Boss man is a true contractor. Forward thinking problem solver and a good team leader.

[@franksmith3602]

Great job... Captain on the MEGA foam , mold. A couple of thought... 1. When glassing the shape. Make sure to glass in ribs.. areas where the glass will be thicker. 2. At those areas, down the whole replacement mold shape... glass in , cross members, just like a canoe seat, you may have to drill thru the new glass, and put a metal plate, on both side and screw them together, (( temporary)).. Heres why,. Yes your going to Jack up the whole thing in the foam mold shape to see where to make the LENGTH cuts, and bow it fits... That right,.. but then , after you have the LENGTH of the replacement done. Under the boat. You roll the plub back in to where it gos. "" then use, 1" truck straps, on the supports that go from side to side. This why, you Jack it up into place, the straps one on each cross member inside hull and outside hull, ( like a tree swing ). The foam is removed, you then have the whole DAME replacement hull you made hunging on trucks straps, a few inches away from where you have to make the epoxy bond, a d glass the part into place.. CAPTAIN.... NOTE just because the hull replacement is hanging. Put blocks of foam to support it under it. This way you can still walk in side of it and touch up. It's going to be a bitch to alone that big of a hull piece line it up, epoxy it, Jack it into place and secure it. The truck straps, will be the means... to keep it tight to where the bond is. I would have big, pan head washers. Tiny thru rod cut, drill have a pan head nut and lock washer on one end. Then when you push it thru...quickly,.. run that other side pad head washer and nut and lock washer.. quickly. Check, bond first, dont over smash it and squeeze all the epoxy out. Rent extra hands for that day.. you only get one try.. hold a class on what every one part is.. give, names to singles. 6 people yelling different crap, one persons is in charge. Everyone DOSEN'T talk. Only to say what they need... when that MEGA, part is glassed and strapped and bolted so it can't move as it drys... tosse one DAME big pizza party...

@23:16 MY BIRTHDAY 🎂 Great work Team Dauntless!!!

[@rberglind]

I’ve never seen a repair job like this one. I’m impressed 👌

[@montz6743]

This is first-class work from the project managing having equipment arrive in order as needed (no stop work delays)to step by step activities zero downtime or wasted production Is impressive

[@jonunya3128]

mad skills in project management and hull repair.

[@silverhairedguyindubai15]

I nail bite every episode thinking...day 1 = $300, day 2 = another $300. Wish I could help out guys! I WILL continue to watch hoping it makes a difference. Dad with 2 daughters digs what you all do. Health and happiness.

[@fekkim1]

The amount of knowledge gained by your family after this is immeasurable.

[@georgeroach7499]

I am very very impressed with your foresight, planning, and execution. You are making it look simple, and I know it is not.That is definitely a sign of someone who knows what they are doing. Can't wait for next episode. I'm impressed..

[@rickhudson6890]

Way to go Armstrong Fam... And Alex! You guys are rocking it out!

[@brantleychuck]

Huge project. Will be interesting.

[@jeaninepeter2386]

I love watching your videos, I think Ty might be my hero lol he can fix anything 🌟

[@moonraker814]

This is such an awesome family. I really admire the teamwork and what appears to be a group of people calmly taking a huge project one step at a time together. Well done to all of you.

[@itsmedaveh5516]

Pretty impressive!!

[@wayneschembri3754]

Amazing family

[@gjones455]

There is nothing you guys are scared of, incredible motivation.

[@marcjordan29]

You guys are awesome.... Incredible family dynamics. Cool to know there are other fams out there willing to get down on it.

[@MichaelJohnson-rc1kp]

I am so impressed with your ability to set a milestone and then achieve that goal. I am sure that we don’t see al, the trial and error but you progress is impressive. Watching your whole family working together and make such progress is so inspiring. Loving the videos, here for the duration!!!

[@Moftoo]

I'm impressed with the pace of the work, really moving along!

[@shannon58482]

Good on you guys new engines woop woop good work I’m very happy !!! ❤️ NZ

[@72chargerse72]

Ok some of us are watching at 2 am and dont need to wake the family so no large booming bass and for that matter we dont need "music" at all. Talk to us or nothing at all you dont neeed to make it a TV broadcast production. This should be an interesting project. Good luck

[@Evgenijrez]

That’s gonna be one amazing boat with the amount of love and hard work you, guys, are puttin in this project.

[@North_Texas_HeartBreakers]

Great call on the engines and generator.

[@billhooghuis6819]

Your energy level is awe inspiring!

[@cmm170526]

Thoroughly enjoying the adventure. Thanks for taking us along!

[@barriegannon]

You guys absolutely amaze me, best of luck and stay positive. Love from the UK

[@paratyshow]

👍☑Gonna be opening the Dauntless boat production factory soon.

[@rayf8162]

Ty & Fam. Such impressive planning & engineering, combined with hands on know how. While you may have not been working with boats for a long time, it’s clear that you have decades of practical problem solving experience, and the essential even temperament to make it all work. From electronics to engines, plumbing and structural design - this is a masterclass!

[@DDixon3121]

Excellent video...filled with interesting facts. You guys are amazing.

