    I could not stop grinning and smiling at the end of this episode, when you played part of that original first episode. All the memories from the past few years came flowing past. It has been such an enjoyable ride. Thank you Mads for taking me/us along with you. I hope to meet you one day! Cheers mate

    Congratulations. Just watch it won't be long and you will be freaking out over 100K. Your channel is growing by leaps and bounds because you offer the
    public something of worth in your process of rehabbing Athena. They are well edited and always interesting. You are perfectionist ...something we all could take a lesson from. Good luck and have loads of fun visiting Ava.

    Great channel Mades. 50k without clickbait is pretty impressive. It’s hard to believe you have been doing this so long. It seems like yesterday you were walking around some city scared to shoot video.

    Mads. Since discovering your channel we have followed you and watched everything you have done. Like you we have restored some old boats both power and sail. Now retired (early) we just love watching you going through the same process of whats the best or right thing to do. Now embellished with a love story to-boot, we always make sure we have wifi for sunday nights. Currently sitting out the Med storms in southern Spain, to continue our journey and adventures we follow similar dreams to you. Enjoy the trip over the pond. Sail safe, Ant & Cid (SV Impavidus) xx

    It was great to see Jökull again Mads. Congratulations on reaching 50K subscribers! Thank you for another fantastic video, I know you felt like you were yammering on but it helps me to understand your thinking and it helps me with my own planning (which I am horrible at).

    Mads I have followed you from the early days and it was great to see that clip of you Sailing.Your video production and ‘presenting’ performance has moved on massively.
    Looks like a sensible winter project plan. Is it not possible to get access to a heated workshop space to build the new rudder ?

    Re the joker, can you not just ignore the bad ones and sister them with new ones ? A common enough practice on wooden boats to sister broken frames or ribs

  • @WreckDiver99
    @WreckDiver99 6 років тому

    $500USD per year...STORAGE essentially? DIRT CHEAP. When I had my Boat(s), the CHEAP one ran me $1200 PER YEAR in STORAGE. Oh, you want a slip (for 6 months) that's another $2100 PER YEAR. When I had 2 boats I was paying $1200 for the one boat on the hard (outside and in shrink wrap), and the other was $1900/year in storage (it was a much larger boat), and $2400/year for a slip....Boating where I am is EXPENSIVE. :(

  • @fritzonvespa
    @fritzonvespa 6 років тому +1

    Congratulations on the 50K ! Well deserved. The bulkheads have always disturbed me a little......well not so much the bulkhead, but the bisected portlight. I've sometimes mused at the possibility of adding a matching opaque half portlight at 90 degrees on the bulkhead with a silicone bead connecting the two. It would add even more light into the new enlarged head while maintaining privacy........and reduce my waking up during the night , in a cold sweat screaming, "the portlight , the portlight" !!!!!..... It frightens my wife !! :-) :-) Enjoy your break Mads.....don't think about the boat so much, enjoy every moment with your lovely lady. Cheers. Chris.

  • @jchase5408
    @jchase5408 6 років тому

    Mads, it's been amazing following along on your journey. I became a fan after you joined Alfy for a trip to Vancouver Cove... I've learned a ton from watching your DIY's, there's been a few projects that I've successfully tackled that I might not have attempted if I hadn't seen you demonstrate them first, so THANK YOU!!! There is one thing I have to ask though... PLEASE tell me that you, Ava, and Jorkull (spelling?...) still make time to leave the dock on Obelix once in awhile! Maybe an upcoming Sail Life video should just be you guys enjoying some sailing! Anyhow, thanks again for the videos, you're awesome.

  • @marciaweilenman6618
    @marciaweilenman6618 5 років тому

    We have been binge watching and #200 is currently playing! We love your personality and dedication to proper work and not cutting corners! You might be interested in subscribing to SV Basik's Onboard Lifestyle. You may be further along with the refit than I know because I am not caught up on your videos, but I think you will find that Teal and his family work on their catamaran in a style that I think you will enjoy. Other DIY channels we watch are Tula's Endless Summer, Sailing Project Atticus, Learning the Lines, and Boatworks Today. We also enjoy Gone with the Wynn's (they give lots of technical info such at their new internet access video and they have beautiful videos), Sailing Nahoa (great fisherman) and another "boat tech/internet" channel is Technomadia (their great loop series). We can't wait to catch up to present time on videos- but will be sad that we won't have tons of your videos to watch each evening!

