It's infectious, just watching Nick being excited. I can't watch an episode during the construction and not come away grinning, even if I have no idea what I was watching.
Haha! Yes, it's a very exciting time 😆
James is a gem. He answered so many questions off the cuff that it shows that he knows his stuff. That must give you a really great feeling of confidence in the build of RR2.
Wow just wow really nicely done the engine room separated by a waterproof bulkhead should be the standard across the industry. The aft 3 meters of of the boat is a massive crash bulkhead waterproof compartment. Hopefully never needed but certainly it's a build in a level of safety that will help you sleep at night. Huge progress on RR-2 she's looking really good. Stay safe and enjoy your time in Vietnam.
Allowing this type of access and publication of these factory videos shows the quality and build integrity here. Seawind has no worries about letting us see the details and execution that this build involves. “Well done Seawind.”
The series of shows that Seawind has allowed you to film while building these boats is so unique. I do not know of any manufacturer that lets non-employees access to the building of a boat. So "Thank You Seawind Management for allowing this to happen". Also, love the blistering bright blue exterior of Ruby Rose 2. Have a Magical Day!
Lol, that’s just paint to protect the hull. Our actual hulls will be white ☺️
@@sailingrubyrose I know. 🤔🤣⛵
It's the best advertising that they can get for free.
@@brucesinclair2981 ha ha ha free? I’m sure nothing dealing these 2 is free. Ask the Patreon’s who are contributing big time to this million dollar build.
@@K_R_W Its free for Seawind
But you are right. They must receive a lot of money from their patrons
They seem to be able to have a great life, spend money freely overseas flights travel hotels etc etc
Nick is so geeked out. He is enjoying every second of this build.
So much great information on this video , the best so far
Another big milestone was achieved. Yeah! The access to your first engine is so nice compared to others you have reviewed in other videos. That has to be a big relief and a major bonus for working on the systems when you're living on your new boat. It's looking more like a boat every day.
"....and I've only had one cup of coffee!" Love when Nick gets excited! I don't think he's stopped grinning. Safe travels to London and I hope all is well! Be Safe!
thanks mate
Glad you cleared that up at the end.
😆
Getting closer every single day now!
Those aircon tubes seem to me outstanding - simply great. Easy to clean!
And super - that painted engine compartments.
A little congratulation for you two with ref to CAT tests , Antares got rid of the extra stidd chair & now has a sunlounger on the port side stern which makes the berth under very much higher ceiling , plus an extra 2 x vent windows plus 2 x straight seats instead of curved seating which you made a referance to. So overall a big improvement & maybe your comments on test made them think ? .
Seawind Employee of the Month: Nick!
LOL!
Congratulations on the Yamar Insert too COOL!
Immediately thought Terysa was preggers.
Thanks Nick, for sorting that straight away!!
I recognize that fella from Rapid 60 Romanza sea trials!
I'm so excited for you can wait to see your built boat completed. I have never sailed, flowed or took a vacation anywhere. I live my adventures through watching your channel I'm very happy with that. So I cant wait to see you sailing on ruby rose 2
Huge milestone, and what an opportunity to see the sail drive assembly for future reference
You are now onboard, married and almost ready to sail! Thank you so very much for taking us along with you. I can only imagine the anticipation!
🙏
3 April 2024, Apparently HH has given blue water "maintainability and repairability" considerable thought. Both are also observed in the build video's of HH44OC (hull. 3) shot by their owners Jason and Nikki Wynn. In addition, the exceptional HH installation and accessability of the wiring/circuits labeling verges on being art.
Another big milestone! Enjoying the process of watching The build out of Ruby Rose 2!
🙏
@@sailingrubyrose Guys, there's a scam artist commenting in your comments. I've reported a bunch so far, but you may wish to warn your fans!
Huge milestone, engine install. Nick looks as happy as a kid in a candy store. Can't wait to see RR2 launched. Fair winds and following seas RR2.
Cheers guys ! Can't wait to see Ruby Rose 2 in the water . Engines look great !
Us too!
Congrats on your having your engines installed! I found the change from Z configuration to C very interesting, and your exciting description of how confortable you will be on your engine bays while working on the maintenance. Safe travels for your lady, and I hope everything is well for her back in the UK. I guess that without Terysa’s help you will have A LOT more editing work. Keep us updated and thanks
So great that you've been able to get the innovations of new sail drive tech. Nerding out on this stuff has been a joy! So glad you've been able to tap into the resources of Seawind to make these build videos! As always, stay safe out there!
Just love the series of RR2 and the excitement you show and how informative it all is! Wsuspense
Just epic.
Really enjoying seeing the constant excitement of you two on this new boat build, makes it truly fun to watch.
