FIRST LOOKS at the Max Cruise 44 ft Sailing Catamaran (MJ Sailing - Ep 240)

[@gonewiththewynns]

That galley is going to be a dream! So excited for you both to be on such a unique adventure of building your home. The first-hand experience at the factory must be giving you all sorts of extra confidence.

[@MJSailing]

I actually thought of you two when going through that galley - I was like "Now I can cook some of the amazing things I see Nikki and Jason make!". Having the chance to go through the yard was amazing, and has been invaluable bringing that information back to our own build. Good luck on your new HH44, and we'll have to share an anchorage and drinks sometime. 🥰🌊

[@1hornet1]

My favorite part is the shelf in the forward guest berth by the escape hatch. I can't believe Matt closed that area up. 😂

[@svZia-Switch51]

Love the Rex. Visited there in 1993.

[@MJSailing]

I think we'll have to go back again on our next visit. 😃👍

[@20luzer52]

I lived and worked in VN from 2002-2012 and really enjoyed working with the Vietnamese there. Very smart, creative and hard working and loved how they balanced that with their personal family need. Even back then, I had heard "rumors" of boat making becoming a thing in Vietnam but I had not idea or interest in boats. I'm seeing recent developments in this sector and the Song Thu company in Da Nang and how it is a very well run operation, even by Holland standard. I guess this is a different company in HCMC and seems like their work quality is meeting your expectation. I hope you enjoyed your trip to VN and happy with what you're seeing with your catamaran. Thank you for taking the time to do these videos as I know it takes a lot of time and energy to film and edit. I hope you will arrange to do the South to North trip, via the Vietnam coast line. That should be an epic trip.

[@davidfarning8246]

I had to laugh at Mat trying to learn from the guy doing the gel coating... Spay coating anything is a skill that looks so simple but take thousands of hours to learn to do well. :) I particularly like how he measured. A scoop of stuff and a couple of dollops of catalyst until it looks and feels right.

[@IEnigIMa]

Man, what a beauty! With all your hard work, you guys will probably beat the splashdown of La Vagabonde’s Tri. I have a suspicion that it will look even better than hull 4😉🤟🏻. I can only imagine the pride and jubilation of building your own custom cat and watching it hit the water for the first time😂😄🙏🏻. What an amazing accomplishment when you get there. What a great couple living your best lives🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@bkackman]

Great tour of the boat to get a feel for the spacing and arrangement. Terrific opportunity to get expert tips on the construction techniques. The shots of Saigon from the bars was beautiful. Thank you.

[@karlfair]

Looking good, you guys are going to have a ton of space. Funny, but I always think of Saigon in black and white. It must be from TV during the war. It's nice to see it so lively and vibrant.

[@MJSailing]

It was a great city when we saw it in 2007, and it has only expanded and become more modern. We really really enjoyed our visit there. 🥰

[@clayfarnet970]

I’ve never seen anyone spray paint that way without runs. Great job. 👍👍👍

[@tomcoon9038]

My thoughts exactly! I was horrified watching. Never lets off the trigger for the turn back.

[@ronaldwarren5220]

The very best thing though is that you don't have to worry about someone tossing a grenade into the dining area. In 1968 I had to guard the vehicle we drove to Saigon in while the Major I was with was having a steam bath. The VC had a habit of putting a grenade into your fuel tank with a rubber band wrapped around the spoon. At some time the rubber band would decay, the spoon would flip off and BOOM! Eventually most of our vehicles had a metal cross piece welded in to the fuel fill opening so that a grenade could not be placed into the tank. The openings of the fuel filler were not like today - they were much larger to fit military style nozzles.

[@woghole2360]

That was awesome to watch it answer some of my questions. That galley size is just amazing. Thanks for sharing.

[@YahooMurray]

I was in Saigon (TSN Air Base) in 1971 - but did not make it to the Rex Hotel until my trip back in 2018 before China flu stuck the world. The officers and "journalists" enjoyed watching the Vietnam war from the bar at the top of the Rex Hotel.

I'm not sure I could resist getting up in the am and NOT going out on the balcony.....and yelling GOOOOOOD MOOORNING V E I T N A M ! ! I would of thought they would lay a strip of double bias along the overlap before truing , but now that I think of it , it is already overlapped and glued by 3-4 inches.

