Aladino clearly is in his element with projects, just look how exited he is! When you are off on your trip around the World you will have to tow a barge behind so that he can continue with new projects.😁😁😁
There's no shortage of shit to fix while cruising... especially with an older boat. We've kept ahead of our projects enough that we can actually go sail a little bit, but a constant amount of oil changes, rebedding, corrosion, etc...
@@sailinggizmo This St George cutter is having a full refurbishment so that to all intents and purposes its a new boat. The same applied to Magic Carpet 1, also refurbished by Aladino, and we didn't see many on going maintenance issues with that. Magic Carpet II is due a new engine and systems so hopefully it will be reliable and need only regular planned servicing.
@@clivewilliams3661 You're missing the point... a boat (especially a cruiser) is in constant need of maintenance and repair. Don't kid yourself about a new boat being problem-free. Fair winds Magic Carpet crew
Aladino, you and Maya have slaved over sanders, grinders, multitools, chisels, saws, scrapers, acetone, epoxy, for years. The soda blasting is the reward for all the "grunt" work and for putting out a quality video series. Bon chance mes amis!
I actually found this boat a few years ago. I loved it from the start but it obviously needed work. So glad that Alideano could put his skill and work ethic into it. Love you .
Yup, definitely lots of work! To be fair, it would’ve been alright as a coastal cruiser for many years if it had gotten a new engine, but Aladino wanted to make sure the boat is safe for more offshore cruising in the future.
@@SailingMagicCarpet I'm glad Aladino thinks like this... The ocean is beautiful but merciless. Here's hoping you get to enjoy the good life for many many years to come!
During my 20+ years of FRP boat building, we used black backing gelkote to facilitate rolling out air bubbles during the lamination process. Not saying that was the reason on your boat, but it is possible.
Protection from the rainy Vancouver winter is a must, not a luxury and will lead to improved outcome and productivity. Good decision. By keeping the lumber close to original dimensions it will be resellable for sure.
So nice that Dad has to help and wants to. It will be so exciting to see the ship launched. Hope for you the best in the year 2024... greetings from Denmark...
Having followed you for some time I fully believe that "Magic Carpet II" will be the best looking vessel on the oceans. I hope you had an awesome holiday period, may 2023 be your best year to date.
Merry Christmas & a happy new year. Onwards & upwards. Looking forward to what 24 will bring. All the best you guys. Keep up the good work 💪. SV Kiwi Lady Opua Bay of islands New Zealand 👍🏿
Amazing work, you two! This is Scott and Beth from CG31 Tally Ho! in Seattle. Just noticed that Aladino mentioned the installation of fore and aft hawse cleats. I added midship hawse cleats and have really found them to be an excellent addition. Might be worth considering since you’re in the process anyway. Cheers!
Hi guys! I have been following you from the beginning. Maya your violin playing is a wonderful addition and I immensely enjoy listening. I was a boat builder when in my 20's and have recently (decades later) just finished a 12 year build of a small custom blue water sailboat. I will be installing electrical this winter as well. Good choice on the ply and frame cover - I used a tent and had to replace the top twice due to UV damage. I am just north of Seattle and one stormy day, 50 knot winds shredded the fabric. On this recent boat, I have placed 1/4" fiberglass pads under as many deck fittings as possible. This greatly reduces leaks and I highly recommend this approach. I used Kiwi Grip for anti skid and am very pleased with the result. I have a light boat and so weight is a large factor in deciding which materials to use. I appreciate your attention to detail and your meticulous approach. Definitely a kindred spirit. My wife says I am a scientist obsessively building a cathedral cum boat.
Glad to see an in-depth explained step by step process of the re-build, all in the right order. You have patience in spades man. And also massaging the emotional load so it doesn't come back and slap you, or break to a bubbling mess. Bravo
Antifouling removal is no joke, Ericson 28 on the hard for 97 days now. 1/8th inch / 3.2 mm of antifouling paint removal. It was like scraping concrete and sanding granite. We are finally on epoxy barrier coat part of the project now after blister repair.
I watched Sailing Melody the other day he had a t shirt on saying I am no Aladino. Because he was doing the sole, wood work everyone gets compared to you.
It’s terrific having you in Canada again🇨🇦. The recap was great. The wooden frame is a great idea. I had a friend who built one and he used ribbed fibreglass at the top because if it’s strength and to direct the runoff. He used tarps to wrap half way down to the ground. When he was finished he got half his money back
Je suis un francophone au Québec, et vous êtes la seule chaine youtube que je comprends en anglais !!! Vous parlez vraiment bien, tout est clair, j'adore ! Merci pour vos supers videos !
