CATAMARAN BUILD - How Many Guys Does It Take To Carry A Transom? (MJ Sailing - Ep 210)

[@41magfan]

Can't wait till it hits the water. You guys rock.

[@MJSailing]

Thank you so much!! Hope you can wait another 23 months for the splash, lol.

[@VilenGodin]

subtitles it's good! thanks!

[@rnbspowa7of69]

That’s a smart man right there with kneepads and gloves! 👍😎

[@HopeOfJoe]

OMG 😱 WOW ‼️ You got the transom in the tent and in the right position. B. R. A. V. O. ‼️ 🎉 Niiiiiice to have more helping hands. ✨🌊🌬⛵️🏝👙🌞✨

[@MJSailing]

It was so incredibly wonderful having Ryan and Burt around. We may have to snag them for another week in spring. 😉

[@WMCC240654]

Wow ! Great helpers !!! They moved that big piece without any hiccups ! Looking good.

[@MJSailing]

Hope you enjoy next week's episode where we get it up on the deck! 😃👍

[@jimlofts5433]

Ryan and Burt are legends - hope we see them again - maybe at splash ??

[@larryboles629]

I feel some real satisfaction watching you. I think this comes from the fact that it is you doing the work and not me. You all are just smoking it!! Be happy, be safe

[@MJSailing]

We'll be happy to do the work if you keep on watching!! 😃👍

[@bkackman]

Wow, this was a fast episode. You always get the best help and do such a good job directing them. Progress every week. Exciting.

[@MJSailing]

Just wait until you see the next few!! Our goal is for the cockpit seats, deck, and windows to go in before winter gets here. 😮

[@BrunoWiebelt]

good planing and many hands goes a long way

[@mp6756]

Wow you guys have made serious progress in what seems to be a very short time. After watching your aluminum refit project I knew you guys would quickly pick up the fiber composite skills necessary for this build. The KZbin community has been feeding this build steroids. The help of other KZbinrs and support from your followers your ripping through the build. Thanks for sharing stay safe

[@christianestories]

Amazing perseverance you show there. Good work!

[@nealeburgess6756]

Great progress. It is beginning to look like a catamaran.

[@peetky8645]

best build video yet. nice to see ryan again.

[@philmarro1588]

Ryan and Burt are just amazing. Their work ethic is unsurpassed

[@jaredjohnson8553]

Amazing how adding two people more than doubles your work pace. 2X as much person-power but also added incentive to kick things through and make sure you're not wasting their time. So fun to see your progress!

[@MJSailing]

Ryan and Burt definitely helped to keep us motivated through each day!

[@TheAtma50]

This episode was a real turning point in the build and very exciting ! Where are ye on your build schedule .. (on time, a head of time or behind) I think I know the answer, the schedule is as accurate as your laser !! Stay Safe & Fair Winds !!

[@MJSailing]

Right now we're a few months behind where we originally anticipated, just because July had us running out of supplies, and August was too hot to work full days. Having Ryan and Burt there helped us pick back up a few weeks, but now we're anticipating a fall 2023 splash, instead of summer.

[@JCrook1028]

@@MJSailing The time to launch is always "2 years" until the last week then it's "a few months". :)

[@lesterwicklein717]

love watching thanks

[@rickwilson3032]

Its awesome to see the excitement that a couple of helping hands bring to the project. Way to go.

[@jevmen2683]

I have been watching you guys from Ukraine for a long time and admire your perseverance. Methodically everything will work out and the time will come to remember the work done and part of life. Well done, great, keep it up! Давно смотрю вас с Украины ребята и восхищаюсь вашей усидчивостью. Методично все получится и настанет время воспоминаний о проделанной работе и части жизни. Молодцы, великолепно, так держать!

[@rickemmet1104]

The boat is really starting to look beautiful, as the larger pieces come together! Using straps for a large heavy piece is exactly the way to move stuff; it's far easier than you'd think. This is an important episode, everyone that may be interested in building a MC-42 can see the speed with which the process moves with just two additional workers. Kudos to Ryan and Burt for coming to help! Your neighbor "Breezin' Thru" looks like an old Schnellboot; for a power craft, it will just sip fuel. It's a very interesting design. You guys should be very proud of your accomplishments so far!

[@emerkamp1]

Volunteers are the best

[@extremelydave]

It sure looks like you made a quantum leap this video!!! Getting rid of the x's underneath sure made things look different!!! Good job all!!!

[@MJSailing]

We can not even tell you how long we've been waiting for that moment. 😍

[@Duh6666666]

Great progress, it is so exciting to see the transom inside the tent, can't wait for next week. Ryan is a sailor's best friend, man, does he ever add torque to a team.

[@MJSailing]

We hope you'll really like next week's episode where we get it lifted up! Yes, Ryan and Burt were such a help and we REALLY loved having them with us!!

[@jacklaird7967]

This is the fastest 22 min. in my life each week. Just love the work and the planning involved. Nice, very nice. And yes I have binged all your videos. Loved the experience.

[@MJSailing]

Thank you so much for following along! We're so glad to hear you look forward to new episodes each week. 😃

Nice job on getting all that done MJ crew! Well done! Keep rolling along! That is one big piece of fiberglass lol boat is coming together nicely!

[@mischafellner2892]

“Like a glove”.( the fit). Sweeeeeeet!