Order a flexible sanding “board” which is really very flexible steel, they even come with vacuum connection to catch the dust. See Mas’ channel SailLife he used one when fairing the sides of his boat…

@@MJSailing pls look into detoxing your body from all the building supply toxins. Paint for instance is highly toxic to the liver so is all the other products you guys are using. I see you guys are looking tired (not just this vid) and this is a sign that you have toxins built up in the body & liver. Lookup the following yt chan vids: Dr Mindy pelz = how to detox your liver & body Dr Berg (same) Eric Bakker naturopath = how to detox your liver and kidney. If you do detox your body then take a few days off because as you move toxicans out you dont aways feel so well. Interesting video. take care.

For some reason I thought Saigon had been renamed. Hard to believe the change, which is great, but at what cost to all involved. It doesn't seem that long ago I would look at the photos coming through each night from AP and UPI in our newsroom of the day's events. If only we had more foresight. Still glad for the change. Finally most importantly the images of the sample boat look great and looking forward to the day yours makes its first splash. Take care.

[@catherinehammond4785]

I liked the large drop down table. Really good for passage making. We never slept in the hulls on passage, always on various places on the bridge deck.

[@philsaunter1956]

I do like the bamboo veneer, but overall a bit too much gelcoat surface inside for me. Personally I'd sacrifice a bit of performance for some different textures and colors.

[@jamarie1972]

What a fantastic trip, seeing hull 4 an added bonus. Nice to have a few tips from the professionals on how to apply gel coats etc etc. Its huge so much space you won’t know yourselves. Happy 4th July 🇺🇸 to you all over the pond from us this side 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

The induction cooker has no guard rails to lock in pots during ocean crossings, unless you plan on eating sandwiches all the way across the Pacific Ocean.

[@gregormiller4037]

MMMMMM sandwiches says Homer😎

[@SteinVarjord]

Cats have a lot less motion, so it’s frequently possible to cook without guard rails. However, there are certainly times when rails or similar are absolutely necessary. Then there’s a much better solution: I thin mat of silicone rubber over the whole stove top. The induction energy easily can pass through the silicone rubber. Works super well.

[@fairwinds9630]

if you look closely it has teh silicon mat on teh cook top

[@methosmomomax7470]

I might go with a clothes washer or find another way of keeping clothes clean while at sea.

[@MJSailing]

From hull #6 forward, each boat has a washer located in the master head.

[@anthonyrondolino8148]

With the four flat main windows in the front of the main cabin segmented by those smaller opening port surrounds I wonder about investing in completely one piece opening units like the HH44…..or even considerably larger opening hatches that nearly do the same job of providing more airflow when open and less interruption to visibility when shut.

[@mkllove]

Really nice for us to see a finished design of what you're building toward... will you two be offering your learned lessons to other builders following in your footsteps ? Maybe be brand ambassadors for MC at various boatshows ?

[@projetsterna]

Thank you so much to share your project with us. I have the project of building an aluminium sailboat in some years and I appreciate all the details you give us. Question for you: at the beginnings of your project, you shared the budget of the building. Can you tell us an update on this. Again thank you from Quebec, Canada!

[@comeandtravel1]

Looks like a great trip to HCMC. The bar you were at was the most expensive I have ever seen in Vietnam. $11 dollars for a cocktail is crazy expensive in Vietnam when you could have walked down the street and gotten it for $3-4 at the most. And the Soai Rap river is full of debris...on my way by ferry from HCMC to Vung Tao I saw floating barges of vegetation and huge trees floating down it!

[@MJSailing]

We only had one drink at Rex's, and it was recommended by a friend for the atmosphere and views. The other sky bars we were at had beers for around $2, which was the typical price we were paying there. But it's always fun to splurge every once in awhile, when their higher end bar is still within budget. 🙂🍹

[@SVSecondChance]

Remember that if you need to you can wet sand and buff the jell coat so its not to bad. Just Don't run it because there hard to get flat.

[@Tenright77]

I'm surprised they didn't offer to let you join the Delivery Crew to sail #4 to the U.S. would've been a time value decision, but quite an opportunity... Thanks for sharing...

