1. It’s your boat. Do whatever you want.

2. Hi, I enjoy the sailing videos but for me the build and maintenance videos are, please excuse the pun, what floats my boat. Keep at it guys.

3. I'm the same with my race cars. I love racing but I love building the cars just as much. People always say I spend too much time on them but I enjoy all the fiddly details and the attention the finished article gets. The sense of pride in creating something yourself cannot be underestimated. Having said that when I built my own boat I gave up as it was too big a project and I didn't have the same feeling about it.

4. My late wife and I designed and built our own house, here in spain, from scratch, every block, brick, pipe and cable with our own hands and we lived in a tent for a long time while we did it, so I understand exactly what you feel, especially when you look back and see the finished result and you know you did it with your own hands, Nothing come close to that feeling of satisfaction.

   Unless they have done this themselves, they cannot understand the satisfaction that you feel. I had the same comments, "you need to get help", "you need to pay somebody to get it done quicker", "hurry up and finish it", "your mental, youll never finish it".

   BUT! the most annoying is when family and friends come to visit later, especially the ones who always said "your mental", "you cannot do that" etc and now they say "arn't you LUCKY to live here, wish I was as LUCKY as you" GRRRRR!!

   So just ignore them and do YOU.

   🤣🤣🤣

5. Honestly you guys are inspirational..99 of people wouldn't finish it..The amount of work you guys have done is incredible.. Enjoy the finally stages of the boat.. Public don't have patience..this is in everything these days.

6. Good for you guys! There is nothing more satisfying than taking on a huge project and completing it to YOUR standards. I built my house by myself and it came out beautiful. For the entire 4 years it took me to build, everyone I know kept asking "when will you be done?" "Are you done yet?" It was so annoying! Keep at it and ignore the negative talk. Its worth taking the time you need to get it right if you have the time and budget to do so. FYI–make sure you take the time to get critical areas perfect…you know–the wall in front of the toilet or the ceiling above your bed or the spot in front of the kitchen sink. LOL

7. On my boat I used UPVC quadrant and coves along with caulk to the transitions. Worked very well and a lot less work plus very easy to change if there is any wear or damage unlike a painted transition.

8. 3M 540 (Gray) Marine Grade 20-oz Polyurethane Sealant Adhesive 600mL Sausage Pack (CASE of 12 Each) then you adhere the pieces together rather than caulking the seam. Then we don't have to endure quasi satire mixed with Greek tragedy. I see you finally got the 3M gun i recommended like 300 episodes ago…Congrats… There is clearly a learning curve from remodeling a few small projects to scaling up on an entire fiberglass build and to have Matt talk like an expert while fumbling like a neophyte might be the pushback you are experiencing from your viewers. To portray the pushback as simply lacking a better explanation of your modus operandi is hubris stacked on top of hubris.

9. Ditto to ddevil ✌️❤️🙏🍷🍷🍷🙃😎

10. How can we find the music you play in the background you have great taste 😊

11. I enjoy your videos, The take away for me is that even though I will never build a boat is that as a boat owner , I do repairs for chips or scratches and with watching Matt it really helps me to slow down a bit and do it better and the end results are way better. Thank you for sharing your Home/Boat build with us. ❤ Much love is being demonstrated in your build.

12. builders or sailors, it doesn't matter to me. I expect you in Croatia in 2.3 years. I'll pay for dinner 😉

13. About the line on the wall down in the hull. The line that is difficult.

    I would have talked to a car body shop to hear what they have to say about how to make the line the way you want.

    Personally I would have made a spatula with the exact angle that you try to achieve. When sanding with a block you put a tape on the lower side when sanding the upper and vice versa

14. I'm curious if what people are complaining about is less you being a perfectionist and more about where you have been focusing content lately. You spent a lot of time on a single crack today. that no one cares about. Take a look at Life on the Hulls cat build. That guy is such a perfectionist he destroys done bits to make them be designed better! Its engaging though because we rapidly see the evolution of the project in a single video. Ran Sailing, also very committed to a high quality build, but there we are talked through the decision making behind the work, kind of like Matt did today. With MJ Sailing videos it is very hard to see any interesting progress sometimes.

15. You have amazing patience for the project and keep at it. I don't think I could ever do that, I think I would draw the line at fixing up a lightly damaged boat, or getting someone else to do the work…So much respect for basically building a Catamaran from scratch and I can't wait to see it progress more.

16. Good Title. ha ha ha

17. People who haven't known the pleasure of working on their own project. Don't understand the meaningful satisfaction one gets from the process itself. I know exactly what you're saying about being 50/50. I, too, have a similar ethic when it comes to boat building and sailing. Keep doing what you do the way you desire to do it.

18. Push on mates

19. Take your time and get it how you want it to be. The hurry up people are entirely wrong, as a boat builder and owner, you have to consider the eventuality of selling it. The glaring issues that are visible will definitely impact the resale value. I’ve never sold a boat before, but I have sold a house , and trust me it sells quicker when you don’t have any glaring defects. Besides, you have to worry about insurance and coast guard inspections.

