Ep. 15 Performance Catamaran Build - A tricky bit of shell plate

Become a patron, / elcanoworldchallenge
If you want more information on the Odisea 48, 55 or 62 then send an email to [e-mail]
The boat build is in full swing....and I am still worried about sponsors though. I have sent one of my fans off to Dusseldorf Boat Show to create some opportunities, so let's see what happens.
The Odisea 48 from Odisea Catamarans has just started to get built in Vietnam. The design is complete, the paperwork has been done and now the factory has had 4 days to start the job and they are welding like madmen. Finally the wait is over, the Elcano World Challenge will begin in 2024 people.
If you would like to help the project along then become a patron and get access to exclusive content.

I can see a trip to Vietnam in my future, to see about my new cat. 🤪My old one died. 😪

[@More_Row]

Does that mean what I think it means?

[@pleclerc1]

It's interesting to see the bending process, had no idea that's how it was done.

[@dennispatrick4999]

Just like the original handmade Ferraris, Jaguars, Austin Martins.

[@comfortablynumb9342]

​@@dennispatrick4999my uncle worked in a high end body shop and he was sent to England for 2 weeks to learn to run the wheel and other English tools because the owner in the States was English and had the machines. He had to go over there so he could learn to make a trunk lid for a very rare Ferrari out of aluminum. Ferrari wouldn't do it. My uncle was a machinist and he learned the wheel just for that job, but he used it a lot afterwards too. I can't imagine how much the owner of the car paid for that deck lid.

[@wavehunta]

Yeah. I bought a 46 ft Easton and never had a clue of the handmade aspect of the Aluminium Construction ❤

[@More_Row]

How do you know they did it the same way though? @@wavehunta

[@donthomas8724]

Those rolling devices are common in sheet metal work. Used all over the world.

[@jackross2332]

I reckon this aluminum catamaran sailboat will be the strongest built sailboat on the ocean!!! The quality of the workmanship is truly impressive. I hope and pray your documentation of this build opens this company to new opportunities in their marketplace. They are worthy of the highest praise so far. Well done Mate.

[@EdHelwig]

You are going to have yourself a top quality boat when that is done Plukky.

[@michaelhicks3909]

Only the best people ! Only the best ! 😂😂😂😂😂

[@3AdamAnt]

Going awesome. Was a little worried not hearing from you for a day or two there…. You’ll be wondering what to do with a fridge on board in no time!

[@schmidtfjs]

I just want to point out all that WONDERFUL space available on those hulls, mast, and boom to put corporate sponsorship logos. Can you imagine the return on investment given that this boat is likely to be seen by just about every catamaran enthusiast across the planet, regardless of their boat purchasing plans -- this is, for me, the foil on which a lot of trusted sailing technology and emerging sailing technology will show off it's value most impressively.

[@angela1984a]

A boat that sails in light winds is a good boat.

[@capttom7772]

@angela, ... where HAIL YE?

[@darrengladstone3159]

There are plenty of old heavy full keel boats that have done laps around the world happily. Its all compromises and fitting the task.

[@avpinstarter]

A boat that does'nt sink is a good boat

[@captainsensible298]

I've never seen an ally yacht built from full-size sheets of 4mm 5083, they've always been built with the width of the sheet for and aft rather than the length. Pretty cool.

[@Day_Tripper39]

I watched a video on another channel last week. There's a couple refitting a mono hull sailboat. And one of there projects is to put oars on the boat so they can row the boat.

[@philpot3478]

That aluminum hull truly is a work of art.

[@thomasg1323]

Amazing craftsmanship. Looking fantastic. 🎉🎉🎉

[@themadjedi2488]

Ahhhh I can get my fix now, good stuff Plucky

[@charleshagman5025]

The build is coming along nicely. Looking more like a boat every week.

Flat out like a lizard drinking there Plucky, just keeping up with the progress on camera, these guys are really on top of their game cheers mate

Hope them welds hold plukky if they let go someone could lose an eye mate great progress can almost taste them pineapples again I hope Lisa is keeping tabs on your progress

This crew makes some aluminum envying. The curves make such a strong and beautiful hull. Even better than the admirable start that evolved into ODC.

