I could watch your videos for hours. Such a shame you don’t have a camera crew, sound crew, and editing team along with you. I’m guessing putting these videos together really eats in to the time you have available. Thank you for pausing your hard work long enough to put out these weekly updates. Absolutely fascinating.
Had it not been for recording his work for our enjoyment, I’m sure the boat would have been finished years ago. It’s gotta take time to set up each shot and make sure lightning and sound are correct. Very grateful for his sharing of his project for our enjoyment. Once the boat is finished, I’m looking forward to see how he is going to recreate his UA-cam channel.
I was worried I would miss your DIY videos but with all your gadgets on your boat every week you will have to fix something while you are sailing. It's a win win in my book.
👍😂
I do not think I have ever mentioned how your obsessive attention to detail has influenced me for my everyday life when facing any task. Thank you for the inspiration and the videos. I think I talk for everyone when I say how happy We are to see that you are getting into the 'Final' details, ;)...See you.
You are amazing. Not only a talented DIY workman but your positive energy is inspirational.
I think it's fair to guess that Jira has touched this mans life. I like the thin "doing" column to limit work!
(Great videos btw!)
I've really enjoyed your videos over the years and have learned a lot. The main thing being that if I decide to go sail, I will just write a bigger check. Old men like me have to be practical. I look forward to seeing you cut the lines and just go have fun. I'd spend the next six months doing the best you can and then finish the details enroute. Best, Doc.
All I will say is that the head/shower needs to be 100% at least a week before Ava arrives. Failure is not an option.
The paint job completely changed the look of Athena - you did a fabulous job.
needs a cove stripe and boot top to stretch her out
Ken 👍, as it sits, it does look like a hospital ship.
@@stevenr8606
I think she looks much more modern.
I really thought it should be painted Orange.... but I will get over it.
I love how you take a big task and crush it into little pieces. Every single task is possible, but the hole thing seems impossible. Thats the way you get things done!
WOW! We did all of that...and I hardly move off the couch! Awesome job Mads!
My OCD likes this guys organisation and planning of everything.
Agree but not the tasks that are too long and start to cross into the to do. Ahhhhh.
@@DansKoiPond The tape lines were angled ...
But was nice to see his plan.
if u were really ocd you would spell it cdo
Then he would have a tad bit of dyslexia, too 👍
Nice guy but at the end of the day he will have spent 3x the value of the boat on DIY upgrades and lost 3+ year swhere he could have just been making someone a monthly payment and been sailing.
I forgot how much you got done in 2020, Wow!!!
Thank you so much :)
So I’ve been binge watching your series for two weeks straight lol. I love the series. Very cool seeing Athena come together. Your forgetting the foam in the abyss still lol.
Since I saw every one of your 2020 videos, I thought about skipping your 2020 summary. But I was glad I watched. It's amazing how much you DID accomplish. It's no wonder so many of us look forward to Sunday afternoons. Thanks Mads.
You will have a much better than new boat when your list is completed.
I feel like you only just got to celebrate a little while the victory of the splash! Oh well, back to work for the tasks to cruise! Looking good Mads and I am excited to see you keep knocking down that list from 39 to zero!
Gidday from Australia.
Your videos are so enjoyable. I am sure making them is causing you to be slower than you would like. I am glad you post them.
Athena is looking very very SPIFFY!
Somehow, it’s almost unbelievable you have gotten to this point.... you know when aesthetics are becoming more important than ever. But then it must break your heart that there is no more “Glorious Sanding” 🙂🙂 It has been a glorious journey you have brought us along for... we will be there for the finish, I hope. 🙂
Thanks just reminded me to buy my "glorious sanding" shirts. As finish carpenter it never ends
Good luck. My 30 year history of these kinds of projects says you will get done a small fraction of your goal. And that's doing it full time, as I do now. If you want to leave the dock in six months with a seaworthy boat, then no frills allowed like NMEA 2000 gadgets.
