Suggesting a new opening line: "If you're new here, let me get you caught up. I bought Athena 4 years ago, and then proceeded to replace every piece of the boat (nearly) one by one because this is a DIY focused channel...for now."
Got only one thing to say. “ Pretty Dang Spiffy”.
Mads start making plans for a second clothes storage area in the tech room right away. Before my wife moved in with me I built her a beautiful 40 sq ft walk-in closet in the bed room, organized for long things, shoe, shirts and blouses, light coats small compartments open shelves. When it was finished my things took about a third of the space, after about a year I had about a tenth of the space, and after 2 years zero space. At first when it was finished I marveled at this organization thing of beauty. I haven't seen the inside in years
As a landlubber watching Mads go to town on his boat, I have to laugh. All of his demo and re-construction work is ever faithful to the all important hull. How many new boat owners/re-builders drill through the hull to get something mounted? That long-term storage location is fraught with danger for people not paying attention. Thanks for another great peek at what will be a boat in better shape than when it left the factory.
Had to use matchsticks to keep my eyes open while waiting for Sailing Life , now I'm wide awake. 😄👍👍👍
I would suggest adding a number of ventilation holes to provide air flow to all the little drawer spaces. Humidity in warm climates can create a serious mold problem otherwise.
Maybe even a small fan to circulate air through the drawers?
@@todmills I have been thinking about fans for the fridge heat sink in my caravan and 12v computer fans is what I have decided to use, free too. Maybe these would work well on Athena.
Mads doesn't do warm climate... see any signs of a A/C unit anywhere?
Dehumidifier vented to the lockers is a great idea, but if you skip that it's recommended that you vacuum bag the long time stored cloths closest to the hull at least.
I waited 3 week so i could watch all at once :) i Just love the boat.
I'm enjoying the steady Americanisation of your accent.
It is a popular misconception that stick-built/brick and mortar homes have walls that are plumb, corners that are square and floors that are level. In my many years of contracting I find this is not the case. Thanks for taking us along on this journey.
Crikey Mads that is one hell of a to do list. When you get to the stage of just actually sailing her I can't help think you will be constantly looking for something to sand.
I think Mads will make a chess set or something hand crafted
This is so funny...!
I'm putting shelves in my closet and was about to order some plywood...
Looks like I'm ordering the good stuff now!
D.I.Y. tip:
Always ask yourself, "What would Mads do?"
You do the best "fast-forward" video of any channel I watch. We see what's going on and are not bored with long drawn out real time video. Great job.
Loving the motto: "Friends Don't Let Friends Buy Cheap Plywood". And yes, I would very much like that on a T-shirt.
LOL I wish I could find cheap plywood around here we are looking at $30.00 a sheet
that nmea network display looks fantastic
In Mads We Trust! Great job buddy! I know someone is saying it for sure but vent holes for the storage locker is ideal to keep the clothing stored inside "wearable" later and combat the moisture build up. Oh Glorious sanding and venturing well into overkill territory is in the video... PERFECT!
I found this channel in late December. Oh Glorious Binge Watching has now come to an end as I'm fully caught up. :( As for the plywood (or anything else for that matter) Ruskin on prices:
“It's unwise to pay too much, but it's worse to pay too little. When
you pay too much, you lose a little money - that's all. When you pay
too little, you sometimes lose everything, because the thing you
bought was incapable of doing the thing it was bought to do. The
common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a
lot - it can't be done. If you deal with the lowest bidder, it is well
to add something for the risk you run, and if you do that you will
have enough to pay for something better.”
In the early 70’s my dad taught me a few wood working rules. #1. 2x4 studs are .50 so buy extra, you will use them. #2 use marine grade plywood, it’s only 20 bucks a sheet and it’s worth it. I do wish these rules stayed true.
so you get 3 drawers and she gets 5...smart guy! :P Stoked to see the electronics/etc coming online.
My hat goes off to anyone who can still smile while standing next to that epic to-do list!
Thanks for the video. Look forward to these on Sundays. I'd remove the top drawer and turn it into a shelf as it will be hard to get into. I'd also turn the two bottom drawers into one larger drawer so you have somewhere to put those inevitably taller than 7" items that wouldn't fit otherwise.
Why do only 10% of his subscribers actually thumbs-up the videos?... kinda sad. He does such good work.
