Three years into the construction of a custom 52-foot sailboat, the project has transitioned from hull and structural work to interior and systems installation. The vessel features a sandwich hull with a cedar wood core and fiberglass-epoxy laminate, designed by Ulf Rageberg for offshore performance.1:10 Major milestones completed include flipping the hull, installing watertight bulkheads, and finishing the deck and cockpit.4:46 The builders report that vacuum bagging and repetitive lamination were the most mentally taxing phases, while the primary structural error involved a bulkhead that required removal to allow for proper shroud reinforcement tabbing.8:07

The project timeline has shifted from an initial five-year estimate to approximately six years, with a projected completion date in 2028 and a launch in 2029.16:40 Financial expenditures for materials have reached $70,000 to $80,000, with epoxy accounting for $20,000 of that total.19:28 Inflation has increased the estimated total project cost from $350,000 to as much as $450,000.21:24 Documenting the build for social media adds roughly 20% to the total labor time.11:11
