Matt, I built two boat sheds now using old billboard advertisement tarps they have advertisements on the one side and all white on the other. they're extremely durable and if you have a company out in Washington they'll gladly give them to you because most of the time they just go in a landfill. Typical size is 14 ft x 48 ft. it'll take several but they work great and last for years and years
we thought of this too-it's a great idea. The problem is what we need a 50 by 70 foot one.
@@TheDuracellProjectI've got some friends in the sign hanging business. That's where I get all my tarps. The biggest one I've seen was 60 ft by 110 ft here in St Paul Minnesota above a bakery. My friend has a two-stall garage filled to the brim with old tarps I'll see if I can do some digging around and find some big ones over the weekend
Perfect after his request this was my first thought
@@TheDuracellProject They're made from vinyl (aka PVC). You can use plumbers PVC cleaner and glue to weld them together.
@TheDuracellProject @mrFloatmaster suggestion is good. I have done that, out of London to cover a trailer and drove it to Portugal, over 2k kms... in my experience the paint concerning whatever was the advertisement, started to peel off.
Still happy to reuse and delay the carbon footprint, albeit spreading micro particles through France and Spain roads! I only noticed the paint coming out, half way the trip.
In your case no road endurance. Should last longer.
Size is not a problem, I used 2, you can figure out as per availability, it's free material, just your labour to sort out and install, and keep us all entertained 🤩
For Duracell purposes, you might want to consider:
1. Ask the "supplier" about the pealing/longevity
2. Leave the add facing out so any pealing doesn't contaminate the fiberglassing, painting etc
3. Being the U.S., and coz you are youtubing... ensure there are no conflicts with the advertising company, brand, whatsoever, in writing.
Maybe the advertiser will sponsor you!? 🤣🤞
The full 2024 side view of Duracell, at the end of the video, is truly a sight to behold. It proves that you hit upon the perfect height of the doghouse. It's perfection. It looks like she's going 12 knots just sitting there. Thanks for the boat tour.
thanks, Bob😊
The Gothic arches you've made are exact copies of what I and my uncle made in 1973 for his 60ft green houses. His arches are still around and functioning as intended due to two reasons. We made an arch shaped bathtub into which we poured a 50/50 mixture of PBA glue and water. We let them soak but I can't remember for how long. Secondly we painted them with oil based paint. These arches have spent 50 years in the high humidity greenhouse environment and still live today. The wood used was soft wood but not cedar.
Incredible craftsmanship and dedication!Total admiration for you both👍❤🛥️
This is by far my most favorite boat build on CZcams. A great couple and soon to be little mate, with wonderful family help. I always look forward to the weekly videos and progress.
All I see is the Thousands of Hours of dedicated work going into this vessel. Both you and your family should be congratulated to your work ethic and determination. We only see the results of your work, without taking into account the time taken in planning, procuring and execution of every detail involved. Thank you for your recording and documentation.
I have followed from the beginning, but really enjoyed the before and after pictures. It's a permanent record of what you've accomplished. Thanks to Jannie for keeping track of all that you've done. And LaPawz for keeping the quality control at the superior level that it is 😁😁😁👍
It's so great to see the before and afters and watching your amazing progress!!
Wow, finally seeing Duracell full scale really lets you appreciate her lines. Beautiful!!
Wow, Duracell is starting to look amazing!❤❤❤
Never heard anyone personalizing thanks to each patreon….admire both of your work 🇨🇦 ❤
it's just something we started doing that feels like a really nice way to honor our patrons. :)
I'm amazed at what you've accomplished in a few years. It's been really inspiring to watch! It's looking great!!
Few years lol he needs serious help it taking too long
The sideview at 19:40 really shows the beauty of the lines, with the doghouse and hull window cutouts. Very successful transformation.
I watch your videos weekly, but this video made me realize just how far you have come. I too think the doghouse is my favorite space on the boat. I think the higher seats just improve the view. I think my favorite part of your channel is watching both of you, with hard work, determination and long hours building a dream one step at a time. Thanks for sharing it with us.
thanks for being a part of it, Joe :)
Great tour and to see the progress, I follow you weekly, but was still surprised at the progress, it’s amazing what I can forget!! Much love, The Senior Confessor
I love the lines of the boat. I wondered how the dog house would affect the look. Sitting still it looks like it's going 40 knots. 🙂
I'm very pleased to see your channel do so well, it was always going to be an awesome project but with all that support you can really do it justice. Every Wednesday I'm happy it's a Duracell day, I can only imagine what it must be like to step outside and see it in the drive.
it's a dream come true.
Enjoyed the tour! Thanks!
Nice Inspector Sign!! 👍👍🐈🐈
Looks amazing already. The doghouse combined with the hull extension is just perfect.
