bit.ly/4dMbWiX Thanks for your consideration. Don't forget to opt out of the tip for Gofundme so you don't pay an extra 15%.
We are so close to finishing the shell of the boatbuild. Odisea Catamarans have been helping the project by keeping my costs as low as possible but we need a final push to get us over the line...not the finishing ling but the start line to the Elcano World Challenge.

This has been a long trip, you have persevered. Building the hull. I hope the funding is as successful as the first.❤
Top stuff Braith
I started the journey with Peter when he first was with Margarida, and I think another crew member or two. Soon it was Peter and Margarida and that is when I was invited to write a song for them. A short time later Peter premiered my song on episode 265. Really was kind of cool to have my song Sailing to Freedom out there. Later Peter used it for an intro for a while. I am pulling for your great adventure with this awesome Cat. Best of fortune for you. Burlington Bill busking on the road and on You-Tube.
I started following his journey when it was just him and his 3 brain cells right back in the beginning lol
Hes a great character
Good on you Bill
@@nickk5731 If I do recall 2 of them were singing Mariah Carey lol
That lightening with sharks still makes my heart skip a beat.
Good luck Plukky. Can’t wait to see you sailing out on the oceans where you belong again.
Gonna miss the constant chase for water. can't wait for the chase for Pineapples.
Hey Peter,
You know I’ve followed you since the beginning. You’re doing a great job. I just donated a bit of money but you don’t need to weld my name to your boat. Take care. Frank Dority.
Hey Frank. I put your name up on the boat my friend Top stuff
Thinking back on all the ladies you had on long reef add freedom. What a cast of characters. 😍♥️
I stuffed you as few dollars mate for your sheer enthusiasm and drive to pull this off - all power too you, living your dreams 🙂
Great my friend thank you
Plucky there is no other one like you that I have ever crossed paths with. You have gone through so much and still can keep positive.well done mate. To date the Italian girls episodes were such fun. Will be sending a few bucks and may the project succeed. Ps the weight on the roof is a stress point. Watch for cracks in future. Cheers
Indeed. I think i have been lucky... for things to go your way is just about getting up one more time
I love the 'it won't be pretty, but it will sail' approach. Looks sick regardless.
You're a talented dude, so i feel like you can step up the content a bit too :)
I hope that the Go Fund Me goal is reached soon!! Great video its all moving along rather quickly
Nice to see your dream come together now Jeff the Navy vet
Looks to be moving along. Good to see you are getting closer.
Spent 3 weeks in Hanoi in the 1990's. Vietnamese can make anything out of nothing, don't waste anything, amazing people. Not surprised to see them building high quality world class stuff in the modern age.
Love it, Love it, Love it!!!
BIG letters Plukky, away from where the lighting hits please. Good luck with the rest of the campaign.
I wish I could contribute more but all I'm able to do at the moment is like and comment 🤗💞
That's amazing 🤩 the build is fantastic. Your channel is so fun.
The project has progressed at an impressive
rate
I don't think it will take much longer to get to lock up stage Peter .a lot of people will never see their dreams realised Peter but I think you have worked super hard to get it all together for this to happen. Well done mate 👏👍.
The boat is looking fantastic
Scary, that just could be the only truly symetrical boat afloat !
250 to 275k is my estimation
Great to see the progress👍❤️🙏
Defiantly an amazing journey you're only part way through. LETS GO! Very cool man. 🇦🇺❤
This is really taking shape Peter. Love your work mate.
If even half your subscribers donated just $2, yes $2, that would near get you to that minimum point.
So come on peoples lets give peter a hand.
$2 is nothing and we get our own personal guide around the world adventures.
Good to see it progressing so well and even better to see you go for a second round of funding …. I’ll tip something in within the week and please no need to write my name anywhere, seeing you sailing safely again in a catamaran is enough for me. :o))
Yes but i should brent. You have have prolific with your comments and that helps the channel tremendously...top stuff my friend
Put your name on the boat Brent you deserve it.
@@markw6586 Not for me Mark, but very happy to see Barts! :o)
I feel like Chewbacca should be doing some of the welding😂
Plukky, I am watching this build and Leo with his restoration of Tally Ho and it couldn't be more different in the way boats are built it's like chalk and cheese. An aluminium boat and a wooden boat. The time it takes to make this compared to a wooden bout is also totally different. I am loving this series and look forward to seeing it on the water. I also love how precise these guys are compared to other boat builders.... Cheers from Melb.
Thanks for the comment
Ahoy Plukky!🏴☠🔱🦈Watching you from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada. Giving you the big thumbs up 👍and a comment on every vid. Doing what I can Plukky, all the best mate!
Not long no rooter 😎
Looking like it is taking great shape
Great video. Thanks!
You've accomplished a lot in the last year Peter! Can't wait to see it finished!
Hey Brian, Cool video ehh?!! That will be you Bru!
