DIY Hard Bimini for Catamaran

[@atw98]

You and Zingaro are killing it. Your going to crush the La Vagabond very quickly. You sail safe you ask for assistance take on constructive comments and have no sign of arrogance. I know I know the world is great nothing bad ever happens and everyone is lovely. But your two channels are so refreshing good bad and ugly. I guess realistic un like a few channels now youtube is being crushed by sailing channels. Wishing you all the best and if you every get to the South Pacific give me a shout out you have free labour and home cooked meals. Thats if we are not off on our own adventures!

[@kikiwilliams2029]

Y’all are the coolest people I’ve ever not met

[@flpickleballpractice]

Billy is awesome. So many young guys are living life on a video game and cant change a light bulb. I have always felt if someone else can do it then I can do it for myself and you have that same spirit. P.S. I play your videos on my big screen because my Golden Retriever loves to watch Jetty.

[@thenarrator1984]

you guys are my top 3 youtube channels. i can tell you're working really hard at this and it comes through. much love.

[@thenarrator1984]

and you mention zingaro!! hes top 3 too! haha love james.

[@thenarrator1984]

and its better its lighter..you're on a spindrift! you want less weight! so all good

[@thenarrator1984]

those bubbles may have scared you but end results good

[@SneakyPeteNJ]

Very encouraging video to get me working on my boat and stop paying people to do the jobs I “think” I can’t take on. Thanks and safe travels

[@seanm8434]

Watch you and Zingaro. You guys are all great and living the dream!! Only difference is Zingaro would build that top on a beach somewhere with a drink and a cigar in his hand. Hahaha. Love you guys!!

[@Capt_Quint]

Whoa 3 uploads in a week. Awesome!! As a boater stuck in a Rhode Island winter, these are helping me get by till spring when I can pull the wrap off mine! Haha 😂

[@gregmiller1951]

I just love how you guys just go for it and tackle each project TOGETHER! Whether its perfect or not your learning as you go! You do it and go sailing!! Your youthful enthusiasm is awesome...wishing I could turn back 30 years! There are some pretend you tube sailors ( Abandon Comfort) who are in it for the bucks...I see you Two in it for the adventure! Keep safe, have fun, most importantly.. enjoy each moment together and sail on! Good job guys !

[@StreetTruckinTitan]

Good job on your hard bimini. So happy you followed Zingaro's lead.

[@rickharris5485]

I love these build videos or any kind of repair/maintenance video. That was a slick design and well executed fabrication. You guys are unstoppable. Have fun in the islands. Be safe.

[@Drizz52]

Good job looks like factory

[@masdbo]

James channel is fun to watch, I noticed you guys have the same boat too. Amazing how much his boat his changed since his trip started. He is very resourceful too.

[@cameronhenderson7124]

Wohoo!! So glad we could help you out at Fiberglass Florida!! Boat is looking great guys!!

[@scottpetrone6284]

For me this video has covered great subject matter. Retrofitting the boat with a Bimini was great to watch as you did it. Keep them coming. Have a great trip over the banks! Fair winds and following Seas... Bravo Zulu

[@davidhinson5010]

Can’t wait for more, hope you see the family.

[@wicked.orlando]

I give you both a lot of credit for all the work you do to keep the older boat running, also living on the water is extremely hard but it does have it's rewards, keep up the cool videos and stay safe out there...

[@flagal6053]

Totally Impressed! I didn't think you were going to start on the project so soon. You both are quite talented, great job! Be safe.

[@laurieswezey2867]

So unbelievably proud of you three😘❤️

[@nothanks9205]

If you don't already have a spare belt onboard I highly recommend it. That belt looks a little long in the tooth.

[@johngregor6133]

Love, love, love the DIY building and routine maintenance you two are doing...2-thumbs up!!

[@kenlynch6332]

A++ for Design, Ingenuity, & work Ethic . Would like to see the finished stainless frame work

[@chrishatton9235]

You two certainly aren't afraid of hard work. Great video!!

[@MyGlobe2025]

Dang you guys are industrious with your boat projects and maintenance... very motivating. Great video! Thanks for sharing.

[@samwhitehead7695]

Really great job you guys, Love your world and admire your friendship and Jetty working as supervisor, Keep up the great work, Regards Sam.

[@rachelferguson5283]

I love that you guys build everything and do your own maintenance and repairs. Very impressive!

[@apachewild4347]

You guys are a great couple

[@donaldcirlin4216]

Glad to see your trips to Starbucks paid off! Cups were perfect for your project.

[@Lonzo993]

I've had a few drinks, but Bimini would be a great pet name.

[@grandpajim329]

Looking GREAT! Always a good job when your HEART & SOUL are in it!!! HAPPY SAILING, !!!!!

[@Chris.from.1950]

Very cool, guys. I heard you on the On the Wind podcast, and thought I'd check you out here. I'm a small boat sailor, since I was a teenager. Just celebrated the 50th Anniversary of my 19th birthday! ;)

[@Tulasendlesssummer]

Thanks Chris!! We appreciate you checking us out and hope you enjoy our videos! Happy happy birthday!!! Hahaha we see what ya did there 😜 we hear the 51st anniversary of your 19th birthday is where the real celebration begins!!!

[@timogaleon1630]

You sure have been busy! Really good progress. Hope your weather window stays and you have an enjoyable, safe, sail to the Bahamas. We've got snow coming for the next 2 days (not heavy), so no boating this weekend....

[@jrogers7628]

Great project. Love that you guys are willing to do it yourself..Can't wait to see the bahamas..

[@BluePlanetTube]

Very creative and crafty partnership. Wish you happy weather windows. Thanks for sharing.

