Early & Ad Free: FLIPPING Our Boat with a 60 Ton Crane π± Aluminum Catamaran Build Pt. 10
🕑 Added 2024-10-18 13:00:20 +0000 UTCIt's finally heeeere! This is one of the episodes we've been most excited to share with you in a long time π₯³ And while I must admit that while I think some of the drone shots are suuuper cool (thanks to all who also shared their shots, there were 3 different drones there including ours π) the camera simply does not do it justice to how crazy this whole thing actually was. Those of you who were able to attend can back me up in the comments at what a wild sight this was to see, and it also represented a huge milestone in all the progress we've been making. I really can't understate how satisfying this whole process has been, and the feeling of pride we get when we look at Delos 2.0 feels pretty dang special. And by the way as we mentioned in our last little post earlier today, we're back in Australia, and holyyyyy moly can't wait to film a little walkthrough and show you all the progress the guys made while we are gone π€― Unbelievable is not a strong enough word to describe it! Anywho, hope you enjoy this week's video, and hope everyone has a fantastic weekend!
Sending lots of love and gratitude from down under!

Awesomeness LOVE IT..Hey one thing I hope your considering with your floor, what are you installing it with? Glue and screw bolt or whatever But that actually adds structure and strength to the flooring itself. I think you made the best choice anyway. Love the boat design just wish it had more room below. For 2 yes but a growing family?

It's Friday, and it's taken me some time to hit Play. But it's SV Delos Day and I want to see the Crane in play. Gee, I know everything went well but I was hanging on the edge of my seat during the whole process. 8 - \ At one moment I was thinking of one of those old time movies where the automobile completely falls apart while slowly driving along. LOL That couldn't happen to Delos 2.0, right? ! ? ! ? Hahaha I'm glad all went well but I sure wish this episode came out BEFORE the Annapolis Sailboat Show. I would have had so much more to talk about! LOL ( As if I didn't already have enough to talk about! : - D )
David Levine
Well that was exciting! And Papa Delos in the house!! Cheers to a successful flip and the next phase of the build!
Jeff Mack
That was WAY cool. I really appreciate all the camera angles you had set up.

Yup that building from the bottom up saved a lot of over head welding and crap dropping in your face. Less slag burns. So cool. Thanks for sharing

Our fab shop hired a crane to lift eight 27 ton, 4' x 14' x 130' long, riveted aluminum bulkheads onto a hopper barge for transport upriver to a lock & dam project. One of the crane's outriggers began sinking into the soil and he dropped the bulkhead. It sustained a little damage that we were able to fix. The marine surveyor inspecting the hopper barge was Kyle Smith, one of the grinders on Stars & Stripes with Dennis Conner when they won the America's Cup back from the Aussies. I recognized him from watching the AC live until 3:30am for a few weeks.

I found myself sitting on the edge of my office chair while the lift was going on. Fantastic videos.....almost like being there. Wish I could have been there, but i did get to see you guys again in Annapolis. Great Patron meet-up. Say Hi to Papa Delos for me also. Love from Annapolis. See you on the next tack !
Andrew Graham
Have to say, these Friday updates are one of the morning's highlights! Looks great! Can't wait to see the rightside up progress!

Incredible! What a RUSH to see that big boy swinging between yachts ........ and dominating the parking lot. A lot of people never get the chance to see their dreams come true ......... but you always find a way to make dreams a reality, and you share it with all of the tribe. Good on you mate! It was good to see the proud Papa D there ....... beaming at your accomplishment. He ... and you are lucky to have each other. Never let go of that rope. Great to see you all in Annapolis at the Patron's Party again ...... and rub elbows. I actually got to talk to Marta this time. Sierra smiled at me ..... before they both left ... and she warmed my heart. PAX .... much love and respect ..... always keep 'em flyin
Brandon DeYoung
Brian, you totally should have made some pancakes at 3:15am with lots of flipping.
Mike TopCat
