At 10:43 the author creates filliet,

but I receive an error message.

I did not open your part or watch the tutorial, but in my experience, I have had success, when I created the fillets individually.  Meaning instead of having 4 entities under one fillet, try creating the fillets up to that point, then create the fourth as its own feature.  I am guessing you get a preview, but it wont create it?

I created a section view of your boat and found it is only a surface model.  You cannot apply a fillet to a surface edge since it has no mass.  Once you have created a solid from this surface, you will probably be able to create the fillet.

Oh, I am pretty sure you can.

How do you account for the several Fillets that are already applied?

The issue actually occurs much earlier in the design with non-tangent curves.

You missed a Horizontal constraint in your Sketch3 set at timestep 2:40 in the video. (It appears vertical orientation in the video, but is horizontal on the xyz world.

I suspect that there are probably other errors as well.

You missed an implied parallel in Sketch1.
