Hey, Yeah your gonna need a few glues here and there. A good epoxy is super valuable, PU is another good thing to have on hand and also PVA, but not any PVA! If I had to choose one, it would be epoxy but it’s downside is it takes ages to go off - especially in your climate! But, it’s what I would use if I had to choose one. Maybe consider joining us over on Patreon for your project, I’m soon to set up a boatbuilding group there and a help line for those who are supporting us.

As for the inside outside question, for me it’s more about each specific use case, for example a bilge board will get very wet, a companion way handle will also get wet. A table, is likely not going to get wet and a mast pillar may also suffer of the step leaks etc..

Sure, each to their own chap 👍

Thanks fella! Yeah, we’ve done a few over the years but we’re just stuck for time! May give you a shout when we get some pennies we can rub together! We should be grand for a bit but there’s some cracks from some fillers that have been used that look like they are likely going to haunt us! Cheers for the offer, sounds like it could work at some point!👍👌

Thanks, glad you thought so!

Thanks fella, we had it weighed last month, 3100kg. So yeah, it’s close when full up but a nice surprise! Throughout the build I was actually very weight conscious to get it to this weight but to be honest we’re going to rate it over 3500 anyway as no matter what we do it would have been over when we fill it full of filming gear etc. or… there’s a trailer and to be honest, that’s just a faff! The main reasons for the over rating if the van are so we can carry, 350l of water and a washing mashing 😂🤷‍♂️ but…. We do kinda need that as we will be living off grid most of the time for the boat build 👍

Yeah mate, she’s a proper legend! 👍👌

🍻 👍🏼

Thanks fella, your such a charmer!😂👌 It’s hard to do all of that when it’s not our product…. But, for your reference, not it doesn’t off gas 🤦‍♂️

@SailHub How do you know? AI says that the binder is polyurethane. So it's not much different from common PU insulation. It may not be a big issue until you heat up the interior. Which I plan to do. It's not pure cork. Rather an expensive gimmick

@trollmcclure1884 I’m pretty confident that’s there’s nothing wrong with the video, it’s just not what your after. It seems that what you are after is a video that bypasses the manufacturer and gives their secrets away? Sadly, as a budding review channel that’s not likely to give us much support from the industry so I can’t do that, but I will help you along your path a little. The ‘glue’ so to speak, that holds this material together is most certainly not a PU and it serves no part of the insulating properties. On the AI note, I would be careful what you trust and where you get your info. For common questions it’s likely OK, for the less tackled questions I would imagine not so accurate. As a shipwright, I can honestly say the information it puts out is generally terrible and based upon the majority. That is, for our small community of course where good online information is relatively scarce. Mind you it is quite worrying when these people are messing with floating on the sea… After all though, it’s generated from what it finds on the web. Involving comments on UA-cam and forum posts etc… We need to be careful what we trust, AI can have little to real life information backing the information up. I would ask it again and then ask it to back up its references and see if you still trust it. I recently asked Chat GPT about a question about our own project and it answered incorrectly. I asked for where the information was sourced and the links to it. It basically came from one source that was untrusted and then apologised and stated the rest came from information on similar projects as info on ‘The SailZero Project’ was limited. A little worrying. Anyhow, good luck on your search, we will have some testing on it coming out soon, that may interest you but then maybe not

For sure mate, you guys can get away with the floating rudder they do! That’s a massive weight saving!

Sure. We used 11 buckets at €190 each, we could have just used 7 though. All depends on how much insulation you are looking for. The acoustics were important to us for podcasting and well as being able to camp in colder than -5 so we went for more than usual.

@SailHub thanks 👍 can you give a costing for all materials,e.g .sheep's wool , cork sheeting if used etc ..I'm hoping here in Spain to build a half campervan out of the 90 s mercedes m.b.100 series and half work van for my gardening work , I'm choosing this old Merc because (a) with historic status it needs technical inspection (itv.m.o.t.) every 6 years , (b) there is no road tax .( There is cheap classic insurance) Being a classic the value should increase, as standard they have the 240d engine which should compete with the space 🚀 shuttle for high mileage all I need now is a woman to do the work..🤔💥⛱️oh and apparently with a classic vehicle over 30 years old you can enter low emission zones!!!!???🤪🧐🤓🤠

@winker-g6p nice man, It all depends on the size of your van really, sounds like a fab project t you have on. As for us, we were told for average conditions that 2 coats is enough and that was around 6 buckets @ €190each. As for us we used close to 11 buckets in the end and had 4 coats due to our live of cold climates and the acoustics needed for the podcasting in our van. As for the wool - best get in touch with RMT (I think that’s the name - they were super helpful, their link should be in the description, we got a deal on R&D, the good news for you is they are in Spain!