[@MJSailing]

We couldn't take the time away from our build to join, as much as we'd like. But since they're trying to get it directly to Annapolis for the fall show,we might hop on somewhere on the East Coast and bring it the rest of the way. 😃

[@bladerunner6282]

looks like typical dry-wall seaming sealing technique.

[@Cubamara]

Looks easy? Multiple thin coats of gelcoat is a pain in the ass. The finished boat looks fantastic.

[@berinslaptop]

Patching a seam: what was shown is not bad but there are different aspects for methods of progress. As to spraying thin coats. hehe thats awl-grip. gel-coat has a thing called an oxide layer. Wax stops the oxide layer but must be removed for additinal thickness build up. And same with un-waxed gel the oxide layer must be removed with acetone and sanded before more gel build up is added. Aligation is an other aspect to becareful. An ideal blend has a fiberglass job that requires a very shallow fairing (patch paste). Patch paste should always be as thin as possible, cabosil laced gel-coat (patch paste peanut butter thick) is more likely to have long turn naturally occuring spider cracks. An other option is to use a "pin coat", a pin coat uses much less cabosil your looking for a honey thick consistency (like brushable gel just a touch thicker). Brush it onto/into the patch seam and heavy. Then run a straight edge to scrape away the excess and level the surface. as soon as that task is done SPRAY gel-coat on top. NO TIME GAPS period or you risk aligation. Pincoats are really good on hand layups that have a lot of micro air bubbles exposed from sanding. Brush it in hard dont roll then straight edge to level. the biggest problem with gelcoat is that oxide layer. The oxide layer is thick very thick, and that is why its better to apply un-waxed filler and spray with a waxed gel back to back. If you do not have blue-die you can always take a black BLACK sharpy pull it apart with plyers. Pull out the inkwell inside slice it open with a blade and drop it into a pint of aceton NOT alcohol. You then have blue-dye. Always do finish sanding from low grit-3000 grit using blue-dye at each stage (grit level 120-220-400-1000-2000). As soon as the dye is gone STOP sanding. Its best to blue dye sand using the half step over method and left to right or bottom to top. YES BOTTOM TO TOP, if sanding top to bottom the escaping dust gets onto the work surface below that has not been sanded yet and deposits spent grit. When changing grits clean the surface real well. spent grit can leave scratches when moving to a higher sand paper grit if it gets under the sander.

[@berinslaptop]

An other GEL spraying trick, CURL masking tape at the outside edges of the spray job. This helps make a feathered edge rather then a hard tape line. And that makes its easier to sand out to finish.

[@bubbleobill267]

Mmmmmm, torture board!.

[@eb1888.]

A BIG part of the blend will be having their actual gelcoat. For the color match of the white it'll be critical. Bring a couple gallons home.

[@MJSailing]

We actually just sent a sample of the gelcoat from our boat out to get matched. Once we have that in we can begin more projects like the remainder of our flush deck hatches, and making molds for the master shower.

[@eb1888.]

@@MJSailing Do a check to verify the match out in sunlight. Best of luck. Parlay got a good match for their swim platform extensions. When I watched the worker in this video not have concern. It's all because he can use the exact matching material.

How are you dealing with the differences in the safety precautions takin in VN as opposed to the safety precautions you are going to take back in MD? Do you think that the lack of 'precise' weight/volume measurements of the base materials and catalysts affect the quality of their build? Are you going to adapt their way of measuring the compounds?

[@kevinfisher1345]

I would not really call that a lack of precise measurements. It is much the same with expert chefs who do not need to use a measuring device as they know how much by simply doing it all the time. Plus you really should be adapting to current atmospheric conditions, so it is actually better to adjust accordingly. Not go off of one ideal precise measurement, as that does not allow for the precise atmospheric conditions at that moment. They are experts and know what consistency they need and how much per the current weather. I would question someone that uses a set so called precise volume measurement regardless of what the weather is like.

[@rushd45]

@@kevinfisher1345 Great! thanks for making my point in a more general way. It still doesn't answer my question of how they are going to measure and do PPE when they return to MD.

[@MJSailing]

It's a weight consideration and may performance boats will not do full finishes for the interior of cabinets because of the extra and unnecessary weight it ads. Dazcats are a good example of this. Very expensive and high performance racers - and the interior walls and overhead have no fairing. Just paint over the fiberglass and tape.
