[@stephen-collins]

I heard comments were helpful, so I hope this helps!

[@SAILINGintoFREEDOM]

Thanks Stephen

[@arthurme1911]

As little kids who’d say to there mom or dad when driving on a long trip are we there yet lol

[@zendesigner]

it's sure goes quicker then MJ ...sailing 🤣

[@svthorasailing4868]

They’d be two years in by now aren’t they?

[@traitorhatergetarope3163]

There is still a long way to go. The tedious shit has yet to start. Looking good, though..

[@-RyN-23]

2 ppl building vs 20. Plus a shop with all the correct tools and knowledge, yeah it deff Flys by

[@markw6586]

I think once she is finished you should take these guy's out for a sail, for all the hard work they have put in. There bloody legends!!!

[@rexmick]

I agree, they're all going at it flat out, and all of them there seem to know their shit.

[@dionoakman9953]

Free hearing aids?

[@hydewhyte4364]

that presumes they ever want to see this boat again after all this.

[@jorgenlundberg2876]

Time for @Oceanvolt to stepp upp if they ever gonna take the elcano .

[@jmarksims4400]

Who are some of the sponsors you are seeking? Who manufactures the motors? If we knew the patrons might be able to demonstrate support and provide a "helpful" nudge. Maybe.

[@moelnaghi3714]

Those lovely ladies should be the first to join the new boat journey 😉😁 God bless you bro

[@dennispatrick4999]

Plucky looks like he will be racing Parlay this year!!

[@petergroves9343]

I'm still amazed at how this is progressing

[@559949]

My wife and I always love watching your content. We are so stoked to see you bouncing back. Keep it going Plucky! Can not wait to see what you do next. Thank you for bringing us along as you go on your journey!

[@caza00caza]

How do I get one?

[@TTM-GEB]

It would be great if you could do a short recap of why you almost started up in Grease and how you ended up here. I have watched every episode but don't recall a clear story of this. Awsome how it is all turning out!!!

[@SAILINGintoFREEDOM]

Patron video

[@davidwood4427]

Good stuff peeepol.

[@rayb226]

I hope your sponsors are as fast as these guys building your boat.

[@KaiSchirrmacher]

I am so happy for this, couldn't imagine plucky having fun three years in the jungle to build on his own like with Tim Mumby.

[@grahamsengineering.2532]

Nice to finally know who the two lovely young ladies are Plukky, they're gorgeous.

[@billyjames7735]

the progress is amazing I don't think you would have been this far in a year plukky

[@ckfpv]

Starting to take shape my mate 💯💯💯✌️give them guys a break with all the questions,lol😂

[@johnmajewski1065]

Hi, Plucky since you started this epic journey I have watched in wonder. I too share your worry nothing is cheap in boat building Just less expensive in your case. I wish you the very Best of Luck finding your sponsors. SV Skoiern IV

[@robertbuckley3582]

Those ladies are a great addition

[@nealchristensen1793]

No messing around ! Thank you !

[@user-fd4pt5nb3v]

The workers are really doing a great job and it's going fast keep the video coming Jeff the Navy vet

[@SAILINGintoFREEDOM]

It is indeed Jeff...worrying

[@evanlewis5347]

The progress is incredible!! Way to go Plukky!!

[@gcrauwels941]

The hull is really starting to take shape with the stringers tying it together. I'm hoping you can get the motors sorted out soon. Good deal.

[@dannyfisher9223]

She's coming along nicely Plukky!! Hopefully you get a sponsor for the electric engines soon 🙏 cheers mate.

[@leadreviewer3257]

Everything moving along nicely and rapidly

[@jakewestor7840]

Love the chit chat with your fans, that was top stuff. They're right, we are quality people!

[@angela1984a]

Freedom in it's aluminium form.

[@comfortablynumb9342]

Top stuff Plukky. I'm more than impressed.

