Love it when genius nerds explain stuff in a way that is relaxing to listen to and yet understandable. 👍
Nice to see you finally, partially, on the move. Mads, you have a gem there with Ava. Loving her input into the channel.
Ava's segment was great! She's putting the "Life" part in Sail Life!
Ava’s a great addition to the channel.. been watching for years now just love you guys and love the dyi stuff. You two have great chemistry ❤️
Just love how well organized and well thought everything that you present is. Hats off to you sir from one engineer to another!
Love that Ava does these historic feature, so cool to see Suhaili.
Fun fact: I was Reading Bernard Moitessiers the Long way right before I switched to YT 😅
@@markusm3761 quick, go back!
@@stelioshondrocolos1869 Not sure who Robert is? She had it perfectly right, i watch this with high quality in ear buds!
@@markusm3761 He is quite the character! The "Deep water" was a great documentary. I can't wait for the Golden Globe Race 2022
Wonderful video! That young lady was the missing part that we didn't realize was missing. As good as the videos have been, they are much better now. Hi from Louisiana USA... 😎
Cool. I'm liking the mix - boat work, city tour, etc!
It cracks me up that the content from Mads and Ava seem like completly different channels!!
Nice division of labor with Eva doing lifestyle and points of interest while Mads covers DIY. And sailing is a joint effort.
i realy like that! but they need - NEED - !!! - a gimbal! i am not sensitive to moving sickness but the part of Ava was ... challenging
But besides of that really enjoyable!

Turn EIS on...
Thanks for the great videos. Ava's tours are awesome and I'm sure any engineer that opens that control panel would breathe a sigh of relief!
Just love the attention to detail you put into each task you do.
Mads pulling a typical Mads: While pointing at a spotless, well ordered setup of cable-beauty saying: ”Please excuse the mess.” …;)
ikr? cause how many boats have raceway (covered or uncovered) in their electrical spaces?
Love Ava! She adds a lot to the videos.
OMG this is lovely, each of you have found (or stayed) to your focus. So wonderful.
Thank you for the tour of my old home town, its changed a bit in 30 years.
Phenomenal IT knowledge and boat building. Eva is a bonus knowledge base
Mads it's a good thing your a software engineer ,for an old sailor like me the only thing I really understand are mechanical switches .The rest of your gear to an 82 year old like me is called black magic. Best of luck and smooth sailing.
So much tech! How many different ways of doing thigs on so many different interfaces. Mind boggling. I'm glad their are geniuses like Mads in the world as if it were up to me we'd still be lighting torches in sconces on the wall with a flint and steel. Really enjoy Ava onboard with Mads transitioning seamlessly and adding to a thoroughly enjoyable interesting watch. Good job guys.
The fender step is genius!
I just have to say both of you are a perfect fit for each other.
Yes, love all the availableity to marine thingies...lol great episode!
You are absolutely a tech wizard!
Very entertaining. - just love Avas work 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
"downnnnn the ramp...." love it!
Welcome to the UK you guys! Enjoy winter and I hope the locals make you welcome too! 🇬🇧😀
Ava is a delight!
Love it! It would be really cool to have a tour of the boat as it is now, and then one at the end of the winter to see the difference... Thanks for all the awesome videos!
oooooh :30 seconds in the video and fiiiinaaaaalllyy Mads speaks it out loud!!!!! "turned out to be an almost complete rebuild"
Ava does such a good job as a tour guide. With the majority of the boat refurbishment being done, the channel is definitely going to shift from predominantly DIY to predominantly sailing, and Ava is going to make that transition seem so smooth.
This is not what I signed up for though haha
It doesn't matter how much work you've done on a boat... there is ALWAYS more. I think we'll be seeing quite a bit more DiY.
Lol, when I first read your reply I misread when you wrote, “the channel is going to shift.” As the channel is going to shxt. I thought wow, that started as a nice compliment to Ava that took an abrupt turn. Ha ha, I’m glad I misread it. I agree that Ava is doing a great job, and that there is plenty of things left to do for the diy crowd.
