- Welcome to our boat tour! If you've been with us since the beginning, you probably already know the story of how Magic Carpet fell from a crane and was a total shipwreck and write-off. But what we HAVEN'T actually shown you is a full boat tour of our tiny home!! Here we go through the whole boat and talk about some of the changes and challenges that we encountered during the refit.

Thank you Paul! I also really love that feature -Maya
Yes what a cool idea!
I agree. It looks great.
What a special endeavor it is to take something that others had decided had no value.. but provided you a dream your vision, hard work, your dedication and sacrifice restoring her previous beauty and function. It's a mutual relationship of trust. She trusting you to love and care for her..and in turn..your hands knowing her intimately and confident she is strong and sound and will keep you safe underway. It's a grand adventure that allows for growth of the soul. Purpose is a beautiful thing. Happy travels.
so glad to see you again. this has been a really rough year for me as it may well be my last. But i miss both of your smiles. your free spirits and your individual talents. i also miss the beautiful vistas from you videos.. i say it often but its true. Your both so young and vibrant full of joy for life as an adventure! Your music always soothes my heart. I would just love to meet you real life. i wish i had the pleasure of knowing you personally though i feel like i do through your videos. You were my first channel with regard to the "Salt life" lifestyle and that make you special. I set in my wheelchair and look out the window of my home at the rolling green hills with horses yet and still i long to have spent time on the water.. I am grateful for you both being courageous enough to go for your dreams. Life seems relatively short when i look back. every day matters. Live fully , learn and love as many as you can.Being fulfilled for me means freedom to live as you want within nature? You have my December and January Best season wishes for your happiness. Sincerely i am Art in West Tennessee of USA!
hey i just happens to see your comment and i just want to say it really touched me. i hope you are staying well and are happy!
@@PaytonHetherinton Thank you kindly. im in W. Tn. I have always been a deep thinker and adventurous. I have realized over the years i was seeking the wrong goals? I now realize i could have lived without some of those jobs that paid so well? i had barely lost my health when i had stepped out by faith and lived relying on God? I had discovered at an early age that i had talent with drawing. eventually winning a Art Scholarship! Murals. Portraits and anything built custom was where i found one of my loved endeavors.I love my grandchildren and countless family members. I reflect on so many thousands over the years that have shared a kind word for me ,to me or prayed for me to the Lord. Thats what im truly grateful for. Thank you for being so kind as to say something that humbles me.
Neet as a pin, clean as a hospital, impressive, beautiful, well refitted and maintained. Kudos to both of you.
The Vindö looks so beautiful inside!!
And so many modern yachts look like they got their Interieur from Ikea, but cost a fortune even used.
I could live in the small space of Magic Carpet but never on a 50ft Jeanneau or Bavaria for 300k.
We have to agree with you there. The Vindö interiors really are works of art.
If Magic Carpet can talk , she would say thank you very very much for giving me a new life to this young couples ! 😄
Nice tour ! Lots of work has been done since the damage. Aladino is an excellent craftsman.
Beautiful boat and a tremendous job restoring her! I'm currently restoring a 50' motor yacht, and it feels like the work never ends. But the enjoyment comes when it's seaworthy. There is nothing like that first time at sea after all the hard work. You both are very talented, and it's great to see how well you work together.
Might I Make A Small Suggestion & Repair? In The Cockpit Floor Put A Say 1 1/2" or 2" PVC Drain In One Of Rear Corners Down Thru Engine Lid w/Flex PVC Hose To A High True Haul Drain Hole Overboard! Just In Case Ocean or Fresh Waters Do Get In... Very Nice Lil SailBoat Y'alls Have Rebuilt Wonderfully! Thanks
Don’t worry John, we have two very good cockpit drains already! We just didn’t point them out in the video. Thanks so much for watching and commenting! -Maya
As a possible future Vindö owner I get really inspired by Aladino's passion for its wood work. ❤
Wow, what a beautiful boat, I love all the teak. I especially like the teak on the sides of the cabin with fiberglass on the top, it’s a nice touch.
I’m very impressed with your restoration, You did an amazing job restoring her, I’m so glad you brought her back to life.
