Bassman

I can't wait for this!!

Kirk Boston

Looking good so far. Can’t wait for some of those time lapses.

Rick

So cool to see Delos 2.0 coming together!!!

Stephen

Looking forward to all the technical discussions! Get as nerdy as you can. 😉

Andrew Berry

Would be great to hear more about the boatbuilders (other than Brian), their background etc

Sadie Johnson

I feel like before today the only time I had seen Brian with his shirt tucked in was when they were clearing in/out and needed to look “respectable” 🤣 I would love to see how the actual laser measurements are done to make sure it’s all level and true. Not sure how much the lasers will read on camera but that could be cool! And as always, I want to know about the hybrid electrical system and how that will work with electrolysis/corrosion prevention.

Trudy and Chris

This is exciting stuff guys, amazing progress..!! Love the video.

Zak Verduyn

Great video! I’d love more videos of all the nitty gritty details. Also, what camera did you get for the new Timelapses?

Brian Richardson

I am impressed that it's already that far along. Very cool to see. Keep moving forward.

Bonne Mike

That Ship is enormous! It looks like two airplanes being assembled . You two look so happy. Hard work always agreed with you. I hope we can see Sierra at Day Care soon. That will bring back some memories of the 70's for me. Keep 'em flyin

Paul

Looks like the makings of a star wars space ship.. 🚀

lowell mccormick

As a draftsman & metal fabricator I'd be interested in seeing Brian go over the dwgs and explain the frame numbers, the piece marking system and how you use the dwgs to fit up the parts & pieces.

Brendan Gregory

Thats super cool guys, and how interesting to see how the space is used. looks like not a lot of wasting aria and something an aluminium build can provide.

Rick Betancourt

I think some in-depth explanation of different components/compartments as they get done would be great. You explain stuff that are difficult to understand really well and so lean on that.

Emily

Her embryonic bones are clever. Can't wait to see more!!

Fried Toast

this is happening way faster then expected. thats awesome.

Dan Moss

Ooohh this is awesome and so excited for you. Bring on the technical discussions, I can’t wait.

Bill Dapp

Very Exciting! Starting to look very cool!

Eric G Miller

Amazing!! I love all the technical details, keep them coming. I'm learning so much. That and I cannot believe how huge it looks. I'm blown away and so excited for you all.

David Cooper

Amazing! Sooo complex! How long did the fabrication take to this point? And what is the approximate time-line for the boat's completion?

Mark Gumprecht

Looks amazing! The miracle of cad, and cnc cutting. Can you imagine laying out and cutting all those pieces by hand? Makes things go together really fast! Major shifting of gears in your lives! But sailors are very adaptable, and good problem solvers. It will be great for Sierra to be around other kids her age. Is there anyplace for me to send you a picture of a tool that might be helpful on your project? I call it my can’t live without tool that I have been using for many years on boats, and all the other projects in my life.

Thomas Lengel

How exciting!! I would say its coming right along! Looks beautiful cant thank you enough for the opportunity to see it come to this point, and it looks plenty new! God Bless. Enjoy it in Australia! Oh Boy!

SV Sirene Spirit

Wow that is a big cat, an incredible undertaking for you. Are you going to paint her? Don't hesitate to message me if you need labour especially in electronics/electrical. I'm only thirty minutes away. How did daycare go for Sierra? Take care.

Jeanne H. Mathieu

If she did not allready had a name (Delos 2) she should be called „Beast“ 😜😜😜 Kazza in Jeans 🤣🤣🤣 when was the last time we saw that 😜 So much energy and anticipation for things to come among you 2.

William Brandon Kahler

I would like to know how much easier will it be to do engine room work on D.2.0 from Delos itself not to mention the heat from the space.

