The Craziest Batteries We’ve EVER SEEN 🤯 Aluminum Catamaran Build Pt. 62

Join our inner tribe & get access to exclusive content just like this, plus all our videos early & ad free, invites to meet ups, and lots more! http://patreon.com/svdelos   Ahoy Delos Tribe! This week’s episode is all about something that will quite literally become the heart of Delos 2.0… our batteries! After too many late nights going down every electrical rabbit hole you can imagine, we came across a company here in Australia doing some really innovative stuff — including solid state lithium batteries that are unlike anything we’ve seen before. They’re lighter, incredibly powerful, and are going to be a total game changer for how we power the boat. This one is pretty techy for all my fellow geeks, but also suuuper fun and interesting even if you’re not super into all the technical details. This is going […]

Join our inner tribe & get access to exclusive content just like this, plus all our videos early & ad free, invites to meet ups, and lots more! http://patreon.com/svdelos   Ahoy Delos Tribe! We’re starting in on a series of episodes that are probably some of the most exciting ones for me…we’re about to make some BIG strides in the progression of our electrical system! The next few videos we’re going to introduce some crazyyyy tech that has me grinning from ear to ear, starting with this bad boy right here. We hope you enjoy this process as much as we do 🤓 and make sure and leave your questions in the comments, I’m so excited to share this process with you all!   Interested in getting your own Delos Explorer 53? www.svdelos.com/delos2 You can find all the camera gear […]

Why We Need To CLOSE UP THE BOAT? Building Our Own Aluminum Catamaran Pt. 60

Join our inner tribe & get access to exclusive content just like this, plus all our videos early & ad free, invites to meet ups, and lots more! http://patreon.com/svdelos   If you’ve been following along with the previous two episodes, you know that we’re DEEP into the project of installing the windows. All the salon windows and hatches are in, and now all that’s left to do is the hull port lights (the windows that are inside the cabins). They have a very unique and stylish design, and putting them in marks a huuuuge milestone for us: Delos 2.0 is officially all closed up! We also realized that at this point we are creeping up on the two year mark on the build, which feels just truly unbelievable. It has simultaneously felt like the longest and shortest 2 years of […]

Most Boats Don’t Have This Many 😮 Aluminum Catamaran Build Pt. 59

Join our inner tribe & get access to exclusive content just like this, plus all our videos early & ad free, invites to meet ups, and lots more! http://patreon.com/svdelos   This week’s episode is all about HATCHES, and this is a day we’ve been looking forward to for quite some time. There are a lot of special details on the boat that will really make her stand out, but this is one in particular that we are beyond stoked about, and give Delos 2.0 a really cool modern look. You might recall when we were in Sweden in 2024 we stopped by the Rutgerson factory and got an inside look at how they were made, and ever since then we’ve been anxiously awaiting this install! There’s a (slight 🤣) chance we went a bit overboard on the hatches, but honestly […]

This One Change Transformed Everything 🤯 Building Our Own Aluminum Catamaran Pt. 58

Our Patrons get access to exclusive content just like this, plus all our videos early & ad free, invites to meet ups, and lots more! http://patreon.com/svdelos We’ve got a BIG project kicking off in this week’s episode that is going to be spanning the course of the next few videos. 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 Never Seen This Done Before 😮 Building Our Own Aluminum Catamaran Pt. 57

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 NOT Painting Our Boat (And Here’s Why) 🧐 Aluminum Catamaran Build Pt. 56

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 […]

Farewell Delos: The BIG Goodbye 😢 Sailing Vessel Delos Ep. 529

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 […]

Full Steam Ahead: Cabinetry, Wiring & More 😮 Aluminum Catamaran Build Pt 54

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 […]

Built Like Our Lives Depend On It 😳 Aluminum Catamaran Build Pt 53

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, […]
