[@spacewalktraveller1]

I can't wait to see the finished boat, it is going to look brilliant.

[@russelstephens5275]

Yes we are very happy. Hopefully we will be cruising her very shortly.

[@ynotbegreat]

Nice one Russ. Thank you once again for sharing.

[@CruisingSunrise]

Glad you liked it. We learnt a lot talking to James, he sure is a wealth of knowledge.

[@OnTheFlipSide]

Russ and Margy, this is totally AMAZING. I have no words, the space on her is phenomenal. I can't wait for her to be finished and follow your adventure. Thank you for taking us along.

[@CruisingSunrise]

Thanks Amanda for following our journey, Sunrise 3 is really coming together beautifully.

[@OnTheFlipSide]

@@CruisingSunrise Nice, I wasn't sure if you were keeping her name. Do you have a guesstimate finish date?

[@MarketingStrategies28]

​@@CruisingSunriseWhere are you Russ. No updates

[@marklong8608]

Thanks, love the design. Curious if you could take some video of the 44s next time you visit the factory. Thanks!

[@CruisingSunrise]

Will do Mark, are you getting a 44?

[@marklong8608]

@@CruisingSunrise I'm currently a sailor, but could see a LR44 in my future. I always thought Malcolm Tennents CS hullform made a lot of sense. I don't like pushing the water like most power boats, prefer to slice through it. I hope he's putting in thrust bearings to keep the noise and vibration down. I prefer a very quiet boat. Thanks for your videos.

[@CruisingSunrise]

@@marklong8608 yes thurst bearing are being used. that also was a request off ours , after all thats the great thing about sailing ,the quiteness. So we have speced 8kg insulation in the engine bays, under water exahust and the best engine mounts we could buy.

[@johnfallon6906]

I’m quite sure somebody has asked, what is the total price when completed?

[@guyb3410]

Slowly getting there.

[@CruisingSunrise]

Yes not long now maybe early January

[@trinidss]

What's the actuator that you're using for the windows?

[@CruisingSunrise]

It made by Firgelli Automations, a USA company. The model is 50 Bullet series with a 40 inch stroke

[@DoloresLowe]

Great video, she is coming along! Do you have any electrical in yet? What's your estimated completion date? Remember, we would love to have you guys aboard Sol Searcher if you get the itch!! We are just getting ready to head south from the Whitsundays. It's been such a great trip. Can't wait til we can anchor side by side and have kayak races (ok just kidding about the racing...)

[@CruisingSunrise]

Thanks Dolores, we are just back from Thailand and are over whelmed with stuff to do at the moment. the boat should be finished in january. The electrical is mostly done and all the cabinentry will be done by end next week . the windows go in then. I love a good challange, so your on!

[@HERMsafety]

Hi Russ, where can I find "4 page downloaded spec sheet" ?

[@CruisingSunrise]

Hi John , you will have to contact Longreach catamarans

[@doradosurfcharters]

Nice finish 👍I’m guessing international ?

[@CruisingSunrise]

The paint finish is Allgrip. My very good mate from Sailfish marine tells me its the best on the market!.

[@bobbuilder5362]

I think Moda marine uses the same paint. Looks great.@@CruisingSunrise

[@grantwatts681]

G'day guys, sorry abit confused, who is the Asian guy asking all the questions? Not spy I hope!

[@CruisingSunrise]

he is a guy who i meet through social media that wanted to buy a power catamaran. i meet up with him in thailand to have a look at my boat and to ask some questions of James

[@grantwatts681]

@@CruisingSunrise mmmm, I've worked in Asia, my wife is Thai, I know the way these guys operate, he was just asking way to many question that ( my wife and I think ) a normal person would not ask, anyway I hope he's legitimate.

[@CruisingSunrise]

@@grantwatts681 yes i do understand what you mean, in fact he has gone know futher at this stage.

[@grantwatts681]

@@CruisingSunrise yah, that's the impression I got, and my wife too, we are in Thailand soon, going down to see James. Thanks for the reply! P.S who turns-up with a laptop, writing stuff down constantly to buy a vessel.

[@CruisingSunrise]

@@grantwatts681 are you interested in a boat? i will be back there in early april

[@The442nd]

reading the the 4 page downloaded spec sheet, can you tell me where the 21.65ft of "air draft" is measure from, the top of the hardtop or the electrical components?

[@CruisingSunrise]

[@The442nd]

[@CruisingSunrise]
