Lol the plastic wrapping of the emergency tiller is the closest we’ve ever seen Mads get to saying “fuck it”. Love the hack!
That made me laugh out loud. Scared the dog! But so right.
This is the only channel on UA-cam that gets a like from me every time. It's fun to see more projects while the wife is away.
Damn! You stingey bastard!
I can't wait for Sunday evenings to watch your videos. My wife knows exactly what I mean when I say: "I'm going to watch, Hi Guys" Thanks
my 13 year old daughter is very happy with her pretty dang spiffy t shirt , arrived in northern ireland in only 4 days .
I like the subtle “Psych” at the end…I bet you got a few viewers excited about the possibility of finishing the trim around the vertical pipe support at the nav station….haha, they will have to wait for another day!
I joined 49 seconds after the episode became available and your comment was already posted, how did you manage to get to the end so quickly? Did you cheat?
@@Dougalsdad01 i guess the data takes some time to travel through the different servers around the world and your was a little bit later this time. I could see the episode on my phone several minutes before it showed up on my tablet. Even though I did hit update a couple (10-20) times.
Mads releases videos about 48 hours early to Patreon supporters….errr, umm…I mean, time travel, that’s it 😉
I hope it is soon. I think I am developing a Chief Inspector Dreyfus twitch over it.
@@Dougalsdad01 It drives me crazy
I am soooo glad to see that even a seasoned and talented boat diyer can make a simple error like epoxy on the wrong side. When I do things like that I think I am the only one who does it. Thanks for sharing your bloopers as well Madds. Makes me feel a bit better about not always getting it right first time.
Haha, nice trolling us with that chart table pole trim!
I wondered if the bottom of the scuba tank shelf will need some drain holes? Talking of holes... that 'No!' is funny at 11:59!
Watch the last video, there he was explaining it's drain holes and how they work
Covering up the fiberglass in the aft cabin would be a majour project for me, for Mads it's what he does for fun in a bit of spare time!!
There’s something about the expertise and the way you go about your diy that addicts me to your channel.You have such talent both intellectually and manually with your hands……
MADS! You can't mess with people's DIY emotions like that with the nav station....!
Much prefer these project videos than your sailing videos, thanks.
Mads, you can get the emergency tiller powder coated. That would be a lot better solution for rust prevention than wrapping it in plastic wrap. I would check around one of the harbors and find someone close.
I’m sure Mads will have a new tiller made in stainless steel, in the nearest future 😉
Or shot with linex, or similar bed liner. Tough as hell and unlike powder coating, you will never scratch it
@@JimKJeffries flex seal rubber coats it
Really enjoying you back in DIY mode Mads!
Nice video as always. I'm glad to see you are paying attention to your viewers comments, especially mine regarding enhancing the spiffiness factor of that stainless steel pole by the computer station!!!! 😃
Spiffy Sunday back in action thanks
not a dummkopf, you just waterproofed the plywood and ready for white paint! Genius!
Reassuring to see someone else being "Captain Dummkopf"! 🙂 That cockpit locker is almost big enough to sleep in, I'm jealous.
A quick trip to the powder coaters will fix you emergency tiller situation. Nice work!
I love the "NO!" around the extra hole...lol
at 12:01 😊
that would be something for that extra project😉🙂
So on the bright side, possible Captain Dummkopf merch for the future.
I look forward to your videos every Sunday - Thank you Mads 🙂
Love the cockpit locker, very well organized.
Love the cockpit locker organisation Mads.. and the finish work in the aft cabin it seems like years, woh wait, it has been years since you started work in there!
Excellent job on the cockpit locker Mads. Well organized and as per your usual attention to detail perfectly done. As for the thickened epoxy on the plywood paneling, that wasn't a mistake, you were filling and pre-sealing the exposed face and saving time by using the same batch of epoxy for both surfaces (yes, I was in sales once, never a mistake always a feature). Thank you as always and best wishes to Ava and her sister and the mew baby when it arrives.
Mads! I had no idea that you were a dance pole trim troll.
Backstory? I think we should be told.
😁👍🍻
Hi, great work and the list is getting moved along , have fun and thanks for your video and ideas .
Nice work (as usual) on the cockpit locker, little by little you're getting the aft cabin cleared out and finished. Good job, keep up the good work.
Great DYI episode, can't wait until next weeks.
Yet again- great DIY info and inspiration to help us all DIYers out here! Looking forward to see what you did for toilet paper holder. I just installed a Dometic OceanAir and posted a UA-cam video. Thanks again for your many years of help and inspiration!
