    This week I get started installing super spiffy flooring aboard Athena. It's called NautikFlör. More information here: www.nautikflor.com/

      I was reminded of Liberace -- wasn't it he who claimed (with evident justification) that his guiding principle in all aspects of life was that "Too much of a good thing is exactly the right amount"?
      I think Eva's right to imply that mindset seems to have become the norm in the modern day US, although possibly she's young enough to think it's just human nature...

      Thanks for the advice. I cannot see, that you pushed the panels together while glueing? Did you only use the click system on the long/lengthwise edges?
      I am about to glue down today ....so a bit 'nervous' 😂 and thinking about the technique every minute. Good Winds

    • @SailLife

      @@roaringforties2007 Good luck :) All I did was glue the entire underside. Insert a panel at an angle and push it down, forcing it to lock in place. I hope that makes sense :) You'll do great! It's very easy to install.

    Just wanted to say that this is the best produced video so far since becoming a couple's sailing channel. Eva was hysterical in her honesty! And Mads of course came through with a super spiffy result! Loved it and I think it is great to see you two figuring out the tough transition from lonely guy DIY channel to couple's sailing channel. I wish you two all the best in the world, and happy holidays.

    Mads, a score cut first when cutting laminates with a circular saw, Makita do a panel saw specifically for this but a regular circular saw is quite adequate. You can also get a reverse cut jigsaw blade for worktops to avoid any possibility of scraggy edges. DC-DC converters use power so would have used a relay instead. We have two similar DC-DC converters for USB powering - 24-12v reduction and they have been working well so far (18 months use). The floor and lighting looks great, but it pales into insignificance against the Xmas lights! Well done Eva, and reading the instruction manual was inspirational, who'd have thought to do that, well non of us blokes at any rate! Great video.