[@melinda5777]

This is all great. But when you say your nervous, I get nervous!! Praying for them Engine Sponsors!!! ✝️🙏❤🇺🇸🇸🇭⛵👣🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍🤗

[@Andyfunsail]

You're bloody funny Pluckster! So good to see your cat taking shape so quickly. Gotta love aluminium and MIG welding!

[@robinmalina2645]

The progress is incredible!! The shipbuilding crew are very quick! Starting to look like a catamaran!😄😄😄 Good deal.

[@rothgartheviking858]

Thats crazy how fast they are.

[@VonBluesman]

That is a great group of workers, they work at an amazing pace and are extremely productive and efficient. You made the best choice Plukky. 👍😎✌️

[@rvz3215]

I can’t wait anymore to see you sailing Plukky! Grtz. from the Netherlands

[@capttom7772]

Plukky, I finally see your boat... and she's a "BEAUTY"!

[@MsMixd]

Looking good Plukky. It must be amazing for a captain to see every rib, fit-up, and weld as it is installed. You will be able to "see" it in your mind, every time you crest a big wave.

[@braithmiller]

Know your ship, trust your ship. ❤

[@kristaready8812]

This is gonna be your year Plukky, I can feel it! 🤗💞

[@MrAitutaki]

They operate like a well-oiled machine. Top stuff👍

[@wangofree]

I am gobsmacked at the progress, simply amazing. Like all sub frames this beautiful aluminum will eventually be "hidden".

[@Stenn333]

Is "gobsmacked" some clever Aussie term ? Where does that come from ? 🙂

[@marklapierre5629]

It's so great to see the rapid progress of your hull. As you point out, waiting on equipment to materialize my put the breaks on that. Thanks for introducing us to the lovely ladies. Do good, be safe.

[@trentdelancy3130]

Just amazing how fast the build is. You are truly blest with a great boat build.

[@pierrefiore6933]

amazing progress, thanks for the intro to the ladies

[@sonnylange3051]

Starting to look like a catamaran!

[@ianh2674]

Very impressive progress Peter.

[@fulltimber]

" untoward ", you really sold that mate 😂

[@philsmith8231]

Onya mate, looks like I backed a winner!!!

[@SAILINGintoFREEDOM]

A long time coming but yes.... and now its too bloody quick ha

[@brianmalon735]

The build is too fast …. Who would had thought this would be a problem , like last year when your in Greece . You will find a way , it will exciting to see where your at a year from now , keep up the good work.

[@Gunner521]

This is so great watching your catamaran being built.👍

[@olecurmudgeon]

Good job those guts are doing. Impressive. And those two girls need to be first crew aboard.

[@pemman]

Getting into shape. Nice one Plukky 😊

[@Barjumpa1]

Quality Stuff People

[@Scalihoo]

I'd wear ear protection around those grinders Plukky 🎧

[@jamesgordon2289]

Such incredible progress! great video Plucky

[@chrispy104k]

It's all happening here. Massive progress.

[@1_Tim]

It's looking amazing!

[@boganbob2708]

Love ya work Pluckky. Great progress mate.

[@ggauche3465]

They sure have done a lot in a few weeks. How long before you've got an actual sailing boat in the water? If they can keep up the pace, I'd say 2 years, at least.

[@NCMTNBOY]

The progress is amazing!

[@patrickcoleman3]

Glad you cleared that up about the girls I thought they were boat stiffeners.

[@rodbennett4790]

G'day Plukky, Wow. Now it really looks something!

[@stevecrombie5357]

Amazing progress. Good luck with motors Plukky. I have to believe some company would love to have their brand attached to this project.

[@TimsBitsnPieces]

They are doing a fantastic job and you definetly have the right place to be building it... that will be built in no time at all.... it is really starting to look like a boat now.. Congrats Plukky...

[@davidfreeman4625]

Really great progress each week. Do we all need to email Ocean Volt or Torqeedo to give them a nudge?

[@SAILINGintoFREEDOM]

Bellmarine, combi, fischerpanda etc

[@ptrkarlberg]

Amazing progress!

[@erniestille624]

There kicking ass !

