We’re installing the windows! It’s quite an intricate process to get everything perfect, and so we’ve brought in the pros on this one to ensure that it goes off without a hitch. And MAN do the windows change the look of the boat! It looks so sleek and amazing from the outside, and its looking more and more like it belongs out on the water every day! We also do a very deep dive into some of […]

We’ve got a suuuuper exciting project for ya in this week’s episode…We’re diving into our dinghy lifting system! And I think we’ve come up with something super convenient, very sexy, and quite different than anything we’ve seen on any other boat. The system we had on Delos 1 worked alright, but it had it’s shortcomings for sure, and that was one thing we really wanted to improve upon on Delos 2.0. We take you through our entire thought process behind not only the lifting system itself, but the design considerations of the roof, plus the whoooole process from install to LIFT OFF! To all you sailors, let us know if you’ve ever seen any other boat with a set up like this before!   Interested in getting your own Delos Explorer 53? www.svdelos.com/delos2 You can find all the camera gear […]

We’re back at it in the workshop, and in today’s episode we do a deep dive into a topic that we’ve gotten sooo many questions about: What kind of finish will we choose for the hull? There’s a lot to take into consideration like corrosion prevention, cost, ease of maintenance, and of course how sexy will it look 🔥 And I think we’ve managed to strike a good balance with our final choice! So the team gets to work on this MASSIVE undertaking, and the results are SCHMICK! And in true realistic fashion to what life is really like at the build, we mix in a few other fun side quests just keep everyone on their toes 🤣   Interested in getting your own Delos Explorer 53? www.svdelos.com/delos2 You can find all the camera gear we use, our must have […]

Welp, the day has finally come 🥺 Today’s episode is one that doesn’t even feel real still. I don’t even know where to begin with describing how this episode feels, so I think I’ll just let this one speak for itself. But one thing I will say, is that no reflection on this journey would be complete without the hugest thank you from the bottom of our hearts for you guys…none of this would have been possible without you, and no words can ever express the gratitude and love we have for each and every one of you. And with that said, grab some tissues and let’s do this. Also, please let us know your favorite memory of Delos in the comments below, we can’t wait to read which moments stood out to everyone 💕   Interested in getting your […]

This week’s episode is a bit of a mixed bag with some veryyyyy exciting progress! We start to do some of the first permanent installations of the floor, we get some of the cabinets for the cabins in to see how they are looking (spoiler alert its INCREDIBLE 🥹), we’re plugging away at the wiring, and of course we can’t resist a few fun cheeky projects like installing our light up speakers that will go quite nicely with our famous smoke machine parties 😂 Weeks like this at the yard are so satisfying because it’s great to have so much visible progress and LOTS of wins in so many different areas…feels like we’re getting closer and closer with each win!   Interested in getting your own Delos Explorer 53? www.svdelos.com/delos2 You can find all the camera gear we use, our […]

Ahoy Delos Tribe, we’ve got an amaaaazing project to share with you this week! It’s arguably one of the most important systems on the entire boat: our anchoring system. The anchor and chain is what keeps us and our boat safe every single day and night when we’re not at sea. Trusting in the strength and durability of every component and it’s construction is what lets us sleep easy when the wind or swell picks up, and that in and of itself is priceless. In this week’s episode we do a VERY deep dive into every aspect of this topic and take you from start to finish, we even wire everything up and test it! Such a fun one that we’re very stoked to share with you, we hope you enjoy!   Get behind the scenes with exclusive bonus content, […]

Ahoy Delos Tribe, and happy holidays! We hope this week’s video finds you feeling relaxed and full of love ☺️ We’ve got a super fun episode ready for you, and it’s a moment that my inner geek literally could not have dreamed of alllll those years ago when I first started getting into sailing. Designing and bringing to life the ultimate engine room has been SO fun and SO rewarding, and every time I look down in there and see how awesome it looks it just puts the biggest smile ever on my face! We take a deep dive into the whole process, and share all the thought processes and decision making along the way as we take you from a bare aluminum shell to this fully tricked out man-cave! Sending lots of love from all of us, and thanks […]

This is one of those spaces that can totally make or break the overall feel of the boat. Having a spot that flows well and is super comfortable makes the sailing experience SO different, and we’ve been on boats that we LOVE the layout and ones that we don’t, so we’re taking what we’ve learned over the last 15 years and applying it here to craft our dream helm station. It’s crazy to imagine all the experiences we will have there, and all the places it will take us…imagining Sierra on her first watches and controlling this 53 foot beast of a boat from right […]

We dabble into quite a few different topics like planning out the wiring, deciding whether we will paint, wrap, or sand the finish of the hull, and sooo much more, definitely a little something for everyone in this video! Also, in writing this I just realized this is our 50th boat building episode which feels crazy actually! We hope you’ve been enjoying the build vids as much as we have, and […]

In case you’ve been wondering what’s been happening with Delos 1, we’ve got a suuuuper exciting update (or should we say upgrade!). The time has finally come to do something about our Volvo that’s been on her last leg for a while now, and we need to decide between two options: Rebuild our Franken-Engine from the ground up, or swap her out with a brand spankin’ shiny new one. We weigh the options and costs, and go full steam ahead with our choice. This episode is a super interesting one if you’re a 🤓 like me, we hope you enjoy it!   Interested in getting your own Delos Explorer 53? www.svdelos.com/delos2 You can find all the camera gear […]
