I really don't want this guy to go sailing. Please, find him another rotten boat. Sorry, I'm selfish. Best channel ever.
The quickest 20 minutes ever. Just loving it though.
...that's what she... you know what, nope, never mind...
I laugh every time you say: 4 years into a "somewhat extensive" refit. You are too humble my friend!
Truly! That's a very extensive refit if not rebuild! All improvements! Warrior 38 makes great platform.
@@carlamerritt490 Well after watching Mads for 4 years, i would run away screaming if someone tried to give away a warrior 38.😆
Understatement of the century 😊
Every time I her that, I ask myself.. What's missing for it to become "an extensive refit" in Mads' vocabulary..
I think we are going to have to replace "Ship of Theseus" with "Boat of Mads."
You have always been a highly qualified tech guy but now you are officially a highly skilled cabinet maker. Though what you make cabinet wise is not something you would install in a multi million dollar home’s kitchen, your understanding of the process is so complete that if you wanted to make that a full time career choice people would pay you to build elegant cabinets.
The videos wouldn't be complete without some sanding. Another great video.
I liked your idea of using hot glue for a short term bond, and epoxy for the long term bond. Very clever.
People poopoo hot glue like its only for grandmas but its great for initial bonding while a slower stronger bond sets. Also you can buy specialty glue sticks in addition to regular glue sticks!
Happy Birthday my friend, our birthdays are not to far apart, mine is Jan 15th.
Have fun and love that wonderful lady of yours, as I said, she's a keeper.
Happy Birthday! May your 40th year be auspicious to match your awesome progress to date. I have greatly enjoyed your projects, work ethic, video skills, technical prowess, emphasis on living life, care for your dog Hercule, you got the idea, etc. Save all that for my first comment in years from a life long dry sailer at 77. Again HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Have a happy birthday next week Mads. Don't forget to film all that glorious sanding your parents do.
Dude your way better with this stuff than most of these other boat channels that just botch crap together.
Excellent channel. I have enjoyed your videos very much and appreciate the detail you include. Something came to mind when watching today, I don't believe I have seen how you plan to vent the dryer. I know dryers will add a lot of moisture to the interior unless you vent them to the outside, not to mention lint. Congratulations on your 40th. birthday and best of luck to you and Eva on your upcoming adventures. Stay safe my friend.
Hi , have a happy big 40 from the UK . The work is coming along great . Glad to see all the doo hickies and coming on line and working as required ,the mast camera is a great idea ,I can see for miles for incoming wild life .Thanks for another fine video Mads , take care stay safe and enjoy your birthday .
All those electronic doohickies look awesome!
Athena is really starting to come together now. I can't wait for the sailing series. I can just hear the intro "We are six months into a somewhat extensive cruise..." lol!
Happy birthday for next week!
Amazing. Tick tick tick tick. So many milestones. Well done Mads. I can't wait to see the mast camera looking out over an exotic anchorage.
These videos are coming earlier and earlier in the day. Not a complaint! ;-)
During the winter the days get longer so these videos are coming “relatively” early.
🤡
Welcome to the just turned 40 club.
Boat is coming along great!!
Best wishes for your upcoming birthday Mads.
Brilliant idea from your friend about adjusting the dryer location - it makes a really useful space for use and makes that passageway less like a tunnel.
I am both very pleased for you and impressed with the way all the Garmin stuff links together and works straightaway.
Tillykke med fødselsdagen her fra Holland. Ked af at du må fejre den uden din kæreste. Et par måneder mere og så ses i igen. I mellemtiden ville jeg takke dig for alle dine fantastiske film som er meget inspirerende og både på vores havn og i Contessa fora blevet legendariske! Tusind tak og endnu engang tillykke!!! 🇩🇰🍾⛵️
I have only been watching a month and did a binge to catch up. Your videos are AWESOME and provide so much valuable information for all sailors. Keep on keeping on.
Amazing what you get done and have gotten done!!👍🏴... I remember when I was forty😭😭😭
Feels like twenty minutes ago. .60 this year👍
I’ve said it before, but it bears repeating ... you are a great inspiration to those of us contemplating or involved in the restoration of a boat!
Your hints and tricks are informative.
Your planning and execution is almost always spot on.
And your great personality and videography wraps it all up beautifully!
Keep up the outstanding effort, Mads! We’re all looking forward to seeing this through to completion!
I turned 40 just the other day . . . wait . . . that was almost 15 years ago.
dammit
Happy upcoming Birthday
I remember 40 like it was only 36 years ago. lol Fun times back then working on boats and cars.
Nice work finding the faulty connection. Great view from the mast camera.
Thanks for sharing.
You are in sprint mode now, Mads 🤓. Keep up the good work and as always, thank you for sharing. Happy Birthday, remember life begins at fourth.
das Glück des "Tüchtigen", freu mich daß das alles so gut klappt - keep doing . . . Greatings from Cologne
As a super mega tech nerd geek formerly a radar tech in the navy, I appreciated when the radar fired up.