20. Is no one going to is no one going to say anything about the absolutely fantastic tongue and cheek tittle of this video? It made me smile every time I read it.

21. totally agree with you

22. Just the title had me excited. Good episode guys!

23. Jess, You had me going there for a minute…. 3year before you find another project? I’ll be ready to buy it from you! Oh then you said 5-10…..
    Cheers Warren

24. Absolutely Jessica. Since so many sailors have watched your vids, you’ll be showing your boat wherever you go. Thanks

25. I watch your channel because of you guys. I've been hooked since the first video of this project. Even if it took another 3 years for you to get this boat exactly 100% to how you want it, I'll be watching. I don't like the videos where the 'builder' shows 5 years work in 20 minutes. I love the whole process. I am never going to build a boat. Ever. So for me this project, and others like yours I have found, are exactly what I want to see, the nitty gritty stuff. The learning, the mistakes, the problem solving. But I know I won't ever see the boat in real life(nor will many thousands of others), but you guys will. Every single day. So of course you want to make it 100% perfect. Just ignore them.
    Now, hurry up and get it finished please. Like, tomorrow.😉🤘

26. spooge it.

27. Having done several automotive builds I’ve learned the devil is in the details. Take your time like you have been, it’s looking good!
    I say just mix your videos up with some fun sailing and we can enjoy both sides! ❤

28. You talk about caulk to much. 😂

29. Honestly, i totally understand that its much easier for us commenters to say dont worry about the negative comments. They stand out. I get it. At the end of the day you know what you want. Thats what many of us are here for 😊 to support you guys! Go at your own pace and do what feels right for you.

30. Hey, it's not the size of the caulk that matters.

31. Jess – absolutely right!

32. The overhead placement of the camera was great to see how you were getting the caulk in there. Plus it was…artistic(?)…well, amusing anyway talking to us looking up into the camera. You might want to keep that camera view in mind for certain projects.

    Arriving for the first day of caulking in clean new clothes and before you even BEGIN there's a gigantic patch of dust on your thigh. I can imagine it's going to feel great when you have progressed past the fairing/sanding stage to fitting out and there is not dust EVERYWHERE. Not to mention how great it will feel when you've got her in the water. Your hard work will have paid off!

33. Is it possible to make the upper and lower sections removable so that you have access (especially to the winches above)? Seal what has to be sealed with fiberglass but then have some screws and gasketing to get those upper and lower sections out more easily. My suggestion is to give yourself some access without creating future problems that will require cutting things out.

34. I was a fiberglass structural and cosmetic glass man for decades. Now retired. I ran into situations over the years where the customer might be getting “antsy” towards the end of a project and they would startt to pressure me to get to the final stage of completion. I just use to say …. The boat is controlling the process . If you want it done right then certain steps have to be taken first for the next step to be satisfactory accomplished. I staked my reputation on the quality of the finished customer project. That was my calling card for decades.
    Occasionally I’d run across someone who didn’t get it. Yet, once completed that very same customer would be the one bragging about how the finished boat looked!
    Moral of the story is you are correct to continue “ steady as she goes”
    Their were times when I wanted to hop in the car to give you some help or pointers on how to smooth your interior panels quicker, however, you are doing just fine.
    “Remember, in the high end builds, your
    “ eye for detail, becomes a curse” ha ha
    You and others that say that “ the build”
    is just as much fun as the using of it later on
    are totally correct! Stay your course
    Best of luck. Tony. Former owner of

35. I built homes for a living, There is nothing wrong with perfection. I am 63 and still a perfectionist. Welcome to the club.

36. Thanks!

37. finsh bed room and move in

38. You can also use foam backer rods to fill large gaps before caulking.

39. I can see that you love what you are doing. Living in your home you will be proud of everything. It is worth it and some people don't get it that it is a great experience to have such a great project. Enjoy each day that takes you nearer to the goal.

40. Jess💖

41. Great Job!!! Thank You… 🙂

42. Tough caulking spot . Is that the slot for sliding door?
    Either way some of the ‘house type’ caulks are better for tooling and might be a better choice for a non critical application where the ultimate Marine sealant is not needed.
    Cheers Warren

43. We will NEVER tire of boat-building content! Keep it coming for as long as you need 🙂

44. Great to see y'all at St. Mike's Brewfest! Keep on doing your thing – it will all be worth it to have done it right the first time!

45. sanding. sanding. sanding.
    нахуй

46. I absolutely love the attention to detail. When you get this boat on the water, you will be very happy living in it all the time. Craftsmanship takes time. Keep up the great work.

47. By the time you finally finish this boat it'll be outdated.

48. Nice work, both of you.

49. We are always delighted with your on going attention to detail. Truly another brilliant caulking episode.
