HUGE PROGRESS!! Catamaran transom extension - Part 2

[@ParlayRevival]

There has been a surprising amount of people asking if we are doing both sides. Yes we most certainly are. Just doing 1 at a time as we climb on and off the boat from the transom so need good access on one side at all times.

[@sausage5849]

Oh, I thought a Jacuzzi was going on the other side ;-)

[@jacksbackable]

@@sausage5849 he doesn’t need any encouragement! 😆

[@johnnosprads5883]

Hahahaha too funny.

[@faircompetition1203]

Was just about to ask why you were not doing both sides LOL . Is the mould reusable for side 2 ?

[@sheerluckholmes5468]

Nooo Colin please don't do the other side just leave it like that and have people think you just couldn't be bothered.

[@DavrosSmith]

Fuck I love Jamie’s laugh man 😂 I always crack up when he laughs Such a good dude 😎

Yeah deff a Stan Lee character in those DC movies,he’d be called the giggler,hahahahaha fuckers would be so distracted by the laugh he’d be all over ya pounding sand off ya before ya knew what happened.yeah he’s a bloody legend to keep it together through what these blokes have,lesser mortals would be bongheads and alcoholics by now,being in SA would be another whole different ballgame,fuckers go missing down there.

COLIN I am 12 days off surgery and cant do anything but good news i found your channel. I have been watching your channel and as of now have 81 videos under my belt. My dad always loved sailing and bought a boat to sail the world but it never happened he passed of cancer. i could never understand why he was so in to it. But now i am older and i can see what his dream was. Great channel and keep up the great work. Thanks for memories of dad and his boat.

[@bobstanley195]

Watching you work is like watching an amazing artist! Your vision, design, engineering, craftsmanship... everything is just amazing. And your a heck of a good dude, too. Fast becoming one of my favorite channels and I don't even sail!

[@GRTMXR]

Hey Colin, you guys should wear safety glasses when mixing the catalyst into the resin. I used to build boats and had the catalyst splash into my eyes. It was not fun trying to wash my eyes with acetone. Otherwise nice job adding the platform. Enjoying your journey. Cheers to you guys.

[@smudgedog123]

@burningfeet 53 Eye sea what you did there.

[@timtrinkaus7072]

Another awesome episode Colin and crew!! What an inspiration Jeanne is the 80 year old solo sailer 4x’s around the world now that is living life to the fullest!!! Awesome job helping everyone out!!

[@mannybackman7582]

Good job . You are both an inspiration to people who are stuck in a groove. Jamie cracks me up when he laughs Colin you are the man in this project repair of Parlay. I am not forgetting Jamie's dedication to this project as well. I am waiting for the day you,Jami and Parlay go back too back to sea.

Hi guys! I just want say how much respect I have for Jamie! He is a true friend and sticks beside you 24/7...and he has a laugh that would make anybody who hears it laugh lol!!!! What a trooper. Keep going boys...you have both worked soooooo hard, your work with the glass fiber and all that dust had me holding my breath....what a job. I look forward to setting sail with you folks!!!...albeit from my armchair lol.

This honey core looks like shit.. it’s gonna delaminate.. should ve left it without any core rather than crap.. that’s how I see it

[@derekd1510]

Jesus christ! That boat is gonna be a TANK! You guys are the real DEAL! If I ever get a chance to buy a boat and go sailing, I want to come buddy sail with you guys. The dream team would be Parlay and Delos, but that would be too much to ask for.

[@stevewildman1045]

Awesome work as always. Thanks you 2 guys for sharing the process on the scoops. Former smoker here CONGRATULATING you 2 for quitting.

Im just a little guy from a small town in the uk...an man your making me dream big!

[@ericstanke3291]

In doing stuff like this people need to do what you did, plan it all out, think it all out, know exactly where everything will be before you do anything and then overbuild the hell out of it. Excellent job.

[@ralfretter5674]

22k people seen your post in 1hr 45 minutes, says alot about you. Love your posts. You guys rock.