Sandi Romih

Thanks for this update. The build is looking amazing! You asked what we'd like to see more about, and I was thinking that it would be nice to get a detailed overview of the the English wheel and how one uses it to achieve the 3D shape in the aluminum plates. Other than that, I'm also interested in hearing about all sorts of details, like how the bows are welded together (one side is easy as you have access to inside and outside of the plate, but how does the other side get properly welded on?), order of operations and perhaps some info of the general processes required to work with aluminum. I helped my old man build a steel yacht while I was a teenager, and a lot of the methods would be similar, but aluminum is tougher to work with than steel, so I'm eager to hear about all the tricks. I am planning on building myself an aluminum cat soon, so I am trying to make mental notes of the processes. Thanks SO much for sharing this journey. I really appreciate it!

CATHERINE HACKETT

This is so exciting!! I have no worries re:documenting this massive undertaking. You've always done a good job before on everything else. What an incredible experience to be involved in the construction! Brian seems to be in his element learning new skills and applying new techniques. So happy for you both!!❤️⛵️

Matthew, Jenna Hauck svMakai

As I sit in the Bahamas and out on the AirCon for a couple hours, I think about what if the insulation was better. Could I run it with less power? Would it retain more of the cool when I shut them down?

Krystal Couture

Manifesting a dream with a lot of elbow grease! Great job and beautiful build!

Tom Worrell

You're doing a great job. So interesting - just a model kit only BIGGER {-{}. Looking forward to the time lapses. Also wonder how you'll get to the inside of the hull plates to weld them? English Wheel? Glad to see you're both so excited. Looking forward to seeing how Sierra does in DayCare - I'm sure she'll have a great time.

Mickey Finn

Hi Guys from Annapolis. Heading down to the marina, taking the boat out with family to watch the Blue Angels show for the USNA Commissioning Week, class of 2024. As for the "first look" Dear God...What a project. Im so surprised how far along Delos 2 has progressed. Cant wait to see how Sierra is getting along. No specific questions yet . I gotta get a Delos 2 shirt :-) All the best....See you on the next tack !

SV Trippin'

Your excitement is infectious D2 is looking Great well done!!!

FreeWilly

Very cool!, this will be a lot of fun, I would love to know more about the specifications for the hull as you are building, the how's and why's of the engineering, the aluminum doesn't look that thick but of course after completing a full 3D hull it would have to be much more strong than fiberglass or other material. And with your skeg hung rudders and protected propellers I would think you could go anywhere you want, you could beach it and go through ice as well?

Michael Trautman

Thank you for showing the skeleton of 2.0… you can really tell a story well … both of you .so at ease sharing your life ….

Kent Wadenpfuhl

Wow, seems like this project is moving a little faster than anticipated! 🙏🏻🙂

William Flower

Yes, I have a question. I look at the current structure and I can't help but wonder about the stress of a wave (or a series of waves) hitting the cat amidships. How have you distributed the stress? I'm sure you have, but I'm insanely curious!

Scott C. Wise

Maybe I'm being honest or perhaps I just ribbing ya, . . . But I think you're being framed!

Mike TopCat

Great to see Brian digging in and being such a major part of the build! At first I didn't think he would dive in like he has. Good on Ya Mate! and it wouldn't be the same with out Kaza holding down the fort and setting up a new home for Sierra and getting her in school so huge. Can't wate to see her on her new bike too. when is Momar coming to visit?

Chris K

Wow! It's almost done lol! So much progress! Looking forward to timelapse's, those must be epic on a build like this. You have a 24/7 timelapse running on the build? Would love to see a timelapse that shows the progress over several weeks/months.

Alan Gore

I love the energy and Brian's excitement and passion. I want to see everything, the superstructure, the electrics, the plumbing, the decor, everything please

Maui Rob

Love this! I'm interested in seeing how you keep the boat true from stem to stern. Some of the deeper technical details would be interesting.

Amanda Dunstan

Amazing! I like to to see you research what engines, electric? diesel , brands and why?

Pete and Nicole

So cool, I can’t believe how fast the project is coming along!

