Maya's purgatory is coming to an end. It won't be long till you hear the water lapping on the hull, guys. What a superior boat fit-out!
"Maya's purgatory" hahahahaha. You're not wrong tho!
@@SailingMagicCarpet Title of your next composition, perhaps?
Oil the handrails again, there are more than one reasons why they wore oiled than that it is easier. This safety device gives a better grip for your hand if it is oiled than if it is varnished. 🇸🇪💕😄😀
Agreed!
11:45 Aladino calls what he does a shortcut😅 a shortcut would have been slapping a new coat of paint on the boat when you got it! this is a very comprehensive boat refit by any standard!
That's a Doofus response! ;-)
Magic Carpet II is going to be absolutely stunning with all the care and love you two are pouring into her. Piano solos were a lovely accompaniment to this episode💚
Thank you so much :)
is that maya on the pianner? i presume the in and out music are maya
@@gadiantonx8474 no, I don’t really play piano :) only the music that plays during the starry night intro is mine.
@@SailingMagicCarpet the fiddle and guit show that you rilly do have soul what more can a person want
BACKGROUND MUSIC IS GREAT! MATCHS THE QUALITY OF YOUR WORKMANSHIP AND BOAT
The background music took a big leap forward again. I love the music Maya chooses, and how it just creates the perfect mood.
The boat is getting soooo pretty… respect to you both
I'm loving that it's looking like a boat again!
This is when each day you become more excited than the last. The beauty begins to show it's self, and it is more like down hill with a tail wind each day.
I think I'm going to need a bit more of Aladino's dancing as we stretch into a predicted-to-be-ugly February in my part of the world. He has the moves!
Love your videos each Friday! Thanks for sharing and cheers to you from Victoria BC. Aladino, your making Magic Carpet II resemble an instrument playing the 'Song of the Seas'. The cockpit combings are an homage to the F holes on a violin. I imagine Maya will be inspired to creating her own music when out at sea again. Definitely your 'happy place' . Thank you allowing us to journey with you each week.
Hey Aladino, I wanted to drop by and let you know how much I value your videos and the amazing quality of your work. Seriously, you're doing an awesome job!
I appreciate that!
She is looking quite lovely with all her revamped "assessories." All the effort y'all are putting in is definitely showing!
You might already have varnished the hand rails by now, but if you haven’t I suggest you oil them. Not only is it easier, but it would offer better grip, feel great to handle and I think the contrast would look great against the shiny trim.
if you want to save taping time (TONS) pace a square of quality wax paper under the joint as you screw in the handrails. you can tighten them down lightly -then varnish scuff recoat to your hearts content. Then once you're ready to put fully assembled coats or? you just loosen the screws a bit grab the paper with two hands, pull on it and you can tighten it up as far as you want, no mess no fuss. I've seen and used this technique after learning it from high end wooden house finishing gurus. This technique works even better when installing door / window etc trim , line the edge with wax paper when installing the trim / frame use blue painters tape to keep the paper positioned then you can even use a razor blade to cut it off without loosening the trim...saves tons of time
How does that work with bunged screws? Seriously??
@CAPTJohn47 not at all. Just to answer your question 😅😅
@@soloroy6020 actually it does... Handrails (in new construction and some restorations) are often varnished off the boat, installed later. So its not unusual that the bungs are installed, trimmed, planed flush, and then spot varnished on a mostly finished handrail. Pro-tip, you don't use glue, use varnish as glue when you put them in.
Just did my handrails last year, and this is exactly what I did - did all coats off the boat, installed, bunged, then did same layers of touch up over the sanded bungs. Worked out great. Neat trick with waxed paper! But yeah wouldn't work once you have bugs in (unless you cut it with razor blade).
Hi guys, always amazes me. The stupid comments people say it’s like it’s your first rodeo never worked on a boat before and you don’t know what you’re doing. If they understand this is your trade you spent many years working on other yachts/boats so just keep up the good work Love the videos Cliff from Logan City Queensland Australia 🇦🇺
Make the hand rail screws a visable feature, brass or stainless. Great video with wonderful music.
For the screw holes… could you varnish the rails before installing them, then put the bungs in and varnish those. It might be easier to mask off around the bung holes instead of the rest of the rail. :)
Really, really like the alteration to the cockpit/aft deck. The lines, flow on the cockpit coaming is absolutely gorgeous, the added storage and space on the aft deck a nice improvement. That area is well used cruising, anchoring, embark/disembark, storing lines, fenders. Very practical and aesthetics spot on. Props to you my man!
It's been a long time since we've seen Maya play her violin. I always enjoy her playing a tune as Aladino finishes up a project at the end of a video.
Loved the solo piano music!
It's not fair. How can you be so good at boat renovation, and varnishing, and , and, so good at music choices for each project scene. Who was playing the piano? Please, please?
