After watching the Ruby Rose build for the past year (Seawind 1390) it is VERY interesting to see a side of a company that isn't all sunshine and roses. Seriously - missing and weak window struts and that thru-hull?!! I think you are taking the issues with a lot of grace by not completely bashing them. Really enjoying seeing you back on the water and looking forward to all the future episodes.

Ruby Rose appeared to be in bed with Seawind going way back to their farce “Catamaran reviews”. It was predictable watching Nick get seasick on the voyage of hull one. Of course you’re going to get sick sitting in the back, and looking THROUGH the cabin watching the boat pitching up and down. It like sitting in the back of the van in the mountains.

Why did Saw Wind not provide the gas struts? Should that be a warranty issue? I am an RV owner and my new travel trailer had gas struts under the bed that came off (not well attached), and others have just died all within the warranty period. Still waiting to see if manufacture will warranty those issues Si far the warranty is only words on paper.

I remember when I was a kid on my dad‘s old 1940 Wheeler, it had a forward window with brackets on each side that you could control the window opening. They were merely flat metal with several notches for adjustment. The boat is probably gone now, but I bet the brackets are still working. Get rid of the stuff that breaks and go back to old school technology.

I really think you should of mounted the grill as far away from the arc as you could get. The heat from the grill lid might burn or discolor the arc. It just doesn't seem very safe having a grill with a high heat level that close to any fiberglass structure. I would of turned the grill on high before mounting it to the lid to see how much radiant heat it's going to produce.
