You need to convince the Delos guys to build their boat with your team

[@hthring]

for sure, i gave plucky a plug in the comments of thier last vid. thing is, i think they are looking forward to taking 5 years of sailing to live on land and build it themselves 😂

[@ChrisHarding-lk3jj]

Hopefully they have that guy in Australia build it for them because his work is the best work I have ever seen on an aluminum catamaran. He is tig welding the exterior skin because it's a better and cleaner process.

[@svtinker]

@@ChrisHarding-lk3jj I need more info for comparison?

[@californiakayaker]

I think Delos was using stainless ? They may not do that ?

[@hthring]

@@californiakayaker no alum

[@melinda5777]

Oh, Cap'n Plukky!! This build is almost beyond belief!! The quality of workmanship going into this boat is awesome! These guys work like ants! Amazing! I'm really enjoying this. This video is one of the best!!❤❤❤ I hope you get to feeling 💯 percent soon! Thanks for showing the market! Hey, I've seen one of them chicken de-feather machines. They're the best thing since sliced bread!! You don't have to sit there and pluck all them feathers!! I was going to say something awful about Cats & Dogs at the market, 🤣🤣, I bet you can guess!! Terrible of me, but just all in fun. Thank You for this one!! Quality People, Top Stuff!! ✝️🙏❤️🇺🇸🇦🇺⛵️👣🍍🍍😊

[@philthomas6123]

I am a long time viewer and a KICKSTARTER contributor and I am sooooooo excited to see 1 year from now. Peter the videos of the build are fantastic and despite the delays overall I think this channel is waay ahead..... Keep it up!!!

[@billyjames7735]

Interesting to see the different culture. The build is coming right along. I believe you are going to conquer this challenge Plukky.

[@jamesgordon2289]

"it's a veritable orgy of love for my boat" and " Lots of love from both ends, I think there is a term for that" were the highlights this week

[@SAILINGintoFREEDOM]

Shhhhh... you weren't supposed to pick up on anything

[@clivestainlesssteelwomble7665]

Speaking of which ... i left Glandular fever of the possible diseases list ... have you been getting close to those two local ladies.. or sharing cutlery🤔😂

[@themadjedi2488]

The build is going faster than a Canary with a rocket up it's arse man, so impressive

[@DanvilleTrain888]

A Canary with a rocket up it's arse? That little bugger must be movin! 🤣

[@julianshalders6047]

Incredible filming of the market, Vietnamese people are very friendly, so much variety of goodies people 😂👍🙏.

[@stevecrombie5357]

Amazing progress on the superstructure. That seemed to happen so quickly. They start slapping the skin on that baby and it's gonna look ready to go. Thanks Peter. Hope you feel well soon.

[@ebutuoyotwen]

She be looking sleek & true, eager to turn to weather and run hard for you. Keep your eyes to the horizon, steady hand on the wheel, as you and mother nature take this mistress named Freedom to ends of what's real. Cheers mate, she looks great!

[@JCGible]

The engineering that went into the ship is mind-boggling. Its amazing how much work is involved and How well the build is orchestrated. ❤

[@hthring]

i know, to build just the 3d model once the concept has been devised...

[@smc4563]

A different world indeed Peter.

[@aaronwilcox6417]

This is an incredible project. Im so happy for you that your experiencing the people and local culture and the build project.

[@jimmuller3382]

Pluckers unleashing his inner Freddy wasn’t what I would have thought. Hope it never happens again. In all other respects top quality m8.

[@sailinghappy9]

We loved the entrance with this lively celebration and Plukky Rock on vocals. Here in Brazil we also love karaoke.❤❤❤

[@richard9316]

Can't wait to see this baby in the water

[@randalltapp8944]

you must be fizz'n at the bung to have her in the water and sailing mate. So very happy for you.

[@robertlaird6746]

It's amazing watching them build. You have got to be very happy about all of this.

