Unveiling The ULTIMATE WORKSHOP (in EUROPE!) | EE 143

[@jakobtheinventor]

I am an engineer. May I suggest that you build the hardtop and the davids together as two long sides can be extended to easily carry the dinghy. One of the advantages is that you distribute the load on the boat. A david alone carries pretty high loads on the boat due to torsion around the mounting plates. I am sure your boat cannot handle this as it is a standard production boat. If you need help on how to do and design it, let me know. I'll be happy to assist you.

[@giles-df9yu]

You are correct, too build a design mock up it would be better to use foam core and hot glue gun

[@paulstephens5229]

How weird I have just been going over your repair videos from the start. And now you’re at it again, I just love the enthusiasm and energy you guys approach/ attack a new project with. Nothing seems to be to much, you roll up your sleeves and just go.

[@davidcollins2282]

Excited to watch you two building again! Looks like an awesome project, interested to see how it unfolds. Great CAD skills 🎉

[@arnaldotav6709]

As an infantry veteran, I learn to say yes when people want to help me. I'm super independent, but when you are in another country, hospitality is everything. Let them help you and build new friendships. I love you guys, stay safe.

[@anthonyelam2257]

I feel you both building a great cover for the sailboat ... a custom build that only will fit what you want and no more fabric to go bad again ... this will greatly make a less stressful time during a storm ...❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊 ...

[@relevart7991]

Don't forget to consider the lateral forces , exerted by the dinghy with motor attached under sail.

[@oschonrock]

yeah... more triangles than I saw in the CAD will be important

[@ExposingReflections]

Wow. Another great video. Glad to see you're both doing well. Lumber frame and poly to cordon off your section from others dust and reduce your fiberglass dust from difusing throughout the rest of the place? You probably have it under control already. Bench for paperwork and supplies. The first 20 minutes of the epic adventure was great. I'll keep going back for more, and it will take a month, but it's fantastic so far, and I've been following for a long while. I'm never disappointed. Love the knowledge you gain and pass on to us LandLubbers. One day....one day.... Thanks very much.

[@richardmorton1310]

Happy New Year! I am looking forward to the boat projects as I miss Jade's work way back when Brett was still a commercial pilot.

[@richardmorton1310]

And not to diss Brett, in the beginning, it was more Jade than Brett, but I've warmed to him too!

[@stevecrombie5357]

Jade, ninja princess! Another big project. You two are really experienced in so many ways now. You also have got an amazing number of subscribers now. Good work. I caught some of the great adventure when you released it and I'm watching the rest in 20 minute segments. Stay safe and thanks for sharing. ❤🙏

[@grubbypaws3566]

Hello, happy new year, you may be going to do it anyway but a couple of thoughts, make a mould so the side stays are the same, and make a giant tent with a frame and cover with ‘Poly-mask’ it’s what is used in paint spraying to mask up. It’s really light and is cheap it will stop ‘imported dust, contain your dust and allow you to control the air temp when curing. 😄👍🇬🇧

[@brianthomas3465]

So glad yall are back. Its probably sad to people but my life is better when I see yall are ok and doing great. Love you guys ❤

[@tomlpdx]

Good luck with your projects! Perhaps you can set up one of those collapsible canopies that has removable sides to set up a dust free fiber glassing area when needed.

[@ExpeditionEvans]

This is a GREAT idea!

[@jillianswaine4298]

So excited to see this new project! Customized, complex, and new learning!

[@matolius]

So happy to back to watching you guys build and scheme and plan.

[@lorileeolmsted3869]

Very excited for you guys! Nothing like “home” improvement projects right? 😂. Glad you were able to get the good masks this time around. Last time around was during Covid if I recall. Regarding Penny & Dingo’s paws…there are some really wonderful paw balms out now. I found that the ones made with beeswax are the best. Might be handy to have on the boat anyway as a 🐾🐾 first aid item.

[@Pierobon]

No question here. You guys are so cute, your boat is awesome, Let’s!!!

[@dwk5234]

Will look forward to every episode, thanks!

[@Charlie-Oooooo]

Very very excited for you guys to be creating/building again!!! Def a different skillset from ocean trekking! TBH i have yet to watch marathon video but i can't come to grips that your 3rd half has moved on to new adventures :-( She really made the crossing a special journey ❤

[@annewinning9723]

Love how you guys attempt to work smarter not harder…… this next build chapter should be interesting - off to watch your premier - well the last 2 hrs. Happy New Year to the 4 of you.

[@SirCarlosMusicBMI]

YES 🙌 THAT LAST video you guys did was absolutely awesome 👏. I know that you probably spent many days editing and thinking about what you were going to post and it came out wonderful. So glad to be able to spend time with you on your journeys. Blessings,Carlos ✝️🙏❤️😊🇺🇸 Btw , I did watch the entire video and loved remembering the past.