Ah one thing Nick - if it doesnt already have it - interior lights in the engine bay - either switched or motion-sensing - a blessing when trouble happens - and it will.
Yeah I think the engine bay has lights
Engines look great! Glad there is enough access for those upgraded power monsters. Very, very smart upping the horsepower. I have never had a sailboat where I have thought "Gee I have to much power here". It has always been the wish for just 10 more ponies........
Be happy. be safe
This is clearly an important step, I am very much looking forward to the manufacture and installation of the tray coffee pot and cup we see in the picture. 🙃😉😊
Ruby Rose 2 is really looking good.
Really enjoy these build videos. Cool stuff.
More to come!
A lot of new information for Nick to learn, so he can maintain the boat when they are finally on it. Heaven forbid that anything would break on it in the first year or 2. But he would be ready for anything. Great video! Thanks for sharing!
Super interesting to see this all coming together. I can also see the Europeans, Aussies, Kiwi's etc all cringing as we see folks without safety gear just wearing in socks under the engine, reaching over gantry's without harnesses and I'm still surprised there isn't a gantry crane in operation. I guess that's one reason why this boat would have cost way more from a French yard.
every time i watch a video i keep thinking, what a great resource that will be available for future owner to see what the guts of the boat looked like and how it was put together. what an awesome advert for Seawind. wonder if other boat manufactures will have to start doing similar to compete?
“I feel the need, for speed” Great Video
🙌🏼 Thanks guys!
As usual, very informative.
It’s quite amazing to have watched a couple of lovely amateur sailors / adventurers with no broadcast experience… transform into polished presenters / story tellers, who would comfortably front high quality programs on Nat Geo. Great stuff. Congrats N and T.
Great episode this week! Really interesting .
Glad you enjoyed it!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Love how they lift the engine over the guy's head. 12:59
The engines and sail drives are pretty cool and simple in design and installation. It should make maintaining it a breeze.
Great to see the double access to the engine room
Yeah, there's going to be loads of room, will be a novel experience for us!
@@sailingrubyrose No more boat yoga...how will you ever maintain that flexible body? LOL
Thanks guys
Lithium grease in the ball valves and seacocks 👍👍👍👍
It’s all coming up Millhouse!
😛
With the change to a "C" drive configuration, are they able to operate the engines in Contra Rotating fashion to aid in stoping sideways creep over long passages with the engines running? What props will you be fitting and will you be going with a completely variable pitch (able to be feathered) or just a folding prop?
It's so exciting Nick. Happy Safe travels Terysa!
⛵⛵⛵⛵⛵
IMHO the C configuration is done due to space and perhaps weight distribution. Turning direction is not changed by this move.
@@wjhann4836 Yes I understand all that. You misunderstood my question. When both props rotate in the same direction a hull will naturally navigate off to the side as it crab walks through the water...IT'S NOT VISIBLE to the eye. But the effect exists nonetheless. So much so that single engined airplanes have their engines misaligned slightly to compensate for the effect of a single engine's prop pulling the craft offline. With twin props the effect is greater. Over long distances such as on a open voyage on the ocean, the effect will mean that you will need to correct any given course if not either: a) corrected at the helm via the auto helm, or b) corrected using contra-rotating props which spin in differing/opposite directions on their shafts. See my comment above/elsewhere on the manuveourability of IPS/sail drive set ups.
@@gbsailing9436 I'm with you - and expect that the two engines go in opposite directions - so I assume there are different gearboxes installed.
Nick, you are as big of a nerd as I am! LOL!
Great to see so much progress!
Very exciting 😊
Damn...wish my Mercury had a lower unit drain tube like that.
Very cool to have that as a watertight...I bet Plukky wishes he'd had that.
Nick... how great would it be to have a rubber , ( cookie sheet pan ), under the motor. You would put a oil diaper in the pan, when drips, and crap fill it. You just slide the pan out to one side. Replace the oilie diaper. Hull stays clean. But first u have to design the pan.
Vroom, Vroom! the episode did "Float My Boat".Amazing the progress in the build. Hope everything is OK with Terysa. Might consider making a video of your trip to London. Weren;'t there visa or travel issues related to covid? Be interesting to hear about that. Love you guys!
No issues now. But back in January it was sketchy
Hey Brian- update video coming on Sunday. Everything is fine 😊
We have the same engine and drive leg in a Beneteau Oceanis 45. Have you considered upgrading the alternators to a higher output for faster charging…… ours is a Balmar 180 amp alternator while the standard is around 100 amps (I think) and it’s not an expensive upgrade…. Just a thought.
We are having the mastervolt 200amp ones
@@sailingrubyrose nice, maybe I missed that in the video. Seriously loving the detail of your videos, it’s going to be an awesome boat and thanks for sharing 👍
You guys are amazing. Fantastic work!!!!