Great to see Athena coming to life - I think I was as pleased as you to see the masthead camera firing up! Oh and Happy Birthday for next week from the UK!!
All them fancy electromathingy gadgets making my string telltales and hand hearing compass seem inadequate.
Might have to invest in a chart plotter and some dohicky sounder what's it !
Glad you squeezed in some " Oh glorious sanding" it brought back memories!
She is shaping up nicely !!!
Such good progress. If you had 2 cameras on the top of the mast looking down on each side of the boat you would have almost a 360 deg view of everything.
That mast mounted camera will be awesome for dodging coral heads in the tropics someday!
Happy birthday. Thanks for making the time to share your adventures. It is something I look forward to each week. Keep giving your best. Know your/you're love.
Love the camera set up at least you can see if anything goes wrong up there
Great videos every week. But dont forget to add the ground on the chart plotter!
Great work I would recommend getting some short like flower pot chain to hold the baby station door up when it is open.
Great progress and a real result not having to join battle with adhesive residue in the forepeak.😀👍⛵️
I am getting already sad, soon you will have completed all the project and will be off to sail the world and I cannot see you tinkering so expertly. This is a great refit !
Yes, I yet again enjoyed the video and left another like. I would love to know the total cost of Athena when she is more or less finished (no boat is ever totally finished) She is now one hell of a vessel, the only one like it in the world - priceless. See youuu.
For the exposed wall above the washing machine: if you have additional mahogany slats it would look nice and tie the whole space together aesthetically to match the room’s walls; from the door to the V-berth forward is “your suite” and matched walls would be an elegant touch.
Happy upcoming 40th. Oh to be that young again. Great progress yet again.
Great progress all the tec dohickies will be amazing when you start sailing just remember to maintain wind instruments at the top of the mast 👍
2:36 That's the first time you have ever got lucky with Athena, Mads! :-)
On your dryer,,, vent to the outside for summer use and use a exhaust fitting to direct dryer air right into the v berth. In cold weather adding humidity to the inside air makes heating more effective.
Man you really brighten my 10pm cereal
It took us 3 months to just load up for cruising and cast off the lines. That was after 2 winters of full-time refittting on the hard. Moving from a smaller boat into a bigger one should hopefully make that transition easier & faster for you guys.
Remember that everything takes literally at least 10x longer to do when you are living on a boat and that is worse yet for a couple than a single person. Once moved-in together nothing big will ever get done unless it is an emergency fix and there will never be time or space to do it "right" ever again unless you move out of the boat to do it.
I really hope you are not rushing the living aboard and your start of cruising. Renting a little appartment and totally finishing all the last-minute projects is an idea you should at least consider.
Not finishing the sole/flooring before you move aboard means it will never get finished in your lifetimes. Pam and Andy Wall moved aboard Kandarik without finishing the sole and it was still unfinished 30 years later. Best intentions and everything...
I’m really enjoying seeing how all of your hard work is coming together. Great job.
Closer and closer to finishing another top quality videos
Not bad I have been watching you for years and I must say for a while I stopped just to skip ahead and I was was surprised to see how far you have come, I left off when you were completing the stove compartment, I have a 1997 Hunter 310, she sails okay, I been a sailor 2016 till now, I dont know if I have the courage to refit with the detail as you are displaying, but you are fun to watch. outstanding job so far.
I light up inside when your videos drop. Billy...Tindal, N.T 👍👍
The Garmin electronics looks awesome. Awaiting my new Garmin chartplotter, radar, and auto pilot. Your installation is giving me the confidence in the decision to go with Garmin. Enjoy all your vids. Keep them coming!
Please double check the fuses. Almost looks like this one is not completely pushed in. A little OCD kicking in here. Cool project and very clear video!
Great idea with the mast camera
Garmin is a great company!! The HQ is in Olathe, Kansas, which is very near to me. I have watched that company grow over the years.
Luv the nav station, especially the fuse holder. My 1st time seeing those. Happy 40th coming up 👍🏻
Great result! Camera(s) will be invaluable. The IR will glare back in foggy and rainy weather, hopefully it's switchable. A LED flood light lower down on the mast will help no end. I can't remember what you've already fitted but illuminating the deck is also a priceless option when you're fixing things outside at night. Athena is beginning to look like a real upmarket yacht! Well done!
You may need the camera on the pulpit and extra IR lighting in the mast if you come to the north westcoast in USA. It is a good way to see drift timber at night, or lost deck cargo and floats for nets and cages (there is a lot of crabbing there).
You may also need it on the east coast of Great Britain.
During Covid19 times...your videos are a great stable substance in our lives. THANKS!
I think I want to live in Denmark-boating year round. As always, a very “spiffy” video. You do really good work although I found the drawer construction a bit of overkill. I recognize, though, that you needed structural strength for the bulkhead that people might lean on or be thrown against. As always, very entertaining.
