So "magical" watching this episode. The lack of uniformity in the interior adds to the charm and interest. It looks like it was designed to be as it is. Just perfect.
THIS episode: So full of light and joy! As it should be! What a neat project. No channel on earth. . . is more fully worth. . . my patron support. Thank you for the craftsmanship and the artistry with which it is presented!
"The tide was rising; excitement flooding back in..." You are such a wordsmith, Maya! Loved this episode. Magic Carpet II is looking like a Magic Carpet at last.
and don't overlook Aladino's talent for inventing new words, e.g., "grinded".
It is so uplifting to the spirt to see such kind, hard working, conscientious, talented people working together and being great role models. There are so many folks who are not. These videos are a welcome reminder of how wonderful the world could be with more humans like this….
Spot on Anthony, a lovely, exceptional couple.
What i mostly see, in these Videos at last, the guy is working his butt off and that woman mostly standing around or doing the easy Jobs, rolemodel??? Cunshit
Magic Carpet has the most lyrical presentation of all the "boat" channels. I'm not talking about the music it's the colorful narration.
Aladino is the real deal! such a skilled worker.
Love the project guys, keep up the amazing work! Excited to follow along on your journey!! 🤗
You two do amazing quality work !! Also love Aladino`s warped sense of humour, and Maya`s informative and graceful (if that is the right word in this context) commentary. Keep up the great work, you are going to end up with one of the best restored boats anywhere.
Just found you the last few days. Watching everything in order. Your work is beautiful, you have done so much and have so much of which to be proud. Well done!
This is a big step forward. Must be very rewarding and I am glad to see happiness coming back.
My wife and I have been following your channel for about two years now. Just wanted to say how much we appreciate your dedication, attention to details, sharing and just the right amount of humor. Magic Carpet II is really looking good.
Thanks so much for tacking us alone on your Journey .... So glad that I found Your Channel after having it metioned on 'Project Duracell' .... Keep well and Stay safe .... Very best to ALL from Christchurch, New Zealand
The bow look STUNNING! I hope you have celebrated it with a nice bottle of…..
Do you know that the starry sky we see at the beginning shows Orion as well as Sirius which is the brightest star in the northern skies. Must be a good omen. Have a wonderful life on your new boat. Love from Belgium. Oh and Maya ... please play your fiddle more often. Thx.
Amazing work kids....you never cease to astonish me with your dedication to the BEST you can do. Press On ! .... OnWard, Ever OnWard........
Can't wait to see this boat on the water. It'll be the first boat where I'll feel a tiny little bit of ownership in.
The closed deck dramatically changed the aurel tone of the cabin. Enjoy the milestone!
"OK, we're done!" - frigging BEAUTIFUL! I just had to stop your carefully edited video for a moment to comment.
IT'S WOOD - it's organic, it is not supposed to match perfectly (I understand the quest for nearly perfect, just trying to say GOOD JOB!) - the variance is part of the beauty - it is just a matter of perspective and joy!
Your skill in making Magic Carpet II BETTER than new is admirable. Rock on!!!
12:25 "not bad at all!" - here, in Franconian dialect, they say equivalently "bassd scho!" (Das passt schon, it's quite o.k.) - the highest praise known in this lingua!
I say, BEAUTIFUL!!
I loved your comment :-)
It's such a weekly treat watching you guys every Friday. Thank you, Cheers from Miami.
I totally agree!
The underside of the deck looks so good! I was saying, "Wow," a lot. To see such beautiful work is inspiring. Well done...again!
So glad to hear that!! Thanks so much for the comment!
Wow, you guys are amazing, what workmanship, you's must be proud of yourselves. Awesome watching, thanks. SV Kiwi Lady Opua Bay of islands New Zealand.
Is there a greater joy than watching a master craftsman at work?
Congratulations on this milestone. Just gorgeous!!! You already know this but this boat will be so special and a terrific home for you both. Love seeing terrific people working hard for their dreams and achieving them with such grace and humility. Congratulations.
