I’m surprised the fuel tanks are only pressure tested to only 3 psi.😁

You probably have them on the plan, but you will want some type of partial cover over those scuppers. When you get hull slap, particularly on a close reach in heavier seas, you will get waves that hit and will send water erupting up the scupper. Blocking the front and sides of the drain from below will help divert most of the water around, while allowing the drain to flow free for water that comes over the deck. Like a clamshell cover open to the rear. If that doesn't make sense, walk straight across the lot to ALWAYS and take a peak. My scuppers are much smaller, but you'll get the picture.

Ok, now suddenly I am curious about visas and how is Delos doing? I thought she had to leave the country she is in before 2 years are up otherwise you will get hit with taxes.

I think I know how this is gonna be done, but how do you test for leaks before it goes into the water?

Looking more like the Enterprise all the while!

Huge progress since we came up to meet you all at the flip weekend. Happy to help with the electrical stuff if you need! Work quality is awesome 👍

Stunning progress and so amazing to see the beautiful work Daren and his team put into Delos 2.0! I’m curious how you project manage the timeline and work flows now? I’ve been peaking around to see the good old posted notes with to-do and done 😉

consider building some kind of trap under those scupper drains to catch rings or other valuables.

Stradbroke is the 💣

How are you feeling being shorebound? It's been a while since you've sailed. Are you getting a little stir crazy or is the build so encompassing that you don't have time to miss it?

Looking fantastic, She will be an amazing boat!! Well done!

Holy moly 🤪🤪🤪hard to believe the giant will actually float ⛵️⛵️⛵️you are flying through this project like a jet propulsion 🚀🚀🚀

Hey Brian, great progress! I wonder if and how you‘re gonna insulate your boat. I won an aluminum boat myself and it is insulated with foam plates from the waterline upwards and also the ceilings. But I also saw people using spray foam…

Terry Haan

You must have one hell of a to-do list. What is the sequence of installation for the systems? Same as a home ? (engines, plumbing, hvac, electrical, walls and cabinetry)

Patrick Murray

Great progress!! Quality workmanship!! 👍

Great progress! I suspect the clever small tubes that are draining your hatches will become plugged with algae and biofilm at times. Do you think you will need a method to blow them out as part of your boat maintenance plan?

It may not be Friday but it's still a day and I hit PLAY! It's great to see the progress made with Delos 2.0! Hey, at 2:30, what have you got against seals? I want to know because I am the walrus goo goo ga goob. Hehehe Step by step, slowly we turn, . . . I'm looking forward to Friday. : - ) PS - The beard is still there ? ? ?
