You have a lot of mothers who think their children don't spend enough time with them. Then you have Matt's mom:"Hold my beer".

Your mom is a rockstar. What a great portion of the build!!! fun stuff for sure

You are so lucky to have a mom who's willing to help you with the build. She's a real gem ,but I'm sure you already know that.

I know nothing about sailing, and even less about boat building, but I love this channel. P.S. Your mom is a rock star. I can’t wait to see the boat hit the water.

It is my honor to give feedback to Jannika. You are keeping these episodes running fluently, very good camera work and editing.

Me: terrified to cut an inspection port into my Sunfish for fear of messing it up. Matt: Literally rebuilding a 60ft boat from the hull up.

It is SO cool - and what a cool mom you have, it must be nice to do this together!

20:08 I know what you need from Santa this Christmas (or earlier); a good quality Black Diamond, or Petzl headlamp for these tricky cramped jobs.

I admire your mother. Anytime there is a difficult project, she is right there to help it be successful. You are a very lucky son.

Dont forget harken advise "Lines must lead up to a winch at about a 5-to-8-degree angle to prevent overrides". or you can tilt the winch if the lead is horizontal

The recent work is awesome. Do check the entry angle for the lines on that sunken winch, if it’s under about 7 or 8 degrees you’ll get overrides. I had to fix this on our Express 37 (I added fairleads to pull the line down, but raising the winch is the other option). A small difference eliminated a lot of problems with overrides for us.

This construction with the main sheet traveller are very critical and I am sure a lot of thinking went into this…Outstanding teamwork with mom and again a nice Janni video capture..

Momma bear is a absolute legend it’s a pleasure to watch you two work together

You are a lucky boy to have a Mum like that... She's awesome!

Fabulous, your Mother ROCKS!

Hey Matt, I like you mom. I have a lot of admiration and respect for her. To have the knowledge and skills to help you like she has. And to be able to share that time together. Mom you are awesome. I would have to name the boat after my mom if I was in your shoes. 😉

Your Mom took the words out of my mouth, "it now looks like a sail boat" job well done 🙏🙏🙏

Love the channel and Duracell project progress and your moms a badass for getting her hands dirty with you major win in the mom category

This is a really cool inovation that cockpit is really shaping up. And just to say it is great to see Moma Duracell getting confident and streatching out into those jobs she is doing; those are really impressive skills, I am not just saying that..

Matt, the coamings look fantastic. Those winches are huge, I am visualizing the speed that your boat is going to move, 10 knots plus anyway. Thoroughly enjoy your channel.

Things are really coaming along nicely there! And who knew that you are the son of Wonder Woman????

What would we do without our mom's lol i miss mine so enjoy and cherish your while you have them 😊

Wow... mom's first solo, she will make us proud!

It's great to see parents and children supporting each other. With this great teamwork, Duracell II is beginning to look like the fast and sleek but commodious and family-friendly cruiser that you envision her to become.

Your mom has got to be the coolest thing going on KZfaq!

Hope your moms gets a nice tropical cruise when duracell sets sail. Your lucky to jave her❤

I can't believe that your mom won a championship in sanding. That must be a real factor in taking on this project, knowing your mother has competed in sanding ❤😮😊

Great work! Its fantastic seeing your mum getting stuck in with you.

You have an awesome mother who has a keen interest and helper in your project. 👍

All mothers are fantastic and your mother is a superstar.

Your Mum is worth her weight in gold. Bless her

Wow ! such detail and engineering of each project on the Duracell project. Your Mom is amazing

This has been an especially fascinating episode. I was riveted from start to finish; the quality of the work was impeccable and most impressive. Congratulations!

Beware of sinking the big winch into to combing as you will suffer from overrides of the lines. The lines need a certain minimum angle downwards from the winch. Also I observed that you kind of oversee that all winches turn clockwise, so the horizontal entry angle onto the drum differs between starbord and port. Starbord you enter the winch outbord and on port the lines enter the drum inbord. Make sure you get it right with the clutches, as curently all looks symetrical to me on your combings. Good luck. Ulf

It's great to see your mum coming out of the background and being comfortable in front of the camera. What a great family team; it's a joy to watch! It will impart something intangible, but special, into Duracell. She's going to be a family boat for life 🙂 This is how humanity should be living: working on projects we enjoy and have meaning to us, while involving family and fiends - new and old - and equally being involved in their projects too. You guys are a wonderfull example 👍

Love to watch you do glass. Don't forget drainage around that main winch. (Still can't get over the size of that thing..)