Maya, that's an interesting point you make about everyone cheering you on. Made me think about all those people who are going through what you are without the huge community support. And of course we who cheer you on get so much pleasure seeing you learn and grow and accomplish so much. Thank you for letting us into your life. By the way, really cool to see MCII in the sunshine (at least until the shed is up!).
Like that you are bringing us with you still! Sometimes the old. Ways are still the best way. Keep sawing! If you add wax to the blade it will cut easier with less drag.
Trooper-dad is about to earn himself a cape for that real super-duper-hero he's appearing as, now and then running through Maya's pictures I reckon. 😁 Have yourself a nice New-Years Eve and a healthy, happy 2024, Maya and Dini! Thanks for putting in the effort of filming and sharing. Please pass on my regards to newly-caped Super-Dad, from Dad to Dad, so to say!
As a suggestion, the Duracell Project weather cover looks like a good simple structure to keep your project relatively dry. And as earlier stated just a suggestion! Being a long time BC West Coaster, I know the game,in both production and quality of the end result, is getting any project into the dry as much as possible. Wishing You All The Best In 2024!
glad to see your boat in Canada. I built a very similar shed over my Bristol 40 that I did a complete keel up rebuild on. It worked great keeping everything dry in New England weather. Covered it with shrink wrap and the snow would just slide right off. Good plan to soda blast the bottom, it's amazing how much paint and weight comes off when you do that.
The best boat tent I’ve seen is your good mate Matt at Project Duracell. The thin lumber formed into a vierendeel truss and plastic covering was smart, light and minimal waste.
My boat has a similar black layer just on top of the gelcoat (underwater only). It's very hard, and extremely difficult to remove. I was said it most likely some form of tar. After some reading, I found there is something called coal tar, and/or coat tar epoxy. It's used as a barrier coat.
Aladino and Maya: The scenery is quite different from your original shed option. Sorry to hear Lowe's is closing, our Sister-in-Law manages one in New Hampshire and she loves her occupation; yet the price was right. Wishing you both great success in launching in 2024 and for this episode and all previously viewed, all outstandingly edited. Thank you again for sharing, I've learned so much from this tremendous rebuild. Happy New Year!
Best wishes for your project. It was nice to see you back on the waters again and I feel convinced that you will soon enjoy your new home on new waters. Happy New Year!
Good morning you 2 😻 , Watching Magic Carpet 2 on a Caturday morning with coffee - everything's right with the world again -😸😺 Best wishes to you for a Happy , Healthy , productive 🛠 New Year 🎉🎆🎻🎊😸
Whoa......I was lost for what seemed like forever without my SMC vids......glad to have u guys back. For a brief time u will be like ducks out of water but u guys are pro's and will have a real nice system in place real soon. It pained me to see all of your hard work out in the elements....get her under cover until she is ready to launch. Its great having u guys back again and I hope with all of your new adjustments that the project will go smooth. Is it Friday yet?
Looking forward to future videos as you continue with the outfitting of Magic Carpet II. I am especially interested to see how the chain plates will be installed for the standing rigging.
Splash in 2024.:wow! I’m so excited for you. Still lots of work to do. Good luck and happy New Years. Hope you had a great Christmas. I continue to look forward to your journey. 😊🙏😎
Skönt att se att du verkar må bra Maya, var orolig för dig innan när du nästan gick i väggen. Glöm inte att ta rast och andas ibland. Älskar verkligen att följa erat äventyr. Kent i Sverige
Ive been watching you guys for years and love your content, but this has been a very interesting project. I just love how you are so flexible in your refit. Keep up the good work. Happy New Year
Happy belated Christmas wishes! And, 🕺🎉Happy Eve of New Years Eve!🎉💃🏼 And a huge congratulation on choosing soda blasting, seriously, soda lasting is da bomb! So incredibly fast, while at the same time, very gentle on your base material. For those that don’t know, It’s used a lot in the antique automobile restoration community. It’s also the only medium that’s allowed for serious cleaning of built up whatever in many food flash freezing tunnels due to its non toxicity, and the ease of cleaning up the stuff used to clean up. Who knew Bicarbonate of Soda could be so magical! Speaking of magical, congratulations of the swift sale of Magic Carpet. As a long time (just coastal, but also an aircraft carrier) boater, I can completely understand the bitter sweet fair well to a craft that transported you to magnificent sights, and physical sensations. Anyway, onward through the fog towards the completion of the final outfitting! So many new and wonderful stops along the journey await you two! Cheers from Dallas Texas!
