It is a real pleasure to watch a true craftsman applying is trade. The care that Aladino shows in the removal of the teak is to me simply amazing, each side in one piece. Hoping to be able to watch more of this amazing man at his best.
Weo, the headline got me…. Wow one piece….. so now looking how that went … much aloha from a mother german in Hawaii loving your magic caprets adventures….
Wow. That really is amazing that you were able to get that off in 1 (or 2 😀) Pieces! My hat is off to you. And yes... silicone is not your friend! It is an even bigger enemy to the next owner!!!
Hi from a swiss sailor guy in Chile.
You could epoxy/fiberglass the deck ang glue back in place the teak deck puzzle :=)
Please, please keep that teak and replace it back on the deck. I'm sure the resale value will be well worth your effort. I removes mine on my first sail boat and forever regretted it. Your work is amazing.
I agree! Glue it back on, Aladino! It’s in such good shape! Asthetically pleasing & original looking! But never b a problem again! Just a little cleaning & maintenance! Not that U really need more of that! Both boats r awesome! 👍
My number one show stopper when buying both my boats. No teak deck! A Najad 44 at $20. Not with a teak deck. I would have to remove it. Nothing makes your boat more hot and leaky than a teak deck. Lucky the previous owners removed our teak deck and had the deck glassed.
Although a teak deck looks "the part" . When i bought my "zeeschouw" i would have walked away if she had a teak deck . My last boat did have a teak deck , without a plywood or steel deck under it . All the years i have had that boat i was battling leaks . The boat i have now has a steel deck and man can they rust underneath that teak . In your case , i would fill the holes in the under deck an stick it back on . Rusting is not a problem with polyester .
@@philgray1023As beautiful as teak decking is and great for non-skid, it can get extremely hot. When the time comes, probably soon, I will remove it and glass over the substrate and apply a non-skid over the paint.
@@randyhilton6629 I was racing on a boat this week that had teak toe rails. They were grey, weathered and had green algae growing on the inside. This on a boat that is used 1 to 3 days a week and gets washed once a week in a hot climate. We have a small amount on our sugar scoop and cockpit seats. All maintained by my wife. She is not a fan and hates the job every 6 months. It takes me two weeks to persuade her to get onto it. Having complete covers helps keep it looking ok.
I removed all the teak from my 44' boat and it DID NOT come off in one piece! (But mine was put on entirely differently!) Good job, both of you!
What incredible skill. It is a pleasure to watch the pride you take in your work.
I wouldn't say you were crazy, just courageous with the bravery of youth. Aladino teaches good solid woodworking skills. I wanted to thank him for the pointers on mixing the epoxy with stain and demonstrating his brushing it on.
I feel like you are now at that stage where the whole process of making great videos and sharing your lives has become comfortable in a good way. You seem so free in your decision making not bound so much by what may be expected of you. Your confidence to share why being in a ‘good place’ in life means hard work and routine can still be satisfying and uplifting when others may perceive it to be much less is refreshing. I say take your time and continue to make videos and life decisions from your hearts and I like many others will follow you for many years to come!
Every episode is a pleasure to watch as you go about the restoration work and removing the deck complete must have been so rewarding, true craftsman and editor supreme at work. Thank you .
Just excellent craftsmanship! Its a pleasure to watch this! You guys rock!
Great job! It is really cool that you are preserving two beautiful boats for years to come. Both boats are works of art. Keep up the awesome work and videos.
...NOT crazy - the future owners of MC1 are gonna love you for it :-)
Fantastic! Aladino should buy a lottery ticket. He would win; that's for sure.
Pulling off that teak in one piece looked soooo satisfying!
We have the same project down our road. You did an amazing job getting that off in a couple parts. After removing the bungs and screws on one of our hatch it seems our deck is really bedded down well and I don't think we will be able to do the same. That said after seeing this I think we will wait to replace bungs until we are ready for a larger project including some record work. Cheers. Thanks for the video.
