CATAMARAN SUGAR SCOOP (TRANSOM) EXTENSION!! - Part 1 (Episode 121)

After repairing our bulkheads inside, we start the next project which is to extend the boat by 1.5 feet. The Lagoon 450 has a very small bottom step, so we decide to extend the sugar scoop to create a nice swim platform. We also do it in a way that extends our waterline, so we may notice a small increase in stability and performance. Very exciting!

For those saying get back to sailing, please be patient. We have everything set up to get this job done in a few weeks, while paying cheap rates at a great yard, so we may as well get this job done now, which we have been wanting for a very long time. The tiny step is awful for loading things on and off the boat, diving, fishing surfing etc etc. This is going to pay dividends when crossing the pacific. We also got struck by lightning so have to do an electrical overhaul so it won’t be white Sandy beaches and palm trees for a couple months. Trust me, no one wants this more than I do.

[@aquacruisedb]

I love watching the shipyard stuff, very interesting, and great work - thanks Colin!

Am the same as you Colin,not going anywhere soon, ps Eskies are much easier to load and pronounce than Chilly Bins

Good times when the videos go from structural damage to comfort improvements. Good for you, guys. You deserve to make Parlay your dream boat.

[@mikevickers1391]

This is one of the best sailing channels on YT...real life problems and fixes by people who use the available resources and lots of common sense to get things done. I much prefer this interesting content to the channels with just bikini clad females and folk sucking on beer cans. These videos are never long enough for me , they're the highlight of my week!

Me too!!!! Well said!

Thank God for Jamie he is definitely a ride or die!!!! So sending love and prayers your way😊😊

I think i will have no problems when i buy my sailboat (no not a cat though) down in the carribean in 2 years . The added bonus i'm retiring from an airline so easy to fly. The hardest problem is getting my wife on board..literally. Thanks for the vids you ALL make.

I think this might be the moment when Parlay transitions from ‘production’ to ‘custom’. Great job. Parlay is ready to take on the world!!

[@Pav4Fun]

Next episode: Collin: We though about things some more and we decided to build an extension on top of the cabin as a lookout post / outdoor dunny. and maybe some bars off the side to which we can attach a net so as we are sailing, people could enjoy the water while hanging onto the net, cruise ship style. You guys rock!, look forward to your videos every week 😊👍

[@rogerblackwood8815]

As virtually anyone who gets it does! Makes you think it was all a bit of an over reaction to what Jamie said "Felt like flu"? Why get an unproven injection to protect you from a couple of days of flu that doesn't seem to cause anyone any problems, apart from a couple of days of fever, coughs etc?

[@kiwi_welltraveled4375]

@@rogerblackwood8815 Have you not been watching the news? Millions dead, millions with long term effects and a vaccine that works! Science not conspiracies..... If your not worried about yourself worry about those around you, take the vaccine!

[@rogerblackwood8815]

@@kiwi_welltraveled4375 Try and look at the big picture. In the last two years the world population has grown by over 160 million people! Just put some scale to that figure, that is almost half of the US (Pop circa 328 million) In another two years the current population growth will have replaced the entire United States of America, so 4 million is neither here nor there! There are almost 8 BILLION people on this planet now, they will all die in appx 85 years, depending on location, that is almost 100 million people per year! But for some reason the whole world has decided to focus, to the exclusion of all others, on JUST ONE Vy-RUS! that only caused, depending on how you define "Caused", 2% of them! Why doesn't the other 98% of causes of death get any media attention? In the UK they stated recently the Vy-rus is 27th in the list of causes of death. Name one other issue where so much attention is applied to such a minor problem? Just to emphasise the issue, 96 million people died in the last two years of causes other than the Vy-rus which apparently caused 4 million deaths! Don't you think it is a little bit strange to devote such vast resources on one tiny part of the problem? In the UK there is a massive difference in dying OF as opposed to Dying WITH the Vy-rus! Have a look at this site: www.worldometers.info/world-population/ and see if you can get a grip on the size of the numbers involved. And to all those who say one life lost is too many, WHY DOESN'T THAT APPLY TO THE OVER 2000 PEOPLE WHO HAVE DIED DUE TO THE vak scene?

[@kiwi_welltraveled4375]

@@rogerblackwood8815 Wow, Roger, that's a lot to take on board. So let me see if I've got this correct... Your anti-vacc's because the world population is too high. So your using the virus as a population control? Then there's the seperate issue of resources been directed at the virus when more people die from other causes. The problem is that Covid-19 would have surpassed the other leading causes of death had it been left unchecked. Then you go on some unhinged wild "Tucker" conspiracy rant that makes no sense unless your living under a mushroom in a social media fantasy world. It's not too late, you can save yourself and more importantly, those around you if you just take the vaccine. If not then I guess your right, the population is to high and we'll just let Darwinism play out...... I wish you and yours all the best, I feel your going to need it!

[@challenger2ultralightadventure]

"Get back to sailing?" Well, I'm a big fan of a person named Mike Patey. You should check out his KZbin channel. Amazing man. He has a saying that has caught on in a big way. "Back To Work"! So I support all your works and efforts, and all I have to say is Back To Work! The sailing will happen when it happens, after you have made your boat sea worthy, sound, and a proper home. Cheers from Winnipeg.

Exactly!! This is what boating is all about ;)

[@carlkenyon4599]

Great job you guys. You could always make a flip up lid on the extension and this would be the perfect "chilly bin" for access to cans whilst relaxing in the water

Rebuilding damage that was already there is one thing, designing and creating something brand new is next level. Impressive creativity.

Shout out to Jamie, who's been first mate through thick and thin with great humor and strong back. Also, I'm curious if the new extension will change the sailing properties being on one side and not the other. Or is the difference too minute to worry about? (I don't know squat about sailing)

Yeah. I got a laugh last week when Colin talked about how he quit smoking in order to be a model for others. IMO, he is a modern Odysseus going through one trial after another and not someone I would recommend anyone emulate. Don't get me wrong. It is a good thing to quit smoking. Now he won't have to pack any tobacco for his next ocean voyage, but who would look at all of the trouble he has put himself through for a boat and say, "I want to do that!"