[@mikeferguson2828]

That’s a huge task you took on but so far you guys are doing amazing work

[@michaelnotary5205]

Solid work.

[@Tampo-tiger]

Bloody hell there are some talented people about. This is staggering stuff.

[@ColinWetherelt]

Y'all ought to have more subs - you build it, they will come!!

[@Fawleygairs]

great video again thanks for sharing

[@kaskl5403]

You folks are doing an amazing job, reminds me of the Parlay work but a whole lot more. Everything is laid out very well.

[@mpb9671]

Been following ever since day 1 ... just amazing... so.. next chapter should Be Dauntless boat manufacturers, LLC !!.. or Dauntless Boat resurrection services, LLC !!

[@peggykm4977]

I thought the same thing! Maybe the factory should send Ty and team around world to save other damaged boats!

[@sandyc6569]

Moving right along for sure! Thanks for sharing!! 👍💞💗💞👍

[@anthoneyking6572]

Hi stumbled over your Vlog just watched the The Prologue so I'm up to speed I think interesting re build thanks for having me I have Subbed

[@susanarmstrong2202]

Love the progress ❤️

[@LifeOnTheHulls]

Great mission guys, so good to see a good restore with sound technique. Cheers Ross

[@nickcooper14]

Great work guys, your accelerated timeline is excellent, but hides the effort you are actually putting in. Keep it up looks spectacular 🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼🇦🇺 Go the Dauntless WIGGLES...🤣🤣🤣

[@simonball2913]

Massive job guys but so worth it in the end. Keep on keeping on.

[@connyrikardsson9559]

That was so inspiring to watch.

[@Pete-nl8ok]

I have been anxiously awaiting this episode, the next episode, all of your next episodes/adventures. I can't even imagine the thought and time it takes to seek the knowledge to make this project come together, to be safe and sea worthy. Thank you for sharing your journey with us, thank you for being so brave! Sail on sailor, sail on!

[@williesful]

Wow, very clever. Excellent work team

[@bryanmcfarland7417]

Awesome start.

[@JAQ157]

This seems like a Dauntless task, but as the crew of the Dauntless I'm sure you're up to the Dauntless task ahead. You guys are awesome. It was too tempting to pass, good luck.

[@hansh8071]

That is ace planning and teamwork!! 👍😀

[@timtrinkaus7072]

What an amazing project I can’t wait to follow your progress. Great idea going with new engines and generator hopefully get out of that expensive yard sooner that way!

[@josephstevens3357]

What an excellent video!! You guys are doing an amazing job!

[@gebi4pejo1]

Absolutely fascinating stuff, wishing you guy all the best..

[@mikehill4940]

Great series. I have so many questions. Looking forward to how it all comes together. I also voted for all new engines. Save time and money and avoid problems down the road. Also adds value if you end up selling.

[@nortonmolly]

You need to look for a Wet Out machine. This machine will impregnate the glass fibre as the glass fibre rolls through it from one roller to another roller. I’ll bet you are well advanced in the rebuild process.

[@gbsailing9436]

Hi there SD family...👋 I was awake and sleepless so I thought I would watch this. I'll come back afterwards and post some nice comments. Cheers Edit: I'm so glad you guys know what you are doing - I haven't seen the Sailing Dauntless series - I pick your channel up when you goths phone call to go buy this yacht! Ha ha. Man this job is way bigger than even I thought it was going to be.😱🤪😜 It must be nice to have a project knowing you have the money behind you to allow you to do it right the first time - new engines, etc. You can always refurbish them and sell them off afterwards. Your work seems faultless so far so this is going to be one nice yacht when you have finished. Have you decided which yacht you will keep and which you will sell - or will you just keep both between all the family? See you next week.

[@EvilTwinTT]

Incredible progress! Well done guys - so jealous!

[@Jacoblejd]

You guys are the ”hold my beer” youtube sailboat restauration channel, not only hellish extent of the repair, but also impeccable execution. Either way, really differentiated from the other channels and a bliss to watch. Also love that the restoration is a family activity. Jaw droppingly inspiring.

[@brandely1]

👍 gros boulot bon courage a vous

[@larrymills4223]

This is exciting to watch. Can hardly wait for the next video

[@justinwienand9351]

Awesome job guys.. can't wait for the next video...

[@kptbillburkett8735]

Great Video 📹! I loved Every second of it! Very Good info! That was the Fastest 27 minutes of my life. Ok keep up the Great Work! Until next Sunday Morning 🌄 Aloha from the Big Island 🏝 of Hawaii 🏝. P.s. who knows ya'll may sail here to the Big Island 🏝. If you do ya'll have a place to stay here with us.

[@roryderbyshire4630]

Hi You will end up with a AWESOME boat when done . Hope it all goes well. Cheers Rory

[@kensullivan256]

Totally entertaining and informative

[@chellebov1]

Everyone should get their "poop in a group". 😂 So much fun to watch this whole process! Great Job guys!

[@SGudur]

There were few things that I didn't understand.. But, hopefully I can after seeing what you did... Totally loved this Ep...

