⛵️Amazing 43ft Aluminum Exploration Cruiser!! Ep.316

[@OddLifeCrafting]

I'm so sorry for getting the name of the new owners wrong on the video... I got the names from an Alubat posts and I mistake the names. Sorry again!

[@skywarrior00]

Okay, I'm not a sailor but that seems to be an almost perfect boat for a couple. Not too big, not too small, well designed, and just nice. And what a sweet owner!!

[@OddLifeCrafting]

We agree!

[@rustneversleep]

Wow that boat owner seemed ultra down to earth positive vibe 🍾🖐️👍

Dear Roberta... exploration Garcia 45.. by far ones the most space very well futures aluminum sailboat ever see ...., i hope you'll find the best solution for your expectation...

Such a beautiful boat. I'm looking forward to seeing yours in the flesh.

😊 me too

[@peterv.276]

The smaller 370 has a perfect layout

[@foxlake6750]

I like the electric motor, uses less space, quiet. Back up generator, add more solar and wind generator. I like the aluminum hull, easy to repair, doesn’t absorb water over the life of the boat, no gel coat to scratch, can take the abuse and in the end can be recycled vs. Ending up in a dump or boat graveyard.

Nice to be invited to tour another boat and you didn't have to travel far from last weeks 😉😂 A nice boat but i noticed two things that made me think 🤔 the external life lines/rails were low more likely to trip you than save you ... The other thing was the helms were very far back and i feel thats not where you want to be in a cold following sea. 🧙‍♂️🇬🇧

[@OddLifeCrafting]

To be honest now that we are helping with the design of our boat we respect so much for other boats design. It's literally impossible to have everything, it's always a matter of compromisse. Like the helm for example if it is not far you will have a tiny cockpit or a tiny saloon. So you need to compromisse in something. If the boat was only meant to go to Antartica I would definitely chose a small cockpit with a helm more at the center, but if the boat wil spend some time in the tropics too I would go for the big cockpit. On Odd we had this problem, and for sure it was designed for the cold weather. Of course there is no right or wrong, there are compromises and decisions. 😅

[@clivestainlesssteelwomble7665]

@@OddLifeCrafting One helm on the bulkhead... one further aft on a swinging mount So you dont need two big wheel s blocking your transom loading and unloading and aft dingy mounts.. 🤔? In some places your expected to tie up stern first like the Med in others like Sweden etc they tie up bow first even to rocks. See Ran 2 sailing. Thinking aloud having seen many folks getting wet, bitten, cold tired and burned... 🧙‍♂️👍🏼🤞🏼 Remember Ventilation and insulation will help you anywhere. Play on kids..😎

[@bkvdpw]

Maybe it's just the perspective of someone who isn't a boat person, but the cockpit of this boat seems absolutely HUGE compared to Odd!! Is the beam that much larger or is it just a more judicious use of the space? Either way, I hope your new boat turns out exactly as you planned. At least that way you can sail it for a month before you start making changes! Thanks, again, for the visit.

[@philtucker1224]

Personally I’m looking forward to Roberta and Duca returning to much warmer climates!

[@OddLifeCrafting]

It will take a while my friend. We are freezing right now. hehehehe I (Duca) worked outside yesterday for like 5 hours a -2 degrees celsius. 🥶 Just be a bit patient with us that it will all make sense and eventually we will be back hopefully in our way to French Polynesia! 🥰

[@noldushumlesnurr6169]

Not envious at all😂. Wish the owners a happy journey. Electric propulsion with battery and generators seems like a very good evolution from the trusty diesel engine.

[@Chris-nf2ej]

I'm excited to see van build updates!!!! Have you guys considered a wind turbine generator as well for the new boat?

[@cameronjones4810]

Duca, Will all the electricals on your boat be wired for native 120 volt or 240 volt appliances, equipment and personal items? Are you going to go for e drive with your boat? If so will you have a couple of generators to allow you to drive your propulsion motor at full output? How much capacity are you planning for your solar charging system? Can't wait to hear more about your actual boat!

[@OddLifeCrafting]

Good question!! Some answers we have some we don't yet. And some I'm pretty sure will change along the way hehehe. Let's wait and see. Solar is a easy one to answer. As much as we can fit. hehehehe At this point I would say at least 2kwatts possibly something close to 2.5kw or even 3kw. Propulsion we are not 100% sure yet due to $. The boat will be mainly 220v but we consider having a secondary inverter/charger at 110. At this point we are more focus on making sure the hull of the boat is as close as possible for our needs as we probably order the aluminum tomorrow and start the build by the end of February. That's where our focus is right now, trying to think every little detail of the hull. 😅

[@cameronjones4810]

That's going to be super cool! I totally get what you're saying about concentrating on the hull right now. I'm an engineer as well, and this is a very complex project. At this point you're just making room in the hull and on deck for the electrical systems you think you're going to need, and you've really just roughed that idea out at this point. You'll fine-tune that idea later in the process, when the stage of the build finally forces you to fully define this stuff. If you didn't take this approach you would drive yourself totally crazy, too many variables right?! It is so totally cool that you guys get to build a boat from scratch! It is going to be such a huge amount of work, but you guys are younger than me and you will do fine with all the labor involved!😊

[@hedleyjackson5131]

I appreciate you are planning a midships main cabin, but I do wonder how comfortable these flatter bottomed boats are to sleep in the main fore cabin? Great video and a well thought out design.

