Ep. 14 We ask the engineer - Welding in narrow confines - Performance catamaran evolution

If you want more information on the Odisea 48, 55 or 62 then send an email to [e-mail]
The boat build is in full swing....and I am still worried about sponsors though. I have sent one of my fans off to Dusseldorf Boat Show to create some opportunities, so let's see what happens.
The Odisea 48 from Odisea Catamarans has just started to get built in Vietnam. The design is complete, the paperwork has been done and now the factory has had 4 days to start the job and they are welding like madmen. Finally the wait is over, the Elcano World Challenge will begin in 2024 people.
If you would like to help the project along then become a patron and get access to exclusive content.

I hope it's going well. I've been with you for 7 years now and will always support the channel

[@nooneanybodyknows7912]

It's nice to see the engineers being friendly and talking on camera. The progress is impressive.

[@faircompetition1203]

Exceptional quality build. That boatyard will be able to use your videos in their promotional stuff for years .

[@dennispatrick4999]

PLUCKY is getting closer to his dream Catamaran!

[@murrat]

Amazing Peter. The panels look incredible. Your boat builders have skills.

[@joemarquez4729]

You pick the right place for build. The engineers and builders are doing a great job. Thanks for explaining things. Keep up the good work.

[@maverickmyrtlebeach]

Great picture of all the crew @ 0:18 its turning in to a family build... Please let them know we respect their craft and good people living in better times....

[@richardelder256]

We did a 118' S & S motorsailor in Seattle WA. I had a 16 man welding crew but all the tanks were internally welded by one man. Vo. From Vietnam. He was the only guy who would fit! 😁

[@tedsmith6137]

The fit of that skin is a Work of Art!

[@Artiz...]

Just a cursory knowledge regarding the historic and nuanced development of aluminium production is enough to 'raise the hairs'... "metal from clay" as they used to say! Your astonishing build by a team of remarkable Vietnamese experts, with build technology to match, is nothing short of 'State of the Art' Pete... your ocean shredding 'spacecraft' being built in front of our very eyes remains 'un-ferkin-believable'! Keep pumping out those videos Pete... won't be long before you have your pick of sponsors mate... trust me! 😉 Crack on!

[@davidpeck8351]

Awesome to see the progress being made by these incredible craftsmen. Really, top stuff people!

[@Locajabra]

It bears repeating that this factory is doing remarkable work in a very timely manner. Great to see

[@leadreviewer3257]

Amazing workmanship the boat is looking beautiful

[@chrisjuza1249]

Have your buddies on Parley talk about your econo challenge and boat building series. Heck hit them all up for some love.

[@MrGelitube]

Nice work plucky, keep them coming

[@michelbedos9371]

We will be part of the supporters having watch the boat being build and follow you going around the world. You will be very famous and we have been following you from almost the start. We are proud of you Peter aka Pluky. Keep it up!

[@ronm3380]

Plukky, It is exciting to see the dream becoming reality. I am impressed with the engineering and skill of the Vietnamese people. I am looking forward to seeing her sail - that will be an exciting day!

[@paulcrowdis7443]

I’m so happy to see Plukky getting the boat he truly deserves.

[@MsMixd]

Very informative video. I really liked to see the details of construction. I liked it so much, I rang the bell "down there"

[@davidkenny3611]

Wow been a long time since I have seen tradesmen building something correctly. A joy to watch. Keen to see the rudder / cassette builds when the time comes. 😊

[@chrispy104k]

This boat is taking shape very quickly. What a great team.

[@danieloliver20]

She's a beaut Plukky, top stuff, take care!

[@richardboyce4921]

They are true tradesmen. Nice job..

[@jamesheynen5256]

Love that you are wearing the official gear!

[@timothymarcotte7760]

Amazing craftsmanship- looks fantastic

[@vanseventy]

Hey Pedro. The Vietnamese do great work. Great people!

[@ST-xx9rt]

This is not just a challenge. It's the kind of thing worthy of being a man's life work. The ripple affects May last for generations. Lead on!

