Extending our Aluminium Catamaran | Aluminum Catamaran Build (Ep. 105)

Extending the sugarscoops of an aluminum catamaran. Join us as we extend our catamaran! This project has been over 6 months in the pipe works, join us for an exciting episode as we cut up a perfectly good boat and extend the sugarscoops! ________________ ABOUT US: Ahoy! We are the James Family, a family of three sailing around the world and sharing our adventures in family-friendly episodes every week! Sam is originally from New Zealand, Cait is originally from the United States; we met in Cairns, Australia and a few years later during Covid-19 we eloped and then a year later our family grew, and we welcomed Charlie! We took the big plunge in 2022 and decided to follow our dream, sold everything, and purchased an old, unfinished, aluminum Catamaran and we are now fixing her up as we sail around the world. Subscribe and follow our journey! ________________________________________________________ If you missed last week's episode, watch it here: https://youtu.be/gPs7dnMbyz4 Boat tour of our project boat, an Aluminum Catamaran: https://youtu.be/RhyaasimV9M ________________________________________________________ Chapter Content: 00:00 - Welcome Aboard 00:48 - Biggest Refit Project 01:30 - Main Objectives of the Extensions 04:22 - Chopping up a Good Boat 05:17 - Crowther Asymmetrical Hulls - How we designed the extensions 06:50 - Extensions Going On 08:17 - Bulkheads 10:49 - Framework 12:59 - Swim Ladder 13:59 - Extensions Complete _______________________________________ You can support us making sailing videos by: Become a virtual crew member by becoming a PATREON! - YOU are making these videos possible! https://patreon.com/Sailingwiththejamess You can make a once off donation for the price of a cup of coffee! https://ko-fi.com/sailingwiththejamess _________________________________________________________ SOCIAL MEDIA https://www.facebook.com/SailingWithTheJamess https://www.instagram.com/SailingWithTheJamess/ THANKS for watching!