[@lenwhatever4187]

Yes she sounds like Quebec :) (this means she is understandable... at least to me) Building a boat is certainly a dream but buying an older boat is attainable. There are enough boats on the market to find something with a usable layout. It is worthwhile finding out what stock layouts are available for different models when looking .

I want you guys to give us ideas on our boat, you have a lot of insight that only comes from rebuilding and living on a boat i think.

[@OddLifeCrafting]

No worries that there will be plenty of that. hehehehe Our bout will be a really different design in a way and we will have looots to talk about. hehehe Just need to be patient as designing a boat takes time. But we are close, really close. In fact we are schedule in the boat yard to start building the hull in the end of February. 🤩

[@alexelbert482]

[@johnzink3309]

thx

[@TheTyphoon365]

One of the ONLY problems with this, and why the 370 might be a better choice for actual adventure sailing, is the twin rudder setup here. The 370 has a single skegged rudder

[@marie-ceciletarissants9451]

Hi Duca and Roberta, I am the owner and my name is Marie-Cécile not Jess and my husband is Robert not Bill. These are the names of the other boat owners. Hope your project is going well.

I'm so sorry! I got the names from an Alubat posts and I mistake the names, we didn't get your names when we met. Sorry again! Thanks so much again for letting us filming your boat. We wish you the best time in the water. Our project is going, slowly but going. All the best

[@kayweiss1862]

mast figuration :tabernacle ? . I wonder ,if ,for an alu and steel boat up to a certain size , a welded tabernacle would (almost ) provide the strength of a keel step mast ,without dripping problems along the mast .In addition ,having the tabernacle high and strong enough, to have the boom hanging from it ,with the mast lowered down onto the boom (and sail ) , would provide even more ease of lowering and raising the mast and provide more connection points between mast and tabernacle .I have never experienced the above configuration ,but it might be worthwhile to investigate ,especially for a new build in alu and longterm cruisers ,who might want to access river and lake systems with low bridges and might benefit from ease of access of the whole mast .

[@MarkAllen-p6z]

The number of new boats with new concepts you are able to see now that you aren’t sailing every day, how are you ever going to decide which ones you’re going to include? Or just say ALL of them😂

[@FicouTop]

Vocês tocaram numa questão que tenho algumas dúvidas, eu montava rede de computadores, e fazia dois aterramentos um funcional que vai conectado nos equipamentos elétricos e outro de proteção, usava um transformador isolador para não haver ligação entre eles, assim obtive mais êxito quando acontecia de ter algum descarga, por exemplo raio. Dessa forma os equipamentos não sofria dano. No caso do veleiro penso ser da mesma forma, mas já existe equipamentos que fazem essa separação?

[@philkakid5617]

I’ve noticed that on a lot of sailboats the sail locker hatch is a Bomar style, glass hatch. Why is that? It would seem that a solid hatch would be more durable and would carry more weight.

[@OddLifeCrafting]

In this way I believe you can have a water tight hatch and light coming in at the same time. And also if water make into the lazaret it will make into the boat. In our new boat we won't have, but we will have a water tight bulkhead right where the companionway door is, so in case water get's to the lazaret it won't make to the main part of the boat. Hope it made sense my "confusing" explanation. hehehe

These flexible stick on solar panels generate a lot of heat, do you have a different gel coat to cope with this, I know regular gel coat degrades very quickly and can even lift leaving water traps that cannot be seen.

[@OddLifeCrafting]

That is a good question. Which one of the solar panels do you mean?

[@paulstephens5229]

Any Solar panels that just lay on the surface of your cabin top or decking any not in a frame, although it would be interesting just to see what the temperature under all solar panels get up to, and how to prevent damage.

Don't build that boat. Look to Moody 45 and 54 where Salon and outside are the same level. The boat you are looking at is a raised salon like Jeanneau DS but its not a Deck Salon design. Moody's DS is better in every way including material choices. Deck Salons are perfect sail boats; you are very smart to build this.

What a milestone! In a month or so the building of our boat is gonna start, FINALLY! As you guys know we are gonna be converting our cargo van into our home on wheels while Meta Chantier Naval builds our boat and before we start the building of our van (that means that the CRAFTING part of our channel is gonna be back) we have one more special episode next week.

It’s about more than storage. Our scow bow shapew is smooth and fast, doesn’t roll downwind, tracks like on rails, and surfs with 16kts plus. At 42’ we have the interior space of a 50’ or more. Pointy bows are the past, and you can mark that down. In ten years you won’t find a new design with a poinrted bow uness the owner is looking for ‘traditional’. Take that to the bank.@@foxlake6750
