[@nickviner1225]

In my younger days I worked as a shipwright and boat builder ( I am now in my seventies). What you are showing in your videos is blowing me away. One thing comes to mind, It is not an inexpensive build. I am loving what you two are doing and thanks for sharing it with us all. Regards, Nick.

I concur with the requests for more of this technical information. Between the first Seawind 1370 build and the Max 42 build by Matt & Jessica, the cruising community is getting a master class in catamaran construction. Thanks for the excellent material!

Seeing those behind the scenes manufacturing clips must absolutely build your confidence in the strength of the base boat design then. Cough, Sailing Parlay Revival disaster, cough. Love those linear fore and aft webs too that are cast into the hull too. So good.

[@dennisreeves632]

This is just amazing. As someone that spent their career building aircraft and working with those same materials for years the process they are using in incredible. Thank you so much for sharing this with us. Unbelievable amount of work goes into any boat build but the cats are something else. Thank you again. You ROC!

Glad you enjoyed it mate. Loads more to come

[@DrBrian0450]

As a former boat builder I really liked this video!

[@sailingrubyrose]

Ah cheers mate. High praise indeed

[@richardwylie07]

Wow your timing on this type of ‘build quality’ film… is perfect. The Lagoon bulkhead situation is shocking… and I’m sure many viewers are thinking much more deeply about how manufacturers are making their boats!!

[@sailingrubyrose]

Yeah we feel sorry for our friends who are having issues

[@rogerdinnis3816]

it is nice to see that the manufacturer has the confidence to video the build, what an advert! For us mere mortals it is awesome to see the detail and expertise used. Rather a different approach to the one I am used to, working in a wood specialist boatyard in the 1970's! Had a book written about it, that process being very old a bit like me!

[@peterwalker5413]

Can’t wait to see the next process in the build. So jealous of you two and RR2! Must have more to feed my addiction of the life I forgot to live. So I live vicariously through the two of you. ;)

[@rustie4242]

Seawind has done a fantastic job of utilising technology to create a hull that is far superior to many other manufacturers. I hope all the rest of the bulkheads are fitted with the same precision. I am looking forward to the rest of the build series, cheers Rustie.🍺🦘

[@sailingrubyrose]

Cheers Rustie

8:10 - We ALWAYS want extra "Nerd Points". More!!! More!!! This is probably the best boat production video ever produced!

[@sailingrubyrose]

Hahahaha mate. WHEN I get to Vietnam, I am going to woo you with all sorts of daily nerd updates

[@CheersWarren]

Resin infusion is great , but they did regular wet layup for the outer skins of glass against the water. The double scored foam has been around for 35 years I was vacuum Bagging foam into hulls in 1991 and Jeremy Rodgers was producing similar hulls in the 80’s by RTM vac-assist an early cushion of the infusion process that requires more tooling but a lot less wasted plastic , hose , bagging films etc But this is a great build with NO WOOD IN STRUCTURAL COMPONENTS. Very glad to see all wood rots in fiberglass boats! Cheers Warren

[@J30Vampire]

agreed. I was using this to make Kyacks in the early 90s. and my Privledge 39 was made using this same process in 92

[@pauleohl]

The wood rots under the fiberglass, whether the wood is totally encapsulated or just covered with glass on the top.

[@squalloogal]

Amazing insight. Really makes Seawind stand above the pack. There’s a security a customer needs to feel comfortable with the workmanship of a craft their lives depend on. Great job.

[@Trishpage312]

WOW! Honest to god this is one of the most incredible things I’ve seen! I had NO idea! The vacuum bagging!?!? WHA??? I will be watching this about 4 more times. I’m so geeked out about this right now! Thank you!!!

[@jamesdarling3320]

I know you guys must be extremely excited that your hulls is next and Nick must be happy to geek out on the technical side of the boat build. Well done episode 🍺🍺

[@sailingrubyrose]

Cheers mate

[@archstanton9206]

I can only imagine how excited you are. We are in the early planning stages of our dream home, retirement is less than a year away, and I have bit of that excitement as well. I've owned hot rod boats almost all my adult life, and at 62 the changes I've seen in the tech that goes into hull construction are simply astounding. I don't think you could have picked a better time to do this, the infusion process and the tech in the glass and bonding agents have been sorted pretty well, and carbon...well carbon is changing the world. Love this stuff,,,the tech and the actual build, the "dirty hands part", as it were.Can't wait to see more.

[@johnkeegan6646]

The attention to detail is astounding! It is becoming clearer why you selected this builder! Fascinating! Keep these coming please.