[@jimgarvin9159]

Welcome Back. Can’t wait for this new chapter to start. Love Y’all. Once Again Ya’ll are Rocking it.

[@jonathangiesler1092]

Have you considered having a viewing window through your hardtop so you can see your sails?

[@ExpeditionEvans]

Yes, we haven't decided one way or the other yet. We currently have a window but we almost always look around the side anyway, so we're thinking we might want to use all available space for solar.

[@sherriemetcalf7120]

I just love being included in all your adventures around the world with the pups! Whether it’s sailing, learning new things, building, or experiencing new cultures with you, I’m grateful! Got to say though, I’m worried for you about pirates 🏴‍☠️ 😮

[@DanielTiffany-o8i]

Peel Ply is wonderful it leaves a closer to finished surfaces and is gratifying to pull off the project.

[@waltervanderboor]

Happy to see you start the project. Yes extend because hoisting a dingy it starts in the water and it’s a pain if your Davies are too short. It’s a lot of work, but well worth it. Make sure you make windows to see your sails. Or better small hatches. We had trouble getting our Bimini roof through the marina gate.. check if you have any hinders to reach the boat. Love seeing your progress.

[@blueboxexteriorcleaningser8014]

Good luck guys Your Atlantic crossing was epic 😎

[@jessicagreen2351]

Excited for another project from you two! Selfishly glad you’re closer to real time for a project so maybe we can get a little more BTS on shorts and insta stories 🤞

[@jonathanscott550]

This will be an exciting episode's to watch. Doing work in a coop atmosphere will be interesting. I'm looking forward to the next video. Happy New Year.🎉🎉

[@jorjimaco5331]

Hi,,, I’ve stacked my solar panels. Doubled my solar in the same space. Only roll it out when at anchor. Works a treat.

[@mgs8747]

Peal ply is not hard. You can do it! Be Sure let that vacuum do its job. When I have used, fiberglass with carbon fiber, we cut out all the pieces first, and laid them in order so when we were laying them down in the epoxy, there was no question as to what was next. Best of luck I love watching you guys work you pretty amazing for amateur boat rebuilders. ❤

[@brianhoover5305]

You guys are awesome, love to see the adventure in your faces when starting a new project like this. Can't wait to watch and see how it comes out.

[@ur2288]

You guys should build a cheap frame and staple plastic sheets so you have a room in a room to avoid dust. You guys rock

[@westie4ageturbo.749]

I have been watching since you brought Eva Over the break i watched the crossing video and my partner came in ( she does not watch KZbin at all) She really enjoyed the video so we went back to the start and rewatched your episodes It was so much fun to binge watch all your episodes again and experience the highs and lows with you guys. We also get a kick from watching spear it animal and understand why you get on with those guys so well. Keep it up guys

[@roberthardy2013]

Definitely build a wood frame / plastic room, used to use these a lot in Disaster Recovery,even after 911 on LongIsland. You can incorporate an extraction fan as well. Sounds a great project to do ! Mock-ups are the way to go…

[@gregbaker6885]

Totally agree. It will be the only way to keep the dust out.

[@andrewthompson2380]

Definitely worth getting a harddodger fitted over main hatch and bit of cockpit I got one built for our Westerley Oceanlord it made huge contribution to comfort but even more for safety especially sailing in West coast Scotland doing some skipper charter work

[@wjhann4836]

Cardboard aided design - for me that's the perfect design - you see what you get.

[@sjuurd]

Yay for fiber work episodes! Good luck.

[@dreamingtree72]

It's going to be so fun following you build again! 🤗 I've been watching since episode one and it's really fun and inspiring. I hope you'll get everything you want done and that time and money won't be a problem! Take care! ✌️

[@andyntx75]

I am so glad you are doing this work on your boat. My boat needs the exact same improvements. This video gave me a little confidence I could do this job myself. Looking forward to your next video so I can see how you did it.

[@FlintJamison]

Super stoked about this. I'm a former engineer in the aerospace industry, plus I managed a composites shop. This is going to be a really fun series to watch. Fun fact: The 747 was designed with a lot of cardboard mock-ups back in the 60's.

[@danjeffrey1531]

I love this content about making something from foam and glass. Thanks!

[@Lonnwriting]

YIPPIE YOUR BACK. I missed you two. And I enjjoy repair remodel vids. Thank you both

[@gardenrailroading]

Cannot wait to see how the project comes along! It is a Very Good idea!

[@jbullforty-two]

Just re-subscribed to you. KZbin unsubscribed me. I check all the time to make sure I’m subscribed, but very recently I’ve noticed a bunch of channels I’m normally subscribed to have been unsubscribed. Looking forward to your new build and new adventures. Have been with you since very close to the beginning. Glad you have good PPE this time. Wishing you the best of luck and God Bless for the coming year!

