Well obviously you building your catamaran nearly single handed with supervision from Johnny is impressive piece of hard work. However what is much more impressive is that in the out of the way places which will rarely be seen and when the light is showing at the end of the tunnel you are not rushing taking short cuts or saying well that is good enough. Instead you are putting in the extra time and effort sometimes a considerable amount to get everything 100% perfect rather than saying sod it and going with "Close enough for government work" . This is a testament to your work ethic and no doubt why your Kayak business did well.

[@LifeOnTheHulls]

It takes it's toll though Glenn,I could certainly take some short cuts but not sure I could live with that .Thanks for the great comment, made my day.Rossco.

[@jordantrevan2795]

Mate you're such an inspiration. Every week I feel so excited about working on my own cat after watching the episode.

[@LifeOnTheHulls]

Thanks buddy.Get into it,there is no better satisfaction than working on your boat.Ross

[@midgoog2]

Watching your dog charge off up the beach reminds me of the time I went camping at Pt Macdonnell near the SA Vic border. After spending the night sharing with a 6 month old Afghan puppy in a 2 man tent with a wild storm howling through the dunes we took him for a run along the beach at dawn. This is where he discovered seagulls and chased them into the water until he was chest deep and the frigid surf swamped him. Seagulls were now off the playlist as he sped off looking for other sport. By the time we caught up he had discovered the bait bucket and fish already hauled in by the guy out in the surf casting for more Salmon. It cost me $50 not to have the dog filleted. Cheers Eric

I don’t anticipate a squeaky boat. This rig is going to be solid. Good on ya Professor.

[@hansh8071]

That are the strongest shelfs ever 👍 great work!

[@mmanut]

You have come up with some serious creative storage ideas. ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL JOB‼️‼️. Vinny 🇺🇸

[@LifeOnTheHulls]

Thanks Vinny,awesome to hear from you buddy.Ross

[@latitudeash]

As much storage as you can. Every bit is going to be a life saver when you live on the boat

[@joeswinny7686]

The boat's really taking shape now Rossco; looking forward to the demould vid - it's getting more exciting every week.

[@LifeOnTheHulls]

Thanks Joe,appreciate you watching buddy.Ross

[@ellenboardman7709]

Looking good Rosco, putting in the hard yards. Can't wait to toast with champagne on the boat next year 😋

I am gonna hold you to that stranger.All my love.

[@floridasaltlife]

Geez, all these details take so much time, good or you for keeping you steam !!! You sir are an inspiration for tenacity.

[@NormanPaul]

I like the new time lapse music. 👍

[@1jeffcan]

Great work big fella. So much to do and it’s so much bulkhead in bulkhead out. You’re a champion.

[@LifeOnTheHulls]

Thanks buddy.Are getting let iut any time soon.

[@1ocean515]

Good stuff Ross. Glad to see you’re doing what you can to protect the knee and back. At the end of your build, you need to be mobile enough to enjoy the fruits of your epic labor. 👍

[@thomasnewton9818]

Climbing over the top of the bulkheads has to be a nut cracker if you're not careful...😆

[@LifeOnTheHulls]

Brutal

[@Conan-ny1um]

I have to say we/I have watched to wrestle that heavy ass Bathroom module at least plus 20 times, and who knows how many times you didn’t show us. Rosco Your patience is Legandary I would have lost it and probally would have needed counseling over that damn Bathroom! But I can’t wait to see it all come together been here before you started this epic project. I stumbled onto your channel when you were showing a completed but unfinished catamaran for sale! Anyways I can’t wait to see this 5kiloton cat do twenty plus knots.

[@RappinIggyG]

Love to hear the theme song at the start, but it's such a disappointment when it comes on at the end to signal the long wait till next week! Loving the build Ross. I almost pulled MY back out watching you wrestle with that module! Stay safe.

[@juanjosegarcia8499]

Roscooo! You are the best!!!

[@Bri-wi8kq]

Wonderful work Ross, thanks for sharing this with us.