What a great view of the Before and After. I hope you are proud of your progress which is so incredibly apparent in this video and distracts from the daily "grind" of the little things and the smaller progress. WELL DONE!!!
Beautiful work. Inspired design meets true craftsmanship. Bravo.
I'm into this project for the long haul. I have restored vintage Dirtbikes and it takes 6 months to year in my sparetime. This is on another level. Good thing the inspector is there to keep the project moving along.
The boat is looking amazing, it will be really cool when she is finished! You might be able to find a used event tent, like the use for weddings. Or a cover from a portable building / shelter
Can’t wait to see what the boat has become in the next 3 years or so!
Its looking fantastic, great progress.
If you are looking for something to use as a tarp, contact billboard companies in you area. Many of these companies sell used billboard Vinyl (3 ply, UV resistant, tear resistant). They also sell blank material, but if you use old billboard material (printed), you will be recycling something that might have landed in a landfill, and will get it at a discounted price. Billboards are generally huge, so you may get all you need in two billboards -- or maybe even one!!!
I absolutely love the lines of the boat. Such good proportions and I knwo she'll look stunning at anchor as well as at full sail.
I'm amazed at how much you have accomplished, and then I think about how far you have to go....
Shedfest is going to cover so much of the boat, so it is nice to see her unwrapped for a while. 2x👍 Great video work.
I watched a sermon about patient endurance yesterday and i couldnt help think of you guys! So glad you wake up with duracel twinkle in your eyes Matt dont tell Yani that is glass and gel dust! Joking aside it looks great and very strong. Hope you get all you need from sponsors and patreon to finish it to the standard you are obviously capable of. And why not, it will be great advertising. Good luck with the cover, white polytunnel might not be a bad idea, you would get plenty of natural light through but you may need to put somthing over the beams incase it snags and tears. Roll on the summer! 💪❤
Taking her all in from stern to bow, the transformation is glorious. Aft ship is spacious and functional and much improved over the original and the bow looks tough and really adds to the overall attitude of the hull. Interior, you have manifested the vision and your layout will have major boatyards observing your designs and clever innovations with admiration, if they aren't already.
Thanks for sharing the journey!
So great to get the tour!
I haven't read other comments so I'm not sure if anyone else has mentioned this about covering the shed but billboard tarps are large and very durable. More durable than heavy duty tarps you buy in stores. Also very affordable. Turn the side with print inward for solid color outside. I think they are both white and black. I live in Georgia and see them go for about $40 a tarp and they don't look very worn at all. I think they are 14ft x 48ft so it will take more than 1 or 2 but still something to consider.
Beautiful shed . So happy sponsors have stepped up.
My sister in law created a company that uses used sailing boat sails. If you got just a few old big sails could be a great reuse; a little cut and sow, your good to go!. My brother is a boat guy, the main reason I watch and know something about boat stuff. Love your channel and watching your boat's transformation. Ciao Ciao!
Hi Matt,
One thought about the tarpaulin. It's going to be very heavy to handle if it's one piece. Better to use 2, 3 or even 4. Here in Scandinavia we cover our boats in the winter with thick ones (600 gr/m2 or more). The issue is to put them on, because they are heavy and you'll be lifting and unfolding them over the structure. Trust me better to do it in segments.
Regards to Janneke and the inspector😊
Thanks for all entertainment and keeping our hearts week through the winter...⛵🐆
Very impressive Matt and Yanna you are doing a great job documenting it.
I so admire your long term ambition. I struggle to plan more than a season or two ahead...
What an effort to do largely alone. Congrats on the perseverance and success!!
Already, that has to be one of the best boat interiors I have ever seen, glad to see you have done this old boat so well.
Dear Matt, I am amazed out how resourceful and talented you are and the massive amount of work you guys have done. You have been very inspiring to me as I took on the task of building a custom cosa and carbon bowsprit for my beloved “La Gloria,” a 1987 C&C MKIII. I watched your bowsprit build videos dozens of times while designing, building, and installing my sprit. One think I did different than you was I did not go with the external struts for extra strength for the vertical loads of the asymmetrical and code sails, and the downward loads of the anchor. I used 4, 3/4” carbon fiber pultrued rod as dowels that went through the y sections of the sprit, through the hull, and inserted into 2” homemade g10 with two layers of coosa all laminated together with epoxy and 1700 biaxial glass. Where the dowels go through the sprit arms I created struts that are made of 3 layers of coosa laminated together with 1700 biax, and then covered with 1700 to the inside of the sprit arms. I then drilled the holes in the arms. After laminating the sprit to the hull with 4 layers of carbon and once it had cured, I drilled the holes through the hull. I then glued the backing plates to the inside of the hull and after curing, I drilled the holes through the backing plates and then glued with thickened epoxy. The reason I am telling you all this is that I see you have had to think about how you will finish the exterior of your sprit with the struts, so I wanted to create a different solution that was easier for me to blend into the lines of my particular boat. I’d be glad to share photos with you if you’re interested. Mostly though, I want to say thanks for your hard work and dedication to the legacy of Mike Plant’s Duracell. Obviously a work of love. Best, R
total weight before hardware and paint was 25lbs
Used billboards are perfect and easily glued or welded , I have some and they have been out in the sun now 12 years and still perfect .