How sad to thinking she was destined for the landfill. You saved her! It’s obvious she is happy to be alive and sailing.
Many brilliant choices and innovations, a real beauty full of subtle delights.
Thank you for the boat tour. The most beautiful boat I was ever aboard was a Bristol Channel Cutter name "Tradition." And I spent many hours on the phone learning about boats from Lyle Hess, dreaming of building a sister ship to the Pardey's Taleisin. But that was 40 years ago. Now I'm planning to buy something similar to a Cape Dory Typhoon, modify it a bit to suit my purposes, and sail it on lakes in eastern Washington and northern Idaho. Your videos are both entertaining and enlightening. I have grandsons now; I'd like to teach them to sail. The practical solutions and the skilled construction the two of you explain and demonstrate is enlightening and encouraging.
Thank you Robert for all your nice comments!
Sounds like we have similar taste in boats. Teaching your grandsons how to sail sounds like a perfect plan:)
All the best with your boat endeavors
~aladino
The craftmanship of the boat, by the builder and the rebuilder, Aldadino, is quite evident on this boat tour. Thank You for showing us your home.
Im swedish, Im a sailer to, and that is one of the most beautiful sailboats built up here in the north! :D
Nice to hear you saved that one.
Subscribed! :D
Hi, i about to buy a Vindo 30 or an + hallberg Rassy P28wich one do you chose ? regards
Oohhhhh that was soooo interesting and helpful. Thank you for that. It did make us smile about looking at the beautiful wood not the stars. Lots of thought and pondering for us about our new boat from this episode..one thing we will miss from Mr Trouts old boat is the amount of storage space. It seems Magic Carpet has plenty of storage. Love love love the violin light
I am so so glad you found it helpful for your own project!! I’m so excited to see and hear more about how that all moves along for you both. And yes - I too absolutely love the violin light!!! -Maya
I absolutely love this little sloop! It is such a pretty design and super high quality. Aladino is a man of many talents.
You're not going to see this comment, but I just wanted to compliment you on all of your hard work and impressive skills in restoring that boat. Amazing job.
We see all our comments -- thank you very much!
I could not imagine a better or more heartfelt boat tour. THANK YOU! The videos of your adventures show how livable and flexible the boat can be.
This is an absolutely beautiful video while being totally practical at the same time. The best of all your videos...
I'm so glad you enjoyed it Steve! -Maya
What a gorgeous vessel. Thanks for bringing her back to life!
Having grown up in Sweden, this Vindö brings back many sweet memories.
Amazing restoration. Congrats!
Love! Love! Love! Really Love this Video!!!
Oh thank you so much Elliot! -Maya
A lovely little sailboat, fixed and remodeled into a little dream sailboat. I really love it.
I really take my hat off to your efforts to save the beautiful yacht!
Excellent tour with some very well thought out modifications. Sail Safe. Ant, Cid & the Pooch crew.
Thank you guys so much, and thank you for commenting on all our videos! Though we don’t always reply, we do read them all and really appreciate them :)
She is a beautiful little boat with all the things you need. You both have made her look fantastic and functional.
Now I know what the under and over are doing in the engine bay. oil change episode had me thinking🤔
The boat is a credit to your husband's skill.
really love that violin lamp. 5 star, top shelf, 1st class !!!
😊👍🏽
Whew!! Beautiful boat, enjoy! I love a tiller , great modifications
PERFECT sailboat for 2 , you both are very lucky .
actually one of my favourite vids... I am just restoring my old vindoe 30 and this gives some inspiration :)
The violin light is the cherry on the cake, excellent cake! All MagicCarpet woodwork is fantastic and complete! As I designed and built my 33' wooden cutter 20 years ago (lots of work... but great satisfaction!), I feel entitled to foreward my very best congratulations to you two for your VERY beautiful jewel. I hope to meet you someday in the Greek seas where I keep and sail my "ODYSSEA".
A wonderful video for all us boat geeks and freaks,Paladino is an extraordinary craftsman and the boat is absolutely lovely and incredibly well engineered. Cheers to you both
: You are one handy guy. You do beautiful work. Your boat is exceptional. Blessings to you both. ⛵
It's such a beautiful boat and cozy tiny home. You should be very proud.
