1. You guys keep making progress incorporating ideas found along the way progress continues.

2. I would do electric throttle controls and Dyneema Line for steering. Parley revival switched to that for steering and its working perfect. The reason for the electric throttle controls is electric wire doesn't care about bends only loops so magnetic field is not created.

3. Really you'll never finish that boat, A kit boat is a Kit boat and thats not a Kit Boat anymore, all you are doing now is reducing the sail area with the raised Helm.

4. Great ideas for the raised helm.
   Best wishes from the North.

5. You can always cantilever the steps and add an extra inch with an angled bullnose that "beefs" ups the leading edge of the step

6. Throttle by wire or hydraulic would allow for more complex routing. Wires with servos can go anywhere. Hydraulics like car breaks can allow for more shapes but remain "mechanical". Really the reason not to use those are high complexity but if you are running cables across several hard bends you have already crossed into high complexity.

7. If you were seeking a wider stair going you could try an alternating tread design. However fabrication would be more complicated

8. LaVagabonde is sailing their newly built Tri-Maran.

9. Amazing how perspective works. That cabinet did not look like it was anywhere near 1 foot wide from the perspective of the camera.

10. You've made 4 steps there, but if you didn't do that top step (just the deck would be the step) you would gain maybe 2 inches, and could then make each step deeper, maybe.

11. Looking really good. Any guesstimate on a splash date for your boat?

12. Love the progress! Keep warm and keep moving forward.

13. I love watching your I don't like your husband mansplaining everything

14. 16:06 Could you not shape the step into a teardrop shape and oscillatee between left and right to increase the step depth while maintaining moveability? I saw on a few boats that done for exiting the lower area.

15. she is so beautiful

16. Bla bla bla

17. think the top of the cabinet would be a good place to sit. Put a grab bar on the ceiling around the opening. Thinking a U shaped tube around the open- The bar might also be a nice surface to rub against as you go up and down.

18. Plywood from Home Depot? Do you know the difference betwix Home Depot plywood
    and marine plywood? Marine plywood has the plies adhered together using
    waterproof adhesive. Home Depots plywood the adhesive is water soluble.

19. Raised helm is great ! Sail on 😊

20. 10 inch rise is legal for home,

21. My only suggestion is to have a curved panel that curves from the top step down to the front on the seat aft of the steps, will make lounging there more comfortable but if you cut hand holds in the top edge of it also makes a grab hold when at sea (can never have enough hold at sea)

22. See if theres ever an award for best sailing channel exit music..you guys a winning that hands down 😘👊🏻😂

23. Is it too much to ask for two updates in a week??? I hate waiting for the next installments! 😁

24. Happy Anniversary guys … This boat of yours is truly going to be a "One of a kind" built by a One of a kind couple! Stay Safe & Fair Winds!! ☘

25. Omg that looks terrifying. It’s looks nice though.!

26. Great video

27. Smart, this seems way better!

28. Wow, I absolutely love how you guys are taking inspiration from other catamarans and marrying it with your own unique vision to design your raised helm station. It's such a cool project to watch unfold! And happy anniversary to you both, what a journey you're on. Wishing you fair winds and smooth sailing as you continue with the build! ☘️

29. Really like the idea of pushing the helm forward. This build is really interesting on how you guys can customize it just enough for your needs and have great support from the manufacturer along the way! Good for you!

30. Good progress

31. A home depot date. Wife and I have done many of those. Merry Christmas!

32. Matt, I get the part about Tyvex. I use the oscillating tool a lot when I'm cutting drywall. May I suggest you try using the semi-circular cutting blades? They cut more and because of the blade size, they cut straighter also.

33. Merry Christmas Matt and Jessica !!! she's coming along nicely! Great job on steps to the cockpit, very good idea!!!! It might be a kit, but great job making it your own!!!! Take care!

34. Two people one huge boat. Just like "Ship Happens". Stunning.

35. Hope you set back the bottoms of the verticals to give you a deeper step.

36. I was sure that, halfway through the cut, you would have said to Matt, "No, wait! I changed my mind."

37. When you chopping up fiberglass there's always a way to go back.
