Ep. 30 WE HAVE A PROBLEM - A shell plate is BUCKLED ! Performance catamaran boatbuild or bust.

Here is the link for the gofundme

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. Give it a thumbs up if you liked this episode!

Does anyone remember Peter gave his boat away and had other boats donated to others who had dreams of sailing? Most people need to go back and see the generosity in every area over the years. (Newbies here on the outside looking in. )

I remember Peter giving away his gear before he gave away his boat. He would always fix up the local fishermen's spear guns with new rubbers. Plukky is a top shelf guy.

Jeffrey is the guy you want when you are doing this kind of build. Your just can't beat experience. I love the air cooled jackets that everyone wears. I have to get me one of those. Plucky you should sell them with the Elcano Challenge on it.

Another episode done. More to go. Every episode never put me to sleep especially the welding, cutting and grinding. Top Stuff.

[VonBluesman]

Catch the problem early and remedy the situation. Those engineers are really smart, kind, very helpful, and always in a good mood. I hope you get caught up on your sleep. 👍😎✌️

Safety 3d, welding and breathing in a cloud of welding. Give that guy a raise.
I knew you’d keep an eye on’m, things happen in a big job. Great content Plukky, really 👍 good.

Hey Peter, can’t wait to see this boat finished ❤

[rayb]

when problems come up, Jeffrey always has a solution. Glad he is on top of things and cares about the build.

[MickeyWilson-ywce]

heavy duty boat building, these guys rock !!!

[EdHelwig]

Hopefully your generosity to all the people you met on your adventures will return and help you meet your GO FUND ME goal Plukky. Great to see the progress.

Great video Peter, you really do have a good team of professionals on board, problem found, problem solved.

[billyjames]

These guys are awesome I don't think there will be too many problems they haven't seen before.

[kristaready]

Very cool to see them problem solving on the spot! 🤗💞

[LifeOnTheHulls]

Nothing like a bunch of straps to hide the problem, good catch mate.

[priit]

Impressive work, and so good to see the boat coming into reality. Very inspirational and motivating! So, so thankful, such a good guy you are and a cool boat it will be! Keep it up and all the best!

G'day Pete, i once heard (living in Portland, Victoria, where there is a big Alcoa smelter) that aluminium is electricity in solid form. To run the smelter, the government installed a 500KV transmission line from the Latrobe Valley all the way to Portland. Thats about 500Km. At the time (and maybe even still) it was the only 500KV transmission line in Australia (and maybe even the world?). Sure made the place hum when the humidity was high.
It occurred to me watching all the welding of those big shell plates today that your entire boat will basically be solidified electricity! Should make zapping around the world easy-peasy! 🙂
Take care of yourself mate. This is a massive task you are undertaking, and I can only imagine the stress and sustained effort you are subjected too - that we who watch at home in our lounge rooms cant possibly imagine. You are doing great things and are appreciated.

Great video the boat's looking awesome

[cardinalsfanforever]

You better get this boat finished buddy, I need some more Plukky adventures on the high seas...lol. Love the building stuff. I personally have never seen a boat getting built from scratch.

The kindness and respect Plucky showed to the Guna people of the San Blass islands is laudable. I remember a man in a canoe whos snorkel mask was held on with a kalvin klein underpants waistband which had lost its elasticity. He got a new mask for his troubles and plucky remarked that the man would probably just take the rubber off the new mask and continue to use the old one. Behind the Bluster and online youtube channel persona there lies a deeply honorable decent uber intelligent proper human being in the best sense of the word. I think that anyone who ever crewed with him would attest to the fact that hes actually and how do i say it without hurting his feelings.... a gentleman. Sorry plucky but it needed to be said.

Captain Peter ! Great handwriting! Like a professor or a graffiti artist!
