Sailing SV Make My Day
Hi we’re Michael & Leontien. A couple from the Netherlands in our 50s. We purchased our girl Make My Day in September of 2015 with purpose of exploring this beautiful planet of ours. She’s a 1980 Carena 40 steel ketch built in Zaandam in the Netherlands.
We didn’t like the idea of waiting until we were old enough to retire before starting out. Our plan was 5 years in the making. Getting our boat and ourselves as ready as possible before untying the lines. Since we’re too “young” to retire, we had to make a lot of adjustments to our life in order to afford this adventure.
This channel will try to show you the challenges we face and the rewards we reap. From the preparation of the boat and never ending maintenance to the challenges of the open sea and the beautiful places we visit.

107 MAKE MY DAY - Project: Ceiling
Переглядів 2523 місяці тому
6 years ago we opened a spot in the ceiling of the salon to try and locate a leak. We found some rusty spots which we repaired and repainted. We continued looking for the source of the leak on the deck. We found some spots and repaired them. The leaks slowed but never completely stopped. The ceiling was made of plywood that was glued and stapled to the beams. This made accessing the wiring and ...

@@MolaMolaSailing Greetings back👋😜
Music 🤢🤢🤢
Gaan jullie ooit nog weer zeilen?
@@Cantorsenang 😂Dat is wel de bedoeling, maar we gaan jullie niet meer inhalen😂
@SailingMakeMyDay Het is ook geen race, maar meer een ontdekkingstocht.
Wow, wat een mooi exemplaar nog! Wist niet dat die er nog waren. Mijn ouders hebben een Carena 40 laten bouwen bij Porsius in 1979. Het was de eerste 40 voeter. Lemstra kwam regelmatig bij ons eten. Ik was toen nog maar 6-7 jaar oud. Ieder weekend gingen we naar de werf om details door te spreken. Herinner me de tewaterlating nog goed. Heb daar ook nog flink wat foto’s van. Mijn hele jeugd hebben we als gezin mee gevaren. Stapels vakantiefoto’s! Hij leek sprekend op jullie boot. Weten jullie toevallig wie de eerste eigenaren van jullie boot waren?
@@zeevantijd1997 Dank je wel. Leuk om te horen. 👍🏼Ik heb je een bericht terug gestuurd via Messenger😜
How many people have you waved off, do you know? MMD is looking spiffing ⛵️🥰. Bet you're super pleased to be in the water. Great video guys, love & miss you both ❤⛵️🐾
@@SailingSVCordelia We didn’t count… a lot. Most of them we will see back again😜 Still a lot to do before we will leave this paradise. Big hugs🫶😘
Nice movie, bijna klaar met alle klussen?
Bijna..🤔 nog een paar.. nog 2 weekjes denken we… daarna wachten op goed windje met niet zo grote golven..
Thats was about time haha
@@erikmortensen6541 🥳
Wat een prachtige film over jullie belevenissen. ❤Trudy t H
@@hermanterhorst3897 dank trudy🙏😘
Hi guys! Great to see you back in the water. It's always a good feeling. Cheers!
@@manuelgarrido3087 it’s wonderful 😍🥳
I've never heard Michael swear like that before 😂😂 You did a lot of different jobs whilst out. Boat injuries and scars are a way of life for us sailors lol I think you both need to come and paint our boat, we love yours, it looks so good and ours looks bloody awful. That's a great toy to clean the ropes and yes you must have pants for that job and Steve is impressed you needed 2 hands hahaha! Your headlining looks awesome, great job. Great video. Love and miss you loads ❤🥰⛵
@@SailingSVCordelia Just know that we are thinking a lot about you wacky kids😂 This is a good place to haul out and not expensive. But it depends how wide your boat is. When it’s more than 4,25 meters you can forget it. Temperature is good for painting here. But this year it rained a lot (more than usual) We can help you paint the boat( when we will still be here😂) But we also know people here who can spray paint your boat here. Just giving idea’s 😜
@@SailingMakeMyDay love you both, will consider the paint job 😉 xx
Fantastisk work, have you ever Dreamed about a glasfiber boat. ❤😂
@@erikmortensen6541 Yes we do😂
So much boatyard fun in one episode. Great work team.
@@Dreamtimesail We do our best we can. The boatyard is not our favorite place to be. Thanks for watching
Hi guys! Great to see your videos, as always. That ceiling looks very good, well done! Sorry to say but, sometimes when I watch your videos I feel very happy to not have a steel boat. I have a boat quite similar to yours but in "plastic" and I'm now where you were like 3 years ago, but if you're gonna be there for a while, I will maybe see you in Porto Santo. Who knows... Cheers!
@@manuelgarrido3087 Sometimes we wish we had a plastic boat😂 It would be nice to meet you… somewhere… sometime👍🏼
Great video, thinking you would love the Dutch Community in Curacao. Regards to Zeepard!