[@ernestospadolesto8126]

A few years ago I watched a series of shipbuilders here on KZbin. I can still remember that they always inserted a crossed and then a diagonally woven fiberglass mat. They said it reinforces the construction on heavily loaded parts like the boat hull. I don't know how much it amplifies, but it kind of makes sense to me.

[@Edivision]

Looks so good. I was cringing when you were standing on it but you proved how strong it really is. Kudos legends.

[@bill8by5]

The method you've used to install is soooo much more than any marine construction engineer would draw up. I am not amazed how strong it is, but it's not as strong as you think, but it will most definitely serve what you built it for, without question.

[@VIDEOAC3D]

This is soo cool man. Been following you guys since the beginning and can't help but to feel proud of some blokes I don't even know. Lol. I love how you've progressed from just knowing enough to be dangerous. Just enough to get the general repairs done. Now you've evolved to full on bad ass customizations! There's probably 500-1000 sailing ⛵ channels out there on KZbin, but your content is more original and relevant. I know you guys want to get to sailing. But this really is what your channel is about for most people. For instance, Delos even has some cool ASMR sailing content. But in the face of adversity, it's the never gonna give up, try anything attitude, that makes it addictive and inspiring. More mods! Dream it, design it, build it, test it, break it!

[@johannwolf1]

I think I would’ve placed those access hatches on the top deck of the extension therefore not breaching the original integrity of the actual hull and maybe even allowing for storage of dive gear etc.

[@peterfrebold]

.... laughing ..... that's going to be the strongest part of the whole boat ... thx for taking us through the whole process .. impressed with how well the well waxed arborite worked, well done .... the distance shot of the lines sure look good .... way yo keep the crew working .. smilin .. no lunch till this is done ... thx for the peek into your life Colin and Jaimie ..... as always .. never stop dreaming, just dream bigger .. have fun be safe, save our oceans .....

[@goleafsgo8496]

Must feel good to be customizing Parlay making her an even better boat to suit your needs. As opposed to fixing and saving her from an early death. Great job guys, I really think the lines of the boat was calling out for these extensions.

[@sjdennis]

I often do this when I have to fix something. Adding upgraded parts, or features, always makes the price or time invested feel better when you get an upgrade at the end of the day rather than just repaired to it's original state.

[@johnpayne2465]

Life is better when Jamie laughs. Good job lads.

[@lloydr.6271]

Our old cat had extensions, scoops were not yet invented, but similar. When we drilled through ours to fit the cross hull boarding/swim platform it poured salt water for days. But then ours were fixed with large stainless self tappjng screws!!! Could of done with your videos 20 years ago. That said we're planning to use your glassing "lessons" to refit what is probably going to be our last boat before we pop our clogs. Just bought minor shares in the community pub so if you ever sail across Cardigan Bay, give us a shout, there'll be several cold ones waiting on the bar. Cheers guys.

[@recyclesalvage]

It’s nice to see somebody that actually does glass work correctly!

[@socomon69]

Colin and Teal from onboard lifestyle (SV Basik) could go head to head I think.

[@albertepidendio108]

I’ve done a lot of epoxy, polymer, and methyl-methacrylate work, on concrete. Always there was sanding and grinding to do. On job specifically was the new jail in Santa Rosa California around year 2000. The city required us to not make any dust that could fowl the sensitive equipment. We used shrouded 4” grinders connected to a shop vac. 5 seconds of grinding would send dust out the exhaust. By adding a flex hose to the exhaust and connecting to a poly bag, we completely eliminated airborne particles. In your case I would want an air actuated grinder, shrouded.the air grinder is very light, and would make getting in tight spots much easier. There are no foolproof way to do this type of work, but shrouding,vacuuming, and dumping into a poly bag would eliminate at least 95% of you going and sanding dust.

[@MagellanXX]

What a fantastic job so far. The best "self made" sugar scoop solution I've ever seen! Well done guys!

[@gregprider3843]

G Day. Mate a little tip to add more strength to your internal structures when using a honey comb core material. Gouge out the inner core material to about 12mm to 20mm deep leaving the skins intact fill with the glue mixture and let it set sand back flat if needed. I use a soldering iron to melt out the inner core. It adds abbout 30 percent structural stiffness to the core structure. Cheers keep up the good work.

