Early & Ad Free: We Left Our Boat for 3 Months... and THIS is What Happened 🤯 Building Our Own Boat Part 14

Hey friends! We've got a super fun video for you this week! Our time in Sweden is wrapping up, and it's that magical time of year where we travel to the Annapolis Boat Show (where we got to meet soooo many of you, which was just incredible!). And then after nearly 3 months away, it's time to lay eyes on Delos 2.0 for the first time, and the transformation is just unbelievable! Our trip away was amazing, but the feeling we had when we got back was so overwhelming that we are exactly where we should be, doing exactly what we should be doing....it was super validating and had us feeling more stoked than ever to keep chugging away on this project. We hope you enjoy this week's episode, made with lots of love and gratitude to each and every one of you 🥰

Big hugs from Oz!

Brian, Kazza, & Sierra

There was a day sail inAnnapolis and I didn’t know about it 🥺

Wow!! So much progress!! Delos 2.0 has actually taken shape and she actually looks like a boat!!! Imagine that!! So happy for you all!!

Stephanie Rollins

“Hey Brian, I think you’re going to need a bigger boat” said no one ever 😂 What a beautiful vessel and it’s not even finished. Looking forward to the future detail buildout vids. Also, we have so many good memories from the Annapolis show and making it into a Delos video is something we never would have fathomed. Thanks for making life that much more fun!

Robert Palumbo

Ya'll are doing a fabulous job! I'm so happy to see Mormor going back to Australia with you 💗 can't wait to see what's next!

Heather Mac

Yeah I saw that too. Still scary! Delos is also a first of its kind and I’m sure Brian has thought of EVERYTHING but definitely something to be aware of to avoid the corrosion of your home and business!

I was thinking the same thing, HH just came out with a short video saying they are top of it and will make things right.

Ken Hill

This is really awesome progress and so encouraging! After watching the Wynn’s with their stray current and associated corrosion, I really hope you won’t have that issue!! Apparently, it was coolant water pumps that were not grounded on correctly… but such a scary issue! I have no doubt you’re on top of this issue 100%! Can’t wait to see how your one-of-a kind and so well thought out boat comes together!

Catherine IG

Also yes, I have given considerable thought to a permanent underwater camera. Stay tuned!

Het Kevin it’s an interesting amount of dependencies. We can run the majority of things until the hull insulation layers are installed, and we cant do that until the welding is complete. But I was able to run some bare conduits before the deck was placed which will make my life easier in the coming weeks.

Sailing SV Delos

Yep, either water or air work on Delos.

Sailing SV Delos

Ahoy Mike, we’re enjoying the novelty at the moment…. But also if we didnt have the build to focus on I suspect we’re be going nuts already. So we’ll finish the boat and go explore ⛵️🌎

Pretty cool right?

Just two tinnies with a bit of shit in the middle 🤣

Sierra saying "Hanging out with Mommor" was the sweetest thing .... from that Swedish girl. She is starting to be so grown up ...... and then seeing her "Woo Hoo" bike vid at the end ...... she looks so young again. You two have captured the family's true meaning for all time on digital media. I hope you don't fall for the car/single family home syndrome ..... it can get to you after being away for so long. The Sea is calling you back. Love that high handrail on the roof. It will come in handy. Keep 'em flyin

Bonne Mike

Dan... *shrugs* "it's just a boat" 😂

Patricia

I wonder if you could blast some high pressured air and just jet anything out of those hoses.

Emily

Delos II is really feeling like an Art Deco boat at the moment.

Emily

We have a similar arrangement on Delos for the seats to drain in the cockpit. I just blow them out with the hose every few months and it’s right as rain! But it’s not algea, it’s a combination of sand and hair usually….

Sailing SV Delos

I was thinking the same thing.. Holes always plug up with stuff..

Michael W Glaske

Ok, question…could the drains at the hatches clog up from algea? If so, you would have to find a solution for the very small conducts to be cleaned? Or, Algea does not catch on the Aluminium? 2.0 looks like a beautiful Manta 🥹still very curious on how she will sound🧐 Great story telling again today👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Jeanne H. Mathieu

I love watching your videos!!

Nancy D

Hi! The pains you feel regarding land life are stark validations for continuing your life at sea and abroad and precisely why I have an intense love for your content, and immense respect for you all to share it with us. Thanks! Would it have been beneficial to install plumbing, power and drive components after the flip but b4 everything was plated over? Have you given consideration for semi-permanent camera mounts underwater? Can you imagine the random wildlife encounters and fish landing footage that shoots its self??? Get with it!

Kevin Houghton

She was so excited about that tooth! lol

Rick Doner

Looks Great guys it's coming together very nicely. It's been a while since I was on, I have to say you guys were right the philippines 🇵🇭 was super fun, and my and my gf finally got engaged 💍 I going back in January to see here and her family again. On the other side I love how your plans for your catamaran are coming It's looking like a masterpiece ✨️.

Just wanted to say that you never fail to impress. The method that you are taking to build your dream boat/home is awesome. You aren't going to have to worry about warranty work, because you will be the one's that installed/designed/built it in the first place. I can't wait for the systems and design vids.

William Houck

The IKEA bed!! My girls shared that bed for many years. What a trip down memory lane! It is so fun watching Delos come together, but the family journey is turning out to be just as much of a joy to witness.

Andrew Graham

It's the day after Thursday and we know what that means. It's the day before Saturday! It also happens to be SV Delos Friday and I've already hit PLAY! Man, there's so much in this episode. 8 - O Around the world in 80 days? Not quite but not far from it either. Sweden/Gotland looked nice and the re-fabed small house with a new red "coating" on it looked fine. Then off the the Annapolis Sailboat Show, where I and many others got to meet the Trautman family as well as many other SV Delos fans, friends and patron folks. We even had a Patron Party - which I only saw a few seconds of, at 5:33 - featuring musician Ryan Cook - but in those few seconds I can see the back of my head! LOL I also spotted a snap of Brian, Kazza and myself at 6:40 . That was intermingled with at least 100 other folks getting their photo's snapped with B and K. Then it's back to Australia and the Brisbane area. So much to do there as well! Buy a car, find a house to stay in, get Sierra back in school and VERY IMPORTANT get back to work on SV Delos 2.0. And so much was done while you guys were away! Holly Molly! I wonder what will be happening next week? And at the end, at 30:44 , a wonderful "That's what she said" joke! LOL

Scott C. Wise

Woot woot! This video is pretty awesome! Great to see the updates. You might not believe it but I think I'm just as excited as you! How can that be? :D Also, who is the absolute cutest Moomintroll ever? Sierra!
