CATAMARAN BUILD – Reinforcing Our Cockpit Bulkhead (MJ Sailing – Ep 196)

It’s time to work on the bulkhead which separates our salon and cockpit, and we’re going all out on extra fiberglass re-enforcements.

Although *both* sides will get beefed up a little bit, in this episode we focus on the inner facing side of the bulkhead, which will be the entrance to our two queen bunks in the hulls, and will be the aft portion of our salon on the bridge deck.

But, to get away from the work and the heat a little bit, we go for a dreamy sail out of Annapolis on the beautiful Woodwind II. Before we tell you where you may know this boat from, see if you can pick out where you’ve seen it before!

We hope you enjoy!

Much love from Annapolis!

CATAMARAN BUILD – Bonding Bulkheads – Preparation is Key!! (MJ Sailing – Ep 195)

We’re surrounded by big bulkheads, and now it’s time to get the first one glassed in to the bridge deck.

We do a little jumping around in this episode, giving features to three of our biggest bulkheads. Matt does a quick explanation of #6, which will lead into our cockpit, before we give the grand tour of how things are laid out in our galley and salon – now that we have it all marked on the floor. 🙂

And after some trimming of bulkhead 4 to get it to fit into place *just right* we spend an afternoon adding the coves and fiberglass to permanently bond it to the deck.

Oh, and Georgie even makes a cute cameo at the end!

Tune in to see how things are shaping up!

We hope you enjoy!

Much love from Annapolis!

CATAMARAN BUILD – Welcome To My Shower (MJ Sailing – Ep 194)

The BIG bulkheads are going in!! And now we have walls and doors that make up the shower in our owner’s hull.

This next episode I love for two reasons. One, is I finally got around to adding a BUNCH of images and renders for you to see how the boat should look as we progress. The second is..

The BIG bulkheads are going in!! And now we have walls and doors that make up the shower in our owner’s hull. A very big feat for us because not only do we begin to see how the different areas in the catamaran are beginning to lay out, but we also managed to do this with our own four hands. A task we’d been somewhat dreading for weeks (just the thought of getting monstrous boards of foam into place), but it all worked out with a little team work.

Tune in to see how things are shaping up!

We hope you enjoy!

Much love from Annapolis!
