What this video covers
Construction progress on the custom catamaran over the past 12 months centres on structural bonding and interior fit-out. The cabin top is now a single bonded unit, though final attachment to the cabin sides awaits the installation of compression posts.2:20 On deck, the crew cut and fared new hatches, including a forward hatch near the V-berth with an integrated gutter drainage system.1:47 Interior work focused on the port and starboard hulls, where the team installed daggerboard cases, cockpit seat backs, and guest head components.4:15 The salon layout now features wrap-around seating in place of a dedicated nav station, with designated spaces for an inverter and battery bank.13:17 The galley includes a built-in dish rack and dual induction cooktops, though initial attempts to build sliding drawers from foam-core fibreglass failed, necessitating a switch to wood construction.14:04 The project remains in the priming and fairing stage, with electronics and plumbing installations scheduled for the upcoming autumn.15:54 The owners estimate 12 to 16 months of work remains before the vessel is ready for launch.15:24
