[@Hancox0852]

Wilda is now looking even more sleek and sophisticated.

[@buildingwilda]

Sweet! Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts!

[@DVolvoguy777-x7o]

End of the tunnel is getting closer. Beautiful.

[@buildingwilda]

Yes, isn’t it? It feels great! Thanks for your comment. Hope you come back next Sunday!

[@kptbillburkett8735]

All I can say is WOW! She looks Fantastic! Great work! Can't wait to see her on splash day. What a Sight it will be! Thank You for this video 📹. Until next time, Aloha from the Big Island of Hawaii! Cheers 🍻 and Aloha

[@buildingwilda]

Wow! Aloha! Thanks for the comment! Awesome to know we have fans in Hawaii! Would love to travel there one day!

[@normanboyes4983]

Well who on earth could not be impressed by the outcome - fantastic result.😀⛵️👍

[@buildingwilda]

Thanks 👍

[@philkakid5617]

I love the style of Wilda. I know she is a kit boat, but so many catamarans now have a very boxy house and I find that extremely unattractive. You are doing a great job on the detailing of everything. She is going to be absolutely stunning in the water.

[@buildingwilda]

Thanks for the lovely feedback! ❤️⛵️

[@latitudeash]

Wow, the transformation is spectacular….

[@PeteGerard-p2f]

Gobsmacked! I'm totally GOBSMACKED! No one who hasn't done this type of work could possibly appreciate the amount of effort it takes to get a satisfying result and then multiply that by 10x to get any where close to perfection. I'm staggered by both the effort you guys put into this and the quality of your work. I used to do this professionally more than 30yrs ago so I know the endless hours involved, the kg's of dust you eat and breath, the aching arms, chest, shoulders, back, legs as you do your best to get a section straight and smooth. We called those long sanding boards "torture boards" and very few guys would last even one day on a torture board. You guys have done it all yourselves! I don't know if you personally realize what a miracle team you are, to even stay married through all that sanding and dust everywhere, the endless broken timelines... My god you guys are fantastic! More to the point your masterpiece is looking more and more amazing with each video! Amazing! Impressive and totally Inspirational! Well done guys! And thank you for continually sharing 🏆🏆

[@buildingwilda]

Thank you sooo much for this beautiful comment! It is very encouraging and humbling! This means a LOT to us, especially coming from someone as experienced as you are! This is probably the most appreciative comment we’ve ever received since we started this channel! We hope we keep the good work coming and we hope we’ll make the videos better and better! One sweet day we’ll be out there on the water, showing Wilda to the world! 🙌🍾🥂⛵️❤️🙏 THANK YOU again!

[@PeteGerard-p2f]

@@buildingwilda Thanks for your reply. You're very welcome and everyone knows you deserve it 😃 Keep up the great work🍻

[@nickviner1225]

Vary well done to you all. I know just how much work has gone into that boat. ( I was a boat builder before I retired eleven years ago. Super job.

[@buildingwilda]

Awesome! Thanks so much!

[@rhyslightning3379]

WOW! Congratulations Guys - I'm already seeing you both relaxing in that cockpit with a nice drink in hand 😄 What a transformation indeed!

[@buildingwilda]

Thanks! Yeah! Pretty big change for sure! Never could have guessed it would take this long though!

[@patrickabas1112]

she is becoming a beauty, well done

[@buildingwilda]

Thanks for the sweet comment!

[@woosh073]

The white , gray and red combo looks gorgeous. I can't wait to see it in the water. Keep up the great work

[@buildingwilda]

Nor can we! Thanks! We're hoping it will look a little lighter in the open. Then she'll show her colours for real! Hope you stick around for more!

[@bluedogozwoofer6737]

another interesting video

[@buildingwilda]

Glad you think so! Thanks. Sometimes it is a bit too much of the same, but that is just how it is.

[@pauld9530]

Looks amazing

[@buildingwilda]

Glad you think so! We put a lot of work and time into it!

[@geoffhurwitch2131]

Amazing transformation. I joined in about halfway through and even then your progress is impressive. Great work. Hopefully you get to launch the boat and enjoy your efforts for years to come.

[@buildingwilda]

Awesome! Thank you! Sure, we’ll definitely launch her one sweet day! See you next Sunday!

[@robertlaird6746]

Thanks 👍 Thanks Steve! And thanks for the help!

[@CaptR.B.]

Looks awesome! Great job!

[@buildingwilda]

Glad to know you like her! Thanks so much! Hope to see tou next Sunday for more boat progress!

[@kevinmartin3859]

Wilda is looking everything a super cat what a transformation in the years you have had her congratulations to you both the only thing im asking will you be having a second steerage position inside the cabin for those when the weather turns funny or emergency steering she will look great on the water well done see you next week 😊😊😊

[@buildingwilda]

Only one wheel, but yes, the autopilot will be set up inside as well. When it comes to emergency steering, very little can go terribly wrong with the type of steering she has, mechanical push pull cable, and the bits that are most likely to fail can be replaced fairly easily and quickly. We plan on adding tiller(s) eventually.

[@Chris-NZ]

One word “awesome” , cheers from across the ditch , maybe we’ll see you one day 😀

[@buildingwilda]

Thanks! 🤩 Fingers crossed! 🤞

[@ericd7975]

Great work. Long hard slog, but you are getting there

[@buildingwilda]

Too long🤣 But yes, we're finally seeing real progress!

[@RoseTabone]

👍👍👍👍👍

[@buildingwilda]

Thanks

[@larslindberg7417]

Bra jobbat Axel, när ska sätta henne i sjön?

[@buildingwilda]

Tack Lasse! Har börjat utrusta så smått, nu blir det en tur hemåt, sedan tillbaka på jobbet i juli. I höst kommer hon äntligen i sjön. Hade aldrig kunnat tänka mig att det skulle ta sådan tid!

[@timothydunn5889]

Can someone please explain to me the engineering of the front transverse spar. To my eye, the diagonal stays should be below the spar, with the tabernackle pointing downwards, like a truss. I know that this is not how it is done though. The only way that I can see that Wild's setup works is that the tension on the diagonal stays forces the tack point downwards, against the lifting moment of the forestay. Is that it?

[@buildingwilda]

No problem The forestay is pulling up on the center of the beam. A rope stretched between the ends of the beam and over the triangle on top of the beam resists this upward force. Tension in the rope pushes down, through the triangle onto the beam. Tension increases, opposing increasing upward force in the forestay. The triangle is sometimes called a seagull striker. The rope, a martingale. I think that is what you wrote in the end of your comment. Please go ahead and ask away, we don't mind answering if we're can. Hope you enjoy the videos and stay around for more! We'll be getting into the outfitting stage real soon.

[@timothydunn5889]

@@buildingwilda Thanks for your comprehensive reply. I didn't expect you to answer, as I thought one of your viewers night have responded. I am sure you have plenty of more important things to be doing! You are both doing a fantastic job, and I genuinely hope that you can maintain your energy and committment for the final sprint.

[@buildingwilda]

No worries. We try to read everything and reply if we can. We really enjoy getting all sorts of input from people watching. Thanks for watching!

[@carlpetersen3128]

Looking good. Quit the transformation.

[@buildingwilda]

Thanks, trying really hard to! 🙌

[@latitudeash]

Professional filler and sanders….😂🤣