There really aren't words in English to describe the teamwork between mother and son on this project. Both are getting something different out of the effort. You can see it in their eyes and actions. Both taking pride. Both learning and growing ... both refining technique and methodology. Priceless to watch ... Buts thats youtube ...

O come on Matt don’t be hard on yourself the boat is looking fab mate ye mar is a trooper works so hard along side you the combing is a brilliant job an let’s not forget your wife who is behind all the production side of things working so hard so well doe can’t wait for next weeks episode 😍👌

I too had the joy of my mum assisting on my Seafari project in Kenmare, it’s such a joy of joys having their involvement and a confirmation of mutual love and caring for each other and a lot more that I can’t put into words! Fair sailing and happy days forever! SkipRay, Kerry, Ireland.

I can see where you got your work ethic from. Your mum is a great worker!

Your mom is the coolest! So excited to see this project happening. Great work so far!

Good on your mother 👍well done 👏👏

Your mom is terrific. She's really helping it come together. Your kitty is always a treat to see.

The one thing that struck me big in this episode was the sheer precision of those cuts and how everything fitted together so snug, this takes skill that is professorship and beyond. Just such a pleasure to see this happening with all the gang involved. Anyhow great episode once again, fabulous filming, music and the inspector making his presence known. Love it!! sending good energy to all of you....best, Neil.

Looking good, your mum is doing awesome helping out.

Great teamwork. Mom is awesome.

The cockpit is looking better each week and I can see that a lot of planning was involved in the layout, construction and installation!😊

My word guys and girls, this boat is gonna be beautiful again. Really coming along, Matt’s fiberglass work is fricken awesome! Vac pac master

What a trio you guys make!

Great job Matt, good solution sinking the big winches. There'll be a lot of crush on the forward circle of the winch base, no doubt you've worked all that out. I'm wondering also about the water build up below the large winches because water, rain and salt, will get in through the circular hole. I expect there'll be drain holes or even left open on the inside which might make winch maintenance easier too?

Hi Matt, man, your jig saw puzzle is starting to take shape . Some great work as always keep at it mate.big thumbsc up to all.

You are fortunate to have such a skilled, beautiful working partner AND to be blessed with a fine artistic videographer on your team!

On the sunken winch on the coming, you may want to provide a quick release “Ring,” (i.e., a frisbee shaped flat ring a 1” -1-1/2” fat surface ring around the winch) hinged to go up/down with easy pull pin to set normal position but pull out to release ring and release jam. Even if you jam didn’t occur between the coming and winch, it could get James underground winch and make equally difficult release!

You are the only subscription that I've also asked for notifications. Your videos are absolutely the best. Also, I can tell you appreciate having the parents you do. I also had wonderful parents. We're very fortunate; not everyone is so fortunate. I was 14 before I realized that not every father is a hero and every mother an angel.

Boat Inspector approval needed for sure. Looks great so far, the changing shape on the outside of the coamings comes out great even if its not glassed in and painted yet. Good stuff!

Looks great!!

@Matt: You, you got one heck of an awesome mom! That is so awesome that she wants to help so much and looks to always be enjoying it. Talk about family time! She reminds me so much of when my wife and I first got married and I shared my R/C airplane and helicopter hobby with her. We found a club and I took her flying with me. She loved it so much that I had to go get her her own trainer airplane. The head of the club was an awesome teacher and had her on the buddy box and taught her to fly. In that time, I got really into helicopters and built a rather large one. Showed my wife some KZfaq videos of 3D flying where the pilot flipped the helicopter upside down and went to trim the grass on the field with the main rotor blades. That is when we started joking about the flying weed-wacker. For my BDay that year, she got me a custom embroidered baseball cap that read "Beware of the flying weed-wacker." Even put the website we had while trying to get aerial photography side-hustle off the ground, named after the doxies we had at the time: AnkleBiter Aerial Photography. Couple years' of fun as a couple and, when our son was born, and we took a hiatus from the club due to this, when we brought Jesse out at 4 months old, I can definitely say that the club members enjoyed it far more than Jesse who was more or less "Whatever. Why are we here?" Bunch of whole families in the club who had flight in their DNA and had loads of fun. Life has forced us to store that hobby, but still got the weed-wacker and mom's airplane. Sadly, though, probably not going back into the air due to age and eyes getting bad for us both. Still, got the same kit I built my first time in the closet and waiting for Jesse to get old enough. I get the same sort of impression from your mom whenever she is working with you. Give mom a huge hug from the Flying Weedwacker, AnkleBiter Aerial Photograghy Family.

