This week brings us a huge step forward, as we finally get a coat of primer on our helm and steps.
This is a project we have been working on here and there since November, with so many tweaks and little pieces coming together.
From the helm that was originally shipped to us in the container, we brought it further forward to the cockpit bulkhead and had to make many adjustments for it to sit in its new place. Steps were first mocked up, and then once it was warm enough out to do glassing in the ambient air of the tent, we were able to build the steps and the storage area that sits next to them.
Now, after bonding all these pieces together and fairing them to a smooth finish, we're able to coat all of it with our Super Build Primer from Alexseal Paint. The transformation has honestly left me breathless and so giddy for things to come! To think that something we planned out and built with our own hands looks like it always been a molded part of the boat, makes me so excited for how the rest of our catamaran is going to come together.
We hope you enjoy!
Thank you SO MUCH to all our Patrons for your continued support. Without your help, these videos, And This Build, would not be possible.

    • @MJSailing

      Part of the reason for the six month process in this, is once we had the wooden template steps up, we could not make new sheets of fiberglass to build portions of the steps and storage until the ambient temperature in the tent was above 65. So there was a three month period where we had to ignore this project before moving forward. 😃

    Genuinely impressed with "6 months in 6 minutes" section showing the work you put in! Phenomenal. And it really does look great - owners cabin and helm are very impressive with primer on. That sports car was pretty darned impressive, too. Genuine question - do you have to literally scrub hard in the shower some days to get off the various coatings you must get on you? I mean more than just soap and water - a scouring pad, for example. Maybe I'm particularly attractive to paint and it's relatives.

    Excellent! - I am curious if the fiber glassing done? possibly some in the engine area? Now trying to envision the floor material and what I would want it to feel like on bare feet. Then would I want to run it continuously from the outside through the main galley. Not sure I would want natural cork- unless it was a no wax or polish product. toured a old aircraft carrier- liked how the old linoleum felt-- which I think had cork and linseed oil in it- plus then being polished. keep thinking replaceable carpet treads on the stairs- swap them out every few years. possibly were they snap on.
