I love this comment, my sentiments exactly. We get to see just enough of how things get done without getting bogged down for an entire video on one seemingly trivial detail. He is also multitasking most times and that makes it so much more interesting. I really like BWT but this format is so much better. Life on the hulls is amazing as well. He has a bit too much personal life travel unrelated mixed in but doing amazing work.

I agree with anthony rondolino 100%. The only difference I would have considered is a better use of light foam cores above the center of gravity. This could have saved maybe a hundred pound and helped smooth the ride in rougher waters. Only a very small difference...however, excellent planning and workmanship.

Engine work made easy. Combustion engines work on the following principals Fuel and air get sucked into the cylinder. The piston goes up reducing the volume. Using the combined gas law P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2 P2 goes up, V2 goes down, and T2 goes up to maintain the equation. Thus ignition in diesel if you're using gas then a spark is used to help since they run at lower compression ratios. Oil lubricates the parts, water cools the parts. It's very simple. Suck, Bang, Push, Blow.

A seven layer laminate won't spring back enough to notice. Incidentally, the way to cut things like your deck beam to final length is with a thin kerf japanese back saw. Put the beam against the surface you want it to fit against and cut it in place. You only remove the thickness of the blade from the end of the piece. A couple of cuts and - perfect fit.

Congratulations on your sponsor. I’m sure it helps but I hope you can tone it down a bit. Btw like your new sticker.
The biggest problem with spinning an AC generator is maintaining correct voltage and frequency because both are dependent upon engine RPM. AT the same time, simply generating DC that matches the battery bank voltage is also not optimal because it is easy to overcharge the batteries. You have to look at a full electrical SYSTEM solution. IMHO, for good, clean, consistent (voltage and frequency) AC power you need an inverter, likely in the 3KW range. An inverter of that sizes requires at least a 24V battery bank (48v would be even better if you have the space). Solar charge controllers for 24V or 48V are not an issue. Now we are back to a DC generator for the baby Perkins. Balmar makes 24V alternator and regulators but they are expensive. It is possible to convert a standard 12V alternator to produce 24V or even 48V with a special, external voltage regulator.

Are you still working your computer job? I know Europeans have and take more vacation time then us, Americans but feels like you were just here in the US not so long ago. (Doubt it feels that way to you guys. :) ) Again, love the channel and I'm not a sailor.

first of all gotta say amazing dedication and attention to detail! Currently trying to get all my ducks in a row for steel boat build soon ...now just gotta learn how to cuss in danish so i dont get the cops called on me every other day lol One quick question/concern tho....your laminated beams are beautiful and will help spread the load but unless im blind i have seen no attachments to the sides...Will they be glassed into the verticle surfaces? May well be of no concern unless ya plan on hosting a dance party on top but because they do spread the load they also increase the shear point right at the ends of where they are attached to the shell.I tend to massive overkill so maybe I am just creating an issue that doesnt exist! Either way...excellent work and look forward to more great videos...also best wishes for the holidays!