Maya at 16.54min: "Van- life!" 😁😁😁👍👌👏 Aladino at 18.18min: "Mission: Keep the Dini dry!' 😁😁😁👍👌👏 I am sooo happy to see and hear that you two are less stressed after having had that absolutely necessary Sweden vacation. Selling Magic Carpet helped too. It's always impressive to witness Aladino working away tasks with full power and full concentration. Even if the tasks are no fun to do. Hand sawing the bulwark parts was definitely no easy job. But, as always, he pulled through. I'm glad that you found the materials and decided to build a shed for MC2. I'm very excited and eagerly looking forward to watch the next video. As always: Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing. Best regards luck and health in particular.

Best wishes for the New Year, may it be full of love, joy, wealth, good health, rapid boat work,and sailing on the west coast. by the way Aladino welcome to Canada
I have a D12 it is one of my prize possessions. A collectors item yours has been sharpened many many times. "I believe you are asking about the Disston No. 12 saw. It is a handsaw that was considered the top-of-the-line saw by Disston, with the possible exception of the Victorysaws 1. The saw is a work of art on a mass-produced scale. It has London Spring steel and an ornate chip-carved applewood handle with the old-style mounting, the mounting similar to a No. 7 1. The saw feels big in the hand, quite different from the D-8 and similar, later saws 1. The No. 12 saw is also available in a skewback version, No. 112, sold 1901-1928, followed by the D-112 1. The blade was subjected to more hammer work than lesser-quality saws to give tension to the steel. The controlled introduction of internal stresses into the cold steel through hammering and subsequent tempering, resulting in a “tensioned” saw blade, creates a blade that is less likely to wander or vibrate unnecessarily in use 1. The No. 12 saw is a ripsaw with a fine wheat-effect carving 1. The average length of a banana is between 7 and 8 inches"
Hi guys I found you on my home page. I am subscribed to Wayward Life sailing just up the coast from you there. they are rebuilding a steel sail boat about the same size as yours but in steel. so it will be interesting to see the differences in what you both have to do to get your boats back in the water. I hope your holiday was happy and I am looking forward to the next video. 😀😀
Don’t feel bad about spending money on the cover. It’s critical that Aladino can work on the outside without worrying about weather. It will save you time in the long run. And build a proper set of stairs, he will be going up and down quite a bit.
All my best for 2024! Thank you for taking all of us along. I learn so much from both of you - boats and life, even though I am as old as your parents. (Even have a Westy!) I hope one day I can meet you. Victoria BC.
When you are done, you can use that lumber to build yourself a Tiny House by your folks house to stay in when you visit home. They can rent it as an Airbnb to make a little extra income while you sail around. Just thinking ahead!
For encapsulating your bulwarks: I have been using HDPE board as a mixing board for VE and epoxy resins, and I can tell you that epoxy does not stick to it well but that VE resin is extremely hard to remove (tested across 1 year and all seasons).
@@SailingMagicCarpet As long as you follow the instructions of the manufacrurer Coppercoat works great. Do not apply it open air, temperature must be high enough. And dont interrupt. We did it with 3 people, one mixing the coat and 2 applying it. Took 8 hours for 6 thin layers. It was the best thing we ever did to our boat. Best wishes from Germany!
Hey Maya & Aladino, I’ve been a long time follower of your channel and always enjoy new episodes. I especially like the refit ones as I’ve been a lifelong DIY guy myself and am constantly doing many of the same things to my 50 year old Grampian 23 cruiser sailboat. I’ve always wished I could help you out with Patreon or in some other way. Well, maybe I can help you this way, when you need to get your engine from Van Isle to the mainland I’d like to offer to bring it over for you in my pickup truck. I’d be more than happy to take the couple days to do that for you. If that sounds good, just get back to me and we can work out the details. Not sure of your schedule but I have to go to Vancouver on Feb 21 anyway so maybe it could be a dual purpose trip. If not, no big deal, I’d be happy to do it anytime.
Thank you so much for the extremely kind offer Richard! We've already made arrangements to get the engine transported, but sincerely appreciate the offer of support. That means a lot. Happy New Year!
Have you considered a split bath ? I almost bought a (house) boat built in the 90s in Olympia that had a very small ofuro tub under a wooden hatch on one side and toilet sink and closet on the other side… the house boat was called Lilly II and may be in the Seattle area… I loved that layout and the tub ! and I regret not buying it Cheers
Great job with the Soda blast, the surface looks great ~ good job!! Black behind the primer? Can it be a base coat? I found a similar situation on a 1985/6 hull
Aladino clearly is in his element with projects, just look how exited he is! When you are off on your trip around the World you will have to tow a barge behind so that he can continue with new projects.😁😁😁
😂
In almost every marina and anchorage around the world, there will be a sailor with a boat project needing help, and willing to pay or barter for it.