@SailHub thanks again for your help....

@winker-g6p our pleasure 👍

It certainly is, it’s really a fantastic material!

Sure, good points. It’s all about budget and ease of use 👍

Sounds fab, there will be a lot of people interested in this!👍

1999 Yamaha 6G1: 2 cylinder 135cc 2 stroke. Original 6HP doing 8 with small mods. Was typical at this time.

Yeah, great motor. We had one of them years back. Mind you we never got speeds lol you have managed. Maybe I’m too fat 😆

@@SailHub naaa I guess the Bombard was just gliding really well. Not sure if it could enter gliding without a passengers weight on the front or how it would perform with 3-4 people..

@SimonBro-ps7so either way, pretty impressive performance 👍

Cheers George! Glad you appreciated it 👍😀

Yeah, those things are epic, and they could drive the boat forward a bit with their thrust too! How cool is that? Oh, and sound like a fighter jet, epic! There is the slight issue of >20l of fuel per hour though…. And the fact it’s a jet means to run it slower for less out out means decreased efficiency again. I rekon I woukd choose the EPT 14kw as the best marine option at present!

That, is a very valid point. Thanks 👍❤️

Thanks for that! Curious, do you recognise the loch?

Yeah, I can see those advantages working well. The open transom grew on me, most likely due to the overall stability of the boat, it basically meant that I felt confident the bags in the boat would stay upright. That being said, I’m pretty sure I would put a mesh there as I’m generally quite clumsy 😂🤷‍♂️

Ah cheers! 🍻🤙

It’s Al ways something to be aware of, especially around splices. The new generation has a coating on it so that helps a huge amount but it’s only on the outside so when spliced we expose some of the edges a little, hence why we often see the spliced covered.

@@SailHub oke good to know. Thank you for the reply! All the best

Ohhh Yeaaaah! 🤙

Thanks mate, appreciate the feedback 👍

Hey, that’s an interesting comment, can you give me a bit more of a technical description to understand it?

Interesting points there, not sure I agree with all of them but all the same, no doubt they are valuable for many. Thanks for sharing 👍

Hey John, yup your right. We’ve had this one for a while but it seems a good test for the dinghy so we used it!

Mostly, they're just banned for purchasing NEW, not the actual use.

@belkenator that’s very true, and of course as a marine business you can usually still buy them too. In the uk for instance, it’s just public sales that are effected.

Hey Silviu, Thanks for your comment. Yeah, it sounds like we do have a lot in common! Mind you, I won’t be going amphibious with our camper! You nutter! That’s sounds fab!! As for the dinghy, I quite fancy building one too, although we’ve got a yacht to get floating first so I think you will likely beat us to that! As for motors. Sadly we don’t have any contacts for petrol motors at present. I would be going for a Tohatsu 9.8 2t if I had the option as the power to weigh ratio is unbeatable. That being said…. They are not easy to get a hold of without a marine business. Sorry I can’t help with a 20hp though.

Sure! Good advice 👍 If I were going to keeping I would just make a new transom with a four bends in the top rail to lower it a few inches.

Glad you stuck with it and I hope it all made sense! Cool to hear you followed the race, it’s an epic adventure!

Understandable but then we do. Wed to think about other options. Our industry is learning ways to do this and it’s going to be great if we can find a good use of the material and an efficient waste process.

I think that would be the simplest option but personally I don’t understand why the don’t just make the transom lower, especially the open transom models.

@@SailHub ive been in takacat with solid transom and it still cavitates

@andrewjamez ahhh thanks, I think it’s due to the efficient hull making a smaller stern wave. If we get to faff with one again I think I will start modifying the transom to simulate a longer leg and see if that helps.

Ice fishing!! Your certified nuts mate! I love it 🤙😀

Hey, yeah I think a longer shaft would fix it! So you need the floor fitted for the cat to work. As for the load, I mentioned the weight carried and all tests were done with two people on board. The drone shots and a few others were taken from land so Jenni was not on board but all testing was done with two people and around 30kg extra weight.

So cool all of these cat manufacturer’s are coming to light! Thanks! 👍😃

Mate! What a legend! Thanks mate, we’re super grateful 🙌😃❤️

Sadly she’s not my cat - it’s gone back as we chose the mono. I can see your thoughts on your other boats but I really don’t see a 450w motor pushing anything at 5kn. Mind you, a 1kw would be an interesting test for sure. Maybe in the future we can make that happen. 🤔

@@SailHub I have the Elite which is 500w electric and can move the Sea Eagle FishSup1210 up to 7mph per their marketing. I gotta think it would move a Cat like yours (better hull design) is faster. That Temo is the same as the Elite. Anyways enjoyed your vid

@GuySkellenger thanks! Much appreciated! I can see your thoughts, my only thought is the cat we tested is twice the weight which will be making a difference to lift out and into the plane. I guess we won’t know unless we test it! Still though, some great valuable info there. Thanks ! 👍

Yeah, the cat is a cool set up, the pressures were the same though, the cat get on the plane at much lower speeds and the floor is basically not on the water when planing, only the tubes are. The V hull needs to channel the water and waves to the back of the boat so it has a lot more forces acting on it which cause it to flex.