[@gcrauwels941]

You keep rubbin' that hull like that and we're going to have to change your nickname to Aladdin. LOL! No Genie comin' out of it! In any event, she is shaping up to be a beautiful vessel. Our acronym for BDs was CHs. You know. lol Great stuff brother. Loving the build.

20 min KZbin video and followed 10min live chat with Q&A video then live chat. Greatness People!!

[@williamstreet4304]

Plukky, I'm going to be in Jakarta late this month accompanying my daughter for a couple of speaking engagements. But I haven't been able to carve out time to travel to Viet Nam or Malaysia. I would love to meet with you and the build and view a Maramu for sale in Malaysia. I'll work on it. Great stuff on the build.

[@Cptnbond]

Great choice of brand, Kemppi, for the welding machines when it comes to aluminum. From Finland with love. Cheers.

[@RockDodger]

This is frigging awesome Plucky. I’m so bloody stoked for you. If ever a KZbin sailor deserved a break it is definitely you mate. You’re in your element in that factory and have made life long friends with the builders. Nothing but quality!

[@evanlewis5347]

Glad you are back!!

[@melinda5777]

Great video, Cap'n Plukky!!! It was worth the wait!!! ✝️🙏❤️🇺🇸⛵️👣🍍😊

[@leadreviewer3257]

Its looking great nicely done

[@mk-jf1ux]

I remember seeing breach loader power slip roller roll fustrums and over roll the curve 1% . clings to frames and you lower weight onto boat jacks to press that final midbelly weld tight. sombody else used 18” alu pipe as bottoms

[@ASDPOWER]

Looking bloody good mate. I reckon you could drive that straight over a reef and not even notice it!!!!

[@andrewbradnan]

Don’t give him any ideas…

[@JulianJacobs100]

Amazing the speed at which it is going.👍💪⛵️😎

[@user-rs2ue3rs7y]

is that jacket, one of them are wearing, a cooling garment, it looks like it's puffy as if it has a fan in it using those black disc's as vents.

[@waynereiffenstein7153]

This is the most awesomest thing I've watched on my tablet, since I watched Taylor Swift win the Superbowl yesterday. Very skookum progress there, Plukky! Cheers again from 🇨🇦

[@gedfi]

While I truly admire the curves you often shoot under water, I must say that watching these curves getting eased into place is strangely fascinating. Incredible work by the crew here! Your expression when stroking the hull - priceless.

[@TRAVIS-L]

I need a couple patrons 😅 to get my transmission fixed on my car 😂

[@davidpeck8351]

You gotta love the perfection that these guys are going for. Well, nothing is to good for Plucky!

[@johnmaliskey7951]

I enjoy watching different builds like Tally Ho; Arabella; Ciba and Ran 2 for the wooden side then.......... M.J. and Ruby Rose for the fiberglass build then .............Parlay; Odd; Kika and Dan ; Knuckle headed David for the fixer-uppers and then YOU big boay. All AL-U-MIN-UM put together from the start is something I look forward to watching. Seeing a completed vs a build gets one an appreciation of the skills involved.......... enjoy Carry on ya mad bastard ......................

Panu from Arctic SeaCamel is sure to appeal to you too.

[@MsMixd]

Launch day is getting closer and closer. Can't wait. Will those ladies join you?

[@KennyP88]

Top stuff Plukky, pretty obvious now why so many aluminum boats are hard chine. Feeling that fairness of the hull must give you a little rise in the privates. 😛 You keep rubbing that hull, you're going to go blind. 😂😂

[@jlmbradshaw3619]

I am always amazed by the drive for perfection by your builders.

[@jonathanvince8173]

This is amazing what a Fantastic team to build a new type of Boat no one has done yet.

[@dancarter482]

What's "New" about any of it??

[@billydaniel900]

👍

[@johnmiglautsch4587]

seems very labor intensive - haven't watched a fiberglass build of this size or scope so don't know how to compare the two. Would be interested in your comparison thoughts.