Coamings are looking pretty nice! I like the looks and functioning of the recessed primary winch. It reduces the angle of the sheet up on to the winch spindle some. I was hoping to see the lines leading back to the stoppers through/under the forward coaming. Your mother is a real "keeper"! Not many of those around in my family.

Happy to see you sink the wenches into the combing. It looks so good.

Great episode! More progress! Keep rolling Duracell crew! 👍👍

Such an awesome episode! Stoked on the project, keep on keeping on:)

Love what you are doing with the cockpit , , the winches take in water down the shaft and this water will need to drain out through a pipe or hole in coaming outboard however water will also come in when windward deck is awash, possibly some thing to consider, that winch may suffer from foot rot, love all the vacuum bagging. Light and strong.

I love the calm detailed work. It’s fascinating watching everything happen .. nothing glossed over. I’m dreading the day you finish and go off sailing. Mammy is a legend .. great to see the both of you working together.

It must be so useful to have your Mom being a boatbuilder ! She can tell you all about how to do this project. Listen to your mom, she knows ! 😅😅 sorry Matt, I guess you Mom stoll the show ! Who would have known ?

Looking good!

that is going to be a kick ass boat! .. great job mate

Looking great 👍

Best glass work on U Tube

Another banger!

Awesome guys

Your Mom, small but mighty. Now its all starting to come together. Well done. KEEP GOING.

Fantastic mom you have Matt... Very good job

So funny seeing you guys show up on Magic Carpet.

Great progress this week. The contours are really coming together and we can see you final vision for the cockpit. Your patience with the small one inch parts and that router guard are impressive.

Ya Mums a STAR and also good she gets to join in the build. Something both you and her won,t forget. Coming along nicely. Coming etc looks great nice idea via whinchs although how will you seal the sunken which from water ingress. Keep at it. ;0)

Coming along nicely!

Love your work…. Keep it up

This project is something fantastic! Loving every episode! Well done to all crew.

Thanks for another video. I have learned so much about fibreglass/foam construction from you. Thanks again guys!

So rewarding to take raw materials and an idea and making it into something cool. Looks great!

Matt she starting to look like a very Sweet looking Sailboat. My Hat goes off to Your Mom. She is One Awesome Worker ,now we know where you get your Drive from.

Looking just great , great video and the project is really coming along , fantastic work you three, GL

You have a true love for your boat.

Love the coamings! Your mom is awesome!!

Again Your Mom is Awesome !!!!

Yeah Mom!! You go girl!!

Good job 😊

Simply looks fntastic you guys. And, I REALLY loved the tunes. Just killer!

Mum smiles!😊

Awesome design for the coamings!

I have to say matt missed an epic chance to grabe the funniest of you tube moments of gold

Amazeballs! Great work. Your mom is a champ!

Pretty cool episode. It's fun to see how much talent and knowledge your mother has.

Mom is a trooper. Looks great. Thanks for the video.

Great work Matt and your mom is a champ, always look forward to catching up with your work 👍

Your mom is a champ, she sure has a lot invested in Duracell, respect!

I gotta tell, a cruise in this would be epic. I shall be watching closely if it’s possible.

Your Mom's been a great help. Outstanding team effort in making the cockpit coamings!

Great that you are all looking relaxed this week. Yes I agree it doesn’t look good this week from the ladder view. Just an ugly stage of a beautiful vision😂😂😂😂 I know you have the skills❤❤❤🇦🇺

Yes! Another video