[@kimphilley621]

She's coming along nicely. Voting to be a hell of a boat. You have come a long way your self.

[@CraigOverend]

I was just reading about a student in Khanh Hoa Vietnam that died of H5N1 bird flu after a fever and cough after they went wild bird trapping... and wondered why I hadn't seen a video from Plukky and thought maybe you'd been off wild bird trapping too. Glad it's just because you're bored of making videos. We can wait.

[@julianshalders6047]

The boys know how to put on a good piss up plukky 😂, boat build all going mate👍🙏.

[@comfortablynumb9342]

Plukky I can't believe you didn't sing the Land Down Under for the Tet party 😉 The boat is incredible, I can't believe how fast they are. Amazing. It will be great to see you fit her out and sail her. Buena suerte, cuídate mucho amigo.

[@Why2why]

You should go back with a bunch of flowers 💐 for each worker and tell them how happy you are with there QUALITY PEOPLE love it can't wait to be put of the crew

[@tim31736]

Love it, Love it, Love it!!!

[@davidpeck8351]

I've been the smallest guy on the crew and forced into tiny spaces go "Team tiny!" we rule!

[@paulbrown2971]

Looks like one strong catamaran!

[@kristaready8812]

Wow, the boat build is really coming along well! Loved the bit in the market (good to see local life). Hope you're feeling at your best soon. 🤗💞

[@maxfacts1]

It sure is looking good in the high performance catamaran boatbuilding neighborhood.

[@capttom7772]

‼‼PLUKKY‼‼ @1:00 in you had me in "STITCHES"❗BRO⁉R U SUNBURNED⁉I haven't been able to keep up with the "BUILD" ... computer & phone are both givin me "GRIEF" ... just starting to get it sorted. That piece you were "TESTING" would be great for about 4 ~ 5 scrap pieces for us "PLANK HOLDERS"⁉... Last ... ... but by far, not "LEAST"; ... ... your personal "HYGIENE"... I thought I could smell something🤔🤣😂jk

[@VonBluesman]

Plukky you’re right, y’all are family. Hopefully when the project is finished the crew can film more projects. I wonder what kind & size of boat they could build for $100,000 or if that’s a real dumb question 😱😂👍✌️

[@timshimmin3468]

Gosh..we are really enjoying the build. Such a beautiful yacht and we feel seeing it assembled bit by bit is like watching a piece of artwork being created. Also your inclusion and cultural references to the amazing workforce is giving us great hope for the future.What wonderful people peepol.❤❤

[@moelnaghi3714]

Keep it up bro 💪🏽

[@garenkarapetian709]

Two things that would make this cat super-awesome are: A) if the aft wall was to become a swing-out swim-platform. That could also double as a dinghy holder. B) if there was a swing-down ladder on the bow so you could just climb down onto the beach or shallow waters. Both items are still doable - it's not too late.

[@SAILINGintoFREEDOM]

Maybe buy a lagoon and sail at 4 knots around the world

[@dermos9928]

This is awesome. These guys are making great time.

[@leadreviewer3257]

Great video the boats looking awesome

[@pleclerc1]

It's looking good Plukky!

[@eamonncoady9823]

These build videos are adding enormous value to the Odisea brand. That malingering dose needs a purge with whiskey. Irish whiskey the water of life. Pickle the Blood kill or cure Follow that with copious amounts of live yogurt. Its pretty agricultural but it works.

[@williesful]

Ahhhh so good seeing the build and the every day life where you are, overall so far looks like a brilliant experience. Maybe not getting sick bit lol

[@jasonlockhart4647]

Look like you're having fun Plucky

[@JagLite]

Excellent progress. That's the way to build a boat, with a full team of skilled workers inside a building with all the tools. By yourself it would take forever... plus 10 years. There are many reasons aluminum is not more popular as a boat building material. Among them is noise, temperature conduction (cold and hot), labor intense construction ($$), etc. But every boat building material has pro's and con's.

