Aluminum hulls on YachtWorld. Gawd. Custom 2003 steel cutter. A girl can dream.

William Flower

Awesome that you have the opportunity to do that!

Sailing SV Delos

Ha ha yes that was my worst weld position for sure... Because of that the hulls are actually built upside down, so all the welding on the outside for the hull plates, frames, etc. are done in a normal position. Then after that is complete the whole thing is flipped over and you weld the other side and continue with the cabin top . That will be a crazy day to flip her over!

Keep it up Kazza, we need more women in the trades ❤️👍

William Flower

From what I've gathered through the years, welding on the bottom side of a structure will add a whole new set of cuss words to your vocabulary. It's the worst! Once you master that one, you can take on anything.

Hey Brian, I sent you a note about me trying to purchase an Amel Santorin in Indonesia. If you get a chance to look at it I'd be grateful 🙏. Later gator.

LOL Sorry, I shouldn't laugh. Having a stutter can make life difficult. : - )

Katie Litchfield

I was shocked to see y’all in pants….(wait… that sounds so wrong…😳😅) I was also impressed by the ingenuity of zippering the ventilator belt into the fly of the jeans to hold the jeans up and keep the belt from interfering. Win/win!

Sailing SV Delos

Ha yes and probably speak with a American-Swedish-Australia accent!

Sailing SV Delos

Me too! That and electronics of course :)

Sailing SV Delos

Current specing out a diesel hybrid system but things are still pretty early so we'll see!

Sailing SV Delos

I prefer alu-manu-manu-manuminum!

Sailing SV Delos

Ha ha thanks Katie, yeah that was a 5 minute shopping spree and that's the best we could do on short notice. We barely had any pants to start with, and absolutely none suitable for welding :)

Mark Long

This looks so fun! Would love to do this.

Lon Pribble

I am sooo ready for some Brian and Kazza boat build videos! Still hoping to see some "Brian's Abode" videos of the place in Sweden.

Andrew McLean

I think Plucky is learning a lot too. Hope it all goes well, looking forward to seeing it come together.

SV Raven

My grandfather welded, My father was learning from him, and man do I wanna learn! So much you can do! Even building a boat!! You guys are the best! And you deserve it so so so much. Also the pic at the end waiting for your Tahiti flight is the best. 🤪

Rick Doner

Can't wait to see the build start. Have you decided electric or diesel yet?

Jeff Mack

As if you two weren't already badass enough. LOL

David Walsh

Looks like a great time; except for that last shot in the airport.

Scott C. Wise

Weld, weld , weld, now what's this all about? What I want to know is which are you making this boat out of A-lumi-num or Al-u-mini-um? There's a big difference, you know.

Thomas Lengel

Wow It starts me thinking of the whole world of welding! Im so happy for you!

Katie Litchfield

Is it true? Kazza is so scary good at welding that she nearly scared the pants off of herself? In all seriousness, I’m not surprised by Kazza being able to drop some sweet beads. She’s got an artist’s steady touch which translates well through the welder’s tip. Aluminum can be a real beast to weld and you’re both clearly up to the task of taming that beast. Speaking of magic- how do you manage to capture the overnight airport snooze in such an endearingly accurate way?

Colleen Balch

This is the beginning of a beautiful friendship. ;)

William Flower

A married couple that welds together is double bonded!❤😎

William Flower

This is so cool to see! I spent a dozen years in machine shops and even more inspecting, and one of my brothers has dozens of years welding under his belt, so much of what you are saying makes sense. Knowing that your lives will be depending on these welds will cause you to learn how to inspect for defects and get them right!

Kyall

On ya guys! So good to play a part in your own build.

Michael and Phyllis Selby

So Sierra is going to learn mig welding before she learns algebra. As my Aussie friends say, “good onya cobber.”

Lawrence Forbach

That great to hear about your Boilermaker friend teaching you. I’m a Retired Union Boilermaker Local 83, KCMO

Spencer Norby

Wow, that was a fast reply. Thank you very much. The English wheel will be fascinating to watch. Adam Savage has used them to make knights' armor. I have a feeling his was more than a bit smaller than what your will be using for your forming work. This is going to amazing to see. I wonder if Sierra will come down with an Aussie accent by the time you sail away.

Sailing SV Delos

Big ‘ole agriculture style english wheel borrowed from a mate…. last hull was 5mm and ours will be 6mm so should be fun. apparently the wheel did another 6mm hull so it is beefy enough we hope! Also templates will be CNC cut to form to at sane time as frames. I am fascinated by this process 😀

Spencer Norby

Those really are some sweet beads you've both produced. I expect to hear some real techie talk regarding all the settings and stuff you have both learned. A question if possible though it may be too early yet. Will the sheet forming be done at the cutting factory, or will you be forming everything over frames?
