⛵️ Building an Exploration 43ft Aluminum Deck Saloon Sailboat!! Ep.349

[@ifyn7621]

Oli is so adorable❤ it is exciting to the see the promise on the boat.

[@Georges-Doudoumis]

Congrats on Duca's mini copy! Love to all 3 of you from Athens, Greece! May the Force be with you, as newborns do take a lot of our energy!!!

[@MarkAllen-p6z]

I can’t believe how much precision goes into this part of the build. When you explain it, it totally makes sense. By the way, you’ve got a very cute boss!

[@Cptnbond]

I guess the boss will have more to say about the project going forward. Congrats on the excellent camera work. It's nice that the yard and the skilled workers get used to you running around to capture this fantastic aluminum build. Cheers.

[@johnheuts9230]

Impressive boat, very nice shape and a lots of space ! Can’t wait to see it.

[@lindacolaprete7324]

I never saw an infant that young look so much like his dad as this one looks like you Duca. Adorable!!!!

[@eternal_sailing]

Duca, your baby boy is the perfect little version of you! It's amazing how much he looks like you already.

[@maxwelledison5366]

You have a beautiful baby! I hope you are able to get some rest. No one understands the amount of time and energy in caring for a newborn, but in retrospect this time will be some of the most rewarding of your lives. The challenges you are facing today will soon be replaced by new challenges with each step forward, and they will be accompanied by new rewards. The boat is also also progressing well. The whole manufacturing process is similar to my background building military aircraft. Both use machined extruded and formed aluminum, and then the parts are hand fitted. The largest difference is that you're welding the boat and aircraft are riveted together.

[@tonysargent1699]

Guys, you have a real and proper "mini me"! Boat's going well too. Great stuff!

[@CorryVisser]

Congratulations on your gorgeous little bundle of joy 😂

[@davidjames5577]

So happy for all 3 of you. Wonderful family. Many blessings.

[@Dan-c2n1f]

Show happy mother with her beautiful baby for a few minutes each episode.

[@jamesvanian5524]

Fantastic. I am learning so much watching these videos. Keep well and safe. James.

[@ANASTASIOSROUSOUNELIS]

congratulations for the baby boy!! looks pretty and sweet!! i wish you had the resources to get a 60 feet boat, for amenities and a baby but...i hope this works...the boat looks very pretty and strong..take care! thanl you for updating us even havent slept at all...

[@davidhendrie6935]

Hi Duca! Hope the little one and Roberta are doing well. The term you were looking for to describe the "bridge" is... a "gantry crane" The crane or hoist is suspended from the gantry. Cheers!

[@DYoung-vt8pq]

Love you guys! So happy to see video of the baby. Be well. ❤

[@davidnichols147]

Wow, can't believe your flipping the boat over so soon, they really have completed quite a bit since starting. Our best to Roberta and young Oliver. Amazing!

[@paulzent3646]

What a beautiful baby! And he is a carbon copy of his dad!

[@jamezors667]

Watching Delos and Odd being built on opposite sides of the earth at the same time is amazing. Hopefully one day they meet in the middle near me.

[@TammyBillings-qt1ve]

He is so adorable 🥰. Congratulations

[@eimearshanahan1567]

Love to you guys and welcome Oli, very interesting to watch you guys build your boat from keel side up, while SV Delos are building inverted !!🤔

[@claudiobercht105]

Nope! SV Delos too was inverted a few days ago!

[@SailHub]

Good to see the wee man’s got you working! Awesome video guys!! So cool to see it coming together!

[@OddLifeCrafting]

🥰🥰

[@geoffroberts1608]

Congratulations to you both on the birth of your child. I find it fascinating watching the birth of your your second child I suppose you could say. Thanks for sharing ✨🫡

[@sailingfabule1805]

The workshop is an awesome place to have. I have one on our Boréal 47.2 fully equipped with a metal table lathe, and a place for a vice. Super useful, but working on the lathe is a bit cramped. Good luck with the workshop.

