The Systems Fit Out BEGINS! (Building Our Own Aluminum Catamaran From Scratch Pt. 23)

We’ve got a reeeeal beefy episode ready for ya today! The systems fit out is officially underway, and we’re kicking things off with the grey water system. But more than that, we’re laying the ground work to start transforming the hulls from the ground up. Progress on the boat is like dominos, and once certain tasks are finished everything starts just cascading in place after. We start fitting the floors, the bulkheads, and a few other fun little side quests too, and the boat is just transforming right before our eyes! It’s soooo freaking exciting to see it all come together like this. We’re learning so much as we go, and as I gain confidence in my welding and just getting more familiar with the decision making and problem solving processes that come with building our own boat, it keeps getting more and more fun! We tried a bit of a different style for this episode, a bit longer and slower, and really leaving in all the details of each project, and some of my longer musings and thought processes behind it all. Do you guys like it?

NEW ENGINE Installation, What Can Go WRONG??? 🫣 (Building Our Own Aluminum Catamaran Pt. 22)

Our engine is heeeeere 🥳 Say hello to our Nanni N.480! Opening up that crate and seeing a brand spanking new, totally clean and shiny bright blue engine is a moment I still grin about when it pops into my mind. Seeing an engine that clean is like the boat equivalent of the new car smell, a special moment in time that you can savor to the fullest knowing it will never look like that again. But the warm and fuzzies would quickly be put on pause as we realize that the hatch where we need to lower the engine down through is going to be one tiiiiiiight squeeze. So we fire up the fork lift, put our noggins together, and get to work!

We HAVE To Get The Water Tanks Right 😬 (Custom Aluminum Catamaran Build Pt. 21)

Having safe drinking water on the boat is a obviously a non negotiable, and the process of ensuring our tanks are fit for the job turned out to to be a BEAST! If you didn’t get enough tank action in the last two episodes, we’re back with the water tanks this time. Having dialed in our methods of sealing on the fuel tanks though, our focus here is a bit different. With the water tanks we need to make sure they are treated properly so that they will be safe to drink out of (we definitely don’t want to drink out of raw aluminum tanks!). It’s a loooot of prep work, and we end up brining in the pros on this one since having clean and safe water is not something we want to experiment with. The whole process is pretty cool, and it’s also an important step to tick off our list before we can move on to the next phase of the build where we can actually start putting in floors, bulkheads, and cool stuff like that!

PLEASE LET THIS WORK 🙏 (Building Our Own Aluminum Catamaran Pt. 20)

We’re back with part 2 of our fuel tank saga! After more than a few failures in part one, we’ve gone back to the drawing board and we’ve got a bunch more materials and techniques to try out. I think these last two episodes really represent the problem solving process we’ve been going through (maybe on a slightly bigger scale than other projects up to this point, although I’m sure there will be even trickier ones to come). The reality is that when you build a custom boat, you’re doing lots of things for the very first time, and what we draw up in the plans or map out in theory isn’t always going to be spot on the first time. But this is exactly what we wanted when we decided to build the boat in this way, and it’s the challenges and struggles that leave you feeling the best once you tackle them! We also take you on a little dive into galvanic corrosion again and installing our anode pockets, which I think covers a lot of super interesting information that a lot of you have been asking about.

I Soooo Underestimated This Project 🙈 (Custom Aluminum Catamaran Build Pt. 19)

Of all the projects on the build so far, this unsuspecting, seemingly simple task has turned out to be wayyyy trickier than I predicted. We thought it would take a day or two to wrap this baby up, but instead it ended up stretching out over the course of weeks with so many trips back to the drawing board that I lost count. Problem solving is something we’re no stranger to on this build, and it’s part of the fun and the challenge…but at a certain point enough is enough 😂 So hop on the struggle bus with us and get a few laughs at our expense while we learn a bunch of amazing new ways that DON’T work!