Great video as always!
Another great video Mads .
You already did tee pee holder dohikie. A much improved model is in the works I presume 👍👍
looks great what you have got done. stay safe and i will see you on next week's Sunday video from Arizona
As always enjoy your positivity, and general sunny disposition. Already a done deal, but if you need in the future, you could always us a french cleat system for something like the scuba tanks in the future. Safe sailing
Another great video, Mads!
I anticipate your vlogs. I would love to own your boat of project aticus due to your thoroughness. Great job!
MarineTex epoxy is perfect for small screw-hole filling. It's already white and is easy to.work with for filling holes with small black West Systems spreader/stir stick. Spreading it smooth before it is cured is a snap without any serious sanding later. You won't even see it from six feet away.
For line storage and organization if you tie the gasket on the coil with an extra couple of feet of line sticking out after the gasket hitch is made the line can be simply hung using a clove hitch from a long bar mounted along the top edge of the locker. Basically the gasketed coils hang from the bar like a line of fenders would hang from a lifeline using the same clove hitch.
We don't bother hanging them like this on our boat because we have a dedicated shallow line locker in the cockpit which lets us lay the coils neatly inside there like stacked firewood as long as they are all coiled the same length.
Like firewood, it doesn't matter how big around each piece is since they all stack neatly as long as they are all cut to the same length. The same with neatly coiled lines all wrapped to the same length when gasketed.
We have the same Lewmar winches on our boat. I felt your pain having to buy 16mm line because of the self-tailer. I have since modified the winches so the grabber disks (or whatever they're called) are 1/8 inch... err, I mean 3 mm closer together. Obviously these winches pre-date high modulus line. I'm happy to share the procedure for the mods if anyone is interested.
Using the Backstay for a SSB is a good emergency solution but for making contacts I´d use something like a spiderbeam spidermast or similar like a fishing pole. That will work a lot better.
Damn, Mads, you do great work!
Wow Mads! You continue to crank out good work. Thanks for sharing!!! P.S. One of those line holders might work for the TP.
Love a dangling intriguing conundrum. 😁
Great job see you next week
Mads, lucky that you have two great women in your life. It’s easy to see how much you are missing Eva, so Athena, mistress becomes your focus… Thanks guys!) One of favourite Sunday watches…)
You had me laughing so hard with the trim joke. literally was crying.
Looks like somebody's missing his Ava pretty bad, there, "Captain Dummkopf!!!" 🤣🤣🤣
Great job love your videos
Det er nu et lækkert cockpit locker du har fået lavet.
Oh a loo roll cliff hanger! great update 2x👍
Best channel on UA-cam
Loved your Tshirt. I am also too familiar with glorious sanding on my 1978 Catalina.
Good job squeezing into the aft c/p locker! We want to see you in the cabinet under the stove next week! (And you have to be able to close the door behind you!) 😉
Granny bar is the back rest on a motorbike. The right name on boat is mast pulpit.
Good job on the locker. As a thought, consider building a removeable plastic box in there for storing smaller cockpit related items like instrument covers, binoculars and other things you would only use in the cockpit.
always fun to spend 25 minutes with you Mads
Looking forward to more intriging conundrum dangling!
Mads, too late now but if I were you id've been adding a big task to clean up the salon. If Eva comes home to that mess you might be in for rough seas!!
Thanks!
Hey Mads and Ava, would you be interested in a little diy project before heading into the boat biting orca infested waters off Spain and Portugal? This idea of mine could help you fend off a threat if they decide to target your boat.
Definitely move my emergency tiller. Good idea! Thank you.
You are the best !!
Stay safe and we'll see you next week.
Because of Mads, I've begun calling it "Oh so glorious linting"
As always ure amazing thorough. My main goal in life now is to one day be the first thumbs up on one of your videos 😜
At 4:54 you talk about putting in a ham radio antenna tuner by the back stay. It would be very interesting if you could go into some detail on how to do HF radio antennas on a sailboat, given all the interconnected rigging (some of which is metal), and challenges with grounding. Are you considering using the rigging itself as an end-fed antenna, or adding something new?
Your Bride is gonna have more room than she's gonna know what to do with upon her return. Brilliant use of space in the cockpit locker
17:42 epic troll. Very well done.
Another good video, we need an update on Ava soon.
I enjoy seeing you work on boat projects. Have you considered you may be trying to add a bit too much to a boat this size?
So after watching many episodes I’ve realized that a sailboat is comprised of only two types of parts-a thingy and a dingus. I believe that a doohickey is a type of dingus.