What no fancy lighting for the drawers and closet space? Looks a little dark in there...Always entertaining thanks Mads
This fall I bought a Westwind 35 Nauta. I will not be doing as much work on it as you are doing on your boat, but you sure are an inspiration! Thanks!
Top drawer seems a bit high to be useful. Maybe just add doors to make into shelves.
Exactly what I wanted to add
@@gadenhertog and me! ha ha
Maybe he can mount the upper drawers upside-down so that a shorter person can access them from the bottom.
And me too, same comment. In fact, I would say top 2-3 drawers are basically unusable, and I would suggest converting that upper most section into just a cabinet for larger folded items or to hold a removeable storage bin.
Remove the top three and it is a usable hanging space or bulk storage.
Gonna pull the drawers down on your head before you can see inside.
Thought only two shelves would be enough, seems a bit overkill to put in that many. More and more wasted space when you keep adding pieces and clearance.
Still always defer to Mads.
Completely off topic: I noticed that this video has about a 20% upvote rate, that's double what most videos on UA-cam seem to get. Good job! Says great things about your content and your community engagement.
Your videos always fly by. I look forward to them every Sunday. Very interesting content, and I really enjoy your personal touch! Thanks for sharing your adventure.
Funny when i signed on a sailboat for a crewing position ; the skipper said everything i would need should fit in one dufflebag !
& I'm sure Mads' kit will ;-)
For a few short weeks or a couple of months that is certainly the case.
For long-term cruising on your own boat, when you no longer own a home on dirt, things are very different.
This is especially true when cruising in different climates, including colder ones. For a few weeks in the Caribbean you can get by with practically nothing. Then can you go home to your closet full of clothes when you are done playing sailor crew.
Hooking up the angry pixies really put a smile on your face Mads👏😂
No doors on the long term storage. I would put up some type of fabric that can breath. It would suck to open up your winter clothes to find them covered in mold.
Either that or get those vacuum bags for long term stowage.
Awesome dude ! Love your videos. A few suggestions if I may. 1. Grease your wheels extra, on drawer slides. 2. Definitely get moisture absorbers every place you can, especially behind your electric panels. 3. If your not going to solder your wire ends, at least heat shrink them. Navionics look great, consider a large enough area for computer/editing work. Cheers 👍👍🏅💚
You are just that guy that does everything well. Envious but immensley impressed.👍
Thank you so much!
@@SailLife Everything is looking great Mads! But don't go crazy trying to meet an artificial deadline. Take the time to do the work without compromising the comfort and safety of the boat.
Mads, for ventilation under the madras in the v-berth, you could make a raised "false" floor (50mm?) with ventilationholes in it.
I think the funniest thing you’ve ever said was to refer to houses being square!
I do like the mix of projects, I take it that the fwd cabin is going to be painted as well? That ought to give you more light and a bigger feeling….
Looks like we are now into the 'Oh so Glorious Gluing' phase of construction. Less dust, just as much work! While 'soldered' connections are the 'Holy Grail' of terminations, crimping with di-electric grease in each connector is pretty much equal as far as connectivity and corrosion resistance. None of my 'greased' connectors corroded or failed over ten years of sailing. It's such a cheap form of insurance, it's not worth skipping, 8P
Crimp is the modern standard for terminal connection. Good enough for NASA, good enough for me. I put a band of masking tape around the terminal to secure it to the wire during crimping. Less chance of the lug shifting.
A stranded cable shouldn't be soldered when getting crimped. It can add stress and worse it reduced the contact surface
That is correct. I have a hydraulic crimper from Temco, six tons of pressure for up to 2/0
Always look forward to your videos. I look forward to the day my wife and I buy our sailboat.
Amazing work Mads. A joy to watch.
I look forward to watching this each week.
I love what you do here I reference your stuff for my refit on Sailing Samantas your channel and boatworks today are my top two! Thank you for what you do!
Anyone else watch the video more then once?! Next Sunday seems so far away LOL
Fantastic
One of your better videos in a while Mads, good idea with mixing the content. Keep it up👍
Lookin' good!!!!!
High quality as usual :-) The new divices are real fun. Thanks!
It's getting exciting! ⛵
Great video!!
Excellent progress!
Nice job
Great watch again 👍..
Great video tonight, thanks Mads! 👏🏻
Looks good.
