I love that you are showing us the details of construction. These guys are some real professionals.
I'm so happy for you Plukky, great to see such quick and efficient progress in only 5 days...I reackon you will have a hull in maybe six weeks at this rate. Cheers from FNQ!
Good on you mate…
Wow Vietnam is the manufacturing future! That was impressive.
What an absolute treat to finally see things underway. Good on ya mate!
Wow Plukky what an incredible team you found in Vietnam!!! I am so happy for you and it’s obvious they have some very skilled workers in that factory. This was well worth the wait Mate and we can hardly believe how GOD worked things out for you. Brilliant Mate, just Brilliant. Cheers Plukky.
You’re right, they really know what they’re doing. What incredible technical progress they have made in the last 10 years.
Great to see this boat finally coming together. And no disrespect, but I'm glad you elected to have a professional team put it together for you. Looks like they're doing an excellent job. La Vagabonde just had their new Rapido Trimaran built there in Vietnam. Had a massive amount of bureaucratic BS to wade through to get it out of Vietnam once it was finished, though. Hope you don't run into too much trouble in this regard. Looking forward to seeing this beautiful boat come together. Congrats, Plucky!!
Looks like a very, very strong structure. Odisea is doing great work! Lucky Plukky!
I think your shell will be built in 6 months or less the way they're going. Pretty exciting!
Great to see it all starting to happen.
When I see a person’s dreams coming true it’s like having my own dreams come true! Especially if it’s someone I care for and admire. Good on you Capitan
Good on your Eric...thanks for your kind words and also for your very regular comments and support.
Peter!!! This is absolutely fantastic!!! 🎉🎉🎉 it's happening people!!!
Indeed it is Deb - my number one fan
@@SAILINGintoFREEDOM I can't tell you how much I smile seeing this come together for you. Couldn't happen to a better person!!
At long last you can see the start of catamaran that will be the eye of all who see and sail her
It’s going to be fun watching this cat come to life. Aluminum is a great choice. Solid.
Congrats Plucky, all your hard work has made it happen. 😎👍
Amazing to see some hulls being formed.
Great to see the build start🎉🎉🎉
Looking amazing Plukky!
I really appreciate you filming your journey and the build of your new dream
So looking forward to watching this unfold Plucky! Bring it on…! 👍🙏
I reckon at that pace you'll be floating in 6 months, all ready to go. Maybe that's enthusiastic but I believe in you Plukky.
Greetings from South Australia. Nice to see your boat in progress, Peter. I am looking forward to seeing the complete build. Thanks for all your past videos.
So Proud you took the leap of Faith 🎉
Good choice, my Friend,,, much better to have the expert team build your boat. I wager 3.5 months to complete the shell. Good luck! I anxiously await your return to the sea. 💖💖💖💖
I'm so excited for you plucks. My guess is 44 days. Nice to see a spring in your step. Well done Odessa to get in on the challenge!
Good stuff Peter, what an amazing place to build your cat!!
Nice to see the dream beginning to evolve into something tangible 🤙
They do bloody good work Plucky, compensation for distortion and tidiness along with attention to detail are out of this world. Those standards are insane. Look forward to seeing your boat grow 👍👍👍👏👏👏🏆🏆🏆😎😎😎
Wow, no mucking about at Ba Son mate. Actually seeing something physical in front of your eyes must be energising. Well done to everyone.
Good to see things coming together on the boat build. Looking great,Peter!!
looking forward to watching how this team knocks it out in 4 months for bare boat, fit out 5 months + delays = 10 months
Plucky, you have done it all, you have lived! But it's great to see that you're dream is being created. Soon you'll travel the world, and I can't wait to see!!
Glad you are getting a new Cat. Longreef was such a nice boat.
Awesome!!! Amazing its coming together so fast. Those dudes are the real deal. At least you know no reef can harm your shield of aluminium!!!! Its the Viking Cat!!
It's so awesome to see the boat build getting started. Love the detail that your are including like 5083 aluminum and why it's used in the marine industry. Top stuff Peter and much appreciated.
How are you going to act in a beautiful clean boat? The girls will now be fighting to get aboard this beauty. So happy for you mate. Well deserved.
Thanks for the update, Plukky. I figure 5 months to weld the frame. Don't forget quality control and redoing welds .
😊
I’ll follow Albert’s lead and piggy back he’s estimate of 5 months to complete. Awesome insights with the build construction. It’ll give prospective customers great confidence that they’re not only buying the “fastest” and best “value” catamaran… but also the “safest” … with its oversized keel. Woohoo. :o))
I got a brief shock when I saw the overlap at 5:14; that's not allowed. Thanks for the immediate clarification that this is only a temporary retaining plate...
My forecast for the finished hull is 5 months at this rate of progress.
Thanks for the video Plukky!
Yes, common textbook backing plate welding. I approve.