[@DYoung-vt8pq]

Happy, healthy new year, Jade & Brett! Be safe ❤

[@CalmWatersLiving]

Love your passion and let's attitude. Have you considered the wind variable? What I mean is the wind resistance crated by the wide surface vs. the poles that are normally used. During normal, mild, or lite conditions, I see no challenge. However, as you've learned, it's the heavy storm conditions one needs to prepare for. Just thinking. You guys are doing fantastic work and a great inspiration. 😊

[@sailingnoboundaries]

Looking forward to seeing your arch project come to fruition.

[@BudaPeter]

Happy New Year! Great to see how well you have thought out and organized your project and that you found a great space for working. I hope you will also have time to see some of Barcelona, one of my favorite cities. Budapeter

[@seanhanlon5867]

Your welcome 👊🏻. The 4hr was a breeze, and after i'd finished watching it i couldnt believe it was that long..which is a testement the video editing, a real quality watch..congrats to you both and cant wait to get into the new build 👏👏😘

[@sheilasmyth7006]

Consider watching The Duracell Project as he does a lot of vacuum bagging. Also consider laminating the foam sheet before cutting the pieces as it makes setting up easier.

[@steveknight878]

Happy New Year, you two. Have a great and successful year! Good luck with the build - you got this.

[@reginabarrett51]

good luck guys!!! looking forward to your project!!!

[@Sharon-hn9wn]

Hey guys! Happy new year! Cheers 🥂. I’m looking forward to the new projects. 👍❤️

[@akneemoose3383]

We built everything with CAD! Love it ❤. My husband and I build all of our furniture….just the best. We do get compliments and we help others to create the visions they want. It’s a hobby he is an engineer, cowboy and Forest ranger. I’m an F/A marine biologist.

[@OttoSteiner98th]

It was nice to see a long video! Most of it I was watching and working on my sailboat at the same time

[@alanmcn17]

I am so pumped about this build.. very interested to see what you guys come up with and how it’s put together

[@Mark_Lawler]

Looking forward to this next fiberglassing project!!! Also loving this shorter format. Best...

[@martinmeyer1443]

On the Facebook side I predicted that I would really enjoy this latest update on the "re-imagening" of EVA, and I was 100% correct.😂 Tomorrow morning I start a new job after being out of work for 4 months...so as you guys set the good example of planning, diligence and hard work...I will try to do the same as we all try to make 2024 a great year for new adventures. Please be safe and have alot of fun!!🤩

[@jillianswaine4298]

All the best with your new job! 2024 is shaping up well!

[@yardarm5]

Marathon survivor, looking forward to watching the build. 🎉❤

[@arteepee]

Fantastic! Whoop whoop! So pumped to see this build progress. I will be glued to every episode! 🙂FYI I was one of those who watched the whole four hours of last weeks epic. Richard (UK)

[@MarkWMeehan]

Love this project! And the wonderful way you work together.

[@DanielLloyd-ve8sy]

Loved the marathon vid i had watched alot of the journey on the shorter vids but to see it all as one was awesome did it in 2 sittings :) cant wait to see this set of vids progress great work folks

[@wanderinghedge]

Should think about turning your sailing rig setup into a cutter to offer a number of options you can do for different wind strengths since you're adding the back for the solar power. It wouldn't make much sense adding a ketch or yawl sail to the back if you're adding the back roof like you are. I know a cutter sail rig is usually used for a wide variety of types of sailing but has the advantage of also being really efficient for oceanic crossings like what you did recently across the Atlantic. And also turning your sailing rig into a cutter wouldn't require too much modification because you still only need one mast.

[@SolarPlaceFarm]

I recommend going to the center point of the dingy for the davit. Then build a pull out tray with bi facial solar panels that can stow under the arch. In rough seas or bad weather you can pull it in .

[@Sharon-hn9wn]

Quiz of the day. What’s greater than a brilliant mind?? Answer: Two brilliant minds. 😅 You two can do anything together. 👍👍❤️❤️

[@ExpeditionEvans]

Awe this is such a sweet comment! Thanks for your faith in us 😅

[@ChuckShiley]

Hi guys, I have been watching since the initial purchase and have enjoyed all. I am looking forward to this build.

[@jameshodgins1937]

It will be great seeing these improvements come together.

[@garryturgiss8551]

I watched the whole 4 hrs. It was great. Can't wait to see the next video.

[@larryldbigboy]

Would be cool to a marathon video from day one, like y’all did with the ocean crossing. Can’t wait to watch the build

[@Gears-Wrenches-Rods]

I like your idea for the cover, Eva will look great and you guys will enjoy the shade. One thing I would suggest is having a catch can in between your bags and vacuum pump. Other wise you can suck resin through your pump and cause some issue. Ask me how I know😂.