There's no shortage of shit to fix while cruising... especially with an older boat. We've kept ahead of our projects enough that we can actually go sail a little bit, but a constant amount of oil changes, rebedding, corrosion, etc...

Happy New Year!!
Step by step. Wonderfull to see the boat swimming in 2024.
That interior wood work looks amazing!
The two of you are awesome and the boat is looking great go go go
The best boat tent I’ve seen is your good mate Matt at Project Duracell. The thin lumber formed into a vierendeel truss and plastic covering was smart, light and minimal waste.
Good job Aldino I like your videos I’ll tune in next week to see how it’s coming.
Hej, Godt Nytår, glæder mig til at se fortsat på jeres kæmpe arbejde

Yes in your case it’s a barrier coat. Likely VcTar epoxy
7 years ago i made a tent on a swith shrinkfoil. On a scaffold This was super solid! Wind and snow did nothing with it.

I’m new to watching your channel. Best wishes on your endeavors. Very exciting! Thank you for sharing your story and your knowledge 🎉Happy New Year
When you are done, you can use that lumber to build yourself a Tiny House by your folks house to stay in when you visit home. They can rent it as an Airbnb to make a little extra income while you sail around. Just thinking ahead!
For encapsulating your bulwarks: I have been using HDPE board as a mixing board for VE and epoxy resins, and I can tell you that epoxy does not stick to it well but that VE resin is extremely hard to remove (tested across 1 year and all seasons).
Another nice video
Well done 👍. Cheers 🥂 thank you for sharing.
Japanese saws work on the pull stroke, making them much more precise. As a Swiss guy you might enjoy that. ;)
Have you thought about Coppercoat? We had it on our boat, it worked fantastic... and is a great extra moisture barrier since it is epoxy based!
Copper coat is an option we’re looking at! We haven’t fully decided yet.
@@SailingMagicCarpet As long as you follow the instructions of the manufacrurer Coppercoat works great. Do not apply it open air, temperature must be high enough. And dont interrupt. We did it with 3 people, one mixing the coat and 2 applying it. Took 8 hours for 6 thin layers. It was the best thing we ever did to our boat. Best wishes from Germany!
Check out the Golden Globe around world race. Some had bad results that product.
All jobs to built back the boat. Must be feeling very nice.
Cheers to the new year
You guys are amazing. keep it up. 🙂
Super exciting seeing the Antifoul stripped off. Less is more.
I just wish this boat was over 40 feet. My wife and I sailed a boat about this size for three years.
How about building your boat shed out of PVC pipe, weighted with sand or soil on the bottom?
Best wishes for 2024! God bless.
Hey Maya & Aladino, I’ve been a long time follower of your channel and always enjoy new episodes. I especially like the refit ones as I’ve been a lifelong DIY guy myself and am constantly doing many of the same things to my 50 year old Grampian 23 cruiser sailboat. I’ve always wished I could help you out with Patreon or in some other way. Well, maybe I can help you this way, when you need to get your engine from Van Isle to the mainland I’d like to offer to bring it over for you in my pickup truck. I’d be more than happy to take the couple days to do that for you. If that sounds good, just get back to me and we can work out the details. Not sure of your schedule but I have to go to Vancouver on Feb 21 anyway so maybe it could be a dual purpose trip. If not, no big deal, I’d be happy to do it anytime.
Thank you so much for the extremely kind offer Richard! We've already made arrangements to get the engine transported, but sincerely appreciate the offer of support. That means a lot. Happy New Year!
Love the comment “Keep the Diny Dry” … good one
Never give up! Happy New Year!
Aladino and Maya, Hope you had a Wonderful Christmas Happy New Year!
welcome back to Canada
A teak latte cover over the toilet and a shower no sink.. maybe find a old swim platform to make it
Have you considered a split bath ? I almost bought a (house) boat built in the 90s in Olympia that had a very small ofuro tub under a wooden hatch on one side and toilet sink and closet on the other side… the house boat was called Lilly II and may be in the Seattle area… I loved that layout and the tub ! and I regret not buying it
Cheers
Great job with the Soda blast, the surface looks great ~ good job!! Black behind the primer? Can it be a base coat? I found a similar situation on a 1985/6 hull
Aladino!