[@LoanwordEggcorn]

Starting to look like a boat, with the stringers in place.

[@stefanieobermeder2065]

Yayyyy It’s finally happening!!

[@yachticus]

the old adage - many hands make light work

[@ahazureus]

Wooo-Hooooo! Oh Baby, "Loook'in Gooood", brother Peter, I love this stuff, I was a welder and just loved me some "ALUMINUM" 😄😄😄 The progress is incredible!! Way to go Plukky; what ya gon'a name her? Let me know, I'll be here for you?

[@EdHelwig]

Construction is looking good Plukky!

[@tunnelrabbit2625]

Enjoying the build and the funky music intro. Gotta get you back into the water soon...

[@davidpeck8351]

That is one heck of an air distribution system. Impressive. Not elves Peter... minions!

[@daveb6470]

Awesome progress Plukky.

[@c.douglaslyon9949]

Excellent clip.

[@deanostevenson9238]

Enjoying the build

[@brentpenfold1795]

Good luck Peter with the electric motor supplier. If you’re in discussion with Oceanvolt you would imagine they’d love the opportunity to move on from their previous failed sponsorship and be associated with a more determined and hopefully successful Elcano Challenge. It’s all good and well to be aligned with the hipster KZbinrs, but nothing beats the publicity that would result from being the chosen electric engine on a world wide attention grabbing successful carbon-free circumnavigation. It’s a no brainer.

[@SAILINGintoFREEDOM]

No discussion unfortunately

[@alejandrovanags4948]

Looking good plucky. Good progress!

[@robertbuckley3582]

Amazing progress

[@trevhedges]

Cheers mate..😊

[@Keith24GB]

Loving the New Girls on the channel ❤

[@dgrant2467]

The shipbuilding crew are very quick! I agree with you, Plukky, it would have taken way longer to do the build on your own! Top stuff!

[@anthonyexton7243]

Tuck Tuck motors and truck batteries 😎

[@kranzonguam]

Outstanding!

[@traitorhatergetarope3163]

Congrats, mate... need to bring the girls sailing when its done... 🇺🇸🤘🤘🇺🇸

[@thomasanderson1783]

What an amazing time lapse of the exo skeleton! Showing way more than la va gobon. Boats cool but i love the in water content also. Hope you got yourself some new swim britches. After all, you still have to survive

[@gardenrailroading]

Looking beautiful! Cannot wait to see her afloat!

[@DanvilleTrain888]

Ahoy Plukky!🏴‍☠

[@rickdaniel8478]

Cool 😊 Sail on !

[@robertlemoine3500]

Congratulations 😊

[@andrewkeir2282]

amazing work

[@donnamagers2194]

Good on ya mate! 👍

[@peternairn4474]

Wow its big, congrats Plucky Hope it slays the market and you become a millionaire 🎉😅 It looks like an airplane construction, our dad worked hard like that for 👏

[@bobcatman3844]

Nice work man

[@8marcrara11]

Goodonya Plukky!!🤙Ya doin good mate !! 🤙very much Top Stuff!!🧿🐉🍄🇦🇺

[@mikeziegler8988]

Do not worry Pete construction looks great. I hope your building in enough room for me😊too! Winter in Illinois USA makes me love your boat even more imaging the is water becking. You've been land locked so so long your likely growing roots. Question how on earth have you afforded the cost of this boat, this fantastic boat. Or are you planning to set sail before the bills land onto you? When are you planning to splash the boat? All quality 🎉. Your the CAPTAIN mate.

[@kjelhafso5198]

I’m more excited for this than the wynns hh44!

[@dannywhite8057]

Hay hay its Saturday. 🤣 Plucky Awesome stuff bro. 🤙

[@dc1544]

Can you imagine all the power needed to weld at the same time like they are. Think if they had solar on the roof and batteries. Would pay for itself fast.

[@srowlings5946]

Steady as she goes Captain......

[@Ibh111142]

Better start ordering the fenders Plukky
