Powering Up Our Dream (FOR THE FIRST TIME!) ⚡️ Aluminum Catamaran Build Pt. 64

Grab our brand spankin’ new Delos 2.0 Bottle Openers: https://shop.svdelos.com/products/sv-delos-bottle-opener   Today’s new episode features a pretttty huge milestone 🤯 After the last weeks spent crammed in the forward tech space tinkering away, we’re ready to put some power in the system and see if we can bring our Combi electric motor to life! This is a crazy moment that logically of course we knew would eventually come, but somehow it feels so surreal that it’s actually here! Reaching this phase of the build things are moving fast and slow at the same time, and so many of these systems and projects that we’ve been chipping away at over the course of the whole build are really starting to come into their own, and every day Delos 2.0 is feeling more and more like a boat and not just a […]

Building the Brain of Our Expedition Catamaran 🧠 Aluminum Catamaran Build Pt. 63

Grab our brand spankin’ new Delos 2.0 Bottle Openers: https://shop.svdelos.com/products/sv-delos-bottle-opener   Ahoyyyy Delos Tribe! The nerd-fest continues in this week’s episode, but we’re taking a slightly different direction in this one. In the previous few episodes it’s been all about the tech and what it’s capable of, but in this video we’re more focused on the practicality of how it’s going to actually fit together in the boat. Space is the one thing we never have enough of on a boat, so with the help of Conor we’re going to take you on a suuuuper deep dive into how we will go from a tiny, empty room to cramming 20 some-odd pieces of gear and batteries to create an efficient and well functioning layout for everything. We hope you enjoy nerding out on this kinda stuff as much as we […]

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!

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 […]