Oh please glue the teak back down after you seal the deck. It adds so much beauty to the boat. Amazing how well it came off.
You guys do an awesome job.
Awww...done too soon..seems like the video just started...can't wait till next week!!!! Thank you for your time!
When I watch and listen to You guys, I am reminded of what an old sailor told me +40 years ago: "You got to view the renovation/preparations of your boat as a part of the dream, not as something You do before You start to live your dream". I am not sure I understood what he meant back then, but now I do....and he was so right and that goes for a lot of things we do in life, no matter if it is a boat, a house, a car, a relationship or whatever...and so are You guys when You understand and implement the noble art of living the good life while doing the renovations/preparations. Eating good food, enjoying life together and watching the sun go down/rise. I really like your attitude and the way You are looking at things. It is so naturally logic, smart/smooth and with great acceptance/knowledge of the sacrifices included. So many people are rushing thru these things, not You...you are doing quality work during quality time. Best of luck! :)
very well said!
@@carlobottigelli8955 Thanks Carlo!
“How does it feel…..” Response demonstrates the difference between you two! 😉
Aladino is magic with Magic Carpet :)
Yes you’re CRAZY! Crazy awesome, crazy determined, crazy visionaries and we love that! Keep being CrAzY!!!! ♥️✌🏼⛵️
Wow!!
Astonishing that you were able to remove it in 2 pieces! It really proves how flawed the original installation was.
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
What a break you could even put it right back on love your vids thank you always
You really shouldn't worry about whether you are crazy or not, because you absolutely are ... all of the best people I know are more than a bit crazy ... so, you're in good company.
Keep being you.
I’m another vote for putting the wood deck back after insuring the water issue is resolved. Great work you two.
You guys are amazing. I was a patron a few years ago and really love watching your videos every Friday. Thank you.
You guys are simply amazing, looking forward to seeing you actually sailing. We anchored in the Bahamas, watching your progress. Keep it up!
I need you guys. Really my boat would be like a piece of cake for you guys.
You are both so amazing, the team effort is top notch. Incredible that the deck came off in one piece 👍👏👏👏👏⛵️⛵️⛵️💕
Watching you guys work on these beautiful boats really helps pass the time while I wait for the ice to melt, and get back to working on mine! Lovely work, as always - your woodwork is masterful.
👍👌👏😁😁😁 The boat near Magic Carpet 1 is named "Rüpel".(Lout). I absolutely love that!
It was amazing to see the teak decking lift out in one piece. The varnishing was a great tutorial. Many thanks Mike
In a world of instant gratification, and one size fits all, it’s so rewarding to see you work so hard to realize your dreams and create something that is uniquely yours
Since you brought it up, you guys being crazy with boat work is just one more reason I watch. ;)
the excellent brush for application a resine epoxy , transport very material and no marks is brush of foam , good winds :)
Well done. Amazing effort. I always thought that it would just come off in splinters and go in the bin but you have every chance of reusing the complete deck. I look back at the pictures of Magic Carpet lying in the corner of the boatyard after the accident and I am amazed. Well done you two.
You are just a very able magicians ... Removing half of a teak deck all in one piece ... Just wonderful! Very well done! Grazie! Ciao
Great work as always!
Good job guys !!!👍👏💪 You are back in my "Mooie Fryslan "
Well done as always!!! Watching your channel has unexpectedly made my own work on projects much much better!!! Thanks so much for sharing your incredible workman/womanship!!!😊🙏🏼
I'm really excited to see how this goes. Will be lovely if you can reuse the teak deck again. Such a lovely looking boat.
With this extra-ordinary teakdeck removal, you set a new record..... Congrats to both of you: it's admirable how you work together toward astonishing results! Concerning the eventual teak re-laying, pls also consider that MC1 is not only a std (beautiful) Vindo 32, but it will be YOUR special "home"boat for 2 more yrs, when sailing her without the teak deck it won't be the same: some of her soul and of your special tender relationship with her will be missing. I built my own boat, so I know what it means.... Ciao, in culo alla balena!
