Qué cubre este vídeo

After 12 months of construction on a custom aluminum catamaran, the crew of SV Delos has transitioned from heavy metal fabrication to interior fit-out and systems installation.9:51 The build features 6mm hull plating at the waterline for increased structural integrity and a skeg-protected propulsion system and rudder to allow for beaching.15:14 To prioritize sailing performance and keep weight out of the ends, the design utilizes minikeels instead of daggerboards and a shorter bridge deck to maximize the trampoline area.15:57 The bow includes a sealed, reinforced crash compartment.17:13 Interior planning involves mapping the salon sofa and cabinetry using 3D modeling software, while electrical work includes routing DC and AC conduits to the battery and inverter compartment.6:05 The crew faces a May deadline to move the vessel out of French Polynesia to avoid import taxes, with a planned launch date between late 2025 and August 2026.20:49 Balancing the physical demands of the project requires managing stress and maintaining a consistent, incremental workflow.3:32