Oh I think if he has the boat ready to live on then that will keep the peace. If the head and v berth and galley aren't totally ready then it will be an unhappy boat. Besides if they are going to make a life together Ava has to realize you dont always control the schedule on a sailboat, weather and how far away the correct part you need control whether you are stuck someplace, maybe even at a dock or worse yet on the hard. K think she gets that so as long as they can be comfortable it will be OK.
Let’s get this get his channel to 100k
Best wishes for 2021!
Mas that list looks a bit daunting but I’ve found I am happiest when I am busy. Look forward to Sunday’s to see your progress.
don't get overwhelmed ! really dig how the nav station is looking like. keep up the great work
I love your weekly videos, I wake up every Sunday and can't wait!
Thank you so much :)
Well, 2020 has been a bummer for most people around the world Mads, but you have continued to work your magic on Athena and keeping us all enthralled with the work you have done. The next 6 months until Ava arrives I'm sure will fly by. Great job.
Perfect work
OMG!!!
Great respect towards you for not stressing out about all the upcoming work!
I know I'm bitting my nails out! 😱😱
Athena seems like a power hungry boat with all your appliances. I think your generator problem is something that really needs to be resolved before you go cruising.
Love the technology.
You for sure have put a lot of energy in to your project. I am deeply impressed and looking forward to the rest👍
She is really coming along. Won't be long now and it will be time to enjoy the fruits of your hard work, Mads.
Thanks for the update! I'm very pleased with your choice for managing the incoming and outgoing wiring. I think it will really help keep it neat and clear. Ava must be really special to have you dedicate so many tasks as priorities prior to her arrival. :)
LOVE that you're going to be doing a real electrical wiring organizer program using wireway and DIN rail. I don't understand why more people/boatbuilders don't use this stuff. I use it in industrial automation all the time and it makes for such a clean and easily maintained system. Kudos.
Speaking from experience I would say its better to mount the chart plotter in a way that faces you, rather than at a 90 degree angle on the panel.
I realise you're planning a PC plotter with large screen, so maybe you won't find it an issue, but I've found that its much more comfortable to use the plotter when its directly or close to infront of your eye line.
You are a very determined man and I have great faith in you and your ability to accomplish more than you imagine. You're awesome and the amount of work you have done so far is amazing.
What you've accomplished is amazing.
Mass, your workmanship is impeccable. Alan
You are amazing bro cant wait.for more and hope you guys have an amazing 2021
Your workmanship is great, I really enjoy all your videos
Great work Mads. Sailboat restoration videos helped many of us get through the rough bits of 2020. Keep it up!
No stress Mads. It takes time to do good work.
Cheers
And caught up. From now on, I'll be here with the rest of the crowd.
It sure is coming along nicely!
She's really coming along!
Thanks for the positive, uplifting video Mads! Great way to start off the week!
Good luck with all the tasks!
perfect organization..... it can't be better.... Congratulations
The power of love you have will make this list very small. Happy new diy year Mads.
I agree, the hull with paint and without the port lights looks great (PDS).
As daunting as you list of jobs to come is look at all you have accomplished! And imagine the satisfaction as you check them off!
That's true and I love doing the work. I just wish I had more time :)
@@SailLife Be sure Mads, if a day had 30 or 36 hours, you (and probably everybody else) would wish to had more time.!!
This next phase will be quite interesting
Great work Mads. I'm always amazed at how much you know. Cheers.
As ever, another masterclass in productivity.
The final 'push' is always the hardest. Ava must be so proud of you! Great job and you can do this!
The boat has come a long way it looks amazing. Your tasks are many but you are a beast of a builder. I have no doubt you will be ready for the big move. You have a really great motivation Ava good luck to you guys
Reallt good review - so surprised all that happened in a year but when you showed it I could remember all that happening. Stunning achievement and with a full-time job as well. Can't wait to see that new list vaporise in the next six months!
Just great as always.
Looks great!
Génial comme d habitude bravo
incredible! amazing !
Great job mads, looking forward to seeing 39 tasks coming up. Godt nytår
Nav station is looking great!
6 months is going to fly by!
Nav station looks great.
Wowza! Glorious glorious projects. You will be busy.