😝mai sentita questa espressione😂
@@SailingMagicCarpet among Italian sailors it is the slang for "good luck"
Effort!! I really hope you can keep the teak deck. Along with the mahogany, the teak deck compliments the beautiful lines of that boat. 💪. Thanks for another great episode.
I am very impress with your work.
Wow that was cool the way the teak came off. Its what everyone dreams of, but never achieve. Top job. Cheers
the video is very good brother you two are perfect for restoring the ship so I just salute you guys
That was satisfying to watch!
Etwas durchgeknallt ist ganz nah am wundervoll!!!
Stay as you are!
Fantastic work guys!
My heart was in my mouth!
congratulations man, excellent work and a lot of patience lol
You Two are a amazing Couple!
Welcome back in the Netherlands
That was a fast 17 and a half minutes. I wanted more. But that's the goal isn't it? Great job.
Well, I was really hoping your could just glue the old deck down once you epoxied all the screw holes, but now that I've seen how beautifully the deck came off, I'm really, REALLY hoping you can just glue the old deck back down. It's clearly got a lot of life left in it and hopefully the fears over cost were somewhat alleviated once you saw how little of the teak might need to be replaced.
Ditto! Being realistic with your time and money and focusing on your ultimate goal is a worthy endevor.
Holy Cow! That was amazing to get that deck off the way you did.
Definitely re-install the teak decks if possible. Clean the back off and glue it back down. That really makes that boat very eye appealing
I have been watching the rebuild of Yaba and the difference in techniques between your methods are amazing.
This is a rebuild. Yaba is a shipyard money grab...
Wow! That teak must be in amazing shape too!
Im Wahnsinn liegt das wahre Genie…🤪👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Great job guys. Painstaking work, as usual. Totally surprised the teak came off in one piece. I paused your video at the point where only the starboard side had teak and the port side was white gelcote. Imagining the white to be pristine non-slip couldn't compare with the teak on the other side, even with the holes where you took out the plugs. I know there's a heap of reasons why it would be easier initially and long term not to renovate and replace the teak but I believe she wouldn't be the class of boat without it. I've seen how resourceful Aladino can be, I'm sure he can figure a way to deal with potential water problems. Over the last few months I've watched you both make logical decisions on renovations and changes to the Cape George. Now, yey or nay to the teak, I think is probably one of the most difficult you've faced.
What a GREAT job.
That was the most asmr like removal of teak in HISTORY.
How does it feel....... :"Solid"
Aladino you are amazing as always! I especially loved how you carefully cut only the outer edges so each half would come up in one piece! Genius! We love your videos as always! I was so happy to see that my favorite channel finally posted their video (you guys!) So yeah! It doesn't look bad at all under that teak. From where we are all sitting it doesn't look as tho there will be any damage but I am curious if any even little bits managed to sneak into an area or 2 so looking forward to your next video to find out ;)
As slowly as possible indeed 😆
The new owner/s must be happy that this is ridiculously well refitted!
Thanks for sharing
"How does it feel?''
"Solid"
''I mean emotionally"
"Oh"
🤣 men, gotta love em
Fascinating! Thank you so much. I do hope you can save the teak deck and replace it. Interested to see you using epoxy, instead of varnish. I had grown up with International Yacht Varnish, many coats of it, so I would be interested to how much more durable the epoxy coating is. Thanks for the super videos!
WOW!!! Awesome job.
At 3:30 I think we have the recipe for the whole (crazy) project with the two boats: Cheering, looking back with pride, laughter. What a team!
I've never seen anyone do that before. Without discounting all those screws that had to come out, to lift the whole teak deck in one piece is the work of a magician. Abracadabra, or something like that.
Yeah, this is a special moment for sure.
Removing that deck in one piece is like a 1 to ten gamble, well done what an achievement!!
Secretly I am hoping you will seal the deck and glue back this beautiful teak.