[@mikeferguson2828]

Yes Russ living on a boat I can say storage especially lots of small cupboard spaces help a lot. Big open spaces are a pain ! On my cat I have 2 x 50mm conduits running both sides of the Chinese and I have 3 x 50mm conduits running from side to side over the bridge deck and 2 running down the centre of the bridgedeck. As I have added things along the road they are a godsend. You needs lots of access for future projects as you go...

[@nena4215]

Unbelievable work, you’ve given yourselves plenty of storage in otherwise useless spaces, brilliant!! Oh my god, hearing you describe your future working conditions sounds so brutal with the deck hanging over, oh man! Super episode, thanks so much!

[@MVSheKon]

Now that the cabin top is hovering you must be one hella happy fella there’s no more modules to list in and out!!! Bravo Rosco. Cheers mate.

Hey Roscoe - great progress - but do not get too carried away with storage - you will just fill it.😉👍⛵️

[@LifeOnTheHulls]

I am certain Janet will fill it mate Rossco

[@medickaisu]

so much happening. Even I can see how these modules are now going to function in the finished product. It will be amazing. You will have earned every inch of it.

[@fonhollohan2908]

It's all looking good Ross. You need to fab up a crane system Ross the time and headaches that you would avoid would be worth all the grief it take to conjure something! up! That might work for you, at least consider it , may take one day to fab something up! at the most. unless you just have only a couple modules to mess with but it looks like it would be worth the headache. " She's an idiot, She's gone." LOL Dog's can be hilarious and sometimes not the brightest creators that's for sure. We have two, ones smart the other is a dumb as a stick. My brother had a dog once and he named it " Stupid." He'd jump in his truck for fun and get the dog to chase him. He'd be yelling out of the trucks window, common stupid, common stupid and that dog would chase the truck for days. LOL

[@tomvanrooyen3600]

While whisking away in the coffin, do you ever see your sell sailing this beautiful catamaran to where your heart desires? Everyone say they can't wait for the demoulding, let me tell you I can wait to see video's of you crossing oceans. Enjoy.

[@michaelmoore1403]

I love your work!

[@LupusMechanicus]

Like the tease opening, good tactic. Nice doge, got a shorthair right now prob getting a wirehair next i'm told they listen better.

You have to have so much pride in the wonderful work your accomplishing on your boat! Great memories for a lifetime with all of the problem solving. Thanks for sharing your journey. God’s blessings

[@ProudMary53]

Another great video Rossco. Glad it's you & not me working in that confined space now, especially since our summer's getting closer. Lucky that your down at the 'cooler' part of the state. 🤣🤣🤣 Cheers Pete

Good work hatched a plan booked in on the 26th November hopefully I can help you on the 27th

[@Mistakeful_Learning]

Great progress Ross. Looking forward to seeing the deck demold.

[@magicmike5166]

Just watch the grams like you're doing, the kilos will take care of themselves. Amazing how long every bit takes, soon on to the wiring, that will be really interesting...

[@davemoulding8799]

I hope you put the tubing under there before glassing in

[@gregworkshop5713]

hi that look like a lot of hard work . the cat will look grate wen it dun .

[@mikestickersm3mxb279]

Brilliant, roll on two weeks!

[@martinneubert4068]

Awesome work Ross as always. I see why you could use some help there, lifting those modules. Tak care buddy. All the best.

[@donr416]

You will not regret all the shelf work. You need the cubic feet of storage, but mind the weight you put in them. You’ll want your bird to fly.

[@LifeOnTheHulls]

Thanks Don,great advice.Cheers Ross

[@simonbilstrup536]

You are a true inspiration to watch! - Keep on the good spirit Rosco!

[@marcjordan29]

Awesome work! I've never been more excited for someone else's successes than I am for you guys.. Showing the world that with commitment and determination (and a ton of skills and expertise). BIG things are not out of reach.

[@tacc8227]

Since its almost summer time, I would suggest getting a portable AC such as a Midea 10,300 BTU (13,500 BTU ASHRAE) 115V Smart Portable Air Conditioner, I used that as an example to give you an idea. As long as you exhaust the heat outside your tent it should keep the small areas you work in cooler. The downside is it can be too loud for recording and a bit awkward to move from one compartment to another. I would have suggested maybe using a swamp cooler but if your climate is humid it would do you no good. Plus the fact it would add moisture to the air and Im sure that wouldnt be good for fiber glassing. Im not an expert by any means.