Thank you so much!
Thank you so much!
Nice! -- QUESTION -- Why did they reverse the propeller drive from Z to C? I don't see the advantage. From a water flow perspective wouldn't it bet better to have the prop a little closer to the rudder?
I had some serious issues with a volvo saildrive - I assume this could happen to the yanmar also - perhaps discuss with James please:
There is a relative long tube between the seawater inlet and the valve inside the drive. On our boat it happened several times that just this tube got stuckend with sea live. One time our boat was on dry - I cleaned everything I could see - easy look through the inlet holes, but after getting to the sea the cooling water was very poor - nearly overheating the engine. The seawater pump was not able to get over that!
Our maintainer had a trick:
He used compressor + compressed air. Disconnects the hose, connects the compressor to the valve, opens valve and leads a good blow through the saildrive. That helped for some time - but the engine should be constantly used. Otherwise that tube got stuck again.
Perhaps James has a solution - could happen to you also if you stay in an anchorage for more that 2 weeks without running the engines.
Nice video 👌 📹 👍 👏
Thank you so much 😀
Love the boat, those engine bays will be cramped, once they install the rest of the electrical/mechanical gear, of the boat's systems.
Best wishes from Northern Canada.
Nick has been smiling ever since he landed in Ho Chi MinH.
He definitely feels at home there.
If you have time could you poke them about what new stuff is happening with their Corsair tri's? If they maybe have a bigger tri on the drawing boards?
do hope you specified the upgraded drain plugs for the engine - allows you to do oil changes without so much drama.
very cool... I do hope everything is ok in the UK...
Update coming on Sunday 😊
Is the saildrive steerable with a joystick? Would certainly add a lot more control, plus extra helm stations would be a breeze. Great video, thanks.
What prop are you going for Nick? Sail Safe Guys, Ant & Cid.
Engine bay area, Would it be possible to put lights down there now. Add a switch be done with it ? Nothing like the smell of a New engine also Love the new intro for "Rr- ll carry-on
One consideration: What's about having some small side shelfs (don't know how to name) beside the engine. I worked on 2 cats in the engine bay. It was always exhausting since you have to work there for a while but don't have a proper seat to rest on.
Or: imagine, you lost your engine before going to harbour - you have to be inside, searching, working but you have little space to step and you get cramping in your legs - you are not a vietnamese.
Surprising that the prop blade is forward of sail part.
Is their any way to get line cutters on those sail drives?Looks like more to go wrong then a straight shaft.
Will you have contra-rotating props?
Watched a video a while back about the Pro's/Cons of Shaft and Sail Drives. They discussed at length the ups and downs.
Just wondering on why the sail drive ???????????? ......................... enjoy
Couple of questions: how do you clean marine growth out of the sail drive and how do you control condensation around the fiberglass air conditioning ducts?
Fiberglass is a pretty good insulator. A/C air @ 50 degrees in hot humid clime… would not reach wet-bulb on exterior of fiberglass duct. Condensation would only happen at wet bulb temperature. Thanks
Are those sail drives using the forward facing props?
Hi Nick, Would you consider installing engine bay lights? - since you didn't mentioned it. Cheers
So the engine sits to the aft of the sail drive. And the prop is still on the aft side of the vertical drive shaft? Correct?
Yes exactly this. The prop is still aft. The sail drive is in exactly the same position in the water. It is the engine that is reverse mounted in the hull
@@sailingrubyrose thanks. It was unclear in the video. Makes perfect sense now.
Maybe I missed it but are these hybrid motors with integral electric motors?
How does the emergence stop work.
I've had a runaway engine
The Only way I could stop it was to block the air supply. Ie take the air filter off and cover the air intake.
Typically mechanical fuel shutoff
With those 57hp engine on a 1370 it’s almost a Power Cat! Lol all things considered smart choice going with the 57hp over the 40hp. You never know when you need that extra 34 hp, going against tides etc.
Lol, hopefully we won’t be using the engines too often because the light wind performance will be 👌🏻
What a SUPER episode 😂
Need to put a jar out and every time he says super he has to deposit a $1.00. By the time the boats floating your first years fuel bill is paid for 😂 actually was a great episode all kidding aside, been waiting for the engines , as now it’s feeling like a boat !
Thanks mate!
WHEN IS THE LAUNCH OF THE BOAT PLANNED?
Hi Nick, I believe your comments about diesel engines running on are probably no longer correct. In times gone by the injector pump was entirely mechanical, and did all of the injection procedure without electricity (apart from a stop valve). However, modern engines normaly use electronic injectors that are controlled by the ECU. So no voltage would stop the running engine.
144 hp. That is lots of power. I reckon RR2 will give some motor boats a run for their money.