[@CaptWho]

Good episode and I really like the shorter format. It's a lot easier for me to watch a 20 minute video as opposed to a 1+ hour video and due to time I miss some of your more extended works.

[@edwardkay7299]

Excited to see you in project mode again!

[@Daveincc]

This is a great project ! I’m excited for you two. I would let how much solar you want and need and completely cover your tender decide how far the arch extends past the stern. Function over form. Most capable for around the world not best looking in the anchorage is my two cents.

[@donnamass9576]

EXCITING!!!!! Looking 4ward to watching your changes happen. WooHoo!

[@aleksmartini4]

All the best with the new project, very exciting 🔥🔥👏👏

[@craigmarson6917]

Looks like great fun is going to be had !! 🙂 Look forward to the updates on progress.

[@dashaivanova5085]

Happy New Year!

[@darrylcox8267]

So in short, you’re putting a top on your sailboat like Spear It Animal, but finishing out the front. I think that’s brilliant and I’d suggest you leave areas above to see through so you can see your sail shape. Also, that Boom rest on Spear It Animal seems brilliant for a good nights sleep while at anchor. I’d skip the stripper pole. Lol

[@TheBeer4me]

Awesome project time!

[@grabasalad5945]

This is going to be great Team EE cant wait to share your journey...

[@ronaldbishop384]

You may feel an extra push on the transom from port or starboard winds, but having the hard top should make you safer, especially in storms.

[@jesuschrist-alphaomega]

Great to see a video. Love the marathon video. Thanks so much. Looking forward to the process an finished build. You guys rock.

[@coralgwyn-williams9933]

I can't wait to see this progress. I am so lost as to how you attach the dingy lift to the boat. I don't want to ask questions that will be answered if I just be patient and watch...but I am so confused! I love it!!!

[@petercousins4767]

Big task ahead, slow and steady is the trick 👍👍👍🌞

[@belindachappell9875]

Such an exciting project. Thank you for the footage of the dog shoes, so adorable 😂❤

[@MichaelRhodes-w3k]

Looking forward to this project. Yea 4 hours, loved it.

[@goleafsgo8496]

Subscribed backup, I will sheepishly admit once EVA was splashed and back on the water I moved on. BUT I am excited to see you both design and build a custom Dodger (sp?) for EVA. I would wish you luck but I know you both have this as you had mad skills and incredible dedication to completing a task. Cheers pumped to be back ..... 😊

[@brucewaterworth3873]

This will be interesting to watch, I am rebuilding a 60 year old fibreglass car and also used S glass from a surfboard shop.

[@brendanhayes2752]

Love the detailed building projects.

[@snipinmonsta]

as much as I love the sailing and I do love it. I came here at the beginning for the build and its kinda nostalgic to see you guys building again. Also I live in RI so if there is anything here that you were used too lmk and id be happy to ship it to you! Good luck!

[@SeaYaSailing]

Have been using Fusion360 for 8 years. I used it in school, and then later in my 3D modeling/printing business. It is my go to for design.

[@MrFroglips69]

Groovy episode. You have a huge challenge.

[@richb313]

Happy New Year guys and what a way to start the year with a new project thanks for sharing your plans and goals looking forward to when you really start.

[@stevehammond7485]

I love projects! Think about (I don't know how expensive) getting /building a portable paint booth. I will keep your dust contained as well as keep "their" dust out of your space. Have fun!

[@IEnigIMa]

HAPPY NEW YEARS ,,,,,!! You guys hang with Spearit Animal…they completed theirs Solar rack extension, Sounds like yours will be pretty similar in design. Wonder if they would have made any changes that you could learn from while custom building yours. Although, theirs is pretty rockin…❤. You guys must be the fastest growing sailing channel out there. What’s your secret? Charming personality, lovely humans, great dogs…impressive refit…awesome travels!!! No secret I guess. Congrats on your success. Been following you since the start. Much joy 😊❤

[@mandasscents4012]

So glad to see you guys back in real time, as much as I like the Bahamas with you, I prefer real time

[@roberthardy2013]

The marathon was exactly that, but great,enjoyed it all !

[@jessecockerell7290]

"building on the skills"..... that is a good description.

[@patrickconway5542]

Hi people 😀 hopefully you can get this sorted out and start working on the project, just wondering if the Davits being so high will that effect your vessels balance? Not knowing just don’t know what your top side weight will be and or if it would be a problem? Good luck and Happy travels

[@russwright4483]

If you haven’t already done so, I would check out the dodger build on Free Range Sailing. It’s in their refit playlist. Good luck!