[@SAILINGintoFREEDOM]

That's the spirit

[@melinda5777]

Well Cap'n Plukky, I know I've already seen this and posted a comment, this is just an extra boost!✝️🙏❤🇺🇸🇸🇭⛵👣🍍🤗⚘⚘⚘⚘

[@SAILINGintoFREEDOM]

Good on you Melinda, you are the best

[@GlennyRizzla]

Been watching for a few years now and had a couple conversations with Plucky here lol. What an amazing guy and very knowledgeable about his passion. Still trying to get him to come up north to NB Canada some summer for a sail ⛵️. Have some lobster 🦞 and sone good Canadian beers 🍻

[@SAILINGintoFREEDOM]

That's very kind...i will have to sail up there.....is it bikini weather?

[@GlennyRizzla]

@@SAILINGintoFREEDOM hahaha. Mid summer ☀️ there will be lots of bikinis 👙 especially during Baie Du Vin days. Huge boating party on the sand dunes amazing times I promiss.

[@jamesgordon2289]

Love the episode Plucky, the classical music was an unexpected cultural garnish,

[@patrickernst651]

Very Cool. Making progress

[@schmidtfjs]

I think the Challenge is such a great way to help advance knowledge of technology that has been developed. It also creates opportunity to seed development of new technology. When a buzz can be created, so much more is the world becomes aware of it. Plukky, your personality, skill, and entertainment values will make a difference. Thanks for all you do.

[@petershaw6727]

Those guys are artists, not just engineers. Top stuff!

[@lyndeebrider2340]

Really enjoying the build can’t wait for every new changes ❤ why aren’t the subscriber numbers increasing? This is amazing to watch

[@jmccabe419]

I’ll be helping on the Patreon this time next month mate

[@SAILINGintoFREEDOM]

Woohoo

[@robertbuckley3582]

Amazing the degree of precision in building the boat

[@michaelfitzgerald7694]

ON ON !!

[@3AdamAnt]

This is going to be awesome! I can’t help but wonder… when you get back on the water, what will be different and what will be the same as the old episodes?

[@tim31736]

Love it, Love it, Love it!

[@8marcrara11]

Goodonya Plukky!!🤙🤙 all the best for you!🌺🐝🐉🇦🇺

[@ptrkarlberg]

So freakin cool boat!

[@dclements54]

And the quality vlog continues, amazing work!

[@adrianchristopher5867]

Great stuff Peter! These guys sure know how to conform large 6m sheeting. Cannot wait to see the hulls completed with the sheeting.

[@hedleyjackson5131]

Impressive precision with such a complex curve, to think they had to make their own English wheel and learn how to use it KZbin help? Glad to be able to support this build.

[@pleclerc1]

The progress is insane, love it!

[@dalebogue3806]

Absolutely stunning work so cool to watch this cat get built from the ground up! Thanks sharing! 🤙🏼💯

[@Mike00982]

They do unbelievable work and fast.

[@thomasautos36]

I can already see that thing floating 😊

[@kennethforbes7522]

Thanks!

[@woodyatwes9372]

[@SAILINGintoFREEDOM]

Woohoo.... thanks to you

[@iain-xf7sp]

Brilliant video Plucky! Great to see the build going so well with such amazing peeple around you putting it all together. And, well done for the piece at the start where you explained what the Elcano Challenge is all about. That needs to go in to every video so newbies understand what this is for! All the best! Iain.

[@sailorruss5279]

Thanks

[@SAILINGintoFREEDOM]

Woohoo and thanks to you my friend

[@obwan7217]

Good on you Pluckster....

[@kristaready8812]

Looks like you're really speeding along! Love the fact that it'll be running green. 🤗💞

[@drsamjohn]

Coming along nicely

[@gcrauwels941]

Those panels fit so sweet. Like a gggglove. Interesting how you plan on generating power by dragging the screws. I can't wait to see how well that works.

[@petersimon-collins8895]

They are moving you are going to bring a lot of work to this yard you have put them on the map Peter

[@timshimmin3468]

Top stuff plucky. We are so excited to see the progress of the build.

[@billyjames7735]

The same picture shown at 0:20 with the same workers in front of the finished hull and a thumbs up would be a great advertisement.

[@johnphillips519]

This factory is very impressive👍

[@moelnaghi3714]

Godspeed bro Keep it up dude 💪🏽

[@tunnelrabbit2625]

Excellent.