[@oldtimergoalie1]

Great job on the bimini! Amazing on how hard you both have been working to get your boat the way you want it. Now relax and enjoy your trip to the Bahamas.

[@mmmloki]

I thought you had the same boat as him,i hope you have better luck with YOUR rudders than he has been having,love both yall videos! Hey JETTY!!!!

[@fxpthl]

Damn that turned out great! You kids are very clever and it would appear that all got done in time for that weather window. Bravo! So looking forward to your next postings. BTW, I hope Jetty was sitting upwind from all of that dust you were creating during the sanding process! Knowing how much you love her, I'm sure she was safe!

[@mrdave22]

good vid, thumbs up, looking forward to the Bahamas and maybe seeing Sierra's family in future vids

[@caddyzig]

You’re finding lots of creative new camera angles! The bimini turned out so nice. Love it. Safe travels to the Bahamas! You guys are so positive and awesome. Can’t wait to see the videos from your trip.

[@bmr4106]

The resourcefulness of you two amazes me. Travel safe.

[@gilahodge246]

Good luck! You worked so hard and it looks wonderful!! We can’t wait to hear and see all about your next adventure!!

[@OverlandSea]

Nice job you two, love that you show us how things can go wrong but you still remedy them (Bubbles).

[@tomscott3939]

all of the effort will be appreciated for years of shade and power from the solar panels. good job! be safe thanks for posting.

[@rwg2626]

Excellent work Billy and Sierra, great episode, hi Jetty

[@Tulasendlesssummer]

Thanks Rob!!!

[@gtags1]

You two are amazing, there's no project you won't take on! Have a great sail!

[@spinnaker5514]

Bill, you did a great job on that top! Looks really professional from the video. In the video you said you were putting non-skid on the top of it so you can walk up there if you had to. That one piece of foam with some fiberglass on it will support you weight without cracking or breaking??? Amazing. Another great video and you guys make it look easy too! Thanks!

[@LoriMels1]

I might consider using core-plas for the inner support rather than foam, it's more rigid and just as light. Love your blogs! Hi Jetty!🐶⛵️

[@irishtino1595]

Nice job guys. I've been watching your vids for over a year and always find them interesting.

[@BushImports]

Good going there guys, it looks like you two got a good workout on that project. Have a safe trip and enjoy yourselves.

[@bobn1378]

Is there anything you can’t do? Great idea! It looks really nice. Fair winds and following seas!

[@papocintron6420]

Great video keep us up to date on the trip to the Bahamas. Love your blogs

[@bill4nier]

Looks good! Fair wins. 😍😍⛵⛵⛵⛵⛵⛵⛵⛵⛵⛵⛵⛵⛵⛵⛵😊👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@gogs1468]

Great video, good job with the Bimini, the canvas is a brilliant idea.

[@garyfreeman8523]

You Guys are awesome, handy, crafty, creative and resourceful. Great vid.

[@MrGbutter]

Looks like it all turned out super. You sure made me tired with all the work you both did, fantastic job.

[@trevorscroft]

Super love the diy episodes!

[@MsRandiCook]

Good job McGiver and McGiver-et!

[@jamesbulldogmiller]

NICE WORK!! that top matches the boat's lines very well!

[@skipperup]

Peel Ply, thanks, I like it and will try it next time. now for the dreaded "ya should of's" i buried DC wires under the glass for dome lights which work awesome! Made my supports out of PVC and hot glued plastic flanges with proper angle on both ends, that way it was one trip to the fabricator and he just had to copy my PVC ones. Nice job!

[@johnhartley3596]

Wow. Good for you. Thanks for the sneak peak. You look relived.

[@connordawson5089]

I love yall's videos!Thanks so much for posting them.

[@JCAJCA3]

Wonderful video. Excited to see the finished product and those Bahama waters! GOD bless. JC

[@49dodgeguy]

Don't worry about me here in Canada,,,,with lake effect snow pouring down at the moment,,, I was born in the wrong country !!!! Nice jobs guys,,,, All the best to you,,,

[@paulkube3901]

Kudos on the bimini. Looks fine and should work well. Best to you both.

[@Ghillie30m1]

Wow loved this video. Great idea putting roof over your head! Have safe travels. Always look forward to your videos. Wear sun screen and chap stick. Cheers

[@tlowe2502]

[@DSjockey]

Fantastic project, I'm really impressed with how it turned out

[@alphasxsignal]

You two are always up to something!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Marine store says OH here they come again. They are building something. Is Billy using a CAD program or just his Brain. Maybe Sunbrella top. Hardtop looks nice.

[@jrlowery5372]

The top looks great

[@dtonvista]

The last clip made the work look , I hope your going to show more of the final work you did to show the installation.

[@dtonvista]

look really good

[@mikeprince5459]

Thought about a similar project on my Wellcraft CC. Coosa Composites has some really nice material. Check it out instead of using wood for future projects. Wife and I love the vids! You guys have inspired us to take some short trips on the ICW. Keep up the good work!

[@kendude8089]

Nice work Guys ☺

[@stevenmurphy9041]

great job bimini looks sweet

[@chuckhoover5269]

[@davidayres195]

Jim Fisher I

[@mickmccrohon]

Nice solution guys. I am thinking of doing pretty much what you have done on my Crowther 11 meter cat. I think you will put a window in it so you can see the main... I did on my sunbella brimini.

[@traumagas123]

Just a Question, I love the Idea of the lip for rain water !! What about a Drain hole that could have a nice small hose connection to direct the water to Holding tank ? Great Job....

[@beeamerican3767]

great video great job you really know what you're doing and I knew it wasn't going to be easy but it really looks good y'all did a fantastic job why is it when they say you're not supposed to look at the welding it makes you want to look that much more

[@jacklabloom635]

Great video. Stay safe on the trip.
