Kyle Jachney (Bluewater Yachts) and I talk about how some classic fiberglass sailboats were built with far more material than necessary, resulting in exceptionally heavy designs. They were incredibly strong, but all that extra weight had a major impact on how they sailed. 📗 Get My Book: https://bethecaptain.com

Watch the full episode here: https://youtu.be/b1p18nIhSvk Things don't always go according to plan when you're building a custom boat. There's no playbook that we're following, and while we've put tons of time and research into designing all our systems, you can't fight reality. Just because everything "should" work doesn't mean it will. And in this week's episode we hit one of our first snags in our propulsion system. We've been getting a lot of questions around the complexity of some of our systems, and I think this is a great example of what that looks like in reality. We actually love this process, and we enjoy the challenge and the problem solving. We're trying to pull off some pretty ambitious stuff, and when it works, there's no greater feeling. And when it doesn't work, well that just means it's time to try something different. The build is definitely more about the journey than the destination, and obstacles like this are what's gonna help us build an even better boat than we could have imagined! We hope you enjoy this one, and definitely let us know what you think in the comments below. Watch the full episode here: https://youtu.be/b1p18nIhSvk