[@urlkrueger]

It will be interesting to see how this goes when the snow starts flying. Or has it already? "Hey Hon, when will the tent be warm enough to start bonding?" "Oh, ... April .... No, probably May."

[@MJSailing]

Oh my gosh...this winter is going to be harsh!! We have two heating lamps already that we focused on areas we've just glassed. But we need to enclose the hulls to properly heat them.

[@спокойныйводитель-ь9р]

@@MJSailing but do the cases need to be heated? will irreversible consequences happen to them in the cold? cracks?

Excellent video! Keep up the great work.

[@jnjentinc]

Such exciting times !

[@graeme-sailingskeptic]

More and more progress every week!

[@mkllove]

Don't know if you've already attached stern section, but I was going to suggest tilting it up and into place just above the section where it is bonded.. leaving a gap so it can later be lowered into contact with bonding methacrylate. I'm thinking a set of 3 2x4's overlapped so middle extends opposite other pair... kinda like an adjustable crutch...

[@MJSailing]

It has already been attached, and the guys found some really cool ways to easily move it around. I'm editing next week's episode right now, and I've found it so intriguing that I'm on 8 minutes of footage just to get it lifted on the deck, lol. (Might have to edit that down, now that I say it out loud)

[@clintcoombs8097]

"Holy shit it worked" Hilarious!!!

[@MJSailing]

My favorite line was when Burt said " Don't trip, Tucker, we're not slowing down for you!!". 😂

[@marklapierre5629]

The project continues.

[@edwardnigma2216]

Gonna need a "X days since last shin banging" sign for those lower supports...

[@MJSailing]

They've actually been better than we thought. The real shin bang (for me) came from moving around the cockpit seats! (A few episodes from now) - Jessica

[@10lauset]

Cheers.

[@handaferguson]

Great Job!!! Thank You…. :-)

[@addictedtopussy69]

I had a good look at the ceiling while the camera was pointed up there for an idea on how to get the transom piece up to where you need it and for the rest of the pieces you need to get on top of the boat. get two snatch blocks to hang on the ceiling there so you can pull any piece you need up. Probably would speed up any installation you need to do up top. Maybe even mount 4 snatch blocks for each corner of the boat. One pulley will reduce lifting force by 50%. Two pulleys will reduce it by another 50% and so forth.

[@burtdavis6426]

That's some real outside the box thinking......

[@court2379]

Need to put a small sealed hatch on each end of that center rib. You could store long stuff in there.

[@zihnigurdereli]

[@charlesplewes48]

What was the small yellow wire in the bottom of the beam held in place by black tape?

[@MrMoave]

Hi, have you think about the "boatlift", be cause it looks like there is small space between floor and hull? Just thinking it ll be better to rise the hull before it's too heavy :)

[@JCrook1028]

all they need is room for a strap.

[@RF-yh3qh]

amazing work!! How thick are those foam hulls?

[@danieloliver20]

Epic build, Jess & Matt... Hoofing that aft peice looked "fun", were's the Advil? 😁

[@MJSailing]

No Advil, just double IPAs at the end of the day. 😉

[@petetjaarda5112]

[@dantoddruns]

I know they will get sealed but does it pain anyone else watching holes get drilled into the hull? I want to see the scrum board you are using for this project.

[@MJSailing]

No kind of scrum board, lol - all mental pictures and reminders.

[@ctown6971]

I don't know I think I would have left top rail on just to help with any tiny bit of deflection. Just me though.

[@BillB23]

I've long been of the opinion that if you can't have fun doing it, it's probably not worth doing. I love seeing the process of the work, but the fun is an essential part of any job. It's what keeps us humans human.

[@MJSailing]

Even today when we were in full tyvek suits, sanding for 7 hours, I was still loving every moment of it! - Jessica

[@MarkFuchs]

Very complicated process!

[@cinderswolf3929]

How can you lift the back panel errrrr you have a strong lifting frame right above the boat !

[@MJSailing]

Unfortunately, it's not a strong frame, lol. We've been asked not to use that frame to support anything since it's quite old and rusting at ground level.

[@chefevilee9566]

So where do you think y’all are at on this catamaran build? Ahead of schedule, right on time, or lagging behind?

[@MJSailing]

Lagging behind just a bit because of supply delays. We had a hard time getting our hands on resin over the summer, and that put us a bit behind. We expect to splash in October 2023.

[@lfaf9509]

This video is a year old, so it doesn't matter now but.. They could of just used a two by four from one jack to the other, that way they could have had equal upward pressure all across the beam, and they wouldn't have needed to put extra holes in their Catamaran.. I don't know why, but for me that is often the hardest part of watching this series, watching someone put unnecessary holes in their boat. Every hole is just another place where they could get a leak, if not right away then down the road. They are weak points, and I can't help but twitch every time they do it lol.

[@MJSailing]

All the holes get fiberglassed again and won't create leaks. The seams need steady and equal pressure to create a fair surface and the only way to do this is to drill the seams as shown. Otherwise we'd have even more fairing of the exterior with uneven alignment.

[@lfaf9509]

@@MJSailing Don't get me wrong here, I am aware the holes get fiberglassed again, and they won't likely leak right away... But they are weak spots which down the road are more likely to leak than the spots you didn't put holes in. I did describe a way of putting equal pressure al across the seam without using the screws. So it wasn't the only way possible, it was likely just the only way you thought of at the time. You are doing a great job, much better than I could ever do, and just like with all other things, "pobody's Nerfect". :)
