My Project Catamaran Gets Sealed Up! | Wildling Sailing

Good luck to you, make some changes /modification get rid of the lashing system, build yourself a dog house water tight

You are getting there!!!!

I'm guessing you know about stove fuel alcohol to clean up epoxy. Nicer than acetone.

Keep at it mark

In NZ Maori , Mahi means WORK ..you have yours cut out for you..well done mate.

One goal done on to the next ... nothing in the world more satisfying to a sailor then knowing the boat you are on is seaworthy and you have made it so ... and you get to sail it around the world ... 😊😊😊😊

Man you always pick hard to fix boats .WHY

Excellent work! You've made great progress. I'm repairing a 1940 seaplane tender constructed of double diagonal mahogany planks and oak ribs. My plan is to fit it out into a liveaboard. Lots of work to be done still and no more than yourself the wet weather is the hardest part. Keep it up!

Watching your video's makes me want to buy a boat. Now I have been looking at yachts for sale and I have started saving.
I think something like Good Tidings or something a tiny bit bigger would be good as my son wants to sale with me.
Please keep the Video's comming, your doing a fantastic job. I hope you have many happy sailing days to come and good luck with your project.
I hope Yoshy is doing great also.

Bag off water can help in tight spaces to weight something down

Filly filly hole!

i’m really curious about this, what are u gonna do for sink drains and the toilet? i mean the toilet i understand to use a compost one even tho i really dislike those but the sink holes?

Been waiting to see your progress.

Well done lad great job don’t let the clever dicks get to you some sad people in this world ,for me you always do things to the best you can with the budget you have and I am sure you will test everything to the far end of a fart before you do any serious sailing ⛵️, waffled on again mark sorry lol 😂

The edits in this are hilarious 😂 👍🏻.

Great stuff, Mark!

Am going to get the boat i bought tomorrow in northern ireland.

Very good step, no more holes under the water line, must give you much more confidence when you are back on the water.

Hey Mark. I hope you are good today.. Listen when the drone flew over in the beginning of the vid it made me wonder if the hulls were on the right side of each other.. Right is left and left is right..? Can it be possible? Maybe why it was hard to steer with the rudders? I'm probably wrong.. But could this be possible?? Nice job filling the holes.. Peace man Rolfie

Don't you need to Palm something through those two holes I thought you always and have three holes for some reason 😎

The JAWA shirt picks him out as a fan of esoteric old things. I've had a mind to build a JAWA bobber for a few years.

Great work you are doing for the boat. Can I ask you how wide is your hulls at midship accsoss the top of the hull. Not the beam of the boat. Distance from bottom of hull to top hull deck at midpoint. I would appreciate this info. Thank you sir.

5 mm of steel in the Hull and they make him get it inspected! hahah crazy....

What is the background music running through the video??? It’s brilliant…..

Comb your hair for heavens sake.

I love it!!

I'm Takako who you helped me with on Kokernoot.
After all, when running, the temperature of the engine rises, so
Ship directly to Kadoelenwerf Jachtservice,
I had the owner's mechanic check it out.
As you said, there is a lot of air left in the water pipe, and the water is not circulating to cool the engine.
I got the air out and the water started to circulate in about 30 minutes.
I am currently in the center of Amsterdam.
Unfortunately, I cannot call your cell phone from my cell phone.
So I posted on your channel.
I look forward to your channel.
thank you. Takako

NEW SUB HERE.

Well Dang dude I'm noticing you're getting pretty far with this it looks really nice!! Good job man!!!!!

You do the repair work very well. I congratulate you. You teach how to for beginners. You have a very good helper. Thank you very much for sharing your teachings.

I would have a head at least…what ya gunna do bucket and chuck it? If your living on it don’t you want a toilet at least?

Maybe use sandbags or bags of lead shot to weigh down the backing plates. The bags could conform themselves to odd shaped spaces.

Hi Mark, we enjoy watching your channel, having done a number of boat projects ourselves. We are from New Zealand and his in the indigenous maori language
MAHI means:

to work, do, perform

1. (verb) (-a,-ngia) to work, do, perform, make, accomplish, practise, raise (money)

Now, isn't that befitting!
Cheers
Rob and Maren

Nice video

Those west system pumps are crap mate. We used to use them but only alongside some scales

Hi ,may i ask why every you tubber even those in europe HAS to use west system epoxy??
You can order in the netherlands ( where you actually are) several alternatives ( mr baot,polyesterschoppen just to name two) which are perfect for the work you’re doiing.
Just remember you are in the country where 60 % off the superyachts are build ….so why not use the local products,
( maybe west systems suplies for free as ad,,??,that would be a good raison off course!!)

I would have bolted it onto beam...make it solid....screws not up to job and strain it will take

I hope you buy reliable outboard motors.

STERLING WORK MARK OLD BOY.. YOUR SKILLS ARE. FANTASTIC.VERY FEW CAN DO THE WORK U ARE A NATURAL AT THIS WORK..WELL DONE INDEED . YOUR MUM AND DAD WILL BE GLOWING WITH PRIDE FOR YOUR AWESOME WORK AND INTERESTING VIDEOS..

Hi Mark
Any repair on a structural part of a boat especially a beam on a catamaran should be scarfed in using clear timber with no knots using a taper of 15 to 1 each end to maintain the full structural strength. Clear Douglas fir is readily available from timber yards.The last thing you want is a beam failure at sea.

You're making great progress. Keep up the great videos

Keep on truckin’ on

Mark, you hit a home run with the soundtrack, I watched the episode 3x just for the music.

Been watching from the start, did I miss the why no through hulls? What are you going to do with sink waste and grey water?

Jack & Jones...???? Never heard of them... But, of course, that's neither here nor there. Outstanding job on the refit, video, and editing!

oooh guy, you are definitely cool, restoring such a project, but count how much time and effort it took you to do this, if you took out a loan since you don’t have any savings, and bought a more durable boat or catamaran, then you would have repaid this loan a long time ago and enjoyed the sea. Definitely thank you for sharing the content on how you restore the nicromancer. You have gained a lot of experience in repairs.

Piece of advice about plugging holes. You don't want to put plugs (cylinders) you want to put in truncated cones in (negative) truncated cone holes. Idea is, you're no relying on the epoxy to hold the plug in, you're actually putting the plywood to work (which is in reverse for the rest of the hull, most of the strength comes from the glass). Idea is, if you ever, by bad luck, strike a plug, which is a non-zero chance, you won't have to worry about it cracking. I know some people think it's ok, but i strongly believe that those kinds of holes (and in general any repair under the water line) should be done with beveled edges. It's more work for sure, but nothing a good chamfer bit can't do in a jiffy. jm2c