That is a very good point, and I am pretty sure that with the common rail engine you are correct.
Are there provisions for engine removal once the deck is on? Can you get the block out through the overhead hatch, and is it directly over the engine?
I haven't heard you say anything about whether or not you are going to have installed any type of stabilization system? e.g. Seakeeper - I know they can be a little pricey
No we’re not mate
Hi guys, my question is how did you manage to stay in Vietnam for such a long time? What do you do about your visas?
Not a big fan of sail drives. But it looks pretty smart for ease of installation.
It makes it easy
so very awesome!
why did you pick a sail drive, instead of a shaft drive? I don't know very much about boats.
a boat has to be designed from the outset to take a shaft drive. The 1370 engine bay could never take one
A query about the sail-drive and apologies if I've missed a previous explanation.
With the sail-drive reversed, the prop sits in front of the fin? What are the reasons for doing this? Are there pros and cons to this?
Prop still is behind the sail and thrust "pushes" on the saildrive. The thing thats flipping is the engine position above it. Can have the engine forward of the sail or aft of it. Since its a vertical shaft going down through the drive housing it doesnt really matter what orientation the engine is above the saildrive, its purely for changes in layout of the interior of the hull. One could argue that its moving the engine weight further aft, which would come with its own pros/cons like hobby horsing more but it also means you get a different layout of interior space so the overall boat can be smaller since theres not as much "empty" hull behind the engine. Can also think of it as "the engine is going *here* does the boat perform better with the saildrive/prop placement fore or aft of this location".
There are be pros and cons. If you are interested in such matters, you could look into Volvo's IPS drives which face forward. They say they offer between 25-30% better power and fuel advantages as the props are acting on "clean undisturbed" water, rather than hitting water that has passed a "leg". This benefit often depends on installation type, power matching and hull design. They also offer greater manoeuvrability. They have been on the market now for many years and many yacht manufacturers take advantage of the many advantages they offer, particularly on. motor boats. There are a few drawbacks however. YT a simple explanation of these...
Why did you not do shaft drive?
So did Nick manage to sell the Wynns a Seawind?
Ah, we'd love for Nikki and Jason to come and play with us! Hopefully we can get together once RR2 is in the water.
@@sailingrubyrose another joint video is certainly due.
I really don’t understand the reason going from a Z configuration to the C configuration. What’s the reason?
When you add an engine to a boat you have to work on its placement to ensure proper trim.
So weight distribution within the hulls needs to be taken into account when you are designing a boat. After all you are adding 200kg to a boat. It it’s too far forward or back the trim won’t be right.
In this case having the engines reverse mounted allows a different position within the hulls
Bolts too tight,problem ?
Great video - what an amazing boat! Have you ever thought about going electric rather than an ICE? With a combination of wind and solar you can easily harness enough energy to power that catamaran and all the systems. With a 100KW generator as a backup it's problem solved. No more fuel, no more engine problems, no more engine noise, very low maintenance and long life, go anywhere on the planet and never worry about fuel availability or cost. True Independence!
Yes we discussed this at length in our previous episodes with Antoine
Which episode? I can’t find it?
@@curtispons8613 Yeah, I can't find it either.
What is the purpose of wearing your mask around your wrist?
I understand the convenience of having a drain tube on top of the engine. My concern is that any debris in the oil will be deposited and remain in the foot. Without gravity, a strong pump and suction will be needed. Maybe overthinking?
I think that’s the same with most pelar pumps
HOW MUCH TO BUY RR2/....
What's all the blue coating?
On the outside of the hulls? It's because the gelcoat has been polished and they're just protecting it from getting dirty again. They'll just peel off that blue paint when the boat is finished and ready for launch.
@@sailingrubyrose Are the hulls smooth & straight enough to paint and still look good? I've not seen any Seawind cats yet in anything but white, would be awesome for you to be the first on their flagship new model! I know that is the reason you rarely see Outremer's and most production cats rarely are painted as they look wavy so they keep the hulls white as it hides the imperfections.
Curious about the engine, coming from the automotive world. What is the displacement of this 4 cylinder engine? I find it big for 57hp, my car had 63hp when new from factory out of 657cc that seem to be two thirds the size of that Yanmar.
And isn't the torque more important than the power on a boat, and therefore the reason marine engines are diesel powered?
Have a safe trip Terysa.
Surprised you didn't go Shaft with Hybrid engine and regen on the prop.
We can’t generate the power we need using this method
shaft drive much more reliable and less mantainence. anteres do it.
Has Nick hurt his back? It seems like he's wearing a corset type thing under his shirt. If he has hurt his back I hope he gets better soon. Cheers
Haha, no, it's the wire from the lavel mics you can see.
disappointing they dont use shaft drive
