This Ocean-Crossing Catamaran Rebuild Just Got Very Exciting.

[@matthewmetcalf7271]

I don’t think I’m alone in saying - WELL DONE!!!! Doesn’t feel like 16 months, enjoyed being on the virtual journey with you. Can’t wait to see your next sailing adventures.

Well done! A catamaran is a good choice for anchoring! Also very seakindly.

What a lovely ending showing your Mom. Funny thing. I am a 70 year old world cruiser in Malaysia. I watch a lot of Utube in my spare time. Many different subjects. Yours is my hands down favorite. I have watched you from the beginning. Good on you Mark. May the power be with you

@kimphilley621 such a lovely & kind message 🤗⛵️🤗

[@user-nl9xt9ww4f]

Mark, I followed you from the beginning and I have to say that I was extremely skeptical when I first saw this boat. But I have watched your perseverance, you develop your skills, and seek quality assistance when you needed it. You have turned your yacht into a stunning example of what a Wharram can be. Take pride, you deserve it!

[@dennisbudd8102]

I'm one of th0se who questioned your sanity when you first bought your boat but now I have to say...........well done. I wish you luck and I'm looking forward to your future adventures.

Agreed, when I first saw the boat I said it was a scrapper! (what do I know?)

Very nice job with the means at hand

[@MrPeerBonnemann]

Hello: When you have drilled a hole in a sanwit's construction, you should fill the hole with marine-grade epoxy resins. The hole you have made must be oversized, so you have ensured that water does not enter your construction. What you get is a "plug" that sticks and shuts off moisture, and you can drill the right size hole. If it is something that really has to last for a long time, there should be a plate on the back

[@davidstiglitz4341]

I can't believe it's been 16 months. Brilliant job. like you, I can't wait for the sailing adventures to begin. Amazing effort.

[@vg4413]

What a nice surprise! Thank you! You can be proud for sure! I remember your first steps on the boat and I am so glad so many people stepped up to help you along the way. I hope you can fine tune your rig and go sailing as much as you want for the rest of the summer.

Held up by a boom, erm, a broom! 😉👍

[@tonic8945]

Well done mate you deserve the lifestyle you're starting on, fair winds and calm seas.

[@kiwi6444]

When you drill holes you should seal the wood with two pac glue before putting the ss bolts or fittings in with sikaflex, that way if moisture does make its way in under the sikaflex it wont soak into the wood.

[@suzettecalleja3122]

I am soo looking forward to two weeks to see the sails up and the boat come alive. I always watch till the very end. I don't want to miss anything. ❤🎉

You need to build a small cab to keep you out of the weather and the sun if you don't have an AUTO PILOT and must hand steer for long periods. Your boat looks really cool.

[@nealeburgess6756]

Unlike some of the other commenters, I have loved your boat from the begining. You sold me on the concept of the Warham before you found yours. And I was confident this was a good project right from the first time you showed it to us. You wouldn't believe how happy I am so see her sailing. Still just a small begining, but I'm looking forward to good times ahead!

[@Ron-dx9wq]

Put the tiller bar underneath the tabs instead of on top. Top-heavy solved! Davits for the dinghy!

[@mikeskelly2356]

Mount a pulley to Port and starboard just a few inches forward of the Tiller Bar and you can run the steering lines parallel to the Bar, giving both easier steering and clearance for the 'Decking' you need for Solar. Attaching the lines to the Bar with Stainless springs will take up any stretch while allowing the rudders to 'flex' independent of the wheel, reducing wear and Pilot fatigue... Also, don't neglect to apply 'Dielectric Grease' on all 'push on' and screw connections to prevent corrosion... There's 'Pretty and functional' and there's 'Functional', both work the same, one just requires serving your guests liberal amounts of genever before a tour of the boat! 🥳

[@brentsumner6422]

It's cool everyone is saying what a great job you done. But dude, the best thing you do is show your sorta bad ideas and cockups, we all have plenty of those but don't want others to see, you make it real man, I love it

[@jlmbradshaw3619]

I think that the boom is necessary to keep the proper tension on the sail and prevent so much fluffing as well as unnecessary stress on the sail.

[@Bitoric]

in the us we call those bolts shoulder bolts, threaded bolt with a shoulder with no threads for the actual mating points

[@KarimAouissi]

So much has been achieved, I can’t wait to see a descent cockpit cover and the boat finally painted!

[@daveamies5031]

Thought I could hear Mary in the background and then you spun the camera around to show her, glad to see your parents getting some more time with you at anchor. The short clip of you sailing really shows why you need the wishbone boom for the main, probably quicker to make one with aluminium rather than wood, at this stage you just need it good enough to get you underway 👍Congrats on getting the sails up 🎉 and even better in the time frame you planned 👍

Fantastic how you have created a living breathing entity through hard work and lots of support in various ways. Thanks SO much for the little sailing snip. Although I look forward to your Weekly videos I fully understand how much of your valuable time the editing must take. Time more suitably spent splitting that beam to make your solar supports and stuff like that, time you would not have if you needed to make wages. Love watching your progress, thanks SO much for sharing it with us all.

[@captainsensible298]

you definitely need a boom and a traveller, boom to be able to adjust the clue tension on the main sail foot, called outhaul, a traveler to be able to adjust the sheeting angle across the boat of the main sail sheet. Also need to be able to adjust the tension of the mainsail luff (mast track side) by a sheet called a cunningham from the mainsail tack to the deck at the base of the mast. Well done by the way.