Amazing progress! Made another donation to help assist with the next phase as you work to procure rigging. Looking forward to watching you sail this vessel around the world, accomplishing the challenge of doing so without fossil fuel. I do think you should have a pineapple design welded somewhere though. ;) Best...
Good on you Mark. We are getting there... onwards and upwards we go
The only way i can help is by letting the ads run, which I do quite frequently
Good enough
Well done plucky. One of your best yet. Keep on with the honesty and you will attract the right people to help you get this finished. Much love my man ❤
Goodonya Plukky 🤙🤙keep it going ⚡️⚡️🐉 🧿🌺🐝🐸🇦🇺
OK I was very impressed with the laser baseline set, dead on stern to bow centered... So let's skip that lotto ticket or lata drink and chip in a few beans ..
I gave, what I could this month - How much do you need to finis h the boat properly? It might motivate everyone to support … I think we want you the get this awesome boat up and running in the coolest way possible
It won't be pretty at the end but bare minimum is $60K USD , really it's like 150K but who needs a bed and a toilet and a sink
NeVeR SaY DiE PLuK'ee... many blessing's..Luv ya my bruth'a..🆒💙🌎✌🏽🎯💯😇
Top stuff , you can do anything
Its not really me...i am just a tripod
Ep27, looking good my good man, she is coming along quite nicely. 👍
It’s Looking fantastic Plucky 👍⛵️ if you don’t have a name for your catamaran, ⛵️ Plucky should be some where on it .⛵️ plucky world 🌍 adventures. 🤷♂️😜🙈👍
I join the kick starter crew and won’t to see this challenge happen only small donations but I’m hopeful it’ll go along way
Thanks my friend... your first donation is enough.....onwards....
Plucky the bones of the new yacht are looking good
Can't wait to see her finished
Might want to tell these guys when you use a tape measure it has to be pulled tight !
Let's go people! Make it happen.
Thats a Mono Hull , Hope they are ok in Australia
Great watching the build , film with music
Funds are a bit tight mate, so 100 oz is about all I can afford. Good luck pal, go for it!
Woohoo my friend thank you
,,,,, and the journey continues! Can't wait to see this cat in the water.
Looking good Peter.
I still get chills thinking about the times your boat was struck. I was working on a pair of engines on a Bertram in a marina, and a violent storm rolled through. I stopped working and watched it from inside the salon (engines were as you know connected to the bonding system⚡).The boat in the next slip was struck and shattered all the fiberglass antennae into shards that were everywhere, even 100' down the dock. They looked like sad palm trees. 😆
Plukky we all know who is going to be taking a sleep at lunchtime after holding the camera all morning.
Damn straight. The heat and humidity is debilitating
Let's watch this again!! To help Plukky!! Watch it several times! ✝️🙏❤️🇺🇸🇦🇺⛵️👣🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍🌻😊
Hey, Make sure my name is Pretty Big. Even I'd it's above your head at the helm. Ooh, that sounded like something you would say! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Just tilt your head back and Melinda is right there!!! ❤❤❤❤
I donated. Can’t wait to see you back out spearfishing.
Good on you jason top stuff
Hey plukky top stuff , stormer here 😁 Looking good there my friend.. What country does the mast and boom have to come from , Or is it made in Vietnam?
SOUTH AFRICA
I’d love to help your GFM but shit keeps breaking on my boat Plucky. Bloody expensive. If I come across a bag of money I’ll be sure to contribute
Love the video's great channel just wish video's were longer
Mate...put a higher go fund me amount....and get it closer to want you want..ya never know...😊..Your actually sailing vids are worth it...
You can put in as much as you want mate.
nuthin but quality
Yeah baby!!!!!
Mate, I donated 450 AUD. Please give me more detail on how and where our names will be welded and displayed. Have loved watching your video for a while now and enjoy them very much.
All will be revealed in good time mate.
Nice one
On the columns out back. In episode 28 and 29 i show the spots. Thanks for the donation top stuff my friend, that's great work
But i don't recall seeing your name on the list...send me an email to peter@elcanoworldchallenge.org so i can double check
Just remember to make enough room for those pineapples lol
Must be getting close to having a hopeful splash date, unless you’ll wait for the rig to be finished in that factory or you have a secret location that’s still undisclosed. So much more to come ………😊
Rig will be done here by me
Why not put a wing in front of the your boat It would have to be-able to rise up and down below the water line it would use the ocean currents to move you along
The "we" was made famous by Charles Lindberg. Even titled one of his books that. He was answering questions after flying the Atlantic with "then we did this and then we did that" There were questions/ Making real progress. Can't wait to see the look on Parleys face when you sister up with his cat.
He will have bought his own performance cat by then i guess
@@SAILINGintoFREEDOM Much like taking years to "train" your old lady Hes in for the long haul.