Today it was a lot of electronics.....again.
I love how Ava gives Athena just a touch of Halloweenie fun
Sorry for the thumbs down. but i really DONT like this. Its funny but not my thing.
Love Avas small adventures reminds me of Fraggle rock with the reports from outer space🙌
Loving it 👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks for the peak at the marina and the Clipper boats. I'm doing the 2023-24 Clipper race, so happy to get a preview of the area!
To get that proper cockpit night-club effect, you need to see if they make a digital disco-ball. I can see you and Ava in '70's sequin outfits, doin' the hustle. . .!!! 🤣🤣🤣
I’ve been following you for five years. These episodes just keep getting better and better. Great content, great production.
Awesome diy fun! Glad you found an amazing marinara.
16:50 Oh... The galley looks good and clean.
Loving Ava’s Area Tours.
Eva you don't have to worry about looking Right. You wake up looking right every morning.
Digital switching opens up so many flexible options! You are ahead of the pack - one day it will become the norm!
Exactly what new capability does this bring? The ability to switch on lights from the chart plotter? Give me a break. I'll bet it never happens outside of "demos". Exactly how much current does all this junk require? Is he going to buy another solar panel/wind generator to run all this gorp or just let the diesel run longer? A $30 HomeKit light switch gives the same capabilities if you really want a remote but so does two $2 light switches installed near the companionway. Even Mads said that he wasn't going to install the timer function (which could be provided by the $30 HomeKit solution) because it was horrendously expensive. It certainly doesn't add the reliability or maintainability of the boat.
@@steveburton5825 What new possibilities you ask? The ability to flush your toilet, set the mood lighting, and turn on some crazy music…all while you are up on the mast replacing a light bulb…or, while you are on the other side of the planet.
Cute couple! You two are something! Boat is looking amazing!!
This is the most interesting sailing boat channel which I look forward to each week. Its amazing to see the attention to detail , professionalism and the highly technical installation of equipment. I have been watching Athena refit videos since the beginning and I'm so pleased you are visiting the UK just a few miles from home. You are watched by so many fellow sailors who have great respect for what you have achieved. I do hope you will be able to visit a few of our lovely harbours, especially on the Isle of Wight. It would be great to meet you and see the boat in real life. It would be good to see you meet up with Cadoha to compare notes as you are now so close. If you need any help or local transport please let me know. Good luck!
Boo. Stay healthy and we'll see you next week.
Nice work Mads. Digital switching is super cool
You Guys look great and getting very close to 100K! Ava brings so much fun and humor. Cheers!
Quick tip Ava. Train yourself to look both ways before stepping into any road. It's easier than trying to remember and in many countries the side they drive on may be best described as 'random'.
Thank you Ava for the great tour. Happy Halloween to you both. 👻🎃👽
Waw…..with all these electronics on board, this boat is ready to fly to the moon 🚀
Mads, Athena looks fantastic, it was clear long ago she would, but the finishing touched of living aboard have pushed her to new heights.
Good to see the audience has grown , us old seadogs who joined when living aboard Obelix was a dream can just admire the progress ..
You can take the man out of IT but you can't take the IT out of the man, haha! My head hurts!! Thank goodness for Ava's very enjoyable tour around the locale, 😃
After all these years, I can’t believe you are actually out there cruising full time. It’s been great watching your progress over the last five years.
I’m liking Ava’s tours. Hope to see lots more. Regarding the boat, well, it is the most tricked out boat that I’ve ever seen. It will take mad ( or Mad’s) skills to keep everything working. ;-)
That's for sure.
Nice to see Suhaili in good nick. I met her years ago in Falmouth then while being restored up the Hamble and then at a Southampton boat show after her restoration. As a child I member the who-ha of K-J returning to Falmouth.
