CATAMARAN BUILD - 48 Hours In & We're THIS Far! (MJ Sailing - Ep 179)
We're only 48 hours into having the first set of components for our catamaran, and she's already starting to come together and look like a boat!
Follow along as we work tirelessly to get all the components unloaded from the container - and fail miserably at our time allowance. But honestly, that part soon matters less and less to us because we have a great group of people working their butts off to make sure every piece is taken off carefully and doesn't receive any damage.
36 hours later, we gather a few of them back to put the main pieces of the hull together while we still have access to the telehandler. And once we snap those few pieces together - Voilà she's already looking like a boat!!
We hope you enjoy!
Much love from Annapolis!
Jessica, Matt & Georgie

A cat in a trailer. How’d they get it in?
I suppose this counts as THE MOTHER OF ALL UNBOXING VIDEOS.

You are going to love that this was all on film when you get old, and want to look back on this experience. Enjoy it while youth is still yours!
Remember this moment, and the emotions and joy, and be sure to bring them back during the build when you are feeling a bit down :) We are many who will follow your build journey and cheer you on!

You'll be amazed how long the "starts looking like a boat, ain't it?" phase will last before the "lookalike" will be past for the last time, with a "looks like a boat _on the outside at least_ " phase in between.They're brave to take on that task, prefab or not. I'm looking forward for sure.
I don't often comment. But when you said " Same thing we do every day. Try and take over the world ". I could not resist. I have not laughed that hard in a long time. Pinky and the Brain RULE!!!! I wish you the best of luck in your building of this boat.
Big Days like that will be the best of memories. Great to have so much help and congrats on a sensational day for you both. Feeling your stress there Matt , heart pounding stuff. Cheers Ross.
Pretty amazing! One really appreciates a skilled operator when trying to do finesse work with large awkward pieces. I’m so pleased for you.
The excitement is palpable. You may need to watch this when doing fiberglass or cutting another hole and discouragement sets in 10 months from now. Excited for you guys!
Getting stuff out of the container and into the tent was a combination of exciting and stressful. Having great friends (and the right equipment) made all the difference. Having the tent for the build is immeasurably helpful. So satisfying to see so much of the build appearing to happen so fast. That'll give an adrenaline boost that will be necessary to carry through the small details for the next period of the build. Now you can just sleep in the two outboard hull sections! So fun though!!!
You really picked the right place to do this build. Amazing contributions from the yard folks.

@@MJSailing Hello, what a job. Where are you building your cat at?
Your channel exploding so quickly and all the help you were given was not all due to Jessica's eyes, it is because you are truly nice people. Great Channel. You are doing the right things!

WOW!! Thats all I can say is WOW!
Looking so awesome! Great to see all the supporting friends you gathered to unload. Thanks for sharing your build adventure with us. Onward!
Fascinating to watch - I look forward to the ongoing build with interest.
So glad to see you guys back. I think you are my heroes. You guys are doing what I always wanted to do but didn't have the guts to do. Stay brave and remember that there is a lot of people around the world who admire what you are doing and are jealous.
That's a hell of a jigsaw puzzle you have there. I didn't think you would make 2 hours. Still you guys did a lot of work in a short time. Nice job!
Congratulations, you both were very blessed having the extra helping hands, the yard manager Alex priceless.
I am absolutely loving this! The slow tedious work lies ahead, but the final results will deliver your dream. Your excitement level has to be off the charts! Really happy for you both!
Congratulations J & M! We are sharing the emotion with every step! Let's the party started!!
You two are my heros! Thanks for all the content. I'm enjoying this journey.
I remember when you were walking on the pontoon bridge at the pier, and for the first time you talked about your plan to build a ship. It seems to be very far away. Finally, today you have achieved a historic breakthrough!
I am so excited for you guys! You have a huge job in store but when you are done the pride of accomplishment will be off the charts!
How amazing to see the hull coming together. I'm impressed with your confidence to take this big of a project on. This process is going to be amazing to watch.
What amazing friends you have guys. So nice to see everyone pulling together. This build is going to be so good to follow.
When I first saw the opening of the container I was worried. It looked like all the parts had been carelessly put in there, and hope for the best for the journey. But clearly I misjudged the factory. They had been skilfully and safely mounted, and well protected for the journey. Well, that's a start. Come on. Chop chop. I want to see the finish. Are we nearly there yet???? Good luck on your project.
What a amazing job. Looking forward for the next step
A real interesting build. a tip? After the Epoxy has been mixed, put it in a ziplock bag, close it, clip the corner of the bag and use it with squeegee to seal a seam.

Amazing achievement guys, I can only imagine how high your stress levels reached, great to see everyone pitch in to help get the boat project underway, stay safe 👍🏻🇬🇧
So cool watching it all come together...!
Before I became part of our own solar electric catamaran in Bangladesh, I watched and shared, to my friends, saying, 'look man, only a couple' and I come back here oftentimes. We built the vessel, it is doing fine, and why not everyone is not making such a thing is the question that baffles me, all the time.
WOW! Going to be a great build. A big shout out to your friends for helping. Congratulations.
Gotta be crazy exciting! congrats!!
Finally it begins. looking foward to this.
Excellent choice, it does look awesome. Congratulations. Looking forward to all the upcoming episodes. Love your Chanel.
Amazing, I am so impressed with the progress and the fit/finish.

So happy for you two!
I’m so happy for you two. I’m really excited to follow you as you assemble this beast together. Makes me wish I was 30 years younger.
Way cool, you guys have it going on!
That's awesome! What a wonderful blessing that is!

Awesome, looking great 👍. Congratulations, now the real work begins.
I'm excited to see the build beginning!
Oh and i meant to mention how much i love the song you guys use un your videos its contagious and i find myself humming it everytime after your videos
Fantastic! This is going to be an amazing project to follow.
Will enjoy watching this build.
So exciting!
I am so so looking forward to watching your journey.
Well done guys - so excited to watch the build!
Awesome! 💪😁👌
Looking great 👍 so fast 💨 bet you guys are glad it’s arrived and the real work can begin 👍👍 no short cuts and take your time and do it right , all the best with the build I’ll be looking forward to watching you every step of the way
This is going to be exciting! Looking forward to this build.
Skilled problem-solvers in logistics are the bedrock of any endeavor. Impressive.
So cool, im going to enjoy this
This is amazing!
My father was a developer and he always said, every build takes longer and is more expensive than you think it is going to be. So 6 or 7 hours over isn't that big of a surprise to me. Congrats!!!! That's looking great! I know you got a long ways to go, but it is looking great!
Awesome work folks- it looks amazing!
Awesome work guys, however not without an unhealthy amount of risk during the demobilizing from the container. If you ever have to repeat such a situation, arrange for a 40 foot open top container where everything can be safely removed in a quick fashion with a crane. I know they are a bit more expensive in regards to shipping costs but certainly a benefit in reducing risks of fatalities and or damage to hull sections. Another benefit if possible is to arrange a single jib section lifting for the telehandler. So much more control during lifts.
What a great video!!!!!! THANK YOU!
I have taken on some big projects and at first I thought you were crazy. Now though I actually think it looks like a fun and exciting project. You will literally know every single square inch of your boat. If you were closer I would offer to come and work for a few days.
Awesome.
Good luck guys!!!
This video is great. So cool seeing all that arriving and how quickly you jumped on the project.
Looking fantastic
Congratulations and good luck with the build, really looking forward to watching the weekly progress.
This is awesome.
Congrats guys! This looks like it's going to be a great project!
That's going to be one wicked fast boat!
Really great to see you back in to another build looking forward to the coming weeks and months congrats
Awesome kit.