[@OddLifeCrafting]

You have a beautiful boat my friend! The designer that did a lot of the design of our boat came from Boreal less then a year ago. 🥰

[@dcallan812]

Nice to see the deck going down. The lead pallet really does make the deck bend.

[@ronanguegan1774]

Les travaux de construction de la coque avance bien. Bon courage et très bonne continuation à vous trois

[@ActiveAquaSPORTSOlympicS-ul1sw]

Duca ,,, Bridge === Crane ,, overhead Crane to lift heavy things... love watching your build and your explanation of the build of your Aluminium boat. Thanks

[@ssn608]

Yes, bridge crane

[@joseramos7476]

awe mini you both, God bless.

[@vickieragle4130]

Oh my, that's a lot of cuteness! I love seeing your new boss❤

[@jedp85]

looking forward fot the next part of the boat build

[@danielgarcesayesa8108]

Duke no puedes negar que es tu hijo es tu cara calcada muchas felicidades y bienvenido a este mundo desde Argentina

[@dindinha86]

O Oli é muuuuito queridinho🙌🤩 Vai crescer velejando o nosso marinheirinho lindo🫶🏻

[@OddLifeCrafting]

❤️❤️

[@lentongrovetrust5201]

My goodness we have a mini me in the house. Once again congratulations on the birth of you son, I wish him health, happiness and a wealth of experience in his life.

[@marcvanbiesbroeck7276]

Fantastic project. Great to make us live this other birth and to realise the progress of the construction step by step, the difficulty of adjusting all the pieces of the puzzle and the experience of the shipyard. Good luck.

[@burtwilliams8620]

Congratulations to you both on your new baby!! What a fantastic addition to your life-changing events! Can you enlighten me on something that's been 'eating at me' ever since the boat-build started. First, a disclaimer; I know a little bit about corrosion but I'm certainly not anywhere near an expert. Are you at all concerned about corrosion and how are you planning on dealing with it. I know that aluminum corrodes very quickly with salt water. Quick research on the internet states that special coatings are available. I was just curious to ask; are you at all concerned?

[@gardenrailroading]

Very cool!! Cannot wait to see the wood work start!

[@jeremyallard7015]

It's looking really good guys. Abraco familia.

[@nomorehate9176]

Oli is just adorable!! It's going to be so much fun to watch him grow!! If you're ever in Houston, Texas, USA and need a baby-sitter, let me know!! 😁

[@srmarques925]

Hola preciosa: el "muñecon" es igual que su padre!!! Felicidades!!!!

[@acblack1032]

Now that is one good looking boy. Has Duca's face and Roberta's eyes :) What I like is we can see the growth of two new born lol Delos make sure you keep those two in check hehehe

[@rodriguesalmeida3200]

A criança é a cara do pai kkkk . Muitos parabéns e que tenha vida longa e com muita saúde e felicidade.

[@williamanderson5488]

no mistaking who his dad is!

[@PtangPtangBiscuitBarrelSmith]

I thought the same.

[@hooter7003]

Yep Roberta didn’t even get a looking 😅

[@bubbleobill267]

We just have to find out who the Mother is now…

[@Wacked]

That's the beauty of babies, they first look like the dad to gain their affection, then transition more towards the look of the mother and after the first year that's when people usually begin to notice they look like both their parents.

[@eduardoHMYT]

That is a Beautifull mass of aluminium!

[@josecarloscampelo7501]

Boa noite Roberta,Duka e bebê Oli.🥰🥰🥰

[@mikepetitt9624]

Wow Duca the boat is looking great! And man your son looks just like you! You have a mini me! Going to have to get him a captains outfit for sure!😂

[@KarelRode]

A baby! Made in Brazil, produced in France! Congratulations. Soon you will be "dad... dad --- questions". So lovely to work though the years of new adventures and curiosity. Enjoy!

[@josecarloscampelo7501]

O barco é muito reforcado em suas estruturas, e agora ja da pra ver como ele é grande.☺️

[@32hyb1]

There is certainly a lot of room you won't know yourselves. Allan❤

[@uneboule]

When you began your adventure you where many thousands kilometers from me, now you're barely 50 km away 😂. Félicitations pour le petit !

