⛵️ The TENSE MOMENT of flipping our 43ft aluminum sailboat!! 🤯Ep.350

[@OddLifeCrafting]

This week we didn't have time to make subtitles because we just finished editing the video. We'll be doing that little by little during this week 😉 Esta semana não tivemos tempo de fazer legendas pois acabamos de finalizar a edição do vídeo. Vamos fazer a legenda aos poucos durante esta semana 😉 Esta semana no tuvimos tiempo de hacer subtítulos ya que recién terminamos de editar el video. Hagamos el subtítulo poco a poco esta semana 😉

Just watched Delos 2.0 flip in Australia.

Incredibly described . Kisses to Oli❤

[@stevejobe9888]

First, congratulations on the new son! He's adorable!! Second, never, ever apologize for a having a soft heart for your child and your wife, for this is the mark of a good man, Duca!!

[@JuPac420]

Being a father is the best part of my entire life, I know that feeling, and it’s wonderful!!

[@OddLifeCrafting]

🥰

[@daveamies5031]

100% true, after all the struggles, I'm so happy Duca became a Dad and Roberta a Mum 🎉

[@Zabessa]

Totally the best feeling ever. I call it "being hit by the love train". Many congrats you you and mama!

[@davidnichols147]

Ducca, Roberta & Ollie: love this episode, so exciting to see your dreams flipped. Proud Papa.

[@charleneschmidt1920]

Congratulations to mommy and daddy! Nothing ever to be sorry about when it comes to family. Everything is coming together and looking great

[@gillesgomez3091]

Thank you so much for uploading this great video. I think we all understand you both will spend as much time as possible with Oli. His first days/weeks/months will be precious moments to spend with your son. Don't miss them. Videos can wait a bit, can't they? Anyway, I'm surprised Meta lets you filming so much of the process of building your boat. Usually, technicians don't like much to have their customers "on their back"! As a "technician", I definitely don't! Fortunately, it seems the Meta team is pretty open minded and thanks to them we all can watch these amazing videos. Félicitations à tous les 3 🙂

[@rickkyriakopoulos1103]

That was beautiful what you said about your baby boy, that you were talking to him in the womb. I did the exact thing 40 years ago with my son Elliot !! And when he was born I talked to him and he smiled from ear to ear !! You just brought tears to my eyes brother. Congratulations it only gets better !! And great job mommy !!

[@EdwardTilley]

You describe newborn bonding very well. When a newborn takes the finger of his father, the baby creates a bond that will last for a lifetime. You will often see doctors or nurses very anxious to ensure that parents get the chance to make this bond as soon as possible.

[@geraldhenrickson7472]

To be fair... much, if not most, of the manufacturing and repair industry traditionally NEVER never allows anyone to hover over anything they do. Many craftsmen really do not like it one bit. There are liability, communication and emotional issues involved. Your disappointment is obvious yet this companies latitude with his issue thus far has been pretty incredible. Stuff happens, its the way it is.

[@SteifWood]

Your right, yet we have watched the media involvement of the builders of Delos 2 and how Brian and Kaza actually are part of the hull build, though they also had some "problems" when scheduling the flip at a certain time. Maybe build as Plukky does: Freedom will never be flipped as those Vietnamese welders works just as good up side down.

[@Ibh111142]

Also watching welding is a little like watching grass growing

[@princeangel3580]

@@SteifWoodstrongal is the technic of META, its their way to create bullet proof boat (Joshua from famous french sailor) they have to flip it

[@pietrobarili4906]

They didn’t warn you because probabily they don’t want you to stay there… instead of complaining about poor communication you should feel their need and do not go there filming every step!

[@mael6834]

As a machinist and welder I can tell you I'd rather have my toenails pulled out rather than have someone film or watch me work. A lift that large is hairy enough without spectators.

[@PeterStrand-pd7gs]

No words, so profound. Congratulations

[@melinda5777]

Your a great Dad already Duca!❤ Not all Father's/ Husband's take time with their child while still in Mommy/Roberta/Wife❤! You had me teary-eyed too!❤❤ My Heart is full for ALL THREE OF YOU!!! ❤❤🥰 I wish, well, the boat...... 🎉 GOD BLESS ALL THREE OF YOU! ✝️🙏❤️❤️🥰

I enjoy your videos, but your family comes first. I am extremely happy for you all.

CONGRATULATIONS to you, your beautiful wife and a very special welcome to your new son, GOD BLESS each of you.

[@californiakayaker]

Wow, congratulations, your child is amazing ! And the finished edges on your hull are so beautiful. Congrats to both of you.

[@pedropenduco3180]

I have never known anybody who could accurately describe that instant bond between a new born baby and it's parents. It is wonderful, enriching and a little bit scary. I wish the three of you all the joy in the World. Congratulations.

[@jamesvanian5524]

Such an interesting video to watch. Spend as much time as you can with your family. We all understand that. Keep well and safe. James.

[@namastenicholas]

I am a long-time subscriber and want to congratulate you Duca and you Roberta for providing all of us with such a wonderful channel. I also want to congratulate you both for your new baby boy. All of us fathers can remember our first experience with our sons right after birth and there are no words that can describe the miracle of birth. Good luck with everything.

[@OddLifeCrafting]

Thank so so much for you kind words my friend!! They mean a lot to us! 🥰

[@thommeyer6356]

Wonderful coverage of the progress on ODD. So excited to see what comes next!

[@hochung01]

Thank you Ducca for taking time off from being a dad. I think we understand how you feel along with Roberta. Thanks for the updates and progress. Stay well and healthy to you all.

