Building an aluminum catamaran from scratch has been one heck of a learning curve for a newbie like me, and every day I'm learning and challenging myself more and more...And now as we start to fit the hull plates and turn this skeleton of metal frames into an actual boat, I'm realizing just how difficult this is. But if sailing around the world for the last 15 years has taught me one thing, it's how to embrace the unknown and just GO FOR IT! So join us for this week's episode and watch Delos 2.0 take shape right before your eyes 🤯

Please don't use heat on your back and neck, it causes inflammation that will pinch the nerve even worse. Ice it and stretch, also an anti-inflammatory (ibuprofen) or muscle relaxers you can get from a doctor. I've lived with back issues most of my life. It's an hourly cycle of 15 min ice, 15min or less laying on your stomach on a bed (helps align the spine), then stretch your hamstrings. It's important how you stretch your hamstrings, lay on the floor in a doorway and use the door frame to prop up one heel at a time keeping your leg straight, this isolates the stretch to your hamstring and helps relax the back. As you lay down stretching you will feel everything start to loosen up. Hope this helps for next time.

I can't lie here, been following you guys for a long time, many years of dreaming of one day getting to sail around the world, but this is the change your channel needed to bring the excitement back. You're not building a fiberglass cat, or some fiberglass Multihull, built by someone else, you're getting your hands dirty and genuinely showing us the process along the way. I really enjoy this, you pulled me right back in with this series of videos.

I've compared them too, but I'm WAY more connected/invested [humanly speaking] in Brian, Kazz, and Sierra; as well as the folks they bring to the show. They are genuine and personable, and in touch with their audience. Not so with network stuff. So, I rank them, at a minimum, 5-10x better than the network productions.

I'm enjoying the build videos a lot. I remember watching Brian install the electrical system many years ago. After seeing that, I always thought watching Brian build a boat would fit perfectly with his skill set and interest. I had no idea this build would move along so quickly. Keep it up.

[@bradkvanbek7148]

For your insulation, I would consider type I EPS (Expanded Polystyrene), 1# density. It comes in sheets, you can get it cut to any thickness. If you get thinner sheets you can bend it to fit the hull and layer them. Don't get XPS (Extruded Polystyrene) it will absorb water.

[@Heathaze813]

That boat will still be floating 100 years from now! Nice work Brian.

[@operator0]

Galvanic corrosion is still a big worry. Without proper maintenance and mitigation it can eat right through that aluminum very quickly. A well built composite hull will last much longer than any other material. The advantage of aluminum over fiberglass isn't really about longevity, it's about strength to weight. While this hull can last 100+ years, it would either need to be out of the water, or it would need constant attentive ownership. In contrast, there are wrecked fiberglass boats sitting on beaches, or on the ground in shallow water for 60+ years that have shown no signs of deterioration. It's actually becoming quite a problem in Biscayne Bay, and parts of the Bahamas. Every material has its advantages and disadvantages. It's up to the owner/builder to pick the one that best suites the need. In this case, the only material that might be a better fit for them would be carbon fiber, but that would be many times more expensive than aluminum, and so the cost to benefit ratio is very questionable.

[@Jpifr]

@@operator0 Galvanic corrosion will only be a problem if other materials are not well sealed, composite also have to deal with UV and micro cracks, aluminium with fatigue too. With good care, any boat can last for 100years. The strength to weight ratio is also not that obvious, some techniques will make composite and metals better or worse. Carbon fiber composites are also prone to deteriorate with galvanic corrosion when in contact with anode materials.

[@operator0]

@@Jpifr Galvanic corrosion can also occur due to stray electrical currents flowing through the hull and into the sea water. This is actually much more destructive than dissimilar metal galvanic corrosion. Although these stray currents can be mitigated, there's no way they can be fully eliminated. The best defense is to make sure that your anodes are always maintained and replaced as needed.

[@grahamedresser3209]

I’ve noticed a lot of contamination from their tools and chain blocks. A thorough pickle and passivation treatment should be done

[@svdelos]

Exactly, there are definitely pros and cons to every building material, we actually did a video all about why we chose aluminum, strengths and weaknesses, and how to combat/prevent some of the problems that can come with aluminum: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n6vZhXygf519d8U

[@jimbeekhuizen423]

Thank God for autocad. Can you imagine the fitting problems and extra costs you would have had if each piece needed to be hand drawn and dimensioned? Not to mention the accuracy and benefit of the CNC laser cutting precision. I remember thinking $65k for the raw aluminum was pretty low cost, especially when there would be leftovers sold back at the end. Then, when the flat plates were delivered, it was a surprisingly small stack of metal on just 1 flatbed straight truck. I am really enjoying that you've enabled us to see the entire process unfold. I admit I at first had qualms about Brian working daily at the yacht builder. Now that we're seeing the quality of work and dedication of the builders' crew, I think you should consider offering them a week or two of life aboard later when they have vacation time after your shakedown period. I think it would be beneficial to both sides.