[@th-zd4oj]

looking great

[@patricksimas1193]

Oli é um mini Duca!!!!

[@tonydownunder5703]

Your video just came up so I watch it and then subscribe. Now I have to go right back in time to get the full story. Coz I’m thinking it’s going to be an incredible adventure. Keep going don’t wait for me coz I’ll catch up ok 👍👍👍 Thanks for sharing 👍

[@OddLifeCrafting]

Welcome aboard my friend! 🥰

[@galzoul]

Very cool 👍

[@shaunglendinning]

Looking great!!

[@mitchellbrown9010]

It looks like the boat will be finished before the van

[@OddLifeCrafting]

It definitely will. I didn't''t expect to spend so much time at the yard. I'm there everyday and with a new born the van is in stand by. 😅 We will explain more about the dynamics of the videos going forward son. For now we are focusing in making sure the aluminum part as soon as possible. 🥰

[@dougjacksonart]

Intresting stuff. Can3t see them using a laser for datum. Thought that would make thing easier.

[@jameshampton-lk6hs]

Excelente progresso

[@etoileswart3476]

When welding aluminium, some nasty smoke is created, so the wise thing is to wear a Air Pack while doing this! The other channel about aluminium boat building ,is called ,Distant Shores. Good luck.

[@roberto186]

Great!

[@AbelFernandez-dz8xx]

Duca es tu carita el bebito un abrazo enorme amigos felicitaciones

[@martymcfly3986]

parabens, ta ficando muito legal e ta progredindo muito bem

[@markusschmidt4803]

Hoje moro na Alemanha mas me identifiquei muito com a sua história 😊 quem sabe nos encontramos em algum porto no mediterrâneo

[@josepecanocano1587]

Ya se ve el velero perfecto fantásticas noticias, y por cierto el bebe es idéntico que tu jejejej precioso , que sigas disfrutando la vida amigo, saludos desde Malaga España

[@billmandaue2168]

What you are calling a bridge is actually an overhead crane. They are very common in manufacturing settings where heavy materials are moved around the work area.

[@Dragging79]

Looks exactly like dad.

[@GilbertAppleby]

Amazing! Can you explain your decision to have the chain locker in the middle?

[@haliloral3880]

çok güzel

[@steveknight878]

Your new baby definitely looks somewhat like his Dad. Let's hope your boat project is done on time, just like this little chap did.

[@charlesbechtel9976]

Somewhat? That's a mini Luca, especially when he yawned.

[@steveknight878]

@@charlesbechtel9976 Yes, indeed. The similarity is amazing.

[@clivestainlesssteelwomble7665]

Bavaria40 Its a small yard and they probably are working small teams on each boat they are building. The design/construction method is as you said dependent on the metal workers skills .. due to the shaped stressed skin inwards design. Which is what drew them to this yard a long way from the sea in the first place.

[@HeyMichaelLeo]

0:10 looks like daddy has some strong Gene's

[@OddLifeCrafting]

🥰

[@OddLifeCrafting]

🥰

[@Luigi_Vaz]

just like Spanish Borbon kings 😂

[@johnzink3309]

thx

[@RandomPrecisionMotors]

Looks just like Dad! By the way, "Bridge" = Overhead Crane

[@JUANACEVEDO-y9t]

Saludos desde Uruguay💪💪💪🍻

[@wolframschweier3307]

If I understand the pipe explanation correctly (3:17) a hardened steel anchor chain is going to be pulled back and forth through a long aluminum pipe. Can the pipe be easily replaced?

[@OddLifeCrafting]

We will add a inner non metalic pipe. Pvc, hdpe or uhmw. And this one we can replace easily.

[@crash8681]

So gyro - gimbal stabilised crib on the boat for smooth baby handling?

