The Science Channel How it's Made

Thursday November 5th on the Science Channel, the How It's Made show will do a segment on Racing Catamarans filmed at Falcon Marine.

sweet!

Wonder if I can View it on the SC website after it airs (I don't have cable)

thanks for the heads up!

I was just coming to post this. Looking forward to it.

There is a "How it is Made" marathon all day, but this is in the 9pm episode. It is in an episode with a couple of other things, so don't give up if it is not shown first.

Their website has a ton of stuff on it (I didn't spend enough time to see if entire episodes were available), so you may be able to watch it sometime in the future.

I do find myself binge watching "How its made" often. Great stuff.

Dang Netflix... got me binge watching all kinds of stuff

for those of us in another country and broadcast schedule, can someone advise series and episode number?

Will us basic cable guys be able to see it? I'm not sure if I even have the Science Chanel?

Not if your basic package is as paltry as mine...

All of the How its Made episodes are also available as Torrents btw, for those who don't get Discovery.

There is also an episode showing the manufacture of North 3D laminated sails. Pretty impressive stuff.

Can't list the cool "How It's Made" episodes without mentioning the Hall Spars one.

I've got upgraded TWC with the extra channels and I couldn't find it

This thread need some links

looks like a popular show to put up on the internet.
here is one example. there seem to be multiple youtube channels devoted to it. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzOuiO_Hm0fVw_ZSdJvn6SA

The Hobie Cat factory was covered by John Ratzenberger's Made in America, another great series.

Mike

The History Channel used to run random episodes of How It's Made, too. Might be able to get a link to them from that channel?

Managed to find it yesterday on my cable box. I like how Matt Factory installs the rudders and checks their operation :-P
Looks like had a great day for doing on the water shots. Gina was the star of the segment
:-D

And how could she not be? Like we want to stare at Matt's ugly mug.

I'll have to look on YouTube for it. We don't have broadcast tv, we download our stream everything.

Dude, you really need to move south, at least to Canada, I think they have TV there.

I was going to post a link for my fellow cord-cutters, but it says it is not available in my country... any ideas?

If you take the aluminum foil off the rooftops, windows and ceilings. You may get a better signal.

Then the aliens and republicans will be able to read my thoughts, that's no bueno.

When did you start getting thoughts?

just FYI the title never mentions "racing catamarans", I think its a tachometer that's suppose to air on that show. Luckily I waited it out and Matt and Gina were the last segment.

I missed it an thanks to the How It's Made marathon, it rolled off my DVR before I had a chance to see it.

I recorded it and watched last week. Fun for us sailors to see cats sailing! Too short and a bit confusing to anyone who had never seen a similar process. These segments go by fast. They spent some time showing the foam core being formed to fit the hull. Some time on the vacuum bagging and resin infusion process. Then the final frame assembly. What did it say? 6 weeks to build a boat?

Wait, you're a gun-hoarding DEMOCRAT? It's too late, the aliens have clearly already done their damage and moved on.

Mike

Democrat,Republican. Same same. They're both there to rape me, not sure a logo really matters.

I recall seeing kayaks being made years ago, not sure who the manufacturer was

Have they been to Hobie?

They should! (if they haven't)

Matt:

Has the Hobie foam core hull manufacturing process changed over the years, or is the process relatively static now?

Same process. No changes.

Here is a link to the file of the episode.

It will expire in 7 day. If anybody wants to host the file somewhere please do so soon.

Downloaded! Thanks!

Not a bad story, but that show could suck the mojo out of Hugh Hefner.

what app is needed to play the link?

VLC player will play almost anything and will work with that mlk file.

Windows Media Player will play it with a codec pack. I use K-lite.

Finally remembered to watch it. Pretty cool seeing our tiny sport on TV. Good job Matt & Gina!