@@rainfinger Say hi to them from us😜
@@SailingMakeMyDay There must be 40 Dutch-flag sailboats anchored in Spaanse Water, Curacao.
Volgende keer snijolie gebruiken bij het boren in staal. Nieuwe CC nog even schuren 😅
@@janspeur71 We know.😜Hoe bevalt jullie CC? … in vergelijking met finsulate?😂😂
The CC overall still looks good. Strabge there was conflicting advice for the Sika, more than fingers crossed its okay. Miss you guys ❤
@@SailingSVCordelia It’s all okay. Went back in the water yesterday and we are still floating 🥳😂Miss you 😘
The perfect man to make the " bottom hole" bigger 😅.
@@foolofdestruction We did our best, it took a while , but it’s working 🥳
Nice shirt 😂
That was a loth of work, it is looking good.
@@haraldhorsthuis8450 We’re still floating 👍🏼
Hi guys! Well done! I like your "multicolour" prop. It looks like it takes a lot of work to keep a steel boat in good shape. I hope your new depth sounder doesnt´t leak... Cheers!
@@manuelgarrido3087 We found out yesterday. It’s working and not leaking🥳Whoohoo👍🏼
Tukker off mother tukker??? 😂😂😂😂😂
Een ouwe T-shirt gemaakt voor Lowlands 2002😂
Sailing is a lot of work😂
@@jerrilutkins6675 Yes it is.
🎶"I like Limoncello" 😂
@@ndjoyinglife also Mirto is really good😂Michael is really good in making songs😂😂
A good find, those blasted leaks are the worst. Sorry to see you're having to redo the CC again. Great informative video guys. Love & miss you both 🧡⛵️ xx
@@SailingSVCordelia Michael was pressure washing it really hard. We decided when we got more “blister kinda things” again to let it be what it is. There was no rust under it… We will find out.. Love to see you back on board again. Hope Gus is already feeling at home as well? Love & Miss U2 Big hugs
Nice boat … what make and size is the boat?
@@petesilvestri Thank you🙏 It is a steel ketch from 1980. It’s a Carena 40. Made in The Netherlands. She is 11.90 meters and 3.85 wide.
Kneedbaar: malleable...nooit geweten/never knew ;)
@@sailingsvmutiny1762 It’s always nice to learn a new word every day 😂
Joukes neef, die Sirius heeft gerenoveerd, heet Pim. Kneedbare epoxy heet dus: Pimdakaas. Ofwel: epoxy, gemengd met houtstof
@@SYSirius We use microballoons for plamuur in epoxy. Mix it up till it looks like pindakaas 😂 Next time we will call it pindakaas😂😂
Kippenvel, prachtige beelden!
@@thomasroels84 Was erg mooi. Bij het eerste nummer had ik spontaan tranen in mijn ogen. Hoe gaat het in België? Kunnen jullie een beetje wennen? Werk/ school
We doen ons best 😏
Your always working hard ❤
@@erikmortensen6541 not always… but it’s almost time for some sailing again..
Pfff, it's like a house with a garden. Always work to do 😅
@@haraldhorsthuis8450 no a house with a garden doesn’t move all the time, in the sun and a salty ocean around it. Most important it also can’t sink.
Hi guys! Those leaks that we don't know where they come from, are the worst. Good you could find it, good job! It looks like now it's a little bit of working time. Good luck with that. Cheers!
@@manuelgarrido3087 thanks. Michael always thinks that a leak starts at a neighbor’s boat😂
I miss my island 🥴
@@Isabel-1970 How many nights till you are going back? 😂
@@SailingMakeMyDay i went to marina today for coffe,but i think you whasnt there ☺️
@@Isabel-1970 We were on our boat inside. We will go to the bar in a few minutes..
@@SailingMakeMyDay sorry i'm at home now preparing the dinner, next time i send a mensage for you came to the marina bar☺️
@@Isabel-1970 That’s a good idea👍🏼 Send a WhatsApp to Michael, and we will join👍🏼
Lot of work my friends 💪👏👏
@@Isabel-1970 Not so much time to come and drink some poncha’s this year. We’ll be back with Columbus next week😜😘
Great video!

Hi guys! Definitely, not everyday we can see a piano on a sailing boat, on a beautiful sailing boat, I have to say. Great idea and another lovely moment to get into your memories. Thanks for sharing! Cheers!

@@rainfinger on the spanish water? Say hi to “Waveguide” Addy & Astrid from us
I (Annette) play the piano so really appreciated this. There is a sailing family called Five Go Sailing from the UK that had their piano built into their boat, nutters they are lol Another great video. Miss & love you both 🥰🥰xx
@@SailingSVCordelia this winter they will cross the Atlantic. Maybe you will see them on the other side. It’s worth it to see and hear👍🏼 Miss U2. Big hugs😘
You always seem to be sayibg farewell to people lol I've said it before, but your lives are one big party 😂 PS definitely like their carnival/festivals. Lovely video, miss your fun & laughter ❤⛵️

We are in Curacao, waiting out hurricane season. It is a wonderful anchorage.😊