Your boat will look amazing when finished. I can't see any significant weight been added so far. Glad you had also thought of possibly adding another scupper. ❤❤
I think this refit reflects the artists who are doing it. Each area of the boat is designed beautifully, and when Aladino says not pickiest is most everyone else's perfect and as to heavy doesn't everyone love heavy bottom girl❤
Thank you Maya. Your music choices are so wonderful. It really adds to the enjoyability of your videos. I love this channel so much. Very entertaining.
You guys work well together which is always nice to see.👍👍
Thankyou for many hours of excellent entertainment and content . You have restored and created a beautiful boat . I know nothing as I’m a landlocked caveman , I do understand dedication to doing your very best . Congratulations .
JUST WOW! YOUR NOT AN BOAT BUILDER BUT AN ARTIST!!!
Definitely a great idea to fiberglass the coamings. Added strength is always a plus😊
Those sanded teak handholds were beautiful.
Ya know, everyone has opinions, whether a former boater, present sailor, or just an armchair know it all...lol Be your own selves and be confident that you are impressing the rest of us to pieces!! LOL. Be safe always from the Philippines 💕
Aladino I’ve been watching you for so long now and I had to laugh when you said you were taking some shortcuts when you are sanding. Your shortcuts are anyone else’s long jobs. I love how magic carpet 2 is looking now 😊
You will be in water very soon now!!!!!! She looks great. Hope the stress is less now without a need to move deadline.
That combing is beautiful actually. Opens up the aft deck nicely.
Such beautiful work.
I’m sure you’ve completed varnishing the hand rails but, if not, Aladino may want to loosen them, place short spacers at the rail interface. Maya could then do a simple masking, followed by varnish, drying, spacer removal and snugging up the handrails to the trim.
A lot of useless weight has been removed, don't be too worried about a little extra!
The combing is looking beautiful, like a Lyre, representing the peace of Elysium where heroes go after being appointed immortality by the gods!
here for the Aladino show!
Wonderful photography, and excellent choice of music. As always, your descriptions of the work being performed are clear and easily understood. Thanks for the video 😁😁👍👍
after watching from the begining i can say, Alidino i would absolutley trust you to do work on my boat ,and Maya your wood finishing skills are top notch
I have a question regarding the winch bases - Since they are basically a bridge between the bulwarks (foam) and the coaming (wood) the portion of the forward thrust to the boat that is delivered by the jib sheets is applied to those items only. Are the bulwarks and coaming attached to the deck adequately to safely transfer that force under all conditions? Your craftsmanship and patience with odious tasks like sanding for days on end never cease to amaze me!
Magnificent piano playing in the background. Who is that? Almost like Brad Mehldau. Next to the boat building nerds, we music nerds also get their share in your video’s 😂 great episode again lovely people!
to whomever is playing the piano is this video, absolutly amazing
So cool to see you guys looking so fresh being north the Border. There is a fun fire in your eyes, fun to see. You guys are doing an amazing job. There is always more than one way to get things done.
Al that woodwork looks so sturdy! And well finished!
She 's going to be a stunner! Love it!
as always, you are an inspiration to ANY boat owner wanting to work on their pride and joys. Brilliant work. Great work ethics
You are reinventing and recreating a beautiful yacht. ! very impressive craft work
Beautiful varnish work on interior. Cockpit coming looking good. Excellent music accompaniment.
Wise to wait on an after scupper. The four forward ones will do their job well, and chances are that something important wash by and it will have to wash past you again to find it's way overboard!
You will Love those handrails. Good job!
Hello, I just found out about Sailing Magic Carpet from a patron. You do make very high quality videos with lovely musical accompaniment. We own a Bristol Channel Cutter 28, in fact the one that you showed the bronze number plate of on the Cape George boatyard video! I saw the plate, and asked my wife "Aren't we number 96?" The corrosion looks familiar, just like ours! Such a small world. We plan on repainting our mast this spring. The Epifanes roll on paint looks really good and our yard owner recommended we use it. Prep is everything.
Awesome job you are doing. Just remember it’s your boat, your schedule, and your decision. Thank you for sharing your journey.😊
I’m picturing you handing out surgical booties to anyone who wants to set foot on those decks after they’re painted…Looking good.
Very nice job on those hand rails. Hang in there guys it's looking great and the end is in sight 👍.
Thanks guys for another great upload…I say this even before Iv watched it 😂 got my coffee and snug as a bug in bed 🙏
We use a variable speed 8inch grinder/buffer with 8inch foam backed sanding pad on its slowest speed for sanding big flat areas at my work.
I really love seeing you working, very precise and competent♥️ from Italy continuate così e non mollate, ci siete quasi✌🏻
The handrails look great!!
Thanks guys, love the content it is a weekly escape. My problems with a bone infection in my knee last year has me laid up still , look forward to your video every week I feel like we're all watching the birth of this beautiful vessel. I haven't been on my Grady for over a year I need some wave therapy so bad
White is a very tiring colour on the decks, a light grey mitigates the dazzle, in sunny climes.
Do the x coats of varnish then fit, plug and sand then coat just the top surface of the rails, a couple of times.
