ABOUT US:
Jupiter² was built in the Philippines by an Australian designer for Jamie. During his time away from work, Jamie lived on board and cruised South East Asia. One of his life dreams is to sail around the world. His plans came together at the end of 2018 when he met a Filipina lounge singer in China. Princess was yearning for a vacation since she had been working many years to support her family. Finally, her siblings got their own jobs and she decided to join Jamie on Jupiter² and go sailing. It was a wild decision for her because she had never sailed before. For the first time, they sail for two weeks around Phuket, Thailand. She began to see what Jamie love about the sea. They both resigned from their jobs in early 2019 and began cruising full time.
Hopefully some inspiration to "Quit Job and Go Sailing".

AweSome Jamie. I am intrigued by the Mumby - Will you be discussing the latest variant of the Cyber as I think that there is a 50 foot version now? What would you change if you could , what modifications are you planning? If you were doing more family type cruising with a crew of 4 around say the Whitsundays would you do anything different.

@SailingLifeonJupiter 3 жыл бұрын

Hey Mark... thanks for the feedback... I'm not aware of any authentic Mumby variants.... I'll check with him, but im pretty sure what you've seen is another builder modifying the plans to his own requirements.... and then using the "mumby" name to get a good sale price. Im not planning any mods at all... although that was not always the case... When i was having it built i contemplated extending the bimini for more shading....galley up pro/cons...etc. But am glad with the decisions i made then. The only small annoyance for me is the cockpit design... I go for beers on a friends little Fontaine Pajot or any other "chartermaran" and they have such a comfy luxurious cockpit... The Mumby cockpit is very functional with minimal comforts. You can makes some comfort with cushions etc... but ultimately the cockpit layout is most important. It's not an easy modification at all, because the cockpit layout affects the queen sized cabins in the aft quarters... and also the huge rear crossbeam extends the entire width, meaning you cannot have walkthrough transoms.... so it would be an entire design change. Honestly Mark for family whitsunday cruising, any of the "condomarans" would suffice...thats what they excel in...a comfortable/luxury apartment that you can cruise around in fair weather on the coast. Thanks for watching Mark!

Great boat, great design, great price. Really 300 all fitted out?? Can' t wait to see the rest. I have read that since a catamaran flexes inevitably, eventually, the metal fatigues and breaks without warning. Any sign of stresses yet anywhere? What about electrolysis? Do you have to stay away from steel boats? Can you stay in marinas? How was the experience with the yard? Is Mumby there? Many, many questions...thanks for sharing.

@SailingLifeonJupiter 3 жыл бұрын

Hey Tone..Yep that's what it cost me... And i've heard from guys enquiring recently that it's pretty much the same cost..perhaps 10% more... These boats are pretty stiff...so no signs yet of any fatigue. I'm not sure of the material properties, but i imagining because ally is soft it would have more elasticity than steel? Anyway, I'm just guessing on that one. Electrolysis is mostly controllable with your zincs... I've had fast zinc erosion in a particular marina (6 weeks) but perhaps we should have anticipated that and hung some anodes in the water also.... No structural electrolysis is evident... occasional pits in the wet bilges... so i try to them dry.

@LoanwordEggcorn 8 ай бұрын

@@SailingLifeonJupiter @tonewreck1 One of the downsides of Aluminum is that it has a fatigue life. If it bends enough it fails eventually. BUT this design looks pretty stiff, which, if so, prevents bending stresses and extends life. (This is the same reason airliners have a fatigue life: flexing of wings, etc., but mostly repeated stretching of the cabin due to pressure changes at altitude.) All metal boats, including Aluminum, have the potential (no pun intended) for galvanic corrosion. Heck, plastic composite boats do too. All that's needed is two metals of different galvanic potential in contact with seawater. (Basically it forms a battery with a liquid electrolyte.) Sacrificial Zinc anodes prevent that by in essence corroding first. Same as zinc on car body panels to stop steel from rusting. All the normal rules for preventing corrosion on a boat apply to Aluminum boats the same as any other. They are not unique in that regard.

Are these still being built there? Since you were there 6 years ago, things might have changed. Availability and price... I love the PI and the people there. I worked on Luzon 1982-1989. Diving off the Banca boats, sailing and windsurfing was great. I built a carbon F-9A tri (31') launched in 1993 but need a decent sized cat to cruise on now. This could be an option but I'm a bit concerned with aluminum.

Hi Jamie, I wonder is there is any benefit also in that a full metal boat would be better at withstanding a lightning hit? My one month old Lagoon 620 got a direct hit to the mast and pretty much all the electronics on board were wiped out. Luckily there was insurance but the totally inept Lagoon agent was never able to get her back to where she was.

@SailingLifeonJupiter 2 жыл бұрын

Wow, that’s a shame….yes Diederik, a metal boat should act as a "faradays cage" and protect the sensitive electronics within… and even be less likely to be hit since it should be neutrally charged being at the same potential as the water itself…. These are the theories anyway… and I don’t want to test it!

Huge thanks mate! Super useful to see how she's built. The same boat built in a first world country would be at least 3x to 4x as much due to labor costs. That's a lot of welding. At the same time, like the relatively simple design which does help reduce the labor somewhat. Glad to see the local lads getting good work at the same time, and the work looks beyond adequate. P.S. Is there a link for the fit out video? Edit: found it: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qLyakqyZ2KvVoo0.html

Jamie, I've watched this video about 40 times and can't quite figure out why there's a double bow on the front part of the deck house or just in front of your bed on starboard and the washing machine on the port side. I'd love to see a video on how they bend the aluminum. Do you have anymore technical details that you could enhance this story for people like me that love details and possibly do another video on it? You could also talk about other details such as design and performance characteristics as well as the difference between a fixed mast base verses going with a rotating mast base for a lightweight performance cruising catamaran like yours. Sail design might also be a good subject but that would probably best fit in a video all by itself. I think five sails is best for your boat but I could be wrong. What do you think is the right amount of sails you should have and why?

@LoanwordEggcorn 8 ай бұрын

The bending of metal is done on an English wheel. One wheel is concave and the other is convex, and rolling sheet metal under force between them stretches one side of the sheet, lengthening it. It takes a ton of skill to make complex curves this way.

Hi! Nice Video :D I want to build my own catamaran, but since I’m based in Eastern Europe, Philippines it’s not an option for me, UE taxes, CE and so on. I have asked in few local shipyards, and they can build the hull without problems, and the price seems to be ok. I read the comments that it’s about half year work for 4 persons the hull, and one year the finish. But do you remember the ratio of the costs on your cat ? I mean, the finish costs 2x, 3x or 4x of building only the hull ?