[@spudgossie]

Can't believe the welders have no fresh air supply or extraction system for all those fumes :-0

[@gsm_000]

It's a really nice footage of the flip! So much progress into a single video!

Congratulations to you both on the birth of your son 🎉 When the boat was upside down, you could see the great shape of the hull. Excellent episode.

Between your build and Delos 2.0 an aluminum hulled boat is looking more and more attractive!

Congratulations! New baby and new boat!

[@BreakingWavesSailing]

Wow guys this is looking great!!! Congrats!

[@OddLifeCrafting]

Thanks a lot guys! Been watching your last videos with my stomach on my mouth. Glad it seems some how you guys managed to get out. It must be tough. 🥲

[@richardnwilson]

The boat looks beautiful and they look like doing a good job. I'm glad I don't have to spend an entire day, day after day welding and grinding though.

[@davidascher1801]

Luca! The best feeling in a young dad's life when you and your son recognize each other... Wonderful to see ODD Flip into life and shaping up so nicely.

[@astronorthwet636]

That’s really a different looking design. It will be great to see what it looks like in the water.

[@raphaelsampaiotrad]

Que obra de arte!. Parabéns lindofeio!

[@PeteLenz]

I’m so excited for you at the progress on the boat! It’s going to be beautiful!! And your son = magnificent!!❤

[@onkelsvenner]

Take alle the time you want with Olli, especially the first moths are so precious!

[@jeffreyhenderson6293]

Great video!!!!! I think the second flip was better than the first flip, we got to see the completed hull shape!!!! Congrats on your son, spend as much time as possible with your family, the videos can wait and we can always catch up on the boat!!!!

[@blueclue57]

I am really impressed by the work of this company, from the little welding details to the spot-on logistics that you describe. I haven't been watching the Delos build, but I can't imagine that it is anything close to the professionalism of Meta.

[@brokerhc]

The Delos build is just as professional as META. There is no room for sloppy jobs in this type of construction.

[@clivestainlesssteelwomble7665]

The Delos build flipped in this weeks episode it two cranes one a big lifter and the other to drag it out. The lift was from two bow fixings so that was end over end rotation rather than a sideways roll. So they had to have it outside hanging and rotating.. then lowered deck up and pulled back inside on dollys. 🧙🏼‍♂️👍🏼

[@kencooper7208]

Is this an example of the much recognized French worker arrogance? I get the feeling that they are sabotaging you Duca. The crew working on the Delos build are friendly and playful and willing to teach. This Meta team ha. . . not wanting to be filmed doing the job they are being paid to do. @blueclue57 you have a limited imagination. Start watching Delos and you will instantly see who the professionals are in this regard. And it's not just a language barrier. Those guys are pricks, they have seen Duca there filming from a distance, always, and how could they be so ignorant of what his audience might get a kick out of seeing to not let him in on such a milestone in the construction. I feel your frustration.

[@bradbailey3235]

Congrats on the birth of your child. Welcome to parenting. It is a wonderful journey.

Be happy, it’s probably the only time a task gets done early during the build.

Duca, being a husband and a father is the greatest of honors. Every time you put them first you have my and many more like me supporting you. Love is the most powerful, the most fundamental , the most glorious thing in existence. Live it , enjoy it but never apologies for it… You are doing well…

[@AbelFernandez-dz8xx]

Un abrazo y por acá feliz de todo su avance y proceso😊

[@ctown6971]

They did the flip time change on purpose. Just so you couldn't watch them, possibly screw the flip up on camera and make them look bad.

[@keithhall9298]

No, American - always some other agenda so cultural -

[@Tachyon62]

Duca , happiest day of my life was when my son Brandon was born. That was 39 hears ago now. Time flies when you're having fun. 2nd happiest day of my life was when my grand children were born. TWINS !!! Never thought I would experience that level again in my life .. but I've been blessed with this again. Question in see all this flipped boats and you may have covered this in a past episode ... but why no bow thruster? Now would be the perfect time to ... if nothing else, install the structural opening.

[@timothymattson3680]

Impressive scale of build . I’ve been around a few 1000 new builds and even had small part in a family business building aluminum trucks for Alaska’s North Slope . Some things about aluminum hulls are hard to overcome. The corrosion needs to be prevented rather than accepted. Epoxy Primer everything. Bedding compound for anything attached and line fasteners with Sikaflex / Lanacote. Even sign vinyl will protect the expensive Alum but best to sand , etch , prime with no prep done unless primer going on within 24 hours . Don’t allow “self-etch “ primer . Vacuum sand 80 grit and hand sand edges/ corners. Don’t paint over SS if it touches Aluminum. Learned this wrenching on Outboards. Another thing on Alum hulls , they transfer noise easily. Closed cell foam will help and keeps condensation down which was learned the hard way by houseboat owners I knew who had 40’ hulls welded , then built narrow houses on top . They had wet walls from their own breath. We also flipped 30’ boats with 8-10 guys , usually a few stood on gunnel to slow the fall onto tires . The welders can weld a lift hook for the crane hook then cut it off later . Precious metal will go up in $, I used to tell (ex) wife and boat customers. Our hull bought at $1 / lb. now costs $4/ lb.to build. I hope it doesn’t get too heavy at end .

That was awesome.

[@baciluskus]

First of all I would like to congratulate you on your beautiful baby, who is absolutely amazing. I wish you much joy and few worries... But what surprises me is that they don't use a pressure vent in the mask when welding, because inhaling fumes when welding aluminium is very very dangerous.
