Out Comes The Spreadsheet - 42Foot Catamaran Project Build Ep354

[@Worldslayer85]

Thanks!

[@LifeOnTheHulls]

Thank you so much mate, most appreciated.

[@PN_48]

No need to paint…. That routed tread groove will go black soon enough with grime😂 Mate, she looks great. At year 5 of my re-build I was so over it. Your ongoing excitement and positivity is admirable!

[@latitudeash]

Holly crap your on the water having fun. Lovely ❤

[@rolandtb3]

Congrats, another spoiler alert. Family boat outing. Tasi steps, option to make the grooves darker shade. Finally the galley counter area is almost complete. Enjoy the holidays, more than well deserved.

[@stephenburrows4250]

Well done team! That bench top looks awesome as well… 🙏

[@LifeOnTheHulls]

Thanks so much Steve, appreciate you watching.Rossco

[@stephenburrows4250]

You’ll have to sail upto Manly Qld one day…! Free beer on me! 👍

[@LifeOnTheHulls]

Maye, I will hold ypu to that.Cheers

[@nickcooper14]

That kitchen and the steps have come up a treat. So glad you guys actually used her over Christmas.🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼🇦🇺

[@LifeOnTheHulls]

I think it was the best gift ever, to actually have time on it not working fir a couple of days.Happy New Year Nick.

[@normanboyes4983]

Pretty sure that was a fab Christmas - afloat with the family, what’s not to like? ⛵️🎄😀

[@LifeOnTheHulls]

So true!, was a very special day with the family on our epic project boat, so good.Merry Christmas.

[@geraldtribbe6363]

She looks great in the sneak peak on the water. Looks like you got a little rigging left to do. Glad your family got to spend some time on her, instead of working on her. Well deserved, hope you and yours had a Merry Christmas. Can't wait for the final tour.

[@57dent]

Merry Christmas, boat looks amazing. Too late for this time but keep in mind that the next time you want hot glue to release squirt some isopropanol on it. That usually causes most hot glue bonds to release

[@odonkers]

Every week a little closer to the launch.Hats off to you and Janet for taking us on this journey

[@LifeOnTheHulls]

It has been an epic for sure, but the pay-off is slowly eventuating.Merry Christmas.

[@gunnarfernqvist4896]

Merry Christmas to all of you! I've been following you from the start and finally we get to see it on the water. Looking great!

[@Cameron-ur2tk]

Kitchen is nice but the stair treads are the chefs kiss to the whole project. Very nice way to tie the whole boat aesthetic together.

[@LifeOnTheHulls]

Thanks Cameron , they made the cabins , the hardwood really is the best choice for finishes.Ross

[@MGU001]

What can I say , seriously I don't know the right combination of words to say to you other then your amazing, you your wife and family. I know you're in the water now but dam it man well done. 7 years ffs well done.... Don't forget the blues!!!

[@LifeOnTheHulls]

Thanks mate, it was a brutal last few months, the upcoming videos will never do it justice.The punishment ahead was all the more satisfying once in the water.Merry Christmas.Rossco

[@gordonwd2]

The boat gets better looking every episode. You have to be proud, deservedly so.

[@LifeOnTheHulls]

Cheers Gordon

[@hooter7003]

Season greetings guys great to see it on the water, Looking fabulous

[@bdphourde]

Rossco, you and Janet have made that galley beautiful! That has to be worth all the work you put into it.

[@LifeOnTheHulls]

Cheers mate, that was a long, hard slog, but it turned out amazing, Janet did a fantastic job!

[@mcpa2991]

Always interesting to see you working with exotic composites! This Tree-O-Board you have been using is particularly fascinating. It seems quite easy to shape and finish!

[@latitudeash]

That kitchen top is a masterpiece of art. Very l0bely 😘

[@LifeOnTheHulls]

Thanks Ash it really did come up so well.

[@Winston_Smith]

Great stuff guys!

[@anthonywhitehead1881]

Love watching the videos guys. Absolute joy to watch the craftsmanship , dedication and progress . Have a lovely Christmas and New year from the Whitehead family Perth WA 😎

[@LifeOnTheHulls]

Thanks so much Anthony, appreciate you watching the videos.

[@gavinferguson]

Merry Xmas Ross and family I know boat work is never done but at least we will see you doing some sailing this year. Phenomenal job and best wishes from Scotland

[@LifeOnTheHulls]

Thanks Gavin, that is the plan rig will go in in about 6 weeks, then off to the sail maker, endless work still to do.Being on the water is so so good though. Rossco

[@martinneubert4068]

Merry christmas. Nice to see you all on the boat. Very nice work on the gallery and the steps. Take care. All the best.

[@billmeldrum2509]

Thanks for the sneak peek… happy, merry you guys. All the best for 2025 and beyond. 🇨🇦

[@LifeOnTheHulls]

Thanjs Bill, happy new year from a very hot Southern Australia.

