you realized the collar plate? With with machine you bend the ready made longitudinal beam?

[@freelectron2029]

thanks for not putting crappy music or a dull narrative that explains nothing of importance. great job all round. how long did it take to build? how many of you working on it? whats the weight? cost of materials?

[@POLESONMARINE]

Hi, thank you very much. It was a lot of work and quite hard to keep going through the lockdown but done now. It took 8 months and there was 3 before lockdown and 2 of us finished it in the last three months. It was only 7 tons and at the time the materials cost was approximately £45k. Cheers

​@@POLESONMARINE45k with or without engine? I mean 45k for whole build or only aluminium sheets and tubes?

[@sweeyong7756]

i'll take one.

[@mwreyf1]

That boat screams for another 5-10ft of length.

[@taylorhickman84]

on the bow

[@POLESONMARINE]

It could be longer but we have to work within rules and requirements of bureaucracy and customers needs. Cheers

[@805gregg]

Why would you put the cabin in the very front, the area with the most motion

[@POLESONMARINE]

Purely a workboat for divers operating in inshore areas doing seabed camera trap and sampling work. 👍

[@sysublime5091]

My uncle was one of the founders of INCAT. Look them up.

[@POLESONMARINE]

Thanks I will look for that. Cheers.

[@sysublime5091]

@POLESON MARINE BOATS Incat make some of the biggest Aluminum wave peirceing catamarans in the world. Average is between 25- 100- 112 meters. They have built 130m catamarans.

[@The442nd]

Are you taking orders?

[@0924kumki]

Wow great work where did you get the plan and where I buy it thank you.

[@POLESONMARINE]

Hi. Draw every boat I build by myself. It’s my own design. It was really drawn to fit within British fishing license sizes

[@jerrycrowe6993]

Will you show us the interior of the cabin on some of your boats

[@POLESONMARINE]

Hi Jerry, most of the boats are quite basic inside or finished by the owners so I don’t get a chance to see it sometimes as they go to the mainland UK. I will do my best to get a few interior images or video on the next videos. Cheers, Tommy

[@drankenkorps]

Wait.. You weld hulls for customers only.. And they finish it?

[@steeldriver1776]

@@drankenkorps Boats are like houses. You have a general contractor who will either fulfill all or some of the functions, then hire or contract out the rest if not passed along: framing, finishing, interior design, specific craftsmanship, etc.

[@drankenkorps]

@@steeldriver1776 OH that part I know..But I was referring to your work..I do need your contact.

[@POLESONMARINE]

@@drankenkorps i can do just welding or full build. All custom

[@bartonthom4166]

[@bartonthom4166]