You should keep a plaque size panel from one of Athena's original panels and write something on it. Maybe a special date (your engagement etc), or a special "Saying" and mount is somewhere inside as a momento.
That will be a great solution in the end. Can't wait to see the finished forward cabin.
Great work mads! Regulair best part of my sunday.
Crimping is ABYC Standard. Soldering makes a hard shell that can crack. Add an adhesive heatshrink wrap for extra protection and coat terminals and lugs with an anti-corrosion agant such as petroleum jelly or dielectric grease.
i feel like a apprentice, u explaine soo good and im learning so much, takk
I appreciate your explanations. Very helpful
Yes, work down washing hands. Relax and watching your work Mads. Thanks you.
Sunday is great again 🙏
Mads, great video as usual.
Looking good legend
Thank you for another awesome video Mads 😊👍
Nice Mix ... 👍🏼
Really like that you did several different projects. Makes the videos really entertaining.
Another great video; I just wish they were longer.
Whatever happened to the head? Did you finish it, if so, there was no video. The workmanship was beautiful. Naturally I'd love to see the finished product!
Wooohoooo! A return of the "O' Glorious Sanding'!!
Great progress Mads; can't wait to see the Li install. Cheers.
20 minutes... That was a fast paced video !! Beautiful !
Nice video! Looking good
It's looking awesome Mads, can't wait to see you sailing it in the South Pacific!
That's a lot of work you got done this week. Seeing the electronic doodads being connected and working is really satisfying.
It's all interesting, and the information feedback is invaluable, as much for me as for Athena and her rebuild! Great Video.
I liked how you mixed it up also
Mads.... such glorious spiffiness!
Nice going on project's
Ahhhhh 'Thickened Epoxy'... Linh from 'Onboard Lifestyle'..... Just loves 'Thickened Epoxy' It makes her very merry!
She sure does! 🥃
There is a reason my ancestors left Northern Europe for the southeastern US a few hundred years ago. Screw that cold weather!
Now, Mads, where are you going to put YOUR clothes😉
@Hannes Coetzee *_ WHERE Boetie, WHERE, nie 'were' nie _* Ha Ha
He is going to tow Obelix behind him :)
Next to the engine, of course. Or, possibly in the technical compartment.
He'll keep his clothes wherever it keeps his wife to be happy. Yes I've been married awhile.
@@kb1esx Haha, I get that impression. :)
You should add a Light on the liner
Directly above and close to the drawers, this would help a great deal.
I have watched many of your videos. How was I not subscribed?! Fixed that problem right away.
Excellent work! Great to see Athena in the water again! Re-watching your vids, that “All Videos” playlist is awesome!
I have been following the progress for years and with the exception of when you talk about Ava I have never heard you get as excited when your displays fired up. I can't wait to see the complete network up and running.
Really interesting, the versatility of the data bus coupled to the Garmin display is impressive. Thanks
Nice!
looks great thanks for sharing and keep up the great work. see you next week stay safe and enjoy life
Superb. See you.
"Somewhat extensive refit" is definitely an understatement for this project! But I'm enjoying every minute of it. Fair winds for 2021!
YES, VENTILATION.
Well that was a great fun video
For the upper one or two drawers you could cut one side down to the glider rail to make the contents visible ans accessible from the side.
Mads it is so awesome that you've started working in the V-berth, you're getting so close to the end. Good luck and keep up the good work!
hi the boat is looking very good
That top set of drawers will be hard to access or see into. That would be a nice place for a set of shoe racks or blankets or something with a lifting door versus a drawer.
Pretty dang spiffy video, old boy!! Thanks!!
Loved this video (as all the previous ones). I like the fact that you mixed wood work with electronics, I found the NMEA network is impressive!
I think your clothing locker will stand up to a cat 4 hurricane :) Pretty Dang Sturdy! Cheers from PEI Canada, Bryan
Nice work on the drawers Mads. You had a regular production line going there. Definitely do the T-shirt with the 'Friends don't let friends buy cheap plywood." Enjoy all of your videos no matter what you do. Take care, stay well and my best to you and Ava,
I’m not a sailer! more of a land lover, but I find your Vlogs really interesting and enjoyable to watch. 🤓
I agree with you regarding crimping high amperage connectors. I have found soldered connectors that the solder has heated and ran out of during use.