Glad you've moved to this exciting phase of the boat repair.
To watch the precision and attention to detail Aladino exhibits in the rebuild makes me appreciate more the beauty of Magic Carpet I.
You both are an inspiration in todays mass market world.
Bravo 👏😎
I am always amazed at the perfection of craftmanship that has gone into this renovation. Aladino you are a true craftsman and I wish that all tradesmen would use your ability as an example. Maya your narrations are so perfectly in tune with the process which keeps me and I hope others captured from the beginning to the end of each episode. I will probably never see the final MC2 product in real life but I look forward to every new episode watching you both cutting through the waves on this wonderful piece of perfection.
You both can give seminars : how to make epoxy exiting! Thank you for this episode 🙏
Sure is fun to watch u guys work so hard. You will have so much pride in the boat when you finally sail her. She is worth well over a million dollars at this point. She has thousands of hours of blood, sweat, and tears in her but the journey will all be worth it in the end.
Great milestone achieved through patience and hard work. All so very worthwhile. Congratulations
Wow now I’m starting to see it. For so long I was worried you guys couldn’t do it. Shame on me. you all making that boat turn out to be so beautiful.
Congratulations on a big milestone!
You both are making so much progress on the boat it's amazing! Thank you for the video Maya & Aladino!
That was funny. Alidino: there will be no 'slathering' thank you very much. Ain't nobody got time for that!
I built a 27 foot plywood boat, and in a few places I had to fill damages in the bottom so I used ground garden lime with epoxy for the filler. Years later when I ripped off the fiberglass for new glass on the bottom the glass came off nicely, but the places of repair with the lime had to be ground away. This lime is dirt cheap. Test it yourself, and use it instead of silica when you can. It makes a great filler for large voids,
Brilliant work Aladino and Maya. Looking forward to each post and your progress, keep it up. Regards from Allan Montile, Durban, South Africa.
This looks great! Beautiful work you two. So glad you've got your momentum back. 💕
Thank you Jen!
Maya you are charming and seem to hold this whole UA-cam channel together so beautifully. Aladino on the other hand is a boat sculpturer who definitely loves his work. Thank you for all the hours of allowing me to live vicariously through you two.
Thanks so much James, and thanks for watching.
Such beautiful work! The attention to preparation really pays off. Aladino, you're a master craftsman.
agh its the craftsman and the creator, such a treat , the level of detail is amazing, the emotion conveyed in the narrative voice is at least half the enjoyment of the story , i really enjoy these friday treats thank you for giving us an insight into your story fairwinds young lady
WOW excellent job SMC crew!! Looks amazing soon on the blue!! 👍👍👊👊
I've just been through three months of multiple, serious health complications and hospitals and you need to know that your weekly dose of poetry, music precision and progress were better medicine than anything physicians and pharma provided. You are very special people, thank you so much.
Thank you very much for this lovely message Laurie! Wishing you a speedy recovery!
Aladino and Maya
Aladino your a craftman with skills beyond your years. Beautiful work.
I learned a version of good enough on my first boat restoration. "The better is the enemy of the good." I was always trying to do things better until the old shipwright who ran the boat shed taught me this valuable lesson. I try to apply it to practically everything these days! That said, Aladino is obviously a master craftsman.
Another cracking offering from you two. Thanks for the enjoyment I have watching it.
I actually love the fact that its not colour matched, there's beauty in imperfection . It has a story . Amazing work you two ,as always.
A great friend of mine taught me to say. It is a “design consideration “ not a mismatch…..
After all the demo and so much prep work it’s good to see a glimpse of finished work. The work looks very good.
It must be extremely satisfying to finally close the decks and to have the interior fiber glassing done or mostly done. BIG PROGRESS!
Congratulations on sealing the deck! Glad your spirits are restored.