    @peterdavis4816 5 років тому

    Excellent channel Mads. I'm a late subscriber (followed a link from Andy at Boatworks Today) and have been binge watching for the past month or so. Now I'm up to date I'm going to find it very difficult to go down to one episode a week!!

    for the JOKER... if you can reach the outer skin of the hull. you may also want to laminate wood strips into structural epoxy bonded members to stiffen the hull instead of redoing the whole double skin+foam injection. dirty quick and effective

  • @stefanomoretti3664
    @stefanomoretti3664 5 років тому

    Crazy price for your 38 ft on the ground. Here in Italy we would be paying much more for a much less attractive place and ALL DIY jobs are now forbidden... If you want to get an accurate picture of why such an inventive country is sinking, now you've got it.

  • @verynearlyaboutsailing8114
    @verynearlyaboutsailing8114 6 років тому +2

    Well done on getting to 50K - I don't think I know anyone who does boat DIY who doesn't watch Sail Life. And great to see Yokul again - interesting to see how you will do any chartwork if that becomes his favourite spot on Athena as well.

  • @kevinsmyth2744
    @kevinsmyth2744 6 років тому

    Hi Mads. Love your channel and the easy going way you deal with the many issues you come across during your extensive refit. Just passing on info on a channel you may be interested in. The channel is called 'Sailing Creo'. It's an English couple who bought a Warrior 38 done some work to her and are currently sailing her in Scotland. Hope you enjoy.

  • @nssdesigns
    @nssdesigns 6 років тому

    So the boat you live on is fiberglass? Wondering how cold it gets there and how thick the ice is in the winter. In Finland it can get easily -25°C sometimes more with the ice at 40-60cm thick. Is it so in Denmark? How does the boat handle this crushing ice? How does it handle humidity etc. It's inconceivable to me you could live on a sailboat here during February.

  • @jerryf609
    @jerryf609 6 років тому

    Instead of 'gluing' a new ruther, why not send the old shaft to your welder? One off AISI 316L steel plate on either side of the reinforcements, you will have a ruther that will cause no further problems.

    Congratulation on 50K. Now that you're such a big time UA-camr with 50 K subscribers you will probably never get around to reading my post but here goes nothing. 1, could you find a small heated shed or one that you could heat for a workshop that you could use to build you rudder in? 2. Could you design your spare head to be used for storage and still retain the ability to use it in an emergency situation in case your primary head suffers a failure and you are waiting for repair parts?

    Tool tour video!!
    I think it 'd be good idea if you put together a tool tour video. I know you talk about tools you use every now and then, but a dedicated video about all the essential tools you use and can't live without would be a great resource for anyone out there maybe dreaming to tackle a huge project like this. Keep up the good work.

    So I live in North East Ohio, which is known to have all four seasons in a matter of hours. But what I would like to know is how you deal with ice and snow? Do you cover the boat or just keep on going? Where you are docked, do you have to deal with the water freezing?

    I must say, the reason for having hit 50K subscribers is because you have such an easy going manner when describing your projects. For someone whose second language is English, you put a lot of English speaking people to shame. So clear in your presentation and explanation of all the work that you carry out. Great videos Mads, and I am so pleased to not only be a subscriber, but also a Patron. Long may your glorious and spiffy project last. (Although I can't wait for the end of the project to see how well Athena turns out).

    • @SakuraNyan
      @SakuraNyan 2 роки тому

      Probably partly supply and demand. There's low demand and somewhat ample supply of space in the yard, so the amount they can charge is fairly low. Probably some other factors, because from what I recall from other videos it's not very expensive to rent a slip in Skive, so it probably makes some sense that the yard would be fairly cheap.
      While the demand for shedspace seems much higher (based on the videos) than supply, driving the cost of renting one up. (And I gather a fair number of those sheds are rented somewhat long term.)
