Patron's Only Update: BACK TO WORK!
Added 2024-11-14 02:31:44 +0000 UTCHey hey Delos Tribe!
We wanted to give you a little update on how things have been going back in the shop and show you all the amazing progress (my favorite is the engine room doors they look soooo freaking sexy!). I know we keep saying this pretty much every time we make a post, but we are just so freaking stoked and blown away at how this whole process is coming along...every day when we walk into the shop and see our dream boat one step closer to being out in the water, it's such an indescribable feeling! We hope you enjoy this lil update, and we'll see ya on Friday with a bit of a mega-sode as we wrap up our time in Sweden, hit the boat show, and then arrive back to Australia and lay eyes on our beautiful boat for the first time after months away!
Lots of love from the whole fam!

Iโm surprised the fuel tanks are only pressure tested to only 3 psi.๐

2024-11-19 05:51:37 +0000 UTCYou probably have them on the plan, but you will want some type of partial cover over those scuppers. When you get hull slap, particularly on a close reach in heavier seas, you will get waves that hit and will send water erupting up the scupper. Blocking the front and sides of the drain from below will help divert most of the water around, while allowing the drain to flow free for water that comes over the deck. Like a clamshell cover open to the rear. If that doesn't make sense, walk straight across the lot to ALWAYS and take a peak. My scuppers are much smaller, but you'll get the picture.

2024-11-15 16:53:25 +0000 UTCOk, now suddenly I am curious about visas and how is Delos doing? I thought she had to leave the country she is in before 2 years are up otherwise you will get hit with taxes.

2024-11-15 15:40:25 +0000 UTCI think I know how this is gonna be done, but how do you test for leaks before it goes into the water?

2024-11-14 18:54:41 +0000 UTCStunning progress and so amazing to see the beautiful work Daren and his team put into Delos 2.0! Iโm curious how you project manage the timeline and work flows now? Iโve been peaking around to see the good old posted notes with to-do and done ๐

2024-11-14 18:15:33 +0000 UTCconsider building some kind of trap under those scupper drains to catch rings or other valuables.

2024-11-14 17:08:05 +0000 UTCHow are you feeling being shorebound? It's been a while since you've sailed. Are you getting a little stir crazy or is the build so encompassing that you don't have time to miss it?

2024-11-14 11:30:21 +0000 UTCHey Brian, great progress! I wonder if and how youโre gonna insulate your boat. I won an aluminum boat myself and it is insulated with foam plates from the waterline upwards and also the ceilings. But I also saw people using spray foamโฆ

2024-11-14 10:49:07 +0000 UTCYou must have one hell of a to-do list. What is the sequence of installation for the systems? Same as a home ? (engines, plumbing, hvac, electrical, walls and cabinetry)

2024-11-14 03:22:49 +0000 UTCGreat progress! I suspect the clever small tubes that are draining your hatches will become plugged with algae and biofilm at times. Do you think you will need a method to blow them out as part of your boat maintenance plan?

2024-11-14 03:05:36 +0000 UTCIt may not be Friday but it's still a day and I hit PLAY! It's great to see the progress made with Delos 2.0! Hey, at 2:30, what have you got against seals? I want to know because I am the walrus goo goo ga goob. Hehehe Step by step, slowly we turn, . . . I'm looking forward to Friday. : - ) PS - The beard is still there ? ? ?