Mads, love your videos. All them are awesome, wish they were longer. It is very interesting t9 see how you rebuild Athina
I like how some things have you very structured and organized while other things for you are just whatever. You know, I learn something new every time I watch your videos. Now only if I can apply these lessons to my life as gracefully as you have.
Det er så sjovt at se nogen göre, hvad han elsker.
Thank you for trimming the treads off of the forward hatch screws! There’s no Kevlar in that wool hat of yours. Boat is looking awesome!
I love Doohickey ‘s. Congratulations on the electronics.
I think the camera alignment is the right way round for passage-making through reefs because you need to look down and ahead.
An amazing learning curve. You are doing a great job on your sailboat!
Boat is looking good,its been awhile since I watched cause my mom passed away back in October of last year but im all caught up now.
Thank you again for so faithfully taking us along with you on your refit journey. I always love your hardware/wiring videos. Such an inspiration! Whenever I look at the sad mess that is my distribution panel, I encourage myself that I can make it so so much better.
Thanks for another great video - I am installing a new Garmin chart plotter in the spring and the tutorial was helpful - and Happy 40th.
Looking forward for that digital switching thing! 😛
A mirror cabinet door infront of your dryer would potentially replace the vanity table you removed and give you a sense of more space....only an idea 😀
I would vote for open cabinets and hanging locker. Save weight, make it less cramp feeling, and allow for anything hanging to air out. I vote put the mirror on the v berth door.
Awesome! Hope you have a great 40th. Mine coming up in March. Will keep watching to see if you suddenly spontaneously combust after turning 40 😬
Feeling your joy on the camera splice :-)
Now you need to get the chart plotter into radar overlay mode. I don't know if the plotter needs a separate fast heading sensor to do that, but it will be in the manual. I did need one for my Simrad plotter, but it just plugged into the NMEA 2000 backbone.
Love your videos. Look forward to them each week.
Been watching you since the beginning. Wish you well !
I am interested in your hanging closet in between your storage and slide out drawers. Have you thought about having your hanging rods swing out and into boat so you can get total access to storage area? The swing out rods if you have not already thought of it or is in the works should be very easy and give good access. Guess you got my interest going on this v berth fitting. Outstanding project. Cheers and Happy birthday!!
I like your style.
That nav hub wind thrown win throne electro helm network nest radar readout optic locker mast r peace is fantastic.
-✌🏼
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! cheers to you and shes looking good there buddy keep up the great work your inspiring cruisers all around the world ,
Making good progress. I especially like the instruments installation and networking. I am about to purchase all new instruments and transducers including a new MFD and radar for my Catalina 30. I'll install it next spring. Its winter here in Michigan USA. I'm going with all Raymarine and NMEA 2000 and Seatalk ng.
Well done Mads - yet another very interesting show. ATB - Phil
Happy birthday. Keep up the great "somewhat extensive" refit. Just terrific
Like-Petition for Mads to grow the beard back!!
Happy birthday, thank you for your videos, ill live vicariously through you since i am not sure when I will be able to get my own vessel, someday.
Excellent video Mads, I'm so happy all of the electronics in your mast work, that has to be a huge relief to you. Happy birthday!
I shared your joy with the masthead camera! If you ever sail the tropics, that camera will be ideal for navigation coral!
Recommend portrait or landscape orientation?
@@murph914 I think Mad's portrait orientation is near ideal!
The rule of thumb of experienced sailors I've been with, is plan to be at anchor in unfamiliar harbors two hours before sunset or don't go. If you consider yourself familiar enough with the harbor to go at night, then an IR camera is a nice addition if you have time to look at it. But I think you will use it more to spy on your neighbors at night. Ha ha.
Great video as always Mads. And Happy Birthweek!
24 min. after posting; 655 Likes, 25 Comments and 4,369 views. Not bad, not bad at all. Great job on the electronic. It looks WAY kewl.
Happy birthday 🎂 great video and really enjoying the progress your making. Was cool to see the footage from top of mast. 😀
Since you are building the lockers, perhaps you should consider ventilation to help prevent humidity/mold. Cheers.
Thank you, Happy birthday young man....
Another fantastic video. Good to see progress on the electronics.
Think you are doing a brilliant job. Really enjoy looking at your videos.
Love the latest video. Your stuff gets better and better; very entertaining, great fun to watch.
Happy Birthday Mads - hope you get a break from the refit to enjoy it
Very much looking forward to seeing you splash! Great content, as always.
Exciting progress! Tillykke med fødselsdagen...
Happy birthday Mads. I remember back when I thought 40 was old. Now I would love to be 40.
Happy birthday Madds !!! You’re still a young man. I wish I was 40 again. I’m 53 years old in February. 🇺🇸👍
Happy 40th 👍 Your electronics choices are great I'm sure you will find the camera very useful. My kinda thinking I also cant wait to see the engine sensors an do hickeys you add over time Your list is getting smaller every day keep up the great work.
Advena is really starting to come together....very exciting 😀
