That’s was terrifying to see how close the sharks were to him. And the footage he had from a flashlight. He keeps going no matter the circumstances. I admire his tenacity.

Ok. I've been watching these videos and I'm wondering what makes these so strong ? I'm thinking maybe with time and rough seas, flexing etc. how will all these welds hold up. If a couple fail will that add more stress to other points. Obviously I'm no engineer. But I do have a boat. Great job with the videos. Very interesting work. One more point. What would happen with a lightning strike.. Hey you wouldn't want another one of them .. top stuff.. 👍

Sashi is a shoe in, 100% gets my vote. Quiet and understated but a doer and a fixer. Has his own boat so skillset not exclusively electronics. Born in Guam so probably a millitary background . You wouldnt know he was aboard till the going got tough . Id go to sea with him no problem. Apologies Sashi for being so pass remarkable but the captain did ask. I think you'd be a great asset to the boat. With respect from the wild and wooly west coast of Ireland.

Can you explain the welding technique please. It appears to be many spot welds, never a continuous weld. Is that for heat distortion? Are there multiple passes? Are all final welds continuous to ensure water tightness? Does all the temporary welds fitting up upset the final strength? I wish I could join you. But over 80 and some health issues.😢😢😢😢

I love Brian & Kazza, but why are they going to ‘learn to work’ on building their own aluminum Cat? They will be grandparents by the time they finish the whole thing. Even after the body, deck, and exterior done, just getting the interior properly fitted out can be a long process. I guess they want to leave a nice boat to Sierra. 🤓⛵️⛴️

how thick are the panels on the hull? this one seems built more like an airplane with thinner skin but more internal bracing. How did you decide on the compromise between lightness and impact durability given the thinner skin? Like for example hitting a floating steel container or a reef

If you want a crew I believe your going to have to change a little, nor do I mean becoming Woke. But your going to have to learn to listen, watch and learn, but stay silent. You can't be listening, nor learning when your talking and if you wish to have a crew, some of whom may be smarter, wiser and better prepared then you, then you'll simply need to admit that and keep on learning until you become like them, while retaining who you are. Good-Luck and Good-Bye. The End. AD.