I worked in the town hall in Gosport High Street back in the 80's (my first programming job). I would get the train to Portsmouth harbour everyday and then use the ferry to get over to Gosport. An interesting voyage twice a day. Good times.
Mads, I hope you understand what you’re getting yourself into. Us Americans will celebrate almost anything! Happy early Halloween!
I met Sir Robin several times in Den Helder during various Clipper Race Round the World stopovers, where I worked as a liaison officer. A very interesting person with a lot of knowledge of personal challenges and human nature. A wonderful experience. In addition to the extraordinary personnel in charge of the race, 100% professionals, friendly in the treatment and very expert in the work they do.
I can’t believe you still have room behind the panel for more gadget modules! Ha ha ha as usual, great video 👍
I'm glad you like all of the electronics. I'd hate it the first time something went wrong ...
The finish on the doors and drawers looks beautiful. I hadn't noticed before.
Wow Ava, you are sliding into your new role as presenter brilliantly🤓
I'm truly happy for you both. Seeing all the work finally paying off pleases my soul and puts me in a good mood. Thank you.
Wow, some great features in that switch gear!! X
Welcome to my home town I hope you have a great stay
Nice job on halloweening up the boat! another great video, thanks guys! stay warm
You will have to cover the tides for that area, they are quite unique in regards to many other locations. I played Football (American Soccer for a Summer in Portmouth...)
Looks great. Oh the memories...
So freaking cute you two. These videos just make me so happy! Can't wait for more
Node Red could be a great addition to the Digital Switching System - it gives you access to the glorious world of IoT and all the protocols and functions you could imagine.
Super nice, and very spiffy mads, Athena will have a better nav station than most Navies..👍👍💛💚
Ah.. . memories, if you walked a few yards further you'd pass my old flat, I don't know if they are open due to you know what, but I recomend you visit the Submarine museum and of course the dockyard with Victory and the Mary Rose.
Awesome to learn more about the Czone stuff. As an electrician I installed and wired a number of Lutron lighting relay panels with all sorts of low-voltage wired and wireless switching and stuff. It is amazing what can be done with that hardware.
We usually turn off our NMEA-2K network when not moving to save power. But we are an ultra low-power super-efficient boat where using a couple of amps to run instruments and sensors we arent using and don't need is hurting our battery run times
250w of solar and 200w of wind are all we have -no generator running on dinosaur squeezings and we are rarely plugged-in or at a marina if we can help it.
It seems it is pretty windy in jollie olde Englande. It's blowing like stink in our anchorage in the Chesapeake tonight too.
I hope you guys get everything done that needs to be finished so you can cross the Atlantic next season and start living the life as gypsy cruisers not tied to marinas and boatyards all of the time. When you get there all the work will have been worth it.
It's good to see you're still feeding your inner nerd as you get settled in. You may find Gypsy Moth IV (1966 Sir Francis Chichester) in the Port Solent marina. Was moored close to Wetherspoons 'the 'Sir Alec Rose' (Good Traditional English breakfast & All day coffee cup & free wifi...but you will get the same grub in any 'Spoons'.)
Great video. Loved the tour by Ava!
geez, Mads, I am sure you look at the electrical complexity as a challenge, but way beyond my skill set. Loved Ava's diabolical Haooloween laugh.
As a home automation and computer nerd I really like these unnecessary nerdie episodes! :)
Happy early Halloween Ava and Mads! Glad you made it safe to the UK and are getting things done. Thank you Ava for the tour. Hope you have them every chance you can. Take care, stay well and don't forget your umbrella.
good fun folks! that digi stuff can automate so much now. with off the shelf parts even. - it's crazy.....
As always, an excellent video! Thanks Guys!
I'm not sure but I think I like watching Ava the best.
Good video,I was doubtful about what Ava would contribute but this was good.