[@Stevie6962]

Engineering and art superb

[@comfortablynumb9342]

That boat is going to be badass. Top stuff Plukky.

[@johncammarota9984]

[@themadjedi2488]

Great builders

[@ecclesheat]

[@chrisayles7694]

A thing of beauty is a joy forever

[@grumpyjohntxredneckrc6346]

[@BusstterNutt]

G`day from the uk

[@paulpence8895]

Holy F'ing sht bro, you have a boat there!!!! Currently in between contracts,,, wish I could help more!!!

[@arnoldlueders7500]

This is amazing!

[@clivestainlesssteelwomble7665]

Pete if your going to get the best out of your electric motors and regen your props are going to be critical not just the diameter and pitch but also the abillity to feather them and even reverse them to get the best regen. I think if you want to get a feel for whats possible look up everything you can on the Windelo 's.

[@SAILINGintoFREEDOM]

See Bruntons

[@TTM-GEB]

All good... Maybe even better if you used Flex Seal too? 😮

[@morychok11]

Очень красивая лодка. Сильная. Удачи

[@RNVOS]

Looking great Punky! ❤ from 🇨🇦

[@brentpenfold1795]

Love the new intro, informing those who are coming new to your build videos. Only suggestion is to add “ … to achieve a zero-carbon world circumnavigation …” under your “The Elcano World Challenge” title. :o)

[@brianmalon735]

Your welcome

[@EdHelwig]

Nice to see the progress as usual Plukky. There are no performance charts on the generators to figure out the minimum speeds?

[@SAILINGintoFREEDOM]

No...we will figure them out

[@flightjunkie808]

Looking good! Wow. I have concerns though about water accumulation in the inaccessible areas like in the bow, and this internal moisture corroding away without access to inspect or repair.

[@SAILINGintoFREEDOM]

You can have a hatch if you like

[@nztitirangi]

They could stamp those panels to fine tolerance standard in seconds. Casting the other components with locating tabs for order of mag improvement.

[@SAILINGintoFREEDOM]

Yeah but where is the fun in that

[@uptone12111]

OK I am getting excited! Picturing you making history sir!

[@simonhantler8062]

Don’t paint it. Always a hassle. Do what KM do just sand it. Looks mint.

[@SV_Aroo]

It's remarkable how fair the shell plates are coming out. Straight to paint?!!!

[@cliffkirk4958]

Very nice. Looking forward to seeing the finished build

[@adambooth600]

Mr Tung slap Plucklee with a fish when he start to annoy you😂

[@adambooth600]

Please

[@julianshalders6047]

Gidday pluckky, exciting build mate, coming together quite nicely, Jeffrey is a perfectionist, the whole team take great pride in their work, nice girls too.👍👌🙏🦘

[@Day_Tripper39]

How think is the aluminum shell plate? Is it all the same thickness? What's going to happen when Mr. Shell Plate runs into Mr. Bommie in the San Blas Islands.

[@SAILINGintoFREEDOM]

Mr bombie sad...very very sad

[@trentdelancy3130]

Looking good plucky. Keep up the good work.

[@stevecrombie5357]

I hope you have your exit plan laid out Plukky. Someday someone is gonna hand you a bill. 😳 Top stuff.

[@SAILINGintoFREEDOM]

I am a good runner. No plan just bare boat

[@RAMOakleyRN]

It’s all happening so very quickly now!

[@waynereiffenstein7153]

Always looking forward to your updates on this amazing build, Plukky...very pro Best wishes from Canada. (btw, have been rewatching some of your older videos of the monohull, and sharing) Cheers!

[@pierrefiore6933]

still amazed by the build speed!

[@markw6586]

Get well soon Plukky.😀

[@sailingelectricnauticat3853]

Looking Good Peter keep on making videos 😊

[@johnnybarbar7435]

Peter, Is the full equipment plan determined yet? Will there be an emergency generator for the chance that calm winds and exhausted batteries leads to a situation that endangers the cat or its passengers? PS, The hull build speed and quality is amazing.

[@SAILINGintoFREEDOM]

There isn't one. Can t afford it

[@guvmntout]

Absolute precision....wow!

[@ianh2674]

Perfect fit, best crew ever