Thanks for the info, super valuable. Embarrassingly I did not talk about the construction technique. When we give our long term review on the boat we chose I will be sure to include this. Thanks 👍

@ if you do that segment see if you can find an expert on plastics…glue vs heat welded PVC seams, as well as PVC vs hypolon…everyone know hypalon is better in the tropic sun, but at the same time you can’t heat welded hypalon as far as I know…to me dealing with seam leaks and finding a solution is the most important issue….this is especially true with roll ups that have the added stress of being rolled and unrolled. Thanks for your efforts.

Cheers fella! Yeah, stoked to be on the water and looking forward to the text of the series!!!

Ok, nice to hear, thanks for the info 👍

We really like our Takacat 260. Max legal outboard is a 6. True kit is probably a better brand longevity wise but we prefer the open stern of the Takacat. No bailing after a rain or when it gets a little sporty outside. Dont tow it any faster than 15 or so as it can start to kite a bit. Near zero drag towing it. Either add a net to stern or just move the inflatable seat to the stern. No gear is lost but water if any just drains out the back. we use net bags for gear anyway. These all need plates when a higher horsepower outboard is used. Packable, less than 60 pounds and very stable.

@stevenhorwood1300 sounds fab, there’s a lot of people love the takacat! Nothing better than a kite influenced dinghy for some entertainment mind! 😂🤦‍♂️

Exactly! And it was, a lot better!

@KiteTurbine I’m a bit lost here? Are you referring to my wife Jenni? Or a generator?! 😂

Hey!! Thanks man, it was. Tough one to make as I too have troubles with my body! Thanks for the comment too, in an AI world it’s why makes soooooooo much difference and we now have the research to back it up! So much appreciated, thanks! 👍😀❤️

Lets make annonser one for the airplane to chew on!😂 i liked that phrase!

Cheers for the info! Always nice 👌 and yeah, they probably could have been a valid option. Hopefully your comment helps others find them too! Thanks 👍🏼😀

Hey thanks!! Cheers for the tip off too 🤟🏼

Having for that, some great info there. The ventilation is a bit of an issue, I presume it’s because the stern wave is minimal. Which of course gives us that efficiency. Cheers for the tips, super valuable for cat owners. As for us, I kinda fancy building a cat dinghy some point, I think it would be really interesting and fun!

Hey Steve, good to hear from you matey. Thanks for the pointer, I think when we’ve finished this outboard series we’re thinking cat for the aluminium boats tender. I’ve seen seem cool motors here at Boot, and some promise the figures that we wishing for…. Question is, where is reality! Let’s find out! P.s good choice on your motor, I presume it’s the Tohatsu - I think they have the best power to weight ratio on the market?

I saw a Torqeedo Travel XP Review recently the rubber dinghy was on the Edge to go into plane with one person. I am pretty sure with a better cavity plate, catamaran dinghy and optimized prop it would have been archived. But there are 2-3 kw options out there do you know anyone who tried it? By the way I love your yt films

Found the review Nearly in plane I would say or? m.ua-cam.com/video/OeamJYQ5Eko/v-deo.html

@mauersegler9894 the problem there is the optimised prop. Sadly the guys are selling on numbers due to many magazines wanting figure like static thrust. This is great but it’s not much use for functional movement, there are some out there who are really going into prop development for certain speeds etc. Remigo being one. There are a few other out there and we hope to discover these in our testing!

@mauersegler9894 ahhh! Nice to see a familiar face! We met by his guy a few years back at a trade event. He’s a german importer and supplier of electric propulsion systems. Great video too but I’m not convinced she was planning there was no significant rise in speed and the bow appeared to remain pointing at the sky. Let’s see if we can get XP on test too and try to get some more revealing shots. Cheers for the link, really valuable 😀👍

Hey Kyle, Thanks for joining the conversation! Yeah, god pot about the rain, one thing less to think about! The netting too - simple. As for rowing… I’m lazy you see so I’m not sure 😂 mind yo it’s clearly more efficient in use so it’s got to be easier. As for holding direction I can’t see it being much different. Sadly though, it’s gone back so I can’t give you any further info on that, maybe his fair isle up and ask about their cat dinghy 👍🏼

Yes Ray, in that you are correct. I had to re-learn dinghy driving due to a spinal injury and nerve compression.