9K more and Mads and Ava get their Silver YT Play Button. COME ON!!!! They deserve it!!! Nice stuff here you two!! I'm shocked that Mads didn't claim they entered yet another new country. LOL
I’m absolutely sure Mads has already addressed this potential issue, but seeing all that electronic equipment can’t help but make me think… one bolt of lightning could fry every bit of it.
Yup see above lol angy pixies having fun
You two look perfect together beautiful couple beautiful boat great job bro
With all those electronics id be worried about a lightning 🌩️ strike!
Hello Mads and Ava, welcome to Gosport!!,my home town, Both my Girlfriend and i have followed your channel since the beginning aboard our Sigma 41 where we lived in Haslar Marina last Winter, currently moored on a swing mooring just up from Premier.
Just wanted to firstly welcome you to Gosport and secondly offer you any assistance you may need whilst here in the UK.Dont hesitste to get in touch!.All the best Roger and Veronica.
With so much reliance on electronics, in a salt sea environment, it's going to be interesting to see how long they last.
I am thrilled to watch your series. I have been refitting a large aluminum cutter for the past three years including replacing the entire electrical system moving all to 24V. I also chose CZone and quite a few of your other choices. Different BMS. Would be fun to share tips and advice with like minded people.
One little key-fob, Two little key-fobs, Three
How many key-fobs does it take to run a sailboat?
Someday when Mads and Ava upgrade to a bigger boat and the new owner of Athena asks about an owner's manual
Mads will plunk down a 3000 page tome and say "Right here!"
Agreed ! There's less fancy stuff on Sven Yrvind's boats but they are oceanproof anyway ;-)
I love this channel! Especially the DIY-part! Many channels excuse themselves and assume that viewers dont like the DIY-part. You have gotten it all right in that sense. Thank you for the episode and im looking forward to an awesome DIY-winter with the both of you. Cheers
I wonder if Tom Cunliffe is around that area. Sail Life interview with Tom would be awesomesauce.
I throughly enjoy this channel and Ava and really brightened up it all, thanks for sharing.
Great to see you guys settling in to your UK life, another great video, I didn't understand any of it but still enjoyed it 😂, see yooooo!
I love your videos. I have been watching from the beginning.
Woot, Another great Sunday afternoon with you two.
Light switch near companionway is a great idea. We enter boat down 3 steps, get torch off nav desk to see the switch panel ( or if we haven't been on board for a while switch on battery first) then over to the galley to turn on the nearest light. Seriously want to upgrade the electric stuff ( nothing fancy like yours) and get plugs installed instead of extension cables.
The Ava segments have been a great touch.
Ava have you noticed in the path (08:56) leading to Haslar, there are names in the run of stones. I believe when this promenade was built, you could sponsor a stone.
Happy Halloween ! YOUR SO CLOSE NOW, MAYBE WE CAN CELEBRATE 100,000 SUBS NEXT WEEK. So very well deserved. CHEERS AND FAIR WINDS Steve h.
Nice, I liked the trip around Gosport. Many years ago I used to frequent, all the places you pointed out 😊.
The naval yard would make a good day, hms victory, warrior, mary rose museum are quite interesting.
Interesting how much electronics one can stuff inside a sailboat. But more important (and interesting) before an Atlantic crossing it would be to see optimizing sails and rig. I (for example) would install a nice big gennaker setup and try this out on the water before winter comes - instead staying in the harbour and installing any light switches or so.
Sir Robin is retired and spends most of his time in France. However, his son Paul is in the marine industry and knows just about everyone in the industry. He is a good friend of ours. If you need a little help or direction, we can can put you in touch. If your looking at canvas, soft coverings, zips, thread, foam, plywood, and specialist interior furnishings, etc. Then; HAWKE HOUSE LIMITED are just down the road from you. They have a website. They too are old friends that featured in one of our videos a while ago. If you contact them say hi from us! Sail Safe Guys, Ant, Cid & the pooch crew.