Amazing work! All the hard work is really paying off!
I love the piano music 😀🎶😀
She is coming along nicely!
Yah, man-made minerals have changed & improved abrasives immensely! 3 M invented sandpaper 100 or so years ago. They also invented their Cubitron mineral products 15 years ago. Sis and all the others followed suit. Great stuff.
❤ that the boat shed opening has made another appearance 😻 and sometimes I just can't wait for Caturday morning to watch
the latest an greatest episode 😻😸😺
give yourself a break. exposed brass or bronze fasteners are perfectly acceptable for those rails. plus, when they loosen up you can retighten them. varnish them off the boat and make it easy for yourself. please!! Keep up the great work.
I would have prefinished the grab rails , i don't understand the problem . Generally prefinish , install and then touch up that would be easier and i think a better job . But the boat looks great you're doing fine job so go magic carpet !
The handrails will look great, not a problem at all to varnish them while they're installed. It might be even easier, since you don't need to think of a solution to fix them in place on a workbench.
Maya, I love the blend of Dino working to the waltz in a beautiful Maj7 ! What is that track at 6:00?
Stressful when the glass bottle fell at 2:57. Must be intentional to create extra drama! :)
The new sculptured coamings resemble the elegant curves of Maya's violin. Lovely bit of considered design driven by the smart decision to up-cycle
My dads old boat the hand rails where all bolted on through the wood with captive bolts epoxed in, It made getting them on and off really easy if fiddly and made varnishing them really simple too. The were external handles so they were varnished ridiculously often, prior to uv proof varnishes. I hated the job growing up.
I don’t miss any episode. You both do it well and it’s very satisfying to watch, Klaus from germany 🇩🇪
Every week my anticipation of for the completion builds and builds.
Better and better
Nice design Dini more like the high performance sail boats
Those handrails look so great, as does the rest of the boat, much love from England
I sail a Rustler 36. There are times down wind in bad weather when a combing across the back of the cockpit stops the slop wave from completely filing the cockpit. There are other times when the cockpit fills anyway. That happens to boats with little stern overhang.
Looking good there guys slowly but surely she is getting closer to splash time cheers from Australia
Great Job you two! She is coming along nicely !!!! Loved the video can't wait for next week. Thank you for sharing!
What a beautiful artistic curve! Wow!
So glad you like it! Thanks for the comment :)
The Cape George boats are one of my absolute favorites. I love what you are doing. May ask what sold you on the 36 rather than a 38 ?? Thank you for your show!!!!
The 36 was available haha! That's pretty much it :)
As always and for many years now; great video. Thanks for your clean explainations. The are very helpful and educational for my projects.
I really like the (new) way the cockpit looks!
So, are you going to add scuppers where the coaming meets the bulwarks. You talked about missing coaming, but I don't think you committed one way or the other. I think it'll be easier to do before you glass in the coaming, if you are. Moving right along in the cockpit area. Looks really good to me. Thanks for the episode.
I'd leave the handrails raw. The contrast looks good
You have some funky jams this week!
My 40 year old 40 year old Spencer had the original paint on it so when I painted I moved the waterline up 6" to paint the bottom, them moved it back down 4" so I was 2" above the original waterline. When I launched the boat the water was right at the waterline. I should have left it 6" higher. Ya, my boat's heavier than it originally was. It's no problem having a high waterline, but a too low and you're always scrubbing off algae :-(
What a beautifull interior. I hope you dont mess it up with those ugly hanging nets
with random gear and food like lots of boats seem to have to copy from eachother.
With a little bit of organisation and discipline your home can look and feel a lot better.
(and roomier)
really coming together…about that combing and scupper …im thinking that the area aft of the last scupper could be an enclosed storage nook for small deck tools…winch handles etc…can have a closed top with open access through combing into cockpit…would need a small drain hole that most likely could drain forward…that space as it is now appears to be an odd shaped place that would collect dirt and such and would drive me crazy..i am pretty sure aledino would notice this too…small details, but hopefully useful…cheers!
I think any boat yard in the world would jump at the chance to employ Aladino.
Most excellent graceful curves to those comings. I'm pretty sure you will want a couple additional scuppers at some point. Will there be/is there a handrail in the overhead? Just seemed a good idea to me, an admittedly armchair sailor.
What a head turning boat it will be!
The new design on the Coamings look great but what are you doing about a backrest for the aft cockpit seating
Looking so GORGEOUS ❤️🇨🇦❤️
Hammer come in many different shapes and sizes!
605th subscriber LIKE; 3,280th tag-along view setting sail... the progress is good, looks impressive.
A work of art👏
Looking beautiful
Have you thought of using saran wrap under rails before varnishing? After it has set up just tear off saran wrap. It might leave a small amount under the attachments but I don't think it would hurt.
Music choice is ace, Maya. Keep it up.
All I a beautiful person and still hates the camera. The voice over is best..... you'll are awesome
Orion goes sailing by :)