Absolutly amazing. So darn Beautiful. So exiting to watch this progress. I’m really impressed by those two.
Great Jobb.
Thanx for chairing 🙏
Thank you so much Fred!
Watching craftsmen at work--lovely as always.
Congratulations on the new deck, looks magnificent.
Such craftmanship very very inspiring to sea all the love and attention given to every detail of the rebuild. Congratulations great team.
There's something about the Swiss apprenticeship program that is like no other. I have noticed it over years of working with Swiss professionals and never been able to put my finger on it. This perfection that I've never seen anywhere else is evident in everything Aladino is doing. Even simply the way he is looking at things. Such pleasure to watch.
You're absolutely right, the Swiss culture is very precise. It has its benefits!
Big jobs out of the way! 🎊🎉🎉🎊
Looking amazing!
Take good care!
It’s a great pleasure to watch good people executing their craft. Outstanding work!!
Deeply in awe of your work ethic, and attention to detail. It's going to be magnificent.
Such painstaking work and such gorgeous results!
wow, you guys rock!! your design efforts and craftsmanship really shines ! - so glad you've taken the time to artfully express the various woods and detail structural...it's beautiful !!
Such exciting times! Looking forward to the launch. The detail in the work is splendid.
As usual, I was carried along on your narrative. Thanks.
And good news here too. I got some paint on my hull, but a bit slow drying. 🤞
Indeed the project is advancing well and soon you will be able to concentrate on the interior. Cheers
You've brought me out of a deep, long building funk with this one. Absolutely wonderful work and such a joyous feeling to see it all coming together. Thank you so much!
Love the way you tell your story. The summary line "...tide was rising, excitement flooding back in" paints the perfect picture for me and is so eloquent. Best,
Congratulations on this big step!
Looks awesome!!! You have to be thrilled with the transformation
One of the absolute best sailing channels on UA-cam
I've been following you religiously for some time. I admire you both. I can not imagine the skills necessary to do the work that you do. I'm 76 years old and live in Cary, NC, USA. I spent my life doing what I thought was the right thing. Get a secure job and plod along till retirement. I did that successfully but wonder what I missed along the way. Excited to see someone venturing out. Not sure if I will see you sail in the new Magic Carpet, but I hope so. My favorite episode is 11. I wish I could live there.
How wonderful to have the deck back on, even if it's just the first layer. As always a most enjoyable time, with great music and narration, a perfect mix of time lapse and real time, boat and the lovely space around the shed. Thank you!
Thanks so much Wayne, really really appreciate all your support!
Love your work! And thank you for showing my favorite constellation (Orion) at the beginning. Look forward to your videos every week!
Greetings from Fredericton, New Brunswick. I continue to gain insight and inspiration from you.
You both are really "attention to detail" people and it shows in the excellent work on MC 2. Excellent craftmanship! I for one look forward to your episodes each week. There are lots of milestones in a rebuild like this. Thanks for sharing them all! What a yacht you'll have!
Thanks for sharing your mile stone 👍
Marvelous job 👏 🙂
Love to see your wonderful work. Highest quality. And your personalities are the same standard. Just a hi from a Danish sailor. Started at 11 and went ashore when 73, 9 years ago. Love from Gunnar.
Love watching you guys!!
Thanks Gareth, we really appreciate it!
Y'all do some of the cleanest work I've seen. Bravo!
And the lap, tie ends are just phenomenal, perfect.
Bring back just music, no lyrics 😀🎵🎶Thanks for the deck sealing episode, massive learning.
You guys are awesome together. That boat has never looked so good and when you're finished she will be amazing.
