Sailing in the Mediterranean and Beyond

In this final episode with Rory Rory talks about completing is circumnavigation.

This is from Rory's website http://www.roryandcookie.com/about.html

"In 1989 Rory McDougall had a dream. Inspired by Laurent Bourgnon who crossed the Atlantic in a Hobie 18 catamaran, Rory had the burning passion to sail

around the world on the smallest catamaran and multihulled sailboat.

Rory tried for 2 years to get support and sponsorship to create a high-tech event to circumnavigate the world on an open-deck beach catamaran. Fantastic

support came from TIMBERLAND, NORTH SAILS UK, RIGEL COMPASSES, BROOKES & GATEHOUSE in the form of products - but no boat to float them on!! In the end it

made sense to choose a less extreme catamaran that had living space below and gave a low-tech and low-expense way of getting afloat. The Wharram Tiki 21

design was the perfect choice.

This is the fifth episode on laminate working and this one is on tools and techniques for vacuum bagging of composite reinforced laminate's with Louis Martins a long time listener and boat builder located in Lisbon Portugal.

If you buy or build a boat you're going to need to learn these techniques and while it's better to actually watch videos on this topic. Here you can at least get a head start in the terminology and the thought process of learning to use epoxy reinforced fiberglass, graphite or Kevlar and also using polyester resins with the same materials.
