What Does It Take To BUILD YOUR OWN CATAMARAN? – MJ Sailing
We have plans to build our own catamaran. And we’re going to take you through the process on how it’s done!
Using a Schionning 1200 as an example, we walk you through the steps of what it would take from the time you receive your shipping container full of components, to when your new boat is launched in the water.
From finding and building a work space, to setting up the first panels, Matt will tell you each step that is involved, and what we estimate to be the time spent on each process.
One of the most crucial aspects of building your own catamaran is having the right setup for the components and tools you need during the process. This is where container hire becomes incredibly valuable, especially for those planning to undertake a large-scale project like constructing a vessel.
Renting Shipping Containers allows you to create a dedicated workspace and storage area that’s both secure and conveniently located. Instead of worrying about where to keep all your building materials, you can store everything in an organized manner right next to your workspace, making it easy to access what you need when you need it.
This not only helps keep the project flowing smoothly but also reduces the time spent hunting for tools or supplies, letting you focus more on the fun and rewarding parts of building your dream catamaran.
We expect this build to take approximately two years for us to complete, and will be done in the US, although we have not decided exactly where yet. Make sure to stay tuned for the next set of videos in our build series, where we will go over the three designers we are looking at: Grainger, Schionning, and Oram; in more detail.