[@mcpa2991]

That's a mighty fine motor cruiser you've got there! 😊

[@LifeOnTheHulls]

Will be a motor cruiser for about another 6 weeks mate.Thanks and merry Christmas.

[@mcpa2991]

@@LifeOnTheHulls merry Christmas!

[@peterculverwell2030]

Looking great Rosco, Merry Christmas to the whole team 🍾🎉 We call them backsplashes here in Canada 😂😂

[@mikeferguson2828]

Rosco on my cat the factory router’d the slot like in your steps then filled the hole with black sika flex. It works great on the feet and looks great as well

[@LifeOnTheHulls]

Hey Mike, I love the teak, black sika look, I have left it for now, but is a dust collector now, so I may fill them for a more finished look.

[@OnTheFlipSide]

What a beautiful way to spend Christmas!! Looks so good, be proud guys.

[@LifeOnTheHulls]

It’s the best present we could have asked for. Family time to enjoy all of their hard work.Merry Christmas.

[@matswilliams1058]

Greetings from up north and happy hollidays 🇸🇪

[@LifeOnTheHulls]

Merry christmas Mats, hope you have great holiday break.Ross

[@mikeskelly2356]

Can you make a 'knee' shaped support for the middle of that thin shelf? It could taper down to the thickness of the backsplash and rest atop it for an out of the way brace... 🤔

[@pauldixon3677]

Merry Xmas Rosco & family. Nice to see the boat has had splash down.

[@LifeOnTheHulls]

Same to you! So happy to have it in the water, tonnes of work still to be done but it is a massive relief.

[@gordonaddison435]

Merry Christmas you lot. Greetings from the UK. Just imagine where you might be next Christmas ❤

[@andywaugh4165]

Merry Christmas Rosco and family,great to see you on the boat for Xmas 👍

[@Nena84734]

Wow, very nice!

[@LifeOnTheHulls]

Thanks so much.

[@DVolvoguy777-x7o]

Looks great Ross! Going to add any accent lighting to the steps and sole? You and Janet doing fantastic on the pots and pans jobs! I hope you and yours had a great Christmas! ally’s of good stuff coming in the new year. Stay safe!

[@tonyfox2670]

Another great episode - heres to a Happy New Year to you and the family - glad to see you all finally getting to enjoy the fruits of all your hard work Rosco

[@LifeOnTheHulls]

Happy new year! Tony, thanks so much for tuning in.

Merry christmas Kev

[@JohnCampanelli-w7e]

Great work as usual!!

[@LifeOnTheHulls]

Thanks John.

[@rayboucher479]

Was that a bit of a speed wabble on the 1/2 round on the counter top or was that meant to be ?

[@ctown6971]

7:41 is not as strong as you think. Look at the one at the sink.

[@marktanska6331]

I built a 52f ketch, I accepted many shortcomings of my workmanship, so this is not criticizing your work (Your boat is the only one I consider buying) but that galley rounded door is driving me nuts.

[@LifeOnTheHulls]

It is killing me too mark, I will deal with at the end.

[@marktanska6331]

@@LifeOnTheHulls I knew it, thank you

[@Hotzenplotz1]

Rosco, why don't you glue an white grp angle profile under the top instead of an support down to the plate below.... You will need to redo the bend galley door. That thing jumps into eye right away.

[@LifeOnTheHulls]

I agree that door is a shocker, not a priority but will have to fix it, does my head in.

[@flutetubamorg]

One thing is sure, no white Christmas in Australia!

[@mitchshort2008]

If you had to sell it, what kind of price would you ask, and will you ever build another cat?

[@LifeOnTheHulls]

I will not be building another, sail price fully rigged is anyone's guess, won't be selling either.

[@latitudeash]

This cat will l9ve on long after you are gone Ross. That said you have a few ( lot ) more years of fun and live. When you name it you have incorporate your name onto it some where. Also a gross plate saying one of one built buy Ross and his beautiful family.

[@rayboucher479]

Why not just use silicone then it is much easier to have to remove if needed .

[@LifeOnTheHulls]

I hope it will never need to be removed, I would not like it to move it a big sea as it weighs about 40kg.Rossco

[@latitudeash]

Watch your back Ross, you know how the English are…..lol

[@LifeOnTheHulls]

Yes indeed, all too well Ash.

[@jimshanks9495]

Another channel! After investing some 3.5 years? Sounds like you are a bit frustrated. That does happen

[@jimshanks9495]

i have been following you for over 3 years now. All that woodworking could have been finished in this video! You seem to have gone back to rambling or maybe i am getting fed-up with the seemingly endless details and if so, i can imagine how you and Janet must have felt because i have a feeling that all that work in now done and these videos are just dragging on?? N'est pas?

[@LifeOnTheHulls]

Better find another channel then, because this is biat building, it drags on and I am showing as it is, nest pas

[@LupusMechanicus]

Merry Christmas, any chance we ever get a total cost. Labor included? Seem like you put at least as much time and effort as materials.