For her size, that's a really well equipped boat. Great work.
best boat tour in the history of boat tours.
What an incredible vessel.
Table the rotates, that's so cool
Thank you Maya and Aladino for this video. I found it very interesting. You guys are living your dreams.
Very nice rebuild. Great use of space!👍✌️😊🙏🏼⛵️⛵️⛵️
Thank you!! Aladino’s pretty amazing eh? -Maya
Beautiful yacht. Beautiful and talented crew.
It is good that Maya knows the boat so well. It will serve you both well in an emergency.
Congratulations. Magic Carpet is a beautiful name. You have such a wonderful boat, a little jewel. Take care!
Dino, you are a master tradesman!
Such a great re-fit. The mahogany is truly beautiful!
InstaBlaster...
Fantastic little boat. It's beautiful.
About the dryness in seas. Yes, it is built on Orust, a small island in western Sweden and it built for both coastal/archipelago cruising and for taking on the waves of the deadly North Sea. It has to be dry to be sailable there since water temps can get down to deadly levels spring and fall.
This boat layout is amazing
Aladino give yourself a hand what a great job you did thanks for the tour.
Thank you very much Luciano!
Glad you enjoyed it:)
~aladino
Simply beautiful.. especially under the cockpit.. the rounded grain pattern.. "the curvature" oh ya..
the glass for the petrol lamp can be ordered in at Auke Rauwerda in Leeuwarden/NL. just send a picture of the remaining body or the lamp in a original state and the measurement of the fitting and they can provide you with several options. They really have EVERY glasscap you can imagine.
I lived on a 30' boat for 12 years in Half Moon Bay living on a mooring in the summer. Saved a pile in Bay Area rents.
What a fab boat, thanks for letting us peek inside your home.
You have done really well to save this old ship. 4 years is a long time.
When you have infinite amount of money and time it's actually not that big of a deal and they obviously have both.
Enjoyed the tour, thank you. You both complement each other well.
Toujours magnifique bravo très très belle video
I love Magic and love all your changes. Impressive, love your additions Maya
You two are living my dream! Keep posting :)
Personally, I think the white fibreglass painted top looks better than the teak picture you showed. Sets off the mahogany superbly.
Aye m8's thnx for a nice tour! Aha, that's what I've been nagging on, the violin re… mount/re purpose/re make. Really liked Aladinos clever solutions in every nook. 👍👍👍
Thank you MiQ!
Appreciate your support:)
~aladino
Thank you MiQ!
Appreciate your support:)
~aladino
You have a very beautiful home/boat.
Thank you so much!!! -Maya
THANK YOU for the cockpit tiedown idea!!! Our whole cockpit well comes out but it's a beast and normally it's screwed in. We're switching to a gasket and I hadn't come up with the tiedown/fastener method yet.
Wow, you popped up thanks to the youtube algoritm. Nice to see a vidö in such nice condition. Lived very close to vidö boats as young as my father was one of the owners of the ship yard around 1980. He told many stories about customers that brought their boats via the canals to the mediteranian see. Good luck!
A beautiful compact boat - very well designed and organised
So amazing to watch, going to show this to the people who owned Vindö Yachts, they've sold the boatyard but the family still lives in the same place. My great granddad bought a boat off the man who created Vindö Yachts :)
Great tour, I love the sliding sink and violin lighting!
The attention to detail on the whole boat shows and I hope you always sail safe.
Greetings from BC Canada!
You two definitely have skills. Kudos to you both.
BRILLIANT
Great video,many thanks . Warm greetings from the garden island of Kauai
Brilliant and beautiful work you two..... have a wonderful, safe and prosperous life aboard Magic Carpet
Awesome, thanks guys!
You might feel 28' is small, but have a read of Shane Acton's book Shrimpy. He sailed from the UK around the world in easy stages in an 18' Caprice, half way round he met his partner and they carried on together. Ask Santa or see if a library can get it for you as its out of print and copies seem rather expensive, but it is a good read and worth the effort.