Mads is amazing. It would have taken me 6 weeks just to lake the list. 👍👍
Hey Mass... happy new year! Looking forward to seeing what happens next! 🇨🇦
Mads, glad to see everything is moving along but your to-do list looks daunting. Good luck, stay safe, and keep up the great work.
Really enjoyed the 2020 summary - so much work done but great to be in the water and close to moving aboard. Bravo Mads 👍
Great progress, loving the project nearing completion and really looking forward to the cruising videos 👏👏
You have made the boat of the future, really man smart all the way through
Hi Mads, I wish you all the best for the new year, and loads of time an succes for all the tasks to do. Love seeing your videos and progress every week. Keep up the good work! Kind regards
Great videos. Best channel of its type on the internet. Valium for sailboat junkies.
That TO-DO LIST was a life saver for 2020. Funny your a computer engineer and still resort to pen and paper. Im same way. Something about holding that list helps me remember
I am pretty sure that the pen and paper is just for our benifit. I can see many spreadsheets and data bases behind every project he does.
Happy New Orbit see you round the other side of the Sun at the next Solstice.
That is a big list, I hope you get as much done as you hope too without another lockdown. I'm sure seeing your better half is much more appealing. But look at what you have done so far and you should get most if not all done in time.
Wow! I can't believe how much you got done in 2020 Mads. - Awesome work 😊👍
Imagine if my sprint starts were this exciting
Mads, you are honestly a get it done sort of guy, if anybody can self start, stay orgnized(enough), and do the work it is you. I have faith you will surprise yourself.
Madds I have used those steel mono element VHF radio antennae on mirror mounts for trucks and 4wd vehicles in the past.
Longer examples are susceptible to excessive flexing resulting in harmonic effects and as a consequence they have a tendency to eventually break off at the base.
Also I had a base station with a 10db gain antenna mounted on a tall mast where I lived for a while in a remote region of the Australian outback.
If memory still serves that far back at my age, then when you use coax cable over a certain length (up a mast for example) it is a good idea to switch to heavier coax with stouter copper shielding for optimum results.
Given the amount of progress you made in 2020, I've no doubt you will get that new list all sorted in 2021 - plus a nice new cabin sole for Ava.
Three months to go!!! Whoop!whoop! So excited for you.👍 from this end it seemed like a pretty quick four years, actually. And now the end/start (?) is right there!! A smashing job with the channel, the boat, etc etc. Heartfelt congratulations Mads.
Amazing
Mads, you've really have a most successful year, making tremendous progress. 2021 sure sounds as though it's going to be very busy... but we know you're up for it! Cheers!!
Wow!
Hello from Ontario Canada!
In typical boat building fashion, as one list ends, yet another begins.
You’ve made amazing progress so far and I really like how it’s coming together! Keep it up.
Great vid again 👍
Happy new year from Northern California, I have enjoyed your vlog from last year and I'm looking forward to your work this year. Take care and thank you for the grand content.
Hello Mads
Are you considering a bank of Blue Sea fuse blocks behiyyour
Happy New Year. Looking back at what you did last year is an absolute credit to you. Your dedication to the job is 110% and the end result is looking great, well done. I am looking forward to watching the closing stages of your project. Cheers Ian Langley, Auckland, New Zealand. Home of the Americas Cup.
Very cool NAV station Mads!! Nice Video.
Very much looking forward to the electrical. That is mucho tasks and many doohickies!
I would consider assign priority to all tasks related to Ava. Probably knowing that everything in connection with Ava is ready, that will
Make you feel more relaxed
Good job, and good luck. cant wait for more videos.
Very Good job she is coming about!
Beautiful boat. You are doing a fantastic job. 2020 was a hard year. But seeing your videos made it so much better to bear. So much looking forward to this year and all the cosmetic details and the big move. Fairwinds...
Best worker ever mate !
Need another task on that board , which makes all the others seem minor polish up a toolbox full of man/woman relationship management tools.
Really looking forwards to when you have the three months to work on Athena full time. Good luck on the plans for 2021!
18:00 - using the zip tie block as a washer; great tip!!!
That's a fine looking boat !
I get tired just looking at the new list. Good luck Mads. We know you can do it.