I am very fortunate to have some very learned Friends on my side like Albert and Braith and a host of others on my Chatgroup. Good on you guys...if you see something suspect then let me have it but these guys really know their standards. Head guy has 25 years with total experience of more than 100 years - episode coming out on this soon
This is fantastic Plukky. I'm so happy for you. Can't wait to see her in the water 🤗💞
Beautifully clean fabrication shop 😍
Happy to see you’re finally getting progress. The first builder that I see built upright. Most aluminium builders build up side down.
This is truly astonishing Pete... how you actually pulled this off is well beyond me! This looks more like an 'intergalactic spaceship'! Congrats mate... build of a lifetime! Crack on!
Happy like a cucumber about the progress, I love how much you smile since the start of the build. 😍
Wow, astonishing how quickly a build can progress with modern materials and practices. I'm gonna be repeating myself a lot in the coming videos, just so happy for Plukkie. Looking forward to many new adventures in this remarkable vessel.
It's impressive how they are building it right side up. I've never seen it done that way before besides wooden boats. I really like that extra support on the bottom but I bet that adds quite a bit of weight. That extra support will for sure protect your boat if you were to hit something with the dagger boards or if the hull takes a strike. That's a nice option!
And here it is moving fast and forward !
How exciting to see your boat being built. Fantastic!! Enjoy. Greetings from Greece.
Very interesting plukky, these guys are perfectionists and don't muck around 👍, best of luck mate, very exciting 👌👍🙏🦘
Actually , Alu increases it"s strength through ageing.
I am working in automotive engineering , I am impressed by the way they control tolerancting.
In automotive , they sacrifice the tolerance on the passenger side to make the fit and finish on the driver side look good.
Here they rectify the problem by compensating the center , eliminating deviation.
the comeback will be legendary
Great to see the work progressing on the boat. Its going to be fantastic
Very impressed! It's better than I thought you were getting, but I had no idea you were getting such a kick ass cat!
Fantastic news you must be so happy .
I recon you're building a game changer here. Steady as she goes master bates. Aye aye seaman staines.
I'm not sure how many will"get" this reference butt I do, and I love telling the story of Captain Pugwash and the BBC's excellent sense of (adult) humor!
Great to see you have started the journey towards a new boat. Looks great. Best of Luck and a fair wind.
Love the construction video. Keep them coming. As a now retired manufacturing person, I understand everything they are doing. Gantt charts, standards etc. Most of my experience is in steel, but I am familiar with Al. I say, like others, about 12 weeks to complete before moving to interior.
My estimate is 45 days minimum. Good for you Plukky to finally have your dream catamaran being built. Yes, they do not lose any time, however I do hope you can get the structure built fast. At this rate of progress I hope you have all the structural wish list items on the drawings. What about your Swisse young lady that was to help you with your end of the finishing work? Take care and once again congratulations.
Great start Peter, stunning design.
My guess is 3 months complete hull. Awesome to see the progress and technical stuff!
Was thinking 3 months but put me down for 89 days.
six weeks
i'm saying 105 days
This is so great to see Plucky!! I will definitely start following again!!!! The factory and people building also look awesome!!!!
Awesome footage. I look forward to each video, Plukky, you are the man!
Really excited for you Pluckster. As a fellow owner of an aluminium cat I've always been a fan of the Cyber 48 but thought it needed a bit of modernisation along with saloon windows profile change, all of which you have done. It's gonna be one hellova boat. Keep up the build vids.
Great to see your happy smile and the CAT build starting. Yard teams look professional, this gone be a piece of art 💫very nice too see your dream coming true
It's coming together nicely, loved seeing around the building plant.
Learning about other things they produce there was cool! Thank you for sharing this exciting journey with us all on YT, really looking forward to following the build.
Very exciting Plukky. Funny to see you in a hard hat! Vietnam built La Vagabond's trimaran so it seems they have become excellent boat builders. You have survived many things and have risen from the ashes. It will be an amazing day when you set sail again.
They do? Yuck. Don't understand the attraction of monohulls with wings. Ok, it rides flat. But it's still the same 2-3 suffocating layouts monohulls have... V berth double bed at front that is never comfortable, lounge area in middle, then kitchen, with people either sleeping on the two sides on the lounges or in two "coffin" berths in the sides at the rear. If you're going to build new, if you're going to have something that's going to cost more than a monohull every time you dock, then build a dual hull catamaran with a floor connecting everything together, that has more space, everything accessible from inside instead of climbing "outriggers" to dig through looking for things (if they have any storage out there at all).
@@teeanahera8949 I think you need to slow down and read what people are talking about before launching into replies. No catamaran ever built has a V berth. Because catamarans don't have the main monohull up the middle like trimarans do... which is what ronm3380 mentioned La Vagabond's new boat is, and which is what I was relying to. ;-D
Risen from the ashes indeed
I gained 30lbs in Vietnam over 8 weeks, watch out for those night markets man.. they will stay with you for ever
I can't wait for the Plukky 48.