Cheers,
a
Came across an abandoned boat in a back channel in Louisiana which carried a beautiful teak deck, why was it dumped only those that did the need know, it took me a week, but I was able to remove and save better than 90% of the teak which then was given to my brother for his Victoria 18 restoration. Greg passed in October, but the Victoria was completed and remains a beautiful restoration. And yes, the teak was fitted and adhered with the correct adhesive no screws in the cabin & the deck. Nice watching Aladino's craftsmanship in action.
Glad you got the chance to work with Smith's CEPS. I had suggested it to you when you were debating about the beam repairs on MC II, before you realized the extent of the damage. This is a better application. It's designed to stabilize wood compromised by rot. Applying it to sound wood is brilliant and will give the new owners decades of good service. Another great video.
Thx Wayne:)
I've posted this episode on Trawler Forum because of your comments on the use of CPES and the way you beautifully removed the deck.
Wow, such a job!
Congrats that that went so pleasant with out too much dramas
You guys are not crazy for doing 2 refits at the same time. A boat is a piece of your life these are 2 totally separate pieces that just happened at the same time. I enjoying them both and embracing them both is the right thing. Good job.
Completely awesome.
Neat to see it come off like that.
Love your videos 👍😊♥️
Great Job, congrats... i have to do. the same next. But 25 mm teak!
Thank you for another entertaining video.
I think the teak deck is still beautiful and still has enough life to glue back down (once the deck is sealed and prep'ed), replace the bungs, sand and oil it. I also think it will add value to Magic Carpet I and will not only help with a fast and profitable resale, but will be aesthetically pleasing and satisfying knowing it was a job well done. We all hope the best of luck with it.
What is the consensus on oiling teak decks? I am hearing opposing opinions on the matter.
@@Davidcallard I don't think there is a consensus. As far as I know there are no downsides to oiling a teak deck, but it does require regular reapplication every few months to keep it looking nice. Many people choose to let their teak grey out because they either like the look or have better things to spend their time on.
How about Velcro….sort of industrial Velcro…does that exist? Great work you guys!
GOOD JOB! You have shown what slow methodical work and patience can produce.
Your mileage may vary but personally I don't think you have a choice, that beautiful teak just begs to go back onto the boat.
thank you
Another wonderful episode. I was almost sad to hear Aladino pronounce mahogany like most other English speakers. But removing the teak deck like that proves he's still unique!
Lot of work but made by you it looks easy😉
Please include more of your wonderful music.
I really hope that you can re-lay that teak. It has the lovely patina of age which is perfect for the rest of Magic Carpet. Good luck 👍.
Non-skid the deck, but keep the teak deck somewhere in storage so that any new owner can have the choice to put it on or leave it off.
great stuff
Thank you so much for sharing, I just purchased a Cabo Rico 38 with teak decks that I either need to re calk or remove and install non skid now I’m thinking remove and glue back down. Looking forward to see how you make out with magic carpets teak decks or no teak decks.
While there may be some who get frustrated by the lack of sailing content, I view the maintenance and refitting processes as being a more wholistic view of ownership. The adage of owning a boat meaning repairs being done in exotic places couldn't be more true. And, frankly, I find watching the work possibly to be more enjoyable than the sailing itself.
First reaction: You guys got the teak deck off in a single piece? Amazing!!
Upon reflection: Of COURSE you guys got the deck off in a single piece! 🙂
What a wonderful work! It has been nice to see, how the teak deck has come loose from the laminate. I think, that those deck is one surface (8 mm thick?) in which the board structure was milled in. Thanks!
Eine wirklich super gemachte Arbeit! Es war schön anzusehen, wie sich das Teak-Deck vom darunter befindlichen Laminat löste. Ich denke, dass das Deck ein ca. 8 mm dickes Teak-Schälfurnier ist, in das die Brett-Struktur eingefräst wurde. Danke!
I'd sure like to see a reply from you on this.
Awesome ! 👍👏👏