The Hull is DONE 🤯 On To Phase 2 of the Build (Custom Aluminum Catamaran Build Pt. 18)

We can’t believe this incredible milestone that we’ve reached 🥳 It feels a bit like the end of an era, and it’s time to move Delos 2.0 into her new home (allllll the way to the shed next door to the one we’ve been working in the last 8 months 😂) where we will dive into phase 2 of the build: the fit out and systems installations. Working with the metal has been such an invaluable learning experience, but I’m not gonna lie I’m pretty stoked to start getting into some new tasks that I can really get hands on with a bit more. And as we mention in the video, this means that there is now an opening with Dan and the boys at Stradbroke Yachts, so if you’re interested in learning more about your very own Delos Explorer 53′, head to http://svdelos.com/delos2 and fill out an inquiry form to get in touch.

How We Built a Bullet-Proof Rudder! 💣 Custom Aluminum Catamaran Build Pt. 17

Today we’re tackling a suuuper interesting, super in depth, and SUPER critical part of the build….We’re fabricating and installing the rudder! Like most projects up until this point, it has involved me using techniques and materials I’ve never used before, and had me cratching my head more than once. It turned out to be an absolute BEAST of a project, and it required quite a lot of improvising and creative problem solving, which is as fun as it is challenging. And in the end, we could not be any happier with how it turned out! For all my fellow geeks who like to get really deep into the nitty gritty of it all, you’re going to LOVE this one I think 🥳

Inside Our Aluminum Catamaran: Designing the Interior 👀 Building Our Own Boat Pt. 16

This week’s episode is a little different as we step away from some of the welding and grinding and take a VERY deep dive into how we’ve been planning and designing the interior. We take you along through some of our biggest design choices, explain what materials we’re choosing and why, and we also explain why weight savings is such an important aspect of the build…I know we’ve mentioned it many times in the videos, but I don’t think we ever actually stopped to go into the nitty gritty of why. And by the way, we STILL haven’t decided between the two paint colors for the inside kitchen cabinets, so tell us your vote in the comments below!

Flooding Our Boat (ON PURPOSE!) 💦 Building An Aluminum Catamaran Pt. 15

Normally when you see water rushing inside your boat and rapidly filling up the hull with water, it’s a sailor’s worst nightmare…but in this case, we actually did it on purpose! This week’s episode is pretttttty dang interesting if you ask me. Many of you have been asking about how we will test to make sure there aren’t leaks in any of the welds, and here is our answer: Just fill it up with water and see if any leaks out 😂 We were actually really looking forward to this, not only just to see how solid our boat is, but also for the novelty of hooking up the hoses and splashing around on the inside. You don’t have many opportunities to get excited about water rushing inside your boat, so we decided to take full advantage!

We Left Our Boat Build for 3 Months… and THIS is What Happened 🤯 Building Our Own Boat Part 14

After nearly 3 months away, it’s time to lay eyes on Delos 2.0 for the first time, and the transformation is just unbelievable! If there was ever a time to appropriately use the word flabbergasted….this was it 😂 We left Delos 2.0 looking a bit like a skeleton of boat, and when we arrived back she is really and truly looking like sexy, curvaceous, beast of a boat she is destined to be! Our trip away was amazing, but the feeling we had when we got back was so overwhelming that we are exactly where we should be, doing exactly what we should be doing….it was super validating and had us feeling more stoked than ever to keep chugging away on this project.

ULTIMATE Upgrade! (Trip to Sweden + Factory Tour) Building Our Own Boat Pt. 13

After 3 grueling months in the boat yard, we’ve watched our dream boat start taking shape and come to life before our very eyes! But as our visa for Australia winds down, we figured it would be the perfect opportunity to make a trip to Sweden to get in some quality family time…but not without first making a pit stop in California to visit the legendary Brady & Blue! But in true Delos fashion, you can take the family out of the boat yard, but you can’t take the boat yard out of the family 😂 We take a little road trip to the factory that makes the beautiful and innovative hatches that will keep us cool on Delos 2.0.

The Electrical Backbone of Our Catamaran (I Hope It Works) ⚡️ Building Our Own Boat Pt. 12

We’ve got a DOOZIE of an episode for you today! Join us for our week long saga of installing the electrical backbone that will allow us to move an obscene amount of power from our batteries to our hybrid electric propulsion system. Traditional wires weren’t very practical or affordable (we’ll explain why in the episode!) so we had to get a little creative and explore some other alternatives, and what we came up with is pretty dang cool if you ask me! We’ve got 33 minutes of problem solving, nerdy graphics including us riding a unicorn, and cutting holes in the boat as we dive into this hardcore but oh so rewarding project!