Top stuff Plukky!! Good on ya. It's great to see the concretization of this dream.
Ive not been watching as much CZcams as i used to, but i am PUMPED to watch this beauty come to life!!
wow, last I seen you floating ariund parlay in san blas, old cat a distant memory. Super happy to see an alu build, my favorite material. we built 2 alu cats and several alu patrol boats. I lived on one for 3 years and will be using one as my retirement home
Great video Plucky and your boat will be built quite quickly I think. The Vietnamese workers obviously have pride in their work. Relating to wind turbines I saw a video where they have 400,000 old blades to dispose of in Texas. Cut into 3 and buried. Sustainable energy but at what cost to the environment?
A bloke I met who had a cat, sailed it from oz to UK. The name made me chuckle. It was a cat named Cat-astrophy! Legend!
Best of luck with the new boat fella! All the best!
Congratulations Plukky!
May be going to Thailand after the holidays. I'll be in touch.
Plucky, I'm a boilermaker from the Gold Coast and the same age as you. I was dubious about the quality of fabrication and welding from some south east asian countries. As most have cunning ways of cutting corners. After seeing , the weld preps and weld sequencing and quality of the laser cutting and methodologies this company uses, I am totally assured, they are doing everything the correct ways 100%. You Plukky , can rest knowing this will be one mf strong boat, congrats man on doing your research before jumping into this project. Real jealous now mate 😊
Brilliant news Plucky, so pleased for you and indeed the team behind the build. Top marks mate 👍
Magnificent! I'm going to throw out a guess of 8 months to complete the shell with all those guys working on it 6 days a week. They get more done in one day than you (or anyone else) could do in a week. Manpower! If a build takes a shop 10,000 man hours to build something that they know how to do and have all the tools, it would take the average builder at least three times as many hours working mostly alone. Spending time getting set up and cleaning after, going out to get supplies, getting occasional help when more hands are required...
Yet many inexperienced boat builders think they can do it in less time than the professionals. Dreamers who usually sell the project after a number of years of work and they are burned out and beginning to see how many more years it will take.
Can't wait to see them performing.
We're really happy to see the build started
This is awesome Peter!! First congrats!!🎉 you’re just glowing as you explain what’s happening the shear delight in your voice is infectious. Finally thank you for sharing the build with us.
Wow it's going to be an amazing cat
Plukky, you worked hard for this boat, which is greatly deserved. Can't wait to see you sailing on it. 6 weeks
So good to see physical progress after such a long struggle. Good on you mate!
Lesser men would have given up long ago.
I'm sure the struggle is far from over but you are obviously made of the right stuff.
Can't wait to see it sailing.😢
Just keep going.....just keep going...just keep going....has to come good eventually
Plucky. Their production is very impressive.
From Portugal : Way to go Plukky !!! Can't wait to see you sailing again...
Happy to see finally things are in progress
Yes, 125K views! Your semi-successful sailing vlog is back Peter!!!!
Awesome. Your life will change for the better with such comfort and technology.
I worked 3rd shift at the Quincy shipyard Boston.. Welding, tacking dogs and moving bulkheads. Salarmies to fare hull shape. Welding is art melting metals what a joy.. you gotta try it relaxing hard work. Good pay ~
Talk about a Jigsaw puzzle . It;s going to be a mighty fine vessel when complete . One could say , a real Babe Magnet 🤣🤣🤣🤣. Well done and congratulations on what has been achieved and how far you have come from the early days ..👍👍👍👍
Really pleased for you and also that you are taking safety so seriously. Maybe you won't break this one😉
Sorry I haven’t been on for a while Plukky. I’ve just met up with Colin - Parley as he has just arrived in New Zealand. So excited to see progress!
Congrats Peter! exciting times! Yeah they're not messing around, you're in the right place by the look of it, if they break out the bamboo be a bit worried, though bamboo is strong too 😁
Its a big adventure to build a boat from scratch with the best materials and people, to make it a big succes 🍀 I hope you get it all together as soon as possible 👍 I follow all your living dream, the ODC 48! Good luck!!!
😊Outstanding!!😊
The build party starts! So happy for you! Take good care!
Congratulations Peter! Can't wait to see her finished, good luck!!
Glad to see you finally getting started. Not seen anything like the size of that yard. I find it amazing how Vietnam has developed since I was there setting up a business in the early 1990ies. They are a people that t really want to get things done.
Check out the yard that Seawind are using in Ruby Rose's videos, they had something like 10 Seawind 1370's in a row in a single isle of the facility.
Thanks Plukky.
Great to see it springing into life. Well done Plukky
3:57 hey that's the same circle that shows up over fish that are about to be speared.
Nice video, excited for the progress!
Wind turbines on massive scale is all a scam, i build them. I also go into the field and do repairs. If your country is all in on "green" energy get ready in the future to "load shed" often. Plucky, the boat will be a beauty.