[@sailingrubyrose]

Cheers mate. Lots more to come

[@guyb3410]

Looks alot stronger than a lagoon 450. Parlay revival videos with cracked bulkheads look like a disaster. Great insight to catamaran construction. Cant wait to see the rest of the build.

[@RTLimYou]

Fantastic report. Excellent, even. Thanking you both for the inspiration to sail someday.

[@thomas.silvano]

The final product will be amazing, and this show a lot of hard work congratulations.

[@BuzzSargent]

Supershow. The technical is what tells how strong the boat will end up being. The molds themselves are quite beautiful. The big red boat. Happy Trails

[@r1ca3d09]

Perfect video to watch after the bulkhead saga!

[@sailingrubyrose]

Ah yes, poor Colin

[@enderdragoon]

This is unreal that you are able to capture this footage and make it available for us. The detail in here is much deeper than it might appear on the surface, as Im just learning more about boat construction and beginning some fiberglass builds myself, the difference between armature hour and a professional piece of glass is really incredible. Seeing the infusion process is really eye opening and Im eternally grateful the hull popped out of the mold without any damage (that seems to be the scariest part of the whole build). Theres less fiberglass matting than I would have thought there was, somehow I thought it would be at least 4+ layers of triaxial on both sides of the foam core but that looks pretty clean and Im sure its exceptionally strong with all the cad work. Somewhat sad that theres so much wasted material in the build process (vacuum bag/lines/plug/etc) but compared to the wasted materials that go into each home its really not that bad if its for a live aboard family.

[@FlesHBoX]

Yeah, it's crazy just how thin you can get away with in the laminations due to the sandwich construction! I've been working on a cat design for a bit and while I have basically zero experience to design the layup, I've just defaulted to 4 layers on either side of the core as a "rough estimate for weight estimations" and suspect that in many areas it's massively overboard. Though of course, it would be insufficient in other areas, so I figure it should work out as a basic "this is roughly how much cloth/resin/core will be needed".

[@AliasJimWirth]

Fabulous tour. Excellent commentary, Nick. I truly enjoyed this video. Thank you both.

[@robertscranton8293]

Exquisite construction. The builders over at the goon show will be green with envy and blushing with regret over there poor effort... You guys need to take over the marketing for Seawind.

Ah thanks so much. Yeah we feel for Colin and his woes

[@chrisstephen4563]

Stunning. Happy days

[@ReefRunner1]

Very timely! I've been trying to unlock the "secrets" of boat materials. So far I've found: - Carbon fibers: Stronger, lighter, more expensive than fiberglass. - Vinylester resin: Stronger, more expensive than polyester resin. Cheaper than epoxy. - Foam core: More reliable than wood and lower water absorption. Divynycell foam core is one of the better ones. So overall, it looks like you are getting great quality basic materials in the new boat!

[@2212db]

Damn, that is a lot of pipe-work for the vaccuum infusion! It's really interesting to see the processes involved, looking forward to more of this.

[@EdwardTilley]

Made me wonder how they make those hose hoses multi-use ... I can't see how they can just rinse them after a use and use them again?

[@2212db]

@@EdwardTilley I don't know if they re-use the hoses, but flushing them with acetone would clean them up. Several factors to take into account - the hose material and cost; will acetone degrade the hose? unlikely but something to consider, and is it cheaper to discard gallons of acetone/resin rather than replace the hose? Then you have many gallons of sticky acetone sitting around until the acetone evaporates off, this isn't a quick process and carries a huge fire risk. I suspect the hose is single use.

[@EdwardTilley]

@@2212db I think you're right. A part of the cost of the construction, and seeing the strength you get from so much less material, I should think that hose cost amounts to a savings overall. That carbon fibre isn't cheap though. You are looking at around $300 for a sheet the size of a piece of plywood, unless I'm mistaken. I'd actually like to see how they make the keel superficial and replaceable- and even how they could build in a light weight double-hull. Gets a busy mind turning - as if this solution isn't already complex enough. This made me think that just a ply or two of carbon the length of the keel and an inch above it would keep out any reefing-damage seawater - and then if you wanted bulletproof as well, a single sheet of kevlar around a saferoom. Am definitely overthinking this, but now is the time.

[@2212db]

@@EdwardTilley in the grand scheme of things, a few thousands on single use hose isn't a big deal.

[@Boediprasetya]

@@2212db buying a new plastic pipe is definitely cheaper than cleaning with solvent / acetone