Awesome! Thanks Amanda Brian have spent a lot of hours on this already so a great idea for a topic for sure. 😘 ~ Kazza

Sailing SV Delos
>>138625861

Oh this is such a great one Chris and I’m kind of sad that we didn’t manage to set it up sooner but we actually got the camera today. So should be up and making those long Timelapse’s super soon. ~kaz

Sailing SV Delos
>>138614242

Hey Mike! Yeah Brian loves work like this and it’s amazing to do it together with such fantastic people 💪 Sierra had a fantastic first day at daycare and I’m loving having the uninterrupted time to really emerge myself in all the video work/ and admin stuff around. We’re planning on flying to Sweden in a few months so will see her then 😚 cannot wait!

Sailing SV Delos
>>138610393

Hi William! Amazing question. We sailed on our friends catamaran and they told us about how crazy the waves can be hitting the “bridge deck” of the boat. Will note this down and we’ll talk about this for sure. Very interesting topic. 😘

Sailing SV Delos
>>138602139

Hey! Will for sure dig deeper into this in the videos 😊 and also talk more about why we chose aluminum. Maybe that can become a whole theme of a video actually. Yeah beaching it will be possible for sure and some ice but maybe not to thick 😋🙃 hehe!! Thanks for coming along on this journey with us ~Kaz

Sailing SV Delos
>>138594559

Amazing Finn! I know the project is flying along so great to be here. Hope to see you at the boat show 🥳 hugs ~Kaz

Sailing SV Delos
>>138593528

Yeah love the Timelapse’s too!! Will make sure we capture putting the hull plates on. It’s coming up pretty soon and we’re most likely starting to English Wheel some Plates next week. That process fascinates me so much! How you can really predict the curve and get it right. Will learn a lot and will be fun to film ☺️ She is doing great on her third day today and still super stoked to go there so that’s amazing 😻 cheers ~Kaz

Sailing SV Delos
>>138592028

Hey! Oh Bahamas how amazing 😻 yeah will for sure insulate her both for that and to keep the heat in when we go to colder climates. But we did have a friend I the Philippines when we were there. They had a thick insulation and found that there boat kept cooler a lot longer than Delos does that has no insulation. ~kaz

Sailing SV Delos
>>138590975

Thanks Catherine! Yeah super happy to be here. Such a nice change for us too. Learning lots and working with amazing people 😍 many hugs! ~Kaz

Sailing SV Delos
>>138590244

Hi Sandi! Amazing questions. Will note these down and make sure we film them as we go though the process. So much to learn, really fun! I myself is super excited to get into the English wheeling soon. Really fascinating process and I’m not 100% sure how it all works either so will have to learn from the best (Dan and the team here at Stradbroke Yachts) 💪🥳 Will start putting the hull plates on soon to so then I’ll make sure to see how the bow comes together :) Cheers ~ Kaz

Sailing SV Delos
>>138587581

Awesome question William. I’ll have to have Brian compare the two a little later in the project when it’s put together a bit more ☺️ cheers! ~kaz

Sailing SV Delos
>>138586533

So true! 😋 she is a very beast! Haha. I know so strange but I’m happy we have some because it’s pretty chilly in the mornings and evenings 😅 Cheers! ~Kaz

Sailing SV Delos
>>138581868

Hey hey! I don’t think we plan on painting her. Kind of like the Aluminum look 😊 oh that’s amazing! I bet we will take you up on that offer in a few months when we dive into all the systems. She has done so good. Really happy to go back, this is day 3 so I’m really proud of her. Big change for sure. Cheers ~Kaz

Sailing SV Delos
>>138580125

Hey Thomas! I know it’s so amazing to see it all come together. 🥳 really fun to be here and be able to be such big part of the project too. Thank you 😘 cheers ~Kaz