Consider a strap to keep the folding side of the table to keep it from swinging into someones knee while sitting or walking past. Happy Holidays.
Thx Honor!
But we re quite happy as it is
The table is so heavy That it doesn’t really go anywhere else but pointing down. The only reason for lashing it down it when the hinges start squeeking but so far oil has helped:) aladino
So Cool!!!
Thanks for the tour. Beautiful boat, and craftsmanship! Favorite detail was violin light. Very imaginative!
Beautiful!
Thanks vindos are rare outside the Baltic, so don’t see them in the UK interesting with beautiful wood that I too would be lost to, I quite like the Vega it has a big community and a get you there reputation, well done for saving the boat
Looks like a well-found vessel. It wouldn't take much to make Magic Carpet into a fine little bluewater passage-maker. A bigger water tank and a reinforced companionway would pretty much do it, plus some wires along the deck (for attaching your harness in the event of having to go for'ard in a blow). You might have to forego the solar panels - a bimini is very vulnerable to wave damage - but a wind generator would mitigate the loss, as would putting a small panel on the fore-hatch.
Great video...! Job well done.
Man, you did a freaking awesome job with this wrack!!! Im sure when you approched the people to get this boat everybody was thinking you are crazy and never would be finished it. But you proved everybody wrong!!!!!
Beautiful boat...that you saved and appreciate. You did a fantastic job. The scar represents life...and Magic Carpet won. Great job!
👍👍👍
Thanks for posting and sharing your boat tour.🙂
That's a beautiful boat. The work y'all did is amazing.. I'm a new sub an I'm going to catch up now!
Thank you so much Donna!
Me too!
Nice boat. My wife and I set a goal of getting a boat on our honeymoon and unfortunately moved to Colorado right after that. We ended up moving to Mississippi since I was on the external tank project for the Space Shuttle. I ended up working the Orion Space Capsule after that and it was sent to Florida for completion. I saw a great opening and took it. I was there on TDY for 11 months and bought a contest 31. We launched it in June and blew a head gasket right off the bat. That's fixed now and we're launching pretty soon. A friend and I are sailing her over to Mississippi and then my wife3 and trusty dog are taking off for a few weekends. We will be going to Belize or Mexico to go see the ruins we can't get to from a cruise ship. This boat will be for the keys and Bahamas mostly.
Beautiful very very beautiful amazing restoration of something so close to being thrown away 👍👍
I'm gonna sail the Med alongside Magic Carpet someday. I honestly think Magic Carpet is the world's most beautiful boat and I'm not just saying that. The perfect amount of exterior teak along with the mahogany exterior on the saloon and the blue canvas just look stunning.
Lovely boat, and lovely video. Congratulations! Wish you fair winds.
I have sailed vicariously with you for many hours. You do well. If I may suggest, please put standard boilerplate in every comment section listing your names, fanciful titles, brief bios, the boat name and make/model, and a listing of the music credits for each video. I watch a lot of sailing channels, and need the reminders and pointers to the music. Maya's musical selections are wonderously eclectic, and are listed in the trailer usually, but it would be nice if they were always in text also. Keep sailing on!
Dudes got skills!
Beautiful boat and beautiful work.
Guys, thanks for this vid. I just bought a Vindö 30 and I share a similar love of Vindö. But holy crap, you guys pimped this baby! Well done!
Beautiful work ! Thank you for illuminating me to the nuances of a vintage small boat. ; ) ⛵️
What a great job you did on the rebuild.
Wonderful tour and wonderful boat. You guys must of put a amazing amount of thought in the rebuild. WELL DONE! I'd like to suggest an idea to add easily on to any boat. Found on a car in sunvissor is a lite mirrror when opened, and when closed the lite goes out. It mounts flush. I think it would be cool and fictional idea to add to the boat. My blessings to the two of you, glad your back on the water.
This is an absolutely beautiful sailboat.
An excellent video! Maya, you have become so worldly. We're all jealous of course, but I doubt many of us would be as well suited for your life of leisure...
Such a classic and classy and full of heart and beauty. Beautiful vessel, wonderful refit!
very well thought out and executed