You are both very lucky to have partners that can help each other. I had a partner that was that way for 43 years. She was always wanting to do projects together. We built many many cabins, gardens, furniture, as well as meals and travels together. It is unbeatable to have such a partner. She is still with me, thankfully, but she had an accident 7 years ago, such that she can't help me anymore. Falling off a bike, being in a comma for 6 weeks, and now not remembering from day to day what her situation is, is terrible, but.... in some ways not. She still offers every day to help me, not remembering that she can't walk, sort of like that silly movie "50 first dates". Sounds sad and terrible I suppose, but in truth, I still have her. We're celebrating our 50th anniversary this summer, with almost 100 friends invited. We both tell each other how lucky we are each and every day. I hope you tell each other the same.
Excellent job. Your passion is inspiring.
Great video! I think you should leave the natural and different colori of the wood in the interior to remember what a great job of recontruction you did on your boat ... Very well done! Congratulazioni a tutti e due siete meravigliosi! Ciao
The decking is looking beautiful, you are both such amazing workers and storytellers.👍👍⛵️⛵️⛵️😊
"Good Enough" - That part of the episode reminded me of a wonderful person I used to work with, who was also a perfectionist, just like Aladino, and he had a wonderful expression, that I still often use - "For what it is, it will do!! Your work, both of you, is totally astonishing!!! I always look forward to you new episodes so much, and so Thank You!!!
🌝 hope too see you soon in fryslan

I admire the ‘swiss-percision’, but also the ‘that’s part of her story’ aproach. Al the best of luck, and hopefully I can spot MG2 in real life somewhere in the Netherlands/Europe in the future!
Hi guys I was watching Duracell projects and you were on it just come across to your channel wonderful just love it think of all the good work Cliff from Logan City Queensland Australia
It's exhausting watching you! Your epoxy tips continue to help my SO and I with our boat refit, so thank you
I really appreciate the fact that you are the only Utube channel to provide and produce your own music without infringeing any copyrights whitch makes you quite unique l really appreciate your vlogs and music l think lve watched everyone of your vlogs from sailing the canals to the present day 😎😎😎
Thanks John! I certainly don't produce all my own music though. Most of it I get from royalty free music sites. The only music I make myself is the stuff you actually SEE me playing. But I really appreciate you watching the videos!
The color match is wonderful. The people we see and places we go aren't all the same color,but when we come together as one humanity isn't it beautiful? Just like your coachroof.
"Excitement flooding back in". Brill
You are both building a beautiful boat. Craftsman ship out of this world
Well done team. Looking like a boat again with the decks closed up. 🐟
Absolutely Beautiful Job on your decks, blocks and beams, they look Amazing! I went back to the beginning of the season to watch from the beginning and it has been quite a ride to say the least, so much craftsmanship in your build.
Maybe next time you should build you own boat from scratch? 🙂 That would be interesting. I love to watch a craftsman work. It looks great.
You two guys are amazing team mates. I love watching your channel and absolutely amazing work.. 👏🏻 🍻
What a magnificant boat work !!!!!
.......not to mention brilliant violinist 🙂
Great job both of you!
Always fun to watch your videos and to follow the progress.
So much fun watching after tearing it all apart and it steps incl emotional once to see it cone together, thx for sharing
She looks beautiful guys. Well done!!
A job able to be completed only by the young with out children....LOL Been there done that, and completely enjoy watching the adventure all over again...but this time with less back pain...LOL God Bless you both and your youthful ambition. You have become a true Canadian when you are able to reference boat products to the same consistency as maple syrup! LOL Your selection of music is wonderful! Every boat tells a story and this boat certainly tells your story!
Once again the quality of your workmanship as a team comes through and is demonstrated by the superior looks of the finished product. “Color Match?” In a boat like yours that would be boring and it wouldn’t show the amount, and quality, of your own efforts. Personally, I see the differences in tones as a part of the boats history and story for all to see and enjoy. In the future, it might be interesting, and an eye opener for some, to see how long it actually takes to put the blue painters tape on in real time. I’ve done a lot of that over the years and it’s not easy. In your case you both probably put in a lot of time installing the painters tape on the beams and the underside of the front piece, which also looks awesome. Again, great work and the finish looks so professional and appealing too.