Sailing SV Delos
>>138578012

Oh I know what a crazy job that would be to do all of that cutting by hand!! 🤯 yeah been quite a change but just so exciting to be here! And this is day 3 for Sierra at daycare and so far she really likes it. So that’s amazing! I believe you can attach and send pictures if you send us a direct message here on Patreon. Oh really want to see this tool now ☺️ Cheers! ~Kaz

Sailing SV Delos
>>138574013

Hey David! Yeah it’s crazy, so much to learn. We’re about 8 weeks in and about the completion of the whole boat… that is a good question. Depends on so many things and also how much Brian and I can be in Australia. So not really sure yet we’re hoping 3 years? Maybe. 😜 hehe

Sailing SV Delos
>>138565389

Awesome Brendan! Yeah aluminum is so cool and maybe a dedicated video all about why we chose aluminum and what the pros and cons are could be cool :)

Sailing SV Delos
>>138563330

Hey Bonne! Yeah it looks massive in the shop 😅 yeah been a really great change for us. So excited to be here. Yeah today is day 3 of Sierra at daycare and she is loving it 🥰 so proud of her! Hugs! Kaz

Sailing SV Delos
>>138562295

Hey Zak! Awesome lots of that coming :) hehe! Brian got a reolink camera it’s like a security camera that can take video etc. just got it today so still have to see if it will work ok for us.

Sailing SV Delos
>>138561689

Yeah you don’t see it very often 🤣 hehe! Those are great questions Sadie! Will put them on my to film list for sure 💪☺️

Sailing SV Delos
>>138561626

Hey Andrew! Awesome I love that ☺️ will for sure introduce the builders. They are a great group and it’s been great working together. Always so much more fun when you work with fun, hard working people that have a lot of knowledge.

Sailing SV Delos
>>138561279

Awesome! I know Brian will get into a lot of detail with that for sure 😊 he is already planning it all out in his head at night 😂 haha!

Johannes Gross

If you get a chance maybe do a video on aluminium welding? I’ve recently picked up a welder and been really geeking out over welding videos 😄

Andrew Hlavacek

Awesome guys! Thanks for sharing. I know nothing but it seems to me that you’re already made significant progress! Congratulations. I definitely want to see more grinding, welding, and shaping. I’m also interested in how the interior of the bulkheads will be finished and, most importantly, in later stages how the boat will be insulated and interiors finished. So, basically, everything 😝. Thanks for the vicarious living. Perhaps one day, if you are looking for extra crew…

Gary Suffern

Looking forward to the build of Delos 2.0...Any plans to see Bill and Grace anytime soon?.. enjoy the moment Brian,Kazza, Sierra 👍🇺🇲 Gary

Eric Pohlmann

Hi guys! I find it very exciting to watch you go through the build process with all the difference it brings compared to cruising. Thanks. The simple question I have is why did you decide to build an aluminium boat? I‘d appreciate some insights on that. All the best

Rick Mann

This is so cool and exciting! Be sure to put in Ethernet (or/and conduit for future expansion)!

Gary Suffern

Looking forward to seeing the progress come together 👍

Juan David

Thanks for sharing, how confident are you getting with your welds?

Terry Haan

I'd be interested to hear about the schedule of the build.

Sailing SV Delos
>>138689396

Hey Andrew! Yeah so far it’s coming along really nicely:) amazing we will cover all of these things 💪 so much fun to be here and taking part in the build. 😌

Sailing SV Delos
>>138737460

Hey Eric! Great question been thinking to do a more in depth video about why we chose Aluminum so it will fit great into there. Cheers! Kaz

William Flower
>>138610393

The word I was going for is "broadside". My 70-year-old brain can't cough up words like it used to. 😆

Eric Pohlmann
>>138737460

Thanks Kaz, you guys will surely do an amazing job of taking us all through all the thought processes and decisions made as we go through bringing it to live. I am already excited. Enjoy the once in a lifetime time. Wish our the very best best.

Jef Mangelschots

I was hoping to see how the boat frame got started and hear more about the structural shape and why things are shaped the way they are.
