Happy Birthday Day Brian!!!

[@DanielMashonkin]

The most loyal person in the film! Definitely a hero!

[@DanielMashonkin]

Thanks Rebecka for the carpet! I impressed on how many lovely people involved. I see it is a real fun for them and real help for the project. Thanks team for the efforts!

[@SailingSVLynx]

I couldn't agree more, we need their help.

Great episode- fantastic progress

[@SailingSVLynx]

Thanks, we appreciate you watching!

[@rhyslightning3379]

Great work guys! Getting closer to a boat rather than a couple canoes - I can feel your excitement building! 😊 Happy birthday Brian!

[@SailingSVLynx]

Thanks so much! 😊

forcast in Auckland was heavy rain raining, BUT now iuts 30 degrees with HIGH humidity

[@DanielMashonkin]

In Brisbane AU we currently have 30-35C and 50-90% humidity which makes any work outdoor literally impossible.

[@SailingSVLynx]

Yikes 😬

[@SailingSVLynx]

That's uncomfortable.

Another great episode with great info. Happy B-Day Brian.

[@SailingSVLynx]

Thanks, and I am sure Brian appreciates your well wishes. It's snowing this week, so maybe I should let him go skiing for a day? ☃️

Happy Birthday Brian 🎂

It was indeed. thanks.

DiY level works anywhere.. 8mm clear plastic pipe as long as you need, fill barring two or three Meters ...with water food dye or ink to make it easy to see. The water level at each end will always be level so you can reach across from your first hull and under the second hull to the other side. .. It wont break needs no power is mm accurate cheap and the only thing you need is a couple of dowl plugs to stop it spilling whilst your moving it around ... 😂 Used it for building work and surveying blowouts in sand dunes with student ... so almost fool proof 🧙‍♂️

Happy Birthday Brian! Mads over in Sail Life has a great set of videos on the copper coat process. Good to check that set out. He has his boat on the hard and has given a good review on it. I think your set of videos will be the most comprehensive series ever filmed by any couple ever. Check out a video series “Building Wilda”. I think you might get some good ideas from Rox and Axel. No disappointment there. They are building a Schonning (sp?) Wilderness and about the same size as Lynx. Safe building!

[@SailingSVLynx]

I will check out the Sail Life video! Thanks. We already watch Building Wilda. :)

[@sailingsomeday5975]

Maybe it’s because I’m commenting early so not a good representative number of comments- but there seems to be a lot of negative posts today….I wonder what large projects those negative folks have ever taken on. Keep up the good work - it can be really tough to put content out when your project by design involves back to back doing the same thing (as in 2 hulls). Keep up the good work and power through this!

[@SailingSVLynx]

Positive or critical, we appreciate everyone's viewership. It's all good, but thanks for your words of encouragement.

[@flutetubamorg]

That paint is coming out great! I can't ever get masking tape work right. Paint either bleeds under or I wait to long and when I pull the tape of the paint peels off too. Or something.

[@morgananderson9647]

I like the looks of your design better than Schionning's offerings. All the best to you! M-

[@SailingSVLynx]

Thanks, we do love our 1520. However, I can help improve the new models if someone is interested and wants my input on some changes.

[@AntoineGrondin]

I've been thinking recently that helm positions can become a much simpler design problem if we add "docking cameras" to boats, like parking cameras on cars. This way, docking becomes much less of a design constraint in picking a helm layout, allowing a greater focus on helming while underway. There's the concern of keeping things simple and avoiding complexity on cruising boats, but the failure mode (or at least, the point where a failure becomes a problem) of cameras involves a dock, which implies proximity to civilization. Hence it's not that big of a deal if the cameras fail while you're in the middle of the Pacific. Anyways, kind of a side topic but your discussion of the various layouts kept making me think about helm layouts.

[@SailingSVLynx]

Docking cameras do work, and I have seen boats with them. However, 2D screens are never as good at depth perception as your own eyes. That's why we added a separate set of engine throttles on the port side (opposite from the helm to starboard). The position of the throttles on either side allows a helmsman to stand on either side deck, looking right down the side of the boat that is approaching the dock. But yes, we still plan to also add a camera mounted up under one of the spreaders on the port side, viewable from the chartplotter at the helm for times when we are entering a lock, for example, and both sides of the boat are close to something.

[@AntoineGrondin]

@@SailingSVLynx I hadn't thought about installing those on the spreaders... that's a good idea. I've also seen someone use wireless controlled engine controls to move around and control the boat from wherever. That's another idea, for electric boat, although I would keep a hard-wired set. My DIY electric boat might actually work with this setup, I might try it out...

[@mckenziekeith7434]

My boat doesn't have any cameras. But if I was going to use a camera for docking, I think I would want it at the spreaders or mast head.

[@jasonargonaut9112]

Starts looking like haul 😉 Re level waterline - in the classic/traditional boat building the waterline shouldn’t be perfect straight. At the boe and at the stern it should be slightly higher than in the middle of the hull

[@SailingSVLynx]

I suppose that is true of old boat building, but this is new boat building, and we are mostly following the boat manufacturer's directions. I say 'mostly' because we chose to go 100mm above the water line when they recommended 50mm, but in either case, a straight line. :)

[@jasonargonaut9112]

@@SailingSVLynx a higher waterline is never wrong 😉

[@omarrashash394]

Well, the particulate masks aren’t doing you anything in the way of protection from the epoxy vapors. Personally, I’d have just skipped the masks since you’re working outside. If you feel compelled to wear a mask, it needs to be sealed and have vapor filtering filters. Rule of thumb, if you can smell the solvent, the mask isn’t properly fitted, or the filters aren’t appropriate for what you’re doing.

[@SailingSVLynx]

We often wear the masks for particulates in the air, not vapors.

[@glennedwards1449]

YT sucks now I will admit that you do not have a lot of interesting content although you are certainly maxing out what you have but to only have 5,5k subs and approaching 70 episodes suck big time. I hope this does nor discourage you just keep on your grind

[@SailingSVLynx]

First of all... we're quite happy with the progress of the channel. Secondly, let's do a little comparison. Sailing Red Seas has 122 episodes, and they just won the "Best Emerging KZbin Sailing Channel" award. They have 7.36 subscribers after 122 episodes and average about 3,000 views per. We have 5.47 subs and average closer to 5,000 views per. That puts us right on track on the subs and doing better on the views. Life on the hulls (building a catamaran) has 25k subs, but 330 episodes, that's right about the same average subs per episodes. There are sailing channels that have done much better, but more that have done worse. And thirdly, we make these episodes for a lot of reasons, gaining subs is just one. So, yes, we will keep making videos and we'll be happy with however many people wish to subscribe, we appreciate their time, and yours, watching our videos. Thanks!

@@SailingSVLynxPure boatbuilding is a niche interest unlike painting fingernails or squeezing pimples - go figure but that is just the way it is. (Leo bucked the algorithm).

[@davidnonya7359]

@@SailingSVLynx partly my fault. been binge watching these, for 3 weeks orso. after binge watchin mj sailing. and i just subscribed. i am relatively young compared to phillip. and i am thinking of building 2 of these. alamost at the same time, a bit staggered, why 2?. one for myself and 1 to make sell ti make money to make to sell. i studied aerospace engineering. so my engineering might be on part. and worked for a few years in construction for my uncles company so i think i can do it. i am in a country in south America that has cheap labor cost. just like Thailand. so might hire some people. that was just my intro. i am a rambling man, but yeah me explaining why low subscribers is my fault turned into a ramble sorry about that