[@JCrook1028]

He said in the video that ha has a portable AC unit he's gonna use... did you watch the video?

[@tacc8227]

@@JCrook1028 I just didnt hear it, otherwise I wouldnt had suggested it.

[@erik365365365]

Nice

[@LifeOnTheHulls]

Thanks

[@mkllove]

Great work as always Ross ! Will the stair treads have a lift out panel to access that open area below and also so you can reinforce it to fight the squeaks I've heard on almost all commercial cats I've ever visited ? You could also make those treads/panels from rib reinforced wood with a non skid finish routed into upper surfaces and have them drop in place onto a lip surrounding the area which would also stiffen it considerably... More spaces for essential odds and ends like beer !

[@eppot1]

the cutting part of your multitool... show mor of it.. brand and what your experiences from it . Loooking good.. how is your wifes time plan .4 the boat going ;-)

[@jackdbur]

I think that your shelves are attached to the hull better than Benateau's grid structure is.

[@LifeOnTheHulls]

Thanks Jack.I like to know there will be no squeaks.Rossco

[@harrisonandrew]

Ross, Ross … PIVOT!

[@simonr6793]

Rossco having watched plenty of your video's and knowing that the overall weight is extremely important. Do you have inmind a overall weight for your catamaran that your aiming for and how much will it differ from a production line catamaran build 🤔. As always brother 💯% 👍 🇬🇧.

[@Hotzenplotz1]

Great work, great quality laminating. Don't you do the cut outs with rounded corners? As the internal modules are part of the boats strength, I'd be afraid of cracks in the corners. Especially on a catamaran.

[@sailingcitrinesunset4065]

Nice video! Are you going to flowcoat all the internals and shelving?

[@latitudeash]

remember to put in a hidden safe or two, where no one would guess.

[@LifeOnTheHulls]

I have an area that will certainly suffice.Cheers Ash.

[@rt17022]

Are you considering possible condensation drainage on the lower shelves?

[@JCrook1028]

Ahh yes, cubbies everywhere! They'll all find a something to fill themselves with in no time.

[@thomasnewton9818]

An overhead gantry crane system would be worth a million bucks when you work alone.

[@smc419]

Have you given thought to getting a cooling vest?

[@LifeOnTheHulls]

Once it hit 45 I would consider it.Not that soft.hah

Hey Ross how often do you need to change those respirator cartridges, I imagine you go through a few? I assume they're A1?

[@LifeOnTheHulls]

Hey mate Every 21 days as mine aren't getting heavily used.Only buy AS 3m organic filters,not the Chinese version,as they have been found to have minimal carbon in them.Expensive but what price do you pay.Cheers Ross

[@LifeOnTheHulls]

Hey Mate.O change them every 21 days as they aren't beingbused

Hey Ross what model makita Is that what works on the tracks? Doesn't look like a plunge cutter and I didn't see an adapter

[@LifeOnTheHulls]

Hey buddy it a Kregg track accessory.Fsntastic and fits all skill saws.Cut up to 2.4mtrs long so a full board as there are 4 interchangeable section of 60cm.Cheers Ross

[@donr416]

How many times have you taken that head module out?

[@LifeOnTheHulls]

Far too many but it is a perfect fit.

[@brucebrown4480]

Just out of curiousity, the video makes the shelf (minute 9) look like it is not level in the back left corner. I am hoping it is just the way the video makes it look. Your attention to detail causes me to believe that is just the angle of the video (I hope so anyway) and not an oversite by you.

[@georgemaas1347]

HI ROSS, You are always trying to minimize weight, spending thousands of dollars on foam. And now installing a washing macine in the bowsection of the boat. You do not need a washing machine man, you need a great sailing catamaran!

[@LifeOnTheHulls]

Happy wife George.I will only have a 16kg deawoo mini at the most one picrured was 42kg.Cheers Rossço