19:40 🎉🎉
I love her lines!!!❤❤❤
Shrink wrap is reusable. And recyclable. This would not require shrinking. And it can be repaired and will be waterproof. And will provide light. Tarps will be much heavier.
I started watching from episode 21, i think, and I'm not planning to stop supporting you guys. I appreciate the effort, greetings from Poland
thanks for being a part of our journey.
I there , love the project , its unbeliveable how far you have come! The Boat is looking great and i only have massive respect for you skills. I just wanted to point out that you should wait with the instalation of the footrests because the height of the bench is gonna increase once you put pillows on top. Keep up the great work!
Greetings from germany
Everybody needs an Uncle Larry.
Great to see all the progress all summarized. Congratulations- it is looking great
So much progress and still so much to do! Mad respect to the both of you! Keep up the good work, I love to see the rest of the proces!
It’s amazing to see this progress in one video. Unreal how much has been done in the past years by basically one man. Hats off to you sir.
It is amazing to reflect on how much you have done, Great job and I ( like you) can’t wait to see the finished boat. Makes my little MAT1010 look tiny. Keep it up.
That's not going anywhere is the best dad joke. Great work Duracell, it's a voyage and a journey. Glad to get to enjoy the documentation you're creating.
Love you Guys.. You are my #1 CZcams Channel ❤
thanks :)
Episode 122 : building a shed
Episode 123 : visit from the building inspector
Episode 124 : pulling down the shed
:-)
oh no, let's hope not!! she has been hanging around a lot looking very serious
That boat is gonna be awesome and fast with that huge mast ans some proper sailes. Good job guys
Very creative choice and use of music! It's special, like the Duracell project itself.
Since we only see specific spaces each week we (I) lose the idea of just how big Duracell is. So much space. She'll be a magnificent ship once you take her on her maiden voyage. Well done.
HUGE amount of work! Well done 🎉!
I’m so happy to return to these videos each and every week. I’ve been watching for about two years without missing an episode! Keep up the good work.
Amazing workmanship as always throughout the yacht but for me to throw a spanner in the works. I would sacrifice some headroom in the aft cabins in order to have more headroom and comfortable seating in the doghouse, apart from that you have the perfect yacht
Matt, your boat shed looks like a miniature upside down Noah's Ark. lol For real though, the boat is looking great 👍
Getting there ! Looking great and nice to see a tour nice in a while
Amazing progress guys..good to see a tour!
Keep at it..😊
excellent video, thank you!
Loved the tour,great work
I suppose I'm way too late, but you maybe could go to the farmers who grow hay for dairies. They often roadside their baled hay in big stacks along the edge of the field. These stacks often look about the same size as your shed. They even have companies that are in business to rent out and put on these big tarps so that the hay farmers don't have to own them.
Thank you for the tour guys! Beautiful!!!
It's coming along nicely. I can't wait to see the launch.
Really great progress...can't wait to see the finished project! Cheers!
Keep at it guys you’re doing an amazing job. 🙌🙌🙌
Great video - love the recap! Thanks for doing it.
Matt, I am totally impressed with the quality of the work you have put into this project. I think you maybe disappointed with the noise of the liquid in the tank under the bed in the quarterberth
hay tarps would be a good reasonable source
_OUTSTANDING!_
Good to have a boattour, looking great
I love this channel. Can’t wait to see this gorgeous boat sailing the world!
Great episode! Keep rolling Duracell team! Looks great! 👍👍
As to your tarp, two ideas come to mind, one being the large tarps made for flatbed trucking. These are heavy duty but may be more than you need. The other is pool liner. The mfg. of these can probably fuse together one large enough. It would be heavy enough (20-25mil) and not too expensive as edge beading and color would not be needed. The stock material is white vinyl.
thank you for the boat tour shes looking great
That been a lot of work both on the boat and also the videos. Thank you for letting us share your adventure. Best wishes.
Advertising banners. My wife needed outdoor resistant material for art project, and got for free big billboard banner. One side is white and I think this things go to landfill if not up cycled.
Good job.
Great work! Matt and Yani.
You both have done an incredible amount of work! It's getting there.
Congratulations on 3 years and your amazing building and visual documentation…….Love to you both💖💖💖🇦🇺
Looking good 🎉
Wow what a massive change to the boat 😎 it looks awesome
I cant believe its been 3 years, time flies when your having fun 👊🏻