I'd order up the spare autopilot now if you can Mads as Garmin have a scheduled price increase in early September
I suggest you start cleaning ASAP with one week left. Great jobs done!
Drill some drain holes in your scuba tank shelf and coat the holes with paint. I'd even recommend fairly large holes. remember, there always needs to be a path for water to get to the bilge and a pump.
He made the drain holes in the last video he even drilled filled and drilled them
I really feel for you when you sand fiberglass and gelcoat. Can you connect a vacuum to your sander. You do amazing work.
Thanks Mads! Really appreciate the repair tips. I think you mentioned you’d link a pdf of a double sided repair method?
All you need is in this PDF, he used and referred to this in one of the past videos www.westsystem.com/wp-content/uploads/Fiberglass-Manual-2015.pdf
You could install a "French cleat" across that transom wall. Then mount the dive bottle holder on that. This will allow you to move storage solutions around.
Wouldn't that be too loose for a boat? I can imagine when the boat is leaning to that side that the French cleat would stop working
Yes, I thought the same. Perhaps secure with a screw through both bodies. Alternately locating pins. The system is probably more useful in a dynamic working environment.
Just teasing us with that sextant, I guess. Great cockpit locker organization!! BTW, do you think that clear wrap will hold in the moisture on that emergency tiller? Thanks for another great video!
See you👍🏽
We were rewatching a few of your early videos (we’ve been watching since the early days), where you describe the accident that led Mads to reassess his life. In that video, he describes “more or less constant pain.” Is this still the case?
Good question i have wondered as well hope you don’t mind if i comment here so i can see the reply.
Oh and by the way people like me will grow to dislike Ava if you do the DIY i watch for while she is away and stop as soon as she gets back. Just saying
@@bentaylor4570 We've had a 5 year refit, at some point it's gonna be done. It's been a great journey, but the destination was to get cruising. I'm more than OK with what little DIY work is left being stretched out between spells of travel and real life. (also posting mostly to see any folowups :)
@@MrJhchrist yeah we all knew this was coming at some point but then again you hear about some boats that “always need fixing” or about people who are always trading up. I am not suggesting they get another boat but it would be more DIY to watch
Scam alert!
Hey Mads, she is looking fantastic,
Funny I had. M problem with the HF allen head wrench.
Athena is looking quite bristol, Mads.
With regards to the toilet paper holder in next weeks video just switch to a bidet toilet seat. They fit any toilet and come with, night light, heated seat, warm and cold water, air dryer, and they work in areas of the world where toilet paper is not available or hella expensive! Nice videos wish I had your skills at diy. Fair winds!
Nothing like leaving us with a "Dangleing TP Holder", almost as scary as some of the Spiffy Sanding or waiting for the paint to dry stuff, but hey, it's all good stuff Aboard Good Old Athena. Stay safer than ya have to be till Ava returns, then ya can go for broke !!!
What is the brand & model of the intercom I've seen you guys using? Seems very handy after some shouting and misunderstandings during this summers sailing. :)

12:07 What's with the " No! " cloud around that hole? Haha
I am still going to bang on about racing strips, Athena is still too white on the hulll, how about some colour, a nice blue will suit the Bimini come on Ava support me here. Love the videos, your number one Australian supporters
That’s why we paint boats white. Easiest colour to match.
Tease! I was so excited to see the pole get bedded in. Foiled again.
While the scuba rack is spiffy did you take the into account that they will drop sea water into the bottom?
We miss Ava...😢
I hope the SSD tuna you fit will be dolphin friendly ;)
I like your t-shirt
Holy cow, I have been watching too long if the hull was painted 3 years ago.. Seems like it wasn't that long ago.
2:28 You mentioned a link in the video description to a pdf-file describing the somewhat extensive method to close holes. Could you add this link? 🙂
All you need is in this PDF, he used and referred to this in one of the past videos www.westsystem.com/wp-content/uploads/Fiberglass-Manual-2015.pdf
Hi friend, Why not an yacht design course like the Westlawn course ? You would be a nice designer !
Catch 22. I've found you need an Allen key to reassemble your Allen key holder.
Wow is all I can say
On my last boat build, after painting the hull I turned the boat and then spent six months finishing the cabin and deck, after which I went back to buy more paint and found the manufacturer had changed the formulation. Needless to say, despite it still having the same name, it was now a different colour white! ) :
Ouch...
I bet those two extra holes Mads accidentally made in the cockpit were gnawing on him until he got it fixed. Now he most likely can't help himself continue to notice the slight paint difference on it, even though no one else can notice it.😁
