Ep. 13 The bow section and the English Wheel Bender - Bending flat sheet to fit compound curves

Become a patron, / elcanoworldchallenge
If you want more information on the Odisea 48, 55 or 62 then send an email to peter@elcanoworldchallenge.org
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.
Currently we are working with the English Wheel Bender bending amazing compound curves to fit a sleek performance catamaran, the Odisea 48. The progress is fast.

    Welding is welding but to go make your own mega English wheel and then train the guys to use it correctly on a 6m sheet with lots of complex curves. That’s skill and next level problem solving. Wow👍

    It's a Vietnamese government owned operation. I looked it up. Remember that Vietnam is a communist country and the government owns the means of production. According to Google the shipbuilding industry there is a nationalized thing, and that's how communism works, so it makes sense.

    Peter.... find a place to stow some of this plate in the ship to use for repair in the event there is some structural damage. Also ask for a store of the welding wire they use. Having the right grade metal and wire could make a repair a lot easier.

    Paul and Sheryl Shard of Distant Shores YT sailing channel posted a video over 2 years ago of the factory where their Enksail Orion 49 monohull would be built. The episode is titled, "How aluminum sailboats are made." They showed in their video and others to follow how aluminum is shaped by the KM Yacht Builders. The Dutch used the bending wheel then that the Vietnamese are using now. While there are many similarities, there are many differences, too, for those who enjoy yacht building.