[@ArcticSeaCamel]

Excellent progress! Question: are you attending to METS trade this year? If so, it would be awesome to meet with you! 😊

[@OddLifeCrafting]

Yes, but I will go alone as Oli is way to young to go to a trade show. 😅 We can definitely meet! 🥰

[@josecarloscampelo7501]

Como Oli é parecido com o Duka.🥰🥰🥰

[@DarrenBainbridge]

What's the hull plate thinkness? I'm amazed at the lack of frames and stringers in the hull. Going to be very light.

[@OddLifeCrafting]

The Steongall Method of construction consistes in less structured and to compensate with thicker plates. In our design the bottom plate has 12mm the second (under the water line) 10mm and above the water line 8mm. Deck 6mm and saloon roof 5mm. 😎

[@michaelvanwinkle7919]

What type of Keel and rudder configuration will your boat have?

[@bravescatz]

Dad's mini me, Roberta gets no credit after all of her hard work. Enjoy every minute.

[@lakehouse1894]

Are you giving up on the van project? Now with the baby have you decided to continue to live where you are living now? It looks like the hull will be finished soon so that you can start working on it and if I know you guys I don’t see you having a finished hull and NOT working on it. I know I couldn’t resist working on the boat.

[@carlcarlamos9055]

Watching the boat progress with interest. Duka, have you learned diapering? Make sure you help with that, and do it with a high degree of skill. Don’t let the women talk bad about you. Don’t let the men’s side down. Hope all stay well. Thanks for the videos.

[@RafaelCodina]

precioso barco. como esta el Peque y tu mujer

[@garystewart854]

What about the van?

[@ReadMichaelParenti]

Gantry crane.

[@joes7166]

Not a Gantry crane, Overhead crane. Gantry has legs on each side that goes down the ground, or close to the ground. Overhead cranes runs on rails that are on beams that are part of the buildings structure.

[@danielkimvidal4428]

Roberta Just carry Oli, it's mini Luca 🥰

[@lovingcars]

Looks good, been watching them build Delos 2.0, which looks massive, its a catamaran. Do you guys have a natural preference to sail mono-hulls?

[@Kingsoly]

How much thicker is this construction method more than the full frame style

[@OddLifeCrafting]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/qGqkdWCpm8abjtUsi=VZRdkIZOElFVoVdd

[@EdwardTilley]

It's not a bridge, it's a gantry crane; an overhead shop crane.

[@DDixon3121]

Regarding the chain pipe, won't that be noisy as heck as the chain passes through it? What am I missing?

[@dazzaist]

I see a big future problem with the long aluminium pipe for the anchor chain.

[@OddLifeCrafting]

Boreal has being building boats for years this way and it works great ☺️⛵️

[@claudiobercht105]

Olá casal! Em função deste vídeo, fico imaginando se para vocês não teria sido mais vantajoso construir o barco na Austrália, como o SV Delos? O idioma seria mais fácil, a diferença cultural talvez menos aguda...enfim! Só pensando! Felicidades! Acompanhando por aqui!

[@guanyiliu-z7w]

congratulations you two! i also have a plan to have my own aluminum sailboat, so i wander to know how much will u pay to the boat factory include everything? thanks

[@OddLifeCrafting]

We will finish the interior and all the systems myself so at this moment to be honest we don’t really know. We will take on baby steps. And equipment will very depending how low on money we are when the time comes. 😅

[@guanyiliu-z7w]

@@OddLifeCrafting thanks alot for your response, i konw you will finish the interior by yourself, do u know the price framework of this sailboat and the mast？

[@OddLifeCrafting]

@@guanyiliu-z7w for that the prices varies a lot according to the aluminum price. If you want to know the price now contact us though our email [e-mail] that we will put you in contact with the boatyard

[@dean3184]

why was the chain locker moved?

[@johnshropshire3399]

👍👍👏

[@justinsmith1828]

It’s called a “Bridge Crane” in the U.S.

[@eimearshanahan1567]

Roberta, Oli is already 5 weeks old, 6 weeks is the magic covery time from any operation. f you are not feeling healed, please please get a check up ( speaking from experience !)

[@Bavaria40CruiserPlusTuning]

Only two person works on your boat? It seems very artisanal. Wow many month between order and splash-down?