[@robertplumer]

Living the dream for the perfect cat. Good on you mate!

[@scottymac101]

I have to agree about the women, even though I'm married to a Thai girl and they work hard, I was in a boat in Vietnam and the lady standing at the back of the boat paddling with the two oars, up a creek against the wind...oh my god did she did work hard!!

[@johnmiglautsch4587]

I follow Sailing Jupiter and a while back they went back to where their aluminum cat was built. It is an understatement to say that it looked nothing like the high tech systems here. What I wonder is, how do they build something comparable out in a jungle? And if it is not comparable, how does this build vary from Jupiter?

[@Trevwhitesailing]

I agree Plukky, Alloy is an outstanding material for sailing safely. Last year in Fiji a beautiful plastic Catamarran hit a reef transiting from Tonga to Fiji, it was torn to pieces and sunk. Thankfully the crew survived. I met three yachts that hit reefs one under full sail. All of the plastic boats had to be hauled out and repaired. I had my own little touch-up with a poorly charted reef in bad light, I Only have a few deep scratches. It's why I own an alloy yacht. You are on the money, and the build is fast.

[@SAILINGintoFREEDOM]

Woohoo

[@SAILINGintoFREEDOM]

Thanks for the comment my friend. Once you go alloy there's no going back

[@adventurebound2923]

Way to go pluk! Happy to see progress!! can't wait for the next phase!

[@michelbedos9371]

You c an sing! So many talents. Another 100 days to go. There sure are a great many small parts to weld. In the end it will be one very well built catamaran you can take around the world! Keep it up.

[@Ukisceptic]

Woah these guys are progressing incredibly. One of ya best blogs yet. Loved seeing the local town at end of engineering. Nice one Plucky

[@dclements54]

Watching these videos, hard to imagine how the mumbys ever got built. Hulls # 3 & 4, these guys are on a roll.

[@johnmajewski1065]

I was very worried you looked close to death warmed over look after yourself, I'm very Impressive, care, skill, and speed,

[@deanisaacs525]

A lot of thought and work getting the bow welded. Could bring all the structure back to the first rib and bolt/adhere a sacrificial alloy or composite bow. Would loose a bit of length for rigging but good for manufacturing and small impacts.

[@ckfpv]

Wow Plucky this boats really taking shape and its really awesome cant wait to see it finished i remember ,sailing lavagabon had thetes built seemed like it took forever but there sailing it now yours is gonna be much bigger and nicer

[@RuneSorensen404]

Wow, Plukky. Congrats on the speed-build! Imagine if this was done before the computer-age.Those drawings getting lit on fire would have been a disaster. :)

[@lebonfrago3800]

The boat is coming together so fast! It is a marvel to see. I would love to have a little tour with some details after hours, so you could speak about the build peacefully... wishful thinking maybe, but it would be nice. Great work to the whole team!

[@deanostevenson9238]

What a beautiful design, and good building design, strong

[@KarlKarsnark]

Amazing. This is really more like aircraft manufacturing. Very cool stuff.

[@MsMixd]

Looking really good.

[@seagirl1100]

Voting for Vietnam girl crew. Hard working Ladies! ⛵️

[@Jonny_The_Organism]

You lot are the champions of the lettuce party!😂

[@hamishesslemont3705]

Great to see the progress Plukky !😊👍

[@obwan7217]

She's going to be a beast..

[@Deakonfoto]

Going to be amazing to see it in the water!!

[@toddgroh]

Looking great Plukky!

[@wangofree]

Busy, busy, busy. Looks fantastic!

[@medicmcauley6729]

Top notch stuff right there, the attention to detail is amazing

[@rayb226]

Starting to come into shape looking fantastic. 😊

[@TammyBillings-qt1ve]

Wow incredible

Amazing progress with the build. The crew ia awesome. Thanks for update

[@timothymarcotte7760]

Boat looks awesome , good luck

[@robertbuckley3582]

I enjoy the views of life in Vietnam as well as the boat build

[@johncammarota9984]

Thanks for the market scenes

[@gcrauwels941]

Really taking shape.

