What this video covers

The construction of a custom aluminum catamaran has reached a major milestone with the hull flipped upright, allowing for a full interior walkthrough.0:26 The vessel features a diesel-electric hybrid propulsion system, with engines positioned aft of the guest cabins to minimize noise.1:32 Fuel capacity totals 860 liters, split between 430-liter tanks on each side.1:42 Water tanks are integrated into the lower hull to keep weight low, and the interior requires food-grade, two-part paint to prevent chemical reactions between the raw aluminum and potable water.6:05

The layout includes watertight bulkheads separating the engine rooms, living quarters, and forward storage lockers.4:24 A dedicated shop and provision area is planned for the forward section, alongside a sail and toy locker accessible via a 70-centimeter deck hatch.10:12 The forward cockpit houses the windlass, battery banks, and electronics to centralize weight under the mast.7:42 The project team expects to complete the top hull plates and cabin top within eight to 10 weeks, followed by the interior fit-out.12:47