[@debrashawcross170]

who would've thought this would be so satisfying to watch

[@waltervanderboor]

[@dougulrich5381]

Good Day Colin, we are currently on a boat in Key West dropping of my son The College of the Florida Keys, he's going to be getting his Marine Engineering degree, then work on a Super Yacht. We learned about a formal 4 year degree in Marine Engineering from you. He's on a very exciting path and could not be more stoked about his future@@. When you're in Key West look him up, he'll be here for the next 4 years ;-), IF we can keep him of Duval street ;-)

(I say my above closing knowing full well that those days are coming for y'all just around the corner)...

[@War4theWest]

I think I learn the most from your channel of all the channels I watch. I think that's in part because of where I'm at but you also don't get bogged down in endless technical details, even as you are doing very technically complex things. You manage to focus on what's important move it along. You also seem to know how to move it along to keep me interested. I'm so hooked on your vids, I await each new one. And I too am amazed by fiberglass! Thanks.

[@svechappe6075]

Such a great add-on. I'm constantly advocating to those looking to purchase their long term cruising boat to find something that has a sugar scoop transom. The utility they provide can't be understated. For swimming, boarding the dinghy, diving, etc., they are just so useful, especially if you have kids or dogs. It's also a great safety feature for getting someone back onboard. Kudo's on this customization.

[@kenny9021043]

This channel is therapeutic. Love the new transom extension! On that last look from afar it Really makes the boat pop!

[@tuoppi42]

Looking at fiberglass work from youtube is probably the best way to have the experience. No itching and not having to deal with the resin smell. :-)

Hi Colin and Jamie, I'm sat here on my boat on a wet UK evening in Falmouth, Cornwall having just finished all your videos to date. Over the last few weeks I've been carrying out a refit of my 38’ Westerly Ocean Ranger by myself including removal of teak decking and repair and repaint of deck. Light is now at the end of the tunnel and seeing what you guys have achieved over your many months of work are an inspiration, and more importantly, a mine of good solid advice. I've recommended loads of my friends to your channel, the majority of which are really enjoying the ride along. Keep up the great work. Not loving having to wait a week for the next vid though 😂. Sooooo looking forward to the next Pacific chapter.🤙🏻

I love seeing how proud you are of each accomplishment. In these times of instant gratification (especially among the younger generation) having a role model demonstrate the reward of hard work is amazing. You created this channel to INSPIRE people by sailing around the world but have been able to achieve that goal before ever leaving the dock! ❤

[@darrentorr1]

Been a boatbuilder for 30 years and done a few transom extensions over the years, it's easier if you just step the battens you use to create the shape at the back by the thickness of the NIDA core, bend the NIDA core to the shape of the hull and laminate the inside, remove the battens on the outside and laminate the outside, no need for the Formica and you get a much better bond to the core, also putting epoxy directly on to fresh poly is not a good idea, solvents from the poly plays havoc with the epoxy, better just glassing the whole thing in poly, if you really want to use epoxy for the stiffeners then it's better let the poly fully cure for a week firs

[@gazdubai]

Boat builder by trade, done a few,. yer I didn’t see the need for epoxy. Don’t mix ya drinks so to speak. The first episode with the straight steel pipe on the hull was a head slap, should keep away from filler on the hull then glassing over the filler, remember “ glass to glass filler last” but it’s all good. It’s super strong and you do nice work. The bitch with cats is just when you finish one side you have to do it all over again.

[@jamaldarius7291]

just scuff the surface once it’s dried and cured then you can use epoxy on it

[@3959tasha]

That's really gonna set the boat off nicely. Colin and Jamie great work Q/A what made you think about adding the platform ? I hope you don't mind me sayin this but, have you ever thought about bottling up Jamie's laugh and sell it. I love his laugh he adds so much to the Vlog's. 😚💋💋❤ to you Guy's say hello to the Gal's💖
