time lapse of us cutting a custom mold out of high density foam for a 30ft powerboat. https://bandbyachtdesigns.com/

Our livestream seems lost in youtube wonderland but we recorded all the footage locally during the race. After pondering what to do with 115 hours of footage it I decided on this 60x timelapse which compresses each hour down to 1 minute. I don't expect people to actually watch this obviously but scrubbing through it is certainly fun. The video plays at 60fps which helps preserve some detail. Unfortunately stringing that many clips together, the tacks didn't quite line up with the gps track at the end but I gave up trying to fix that. I also added a "tack counter" and the wind vector arrow being displayed is a 1hour average of the data I got from the race which greatly smooths it out. Enjoy.

Working on the full version

3 inflatable sausage rollers were used and positioned under the boat deflated. We used a 2 stage electric inflator like for padleboards or wings to inflate and lift the boat then just push!