Finish it in Vietnam, everything else will be much more exoensive then there.
If i dont have the money then i can't so will have to sail to get the channel going again
Understand. A lot spots you can save a lot of money. Build the batteries from cells yourself, thats not rocket science and much cheaper, navigation via OPen CPN and isailor/orca navigation via tablet, autopilot computer yachtDevices, fixed solar panels instead of semiflexibel => just seeing the roof video ther are a lot of even areas you cannot or can spare to walk on and with simple L or U brackets can mount fixed panels.
Sponsor means they give you the equipement for free like raymarine or you get discount?
Do they do full welds on all the seams Petey or is it just tacked everywhere?
Full...temporary to stitch it together... otherwise it will leak.like a sieve
Classic line . .. "If it falls, I'm an egg sandwich"
👍
let's get this cat on the water!! As promised Plukky i chipped in another $500.😃
Woohoo top stuff Mark
I recon that buys 3 days cruising
I saw earplugs!
Yay, donor #21... We are on our way.
Yay indeed. I drew your name up last week . Thank you
I want one yesterday!!!!!
I hope you get enought fot a nice light carbon fiber mast and boom.
Nope...too expensive
Great video Peter and great persistence on your part to keep the project moving forward, despite the various challenges along the way. I hope the second round of funding is as prosperous as the first. Good luck.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Silly question but are the team only tack welding the whole boat or will they be doing a bead weld on all of it as well?
Continual welds on all... they are dying some of that now in fact
First here Plukky. I hope I am part of your crew.
Are you planning on insulating the hulls?
Yes
If it's just the shell does that mean no sound insulation?
Do
Like HeavyD, t-shirts and trinkets, for a chance for a week on board… thank me later.
Will your daggerboards be aluminum also?
Yes. Pay attention
How much do you expect the complete ship to weigh? Lightship (tanks empty no stores)
7800
Your play with your self work harder
These videos are going to sell a hundred catamarans for these guys . If they were smart they would fit out the interior for you for whatever you can afford just for the marketing to showcase their work .
After watching a Video on a new Leopard t with something like 17 leaks , heating install that I as a heating tradesman consider dangerous - if it leaks water it leaks fumes . They ended up on the hard and having to separate the mast in the middle for repairs . The boat was so new it was still under warrantee - and they gave the owner a hard time !! leopard should have been ashamed of themselves .
I alway knew a Lagoon was a budget boat not built well , but the Leopard seems to be too . Imagine spending north of a million on a boat and they deliver it will 17 leaks and it needs to go on the hard for major repairs before it is a year old .
Par for the course for those bad cheaply made cats...worst and cheapest materials and bad construction....what do you expect.... everybody should do research into what goes into making a boat
@@SAILINGintoFREEDOM Unfortunately your friend Collin's did not. Now he's stuck with it.
You know what I like about you, Pluckky Perseverance. you never give up. I'm with you for the long haul. so I bought you a couple of buckets on go fund me.🪣🪣🪣
Woohoo my friend...but i only need one bucket to double as a toilet and a sink
How are the new owners of freedom doing ? Are they out sailing ?
Not yet
So who gets to own the boat after all the fundraising and it's built?
Plukky of course.
I just want to know one thing......where's Lisa?
will be on the Elcano challenge.
Coming. Spoke to her yesterday. She is saving up
Do you still talk with 🍹 margarita
Too sad too
"Building the ultimate performance catamaran" it's a bit hard to call it the ultimate performance cat when there's never been one built, it might be a big slow boat. Although highly unlikely to be slow, it's a bit rich to call it the ultimate performance cat when this is the first boat to be built
You obviously didn't see the attention to detail put in on the design of this cat by Naval Architects. She will fly !!!
I didnt know my hand was on the bible....it will be a good boat though.... maybe you should look at other youtuber headlines...most bare no resemblance to their content
How about the good old fashioned, “get a job” and pay for it yourself since you will be the main beneficiary ? Start relying on yourself for change and not what you can bilk unsuspecting viewers.
The world is full of haters. I hope you enjoy the attention this gets because this is the only reward you will get. Plukky's band will reap the rewards of years of edifying and entertaining videos.
@@marklapierre5629 I suppose it’s what you consider “entertaining” thus our differences.
Hey mate whats your problem ?? @vyneleshmynle How about a good old fashioned "if you cant say something nice to someone dont say anything " what a rude and nasty unnecessary comment
@@johnwalker6711 what a planet when someone suggest “pay for it yourself” turns into a nasty comment. You’re a piece of work !
@@johnwalker6711 what a planet, when somebody suggested “pay for it yourself” I mean, what was I thinking,, get somebody else to pay for it. It will all work out in the end
“
Gofund begging doesnt look good. No wonder why..
keep up the hard work Plukky you are a great example of how hard work will make a dream come true. It takes courage to commit to a project of this size it is inspiring to watch.