BULLET-PROOF Steering System for Our Aluminum Catamaran 💣 Building Our Own Boat Pt. 11

After MONTHS of wheelin’ & welding, it’s time for our first major system install! And it’s one of the most critical pieces of the puzzle when it comes to performance, safety, and reliability: Our steering system! I have to say that I am beyond excited for what we’ve designed, and while the process was full of challenges, I really enjoyed shifting gears a bit. In this video we’re gonna break down every step of the way for you, and we’re also going to dip our toes into our hybrid electric propulsion system, a topic that also makes this engineer get wayyy to excited 🤓 🛠️ 🙌

FIRST GLIMPSE: Tour Our Aluminum Catamaran Build!

For the first 3 months of our boat build, we were constructing it in an upside down position to use gravity to our advantage during the welding process…but now we finally flipped her right side up (in quite the spectacular way! check out that episode here if you missed it: http://svdelos.com/buildpart10 ) and we finally get the chance to really see what our boat will look like (spoiler alert: we’re in LOVE!). So join us for the big reveal as we do a walkthrough of our custom aluminum expeditionary catamaran!

FLIPPING Our Boat with a 60 Ton Crane 😱 Aluminum Catamaran Build Pt. 10

The day we’ve been waiting for is finally HERE! It’s been an incredibly cool and incredibly challenging process to get the boat to this stage, and after 14 weeks of grueling labor we’ve finally made it to one of the biggest milestones of the build: THE FLIP! We’ve been building Delos 2.0 upside down to let gravity help us out with all the welding, but now that all the bottom parts of the hull are finished we’re ready to flip her right side up, a task that is no small feat. We bring in a team of cranes and seasoned Aussie pro’s, and what ensues is one of the wildest things I’ve ever seen with my own two eyes. We felt both feelings of excitement and accomplishment, along with a TON of nerves as our dreams and savings dangled in the air from a 60 ton crane. So buckle up and get ready for one heck of a ride in this week’s episode!

72h And A MILLION Things To Do 😳 Building An Aluminum Catamaran Part 9

The countdown to the flip is ON! In 72 hours all 5+ tons of our boat are going to go flying through the air, suspended in the sky by a 60 ton crane. We’ve got people flying in from all over the world (including one verryyyyy special guest that many of you can’t get enough of) for the festivities, but the question is….will we be ready??? We’ve got a to do list that just won’t quit, and a very hard deadline, so at this point there’s only one thing we can do: Put in our ear plugs, fire up an entire workshop full of the loudest tools on planet earth, and get to work! Let’s Goooo!

12 WEEKS TRANSFORMATION 🤯 Building Our Dream Boat From Scratch (Part 8)

Wowzzaaaa, our minds are completely blown 🤯 Is anyone else just absolutely floored by how fast this build is coming along?!?! We’re 12 weeks in and it’s pretty unbelievable to see our dreams become a reality right before our eyes. Delos 2.0 is looking more like a boat than ever, but with our flip date fast approaching there’s no time to slow down. We tackle some sweet projects, and although there is lots of work still to be done on the hull and structure, we also need to start researching and thinking about some future projects too so we can start getting materials ordered. So we go on a couple field trips and start looking at some hardware, flooring materials, and even make a little trip to the city with the family!

This Part Could Make or Break Our Catamaran (Building Our Own Boat Pt 7)

This project is one of the HARDEST and also most CRITICAL parts of the build. Today we’re tackling the fabrication of our crossbeam and longeron, and if you’re scratching your head and asking what in the world is a longeron…don’t worry you’re definitely about to find out! It’s already a tricky enough process as it is, but we encounter a few more bugs in some of the components and we have to do a bit of improvisation. But as always Dan and the team don’t miss a beat, and we’re able to get creative and work through it all! The problem solving process of building and maintaining a boats is something I truly love…of course there are times I’m swearing and questioning our life decisions, but the feeling when you crack the code and see it all come together is really like nothing else!