[@trevhedges]

Cheers mate!

[@srowlings5946]

Looking great Plukky!!

[@angela1984a]

An Elcano Challenge multi is taking shape.

[@ianh2674]

great video Peter, awesome new progress on the boat and like the mix with the boat and a bit on life outside of the build.

[@jhsrecordsentertainment4972]

Those guys a crazy, efficently awesome.. I am amazed with each episode Plucky. Hugsss

[@nobigbang]

Good one Plucky, you're showing all the critics how to get things done. 👍 Though I don't agree with the recent electric propulsion hype but you gotta do what you gotta do. Make sure to build in big enough hatches to drop the diesels in later 😎

[@SAILINGintoFREEDOM]

Done

[@mikemiklaucic9414]

Plucky love this boat build, but I would enjoy more video of the people and lifestyle of Vietnam.

[@braithmiller]

The best work. Hopefully you don't need to keep that small guy with you.❤

[@leevallance6854]

So happy for you, regards from Western. Australia

[@alejandrovanags4948]

Hello Plucky. Good progress keep it up!

[@user-fd4pt5nb3v]

Great job hats off to you n the crew great video keep them coming Jeff the Navy vet

[@ruggedindividual]

Pretty darned amazing...!

[@rudyo8409]

Funny , just watched a Delos video. they are looking at a aluminum build boat as well.. Might want to get in touch with them Plucky, advise is always a good thing. Rock on !

[@Wedontwantnowarnomore]

Amazing 😻

[@MrCubflyer]

LOve the boat build but also love the vids of you roaming about town.

[@ronaldleach9899]

❤ ⛵ 👏 looking good !

[@dukedirtywork620]

Interesting place

[@rumbepack]

It look great i really liked the new renders on the website much better looking than the original design.

[@mloret6745]

MARGARITA ARE YOU WATCHING THIS ? PLUCKY has made it big, and you could have been there. Lucky for the PLUCKy, he has somehow plucked it out of the hat!

[@dermos9928]

I find this comment very odd.

[@DanvilleTrain888]

Ahoy Plukky!🏴‍☠ Nice to see the progress of the build. Please do some videos outside of the factory if you can, for a little variety.🏴‍☠

[@andersnilsson6625]

That's what I call a adult puzzle! 🇸🇪😄😀💕

[@kolingro3776]

Supa Impressed

[@chrisr819]

What an incredible build and speed…. Plucky thanks god you don‘t have to earn your money singing :-)

[@ERICWAGNERSLUCID]

Loved breakfast, thank you person

[@albertfunk1176]

Now I've found out why Plukky is in Vietnam; they grow pineapples there :) Great video!

[@jonathanscott550]

Nice one Peter boats coming along very well. Sorry you are still feeling a little under the weather and need to take your lunch time sleep time. These boat workers sure seem to know what they're doing. Yep that sure was a real asian market you were in throw them live chickens in the machine an all in one service. Not for the faint hearted. Looking forward to next video

[@richardtaylor7536]

Hope your feeling well, we miss your up to date Vidoes.

[@yankeepirate8927]

I haven't checked in with Plucky; figured I'd give him a month or three to work on his boat get used to the grind and then get his butt back to sea. I had mused that I'd build a FAT CAT; two monohulls side by side, and with a winter storm sinking a jewel off my bow on me birthday it appears my luck may find a rising tide. Wish me luck old salts! We can race for beers with 150sqM of sail I have no fear. While I know I won't win I'll still have a shit eating grin, building this beast real nice for the humble price of a box of Tanqueray gin.

[@eddiemasson300]

These are great videos plukky. Boat build is fantastic. Your lungs are going to need some training when you get back on the water for some free diving. Keep it going. Looking forward to the next video.
