If you want more information on the Odisea 48, 55 or 62 then send an email to peter@elcanoworldchallenge.org
The boat build is in full swing....and I am still worried about sponsors though. Still chasing sponsors, it is going to be a difficult task this year.
The Odisea 48 from Odisea Catamarans has just started to get built in Vietnam. The design is complete, the paperwork has been done and now the factory has had 4 days to start the job and they are welding like madmen. Finally the wait is over, the Elcano World Challenge will begin in 2024 people.
If you would like to help the project along then become a patron and get access to exclusive content.

I never saw myself as someone who watches a boat being built. It seemed like something that was really freakin boring. However I have found myself being sucked into this series. One reason being I love this channel, but also it's actually turning out to be something that really holds my interest. Damn it Plukky, you got me hooked...lol

This speed of work is something completely different from all other youtube boat building series! There's gotta be some sweat flowing from those other channels- your crew is setting a new standard- all other boat builders worldwide are being put on notice...IF they even have the courage to watch. Just amazing.

All power to the yard and hoping they get loads of orders. I would love to see the staff having turns on board at sea enjoying their handiwork after the build. Top stuff Plucky.

@troublekaliman 4 ай бұрын

While europeans welders/builders are absolutely impeccable and meticulous, these build engineers have multiple decades of experience and many very large commercial vessel builds under their belt. And they have developed a faster way to achieve the same quality and strength- this could shake up the boat building world to its core.

True that. But, like he said he should be able to get one of the many engineers to do some filming for him while he does some "human" interest filming outside the factory. The company has a vested interest in getting noticed. He could also tag along with some of those fn amazing welder dudes to their homes. I can't believe some of them wouldn't love this fun time with the Plukster.

I look at the reasonable doors in the bulkheads on this boat and think to the Lagoons and and how different they are , no wonder the 450's broke . Openings too big and not enough bulkheads left . The loads on a big cat are massive . In my mind Lagoon sacrifices strength for looking like cottage to sell to people who don't know any better . Yours looks designed to cross oceans with the right compromises . Cats have unique issues like a bow can be on a wave going up and the the opposite stern on a different wave also going up with the opposing bow and stern in a trough twisting the poor thing , that and no safety valve of heeling to dump a sudden squall . They have to be really strong and this build looks to check that box .

Cables and wires. Are they put say through tubing with mechanical seals to keep water intrusion or air extrusion? Wondering about seals etc. for that job. This is very interesting. Also on the inside welds you mentioned. Maybe they weld the inside plate first from outside the inside hull and then weld the outside from inside the hull. Nah, nah, nah, say that. Inside outside sounds like a boat builder's song. Good job Peter on stepping up the technical build game. Proud on you!

Plukky, do you have a wish list on Amazon? If a kind person were to purchase you a new GoPro, you would have the ability to set up a timer to have the camera start videoing at a given date/time. That way you would be able to capture a time lapse on Saturdays when you are not at the factory. Top stuff!

Sailing La Vagabonde on youtube. They recently splashed their new beautiful carbon Rapido 60ft trimaran which was also built in Vietnam. But had a few delays. They could be called a bit eccentric or something... but definitely do some interesting videos. And I really think Elayna and her designer went completely out of the box on the interior.