[@ianmacadam4097]

I have never seen that much resin in one place during a repair. Wow

[@ThoughtfulWander]

great new episode!! Keep rolling Dauntless crew!!

[@dalebend2831]

Great channel, keep up the good work and can’t wait for the next video.

[@nooneanybodyknows1321]

So many things I didn't know that I didn't know, that I know now. 🧠💥

[@peggykm4977]

Well put!

[@ThoughtfulWander]

nice new shiny engines 👀👍🎉👌

[@annehoff6]

Another great episode can’t wait to see next weeks.

[@ipc1962]

Ustedes tienen un gran trabajo que realizar, es increíble lo hábiles que son. Exitos!!!!

[@RegularReplacement]

Fairing the mold with forbidden Nutella :D

[@hakubaholiday9006]

Awesome opportunity to do away with keels and install daggerboards!

[@OzcarMike641]

I am just in awe of all that you are doing. This is something that I have thought about doing. If this work was being done in WPB I would lend a hand and gain knowledge. Subscribed !

[@robinv5549]

Festool tools for the world ;) such an inspiring project you guys are doing. never give up on your dreams :)

[@Jeremy-km4dj]

Really love the work . Can't wait to see more

[@markbenson1948]

One word - WOW! Team family:)) John 5:24

[@sherryrogers-byrd6499]

Are you keeping the boat as your home or flipping it love watching the way you all work together have fun be safe be blessed

[@billhanna8838]

You honestly amaze me , I would have gone with the stringers ?

[@ThoughtfulWander]

wow lots of fairing going on!!

[@drewvhammond]

I would have used a drywall finishing compound over the foam as a intermediate layer over the foam, Light sand and painted it to seal then glassed over. Much less fairing work with expensive and hard to sand materials. Not saying that is the absolute way to go but how I have prepped foam molds in the past.

[@peggykm4977]

Genius! Biggest mold I’ve seen ! Did the factory offer you and your team jobs yet? 😎

[@stevew4260]

Be interesting seeing the costs as they come/go

[@jakeoddmonic2956]

Awsome project 🤘🤘🤘🤘🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻

[@MrJerobona]

Very impressive! Bravo to the family!

[@michaelcanto6175]

Don't know if you have any names for this boat yet, but the word that comes to mind is Metamorphosis

[@RichardRoger1966]

Did you have experience making fiberglass molds and or fiberglass construction before... Besides small auto body fixes (small rust repairs).

[@danaparedes5613]

So interesting! Are you putting handprints permanently in the mold? Gotta have your personal signature somehow.

[@juliana.rilveria5518]

With the foam shred it into snow like material and mix with concrete thus making aircrete or foamCrete and pour in brick molds or rectangular blocks for useful ideas...

[@kenkneram4819]

Ohh NO!!! They put a red shirt on him!!!!😉🤣🤣🤣 🖖

[@shelbylynnmcphearson6541]

Very informative...we are headed to st Petersburg Florida in 2 months to find us a boat...."Destination Barcelona"...

[@MichaelBuck]

Just realizing you all are 2 months out from these videos, lol. That means all decisions have been made and you are well on your way with getting the hulls completed and hopefully getting splashed soon. I am very glad you decided to get NEW engines and Gensets, a great decision in my mind. The molding process is new to me for repairs so very interested to see how this all turns out. Amazing that it's taken over 2 weeks to build the mold and it still hasn't been used yet for the repairs, not to mention the COST of building the mold. I wonder what will become of this very expensive mold? WIll the Yard buy it from you or will Leopard in Florida or is it headed to the dumpster? Seems budget-wise you have already spent over $100K at this point in the process, which is a little under 1/3 of the total budget I believe. However, in real-time you are probably 2/3 complete with the rebuild and 2/3 through on the budget. God Bless you all and look forward to seeing the finished product by the end of the year!

[@kptbillburkett8735]

This video 📹 was so good and fast that I had to watch it again! So Question? Did they send ya'll the form mold? And can you use it for both sides? Ok Aloha from the Big Island 🏝

[@norhishamnordin4525]

Hi... I have a question that might be silly.. but bear with me.. why don't you use the undamaged hull as a mould? I think it will save more time than do the mould using the foam and of course, not to worry about twisting or moves etc and it's definitely identical...

[@douglasmontgomery6315]

Nice video guys. May I ask why you went through the expense of ordering a new generator and not use this as the opportunity to get rid of the generator and install an Integral system or high output alternators and external regulators?

[@brianseager6388]

for all the comments on the yard fees in the grand scheme of things it is not alot when you take in a account the boats value when it is finished still plenty of meat on the bone you win the boatyard wins everyone is happy, dont mind the music. dont let colin from parlay near the project he will put most of the resin in his hair and up his arms colin is a fellow kiwi so he all good

[@peggykm4977]

😄

[@DavidHHermanson]

No respirators or filter masks for hot cutting foam, laying epoxy or sanding?

[@stephenmahoney9531]

👍👍👍👍👍

[@baseballunderthelights2373]

Hey guys, just found and love the channel. Quick question - could tell me the size and brand of boat at the other end of your hanger? Thanks.