[@SAILINGintoFREEDOM]

Easier with a mould

[@braithmiller]

I have seen some composite spending even more time. Effective work matters.

[@johnmiglautsch4587]

Thanks Plucky, So if you're making a lot of them the mold is faster but initially you have to make a mould - but I'd guess there will be some economies of scale with the aluminum also (they will get better)@@SAILINGintoFREEDOM

[@brentpenfold1795]

… “Only two boats in a big factory? Soon the factory will be full of OCD 48s, OCD 55s and OCD 62s” … Great news and congratulations Peter to yourself, Odisea, Adonis and Ba Son. It looks like we’re witnessing the development of a viable commercial aluminium catamaran production facility. A facility that will produce a cat. that may just come to dominate the "safest, fastest and best value" category out there. I can imagine your documentation of the whole build process, along with design insights and comparison between competing build materials may have many current glass cat. customers reconsidering their preferred boat. So pleased for yourself, Odisea and Ba Son. :o))

[@matt_kildea]

Any idea what the final weight will be?

Loving this build series Peter.

[@user-hw5ow9zr7q]

Nice video once again! Incredible strength in the bow section, I feel sorry for any yacht you accidently "ram" I mean bump in to... Great work with sheeting the skin of the hull, it's hard to guage thickness but I'd guess that's 8mm sheet with stringers every 20cm, very strong indeed! As always, looking forward to your next edition! Well done, and thank you! 😄

[@timshimmin3468]

Nothing but quality peepole....I'm another one fascinated by the build and delighted you have such access to the process...

[@comfortablynumb9342]

[@nooneanybodyknows7912]

Over time, the abundance of noise will damage your hearing. Please use precautionary measures to prevent. Once its gone there's no getting it back. 🦻 Sailing Nahoa is building an aluminum cat. They plan to start their second circumnavigation soon into the Pacific to be closer to the build location. Aluminum builds are interesting. Thanks for sharing.

[@mattdyson6144]

Great footage.

[@hroper5964]

Top stuff Peter. I wonder if one day humans could 3D print boats out of steel, aluminum or titanium. We would have far less welding and cutting/fitting. Boat would be far cheaper to build...and faster completion time. You would make a fortune.

[@SAILINGintoFREEDOM]

The problem is some of the strength of the materials comes from the working of them into plate

[@timshimmin3468]

...@1.43...dead right it is a work of art. Can't wait to see what it looks like in the water. Excited to find out what mast and rigging you have chosen. Mebbe get a tux plucky and just swan around the swanky boat shows for a bit at first..before you start denting her....

The move to aluminium for multihulls and monohulls is interesting several boat have been planned. I wonder how this may change the general boat building market in the future with all the advantages and disadvantages of aluminium vs fiberglass.

[@michelbedos9371]

Question: I am sure you have heard in the past, especially the Olympics, where swimmers wore swimsutes with the out layer is live a shark's skin. This gave the swimmers an unfare advantage and were prohibited. There are other applications when this type of finishing texture was used. Food for thought: have you looked into the possibility of using this on the exterior hull of the new Cat?

[@SAILINGintoFREEDOM]

No

[@pnr9730]

Wow awesome 🎉

[@Zorgongola]

Loving the videos, great work

[@lolawilson5817]

another enjoyable video!

[@eamonncoady9823]

Id charge people to rub her bottom , under supervision of course. Seems a long way from the night you went for a midnight dip with the epoxy putty and plastic bag . The night of the static electric perm and loose stools. These are great videos for somebody with an Odisea on their wish list. Its a comprehensive view of the detail, strength and craftsmanship that i dont think is available from any other builder. I think that when a man has gotten to a stage where he can afford a boat like this , he bloody well wont take anyones word that its well built. Just look at the lagoon 44 s and the toor a lee Colin caused when he highlighted the structural decay on his. Remember James off hawaii and the rachet straps holding body and soul together. Confidence in ones boat is not to be undersold . When youre caught out and youre asking yourself the hard questions, is she up to this, will she take care of me if i take care of her , Jesus i should have put a second jubilee clip on the raw water intake for the heads. Its a big deal when it happens.
