I can see why you feel this as a setback, but look at it this way:
When you are done, you have a technically brand new and robust new boat that will serve you for years to come. You will not be surprised in a strange port (or worse: at sea!) by a boat (your home) that is partially falling apart and requiring extensive maintenance. I think it will prove to be a blessing in disguise.
Indeed it will! Not to mention the considerable risks of respiratory infection!
I understand the frustrations encountered.. But on the other hand, you found it and repaired it..Just no viewing back anymore.. It's done and the entire interior has been looked at and repaired if required..
Job well done..Keep up the good work..
So true. Much better to have found it and fixed it. Fantastic job as usual. You two rock.
I love Aladino’s comments, they’re so funny and right the point 👍😂
....and in flawless English.
@@777rogerf One of his fluent languages spoken.
Europeans are much more educated than North Americans. Me included, despite knowing 4 languages.
Your confidence in your craft will be very strong, she’ll serve you well as a return favor. Bravo
The man is an amazing craftsman and boat builder, I like the way they don't let things get them down and just keep moving forward, no matter what kind of dung life throws at them.
Another masterclass in video episode storytelling. I'm convinced that you planted the mould just to give us another emotional story (just kidding but well done)
😂With Aladino sense of humor and Maya storytelling gift I would not be surprised.😜
That mold looked like my sack of potatoes I had completely forgotten about. Another week and they would have become a new form of life and sneaked out of that cupboard and attacked me in the middle of the night. But really, did you guys rebuild your companionway hatch? If so, was there an episode you could show regarding it? This was a great episode. The propellor shaft logic and all that. Onward Christian soldiers!
Thus the expression “leave no stone unturned” you may have found the final area of rot.
So now is the time to move forward with vigor. You guys are succeeding, carry on.
Quality craftsmanship, doing it right the first time and like John Ekins said, "Leave no stone unturned." An ounce of prevention is worth a metric ton of cure on the ocean.
Who is John Ekins? I looked online... nothing, and with the phrase used since the oracle at Delphy.

Solid stoic reaction!! I’m so glad you found that mess and was able to remove it to create the “blank canvas”. It gives you peace of mind for your voyage, too! Bravo
Was führt ein Mist… und wieviel zusätzliche, unerwartete Arbeit. Leider auch oft keine Überraschung. „Chapeau“ für Euren Enthusiasmus und Fleiß. Haltet durch, es entsteht etwas absolut Einzigartiges und ein meisterliches Schmuckstück. Grüße vom Bodensee
I love the positive outlook. It's what makes these videos worth seeing. It's ultimately about the people, and why would we watch people that are likeable?
When you found the standing water and mold, my heart went out to both of you! Now, the boat is better off because of your find! I'm so sorry for the setback, but now it will be better! God Bless you both! Great video, music, and thank you for bringing us along on not only the good, but the setbacks as well. It's all part of the journey! Even when it stinks!!! Appreciate you both, and I'm always learning something new from both of you! Stay Safe!
All things happen for a reason. A great opportunity to make it perfect and not settle for good enough. Press on.
Aladino seems to be the most stoic person I have ever seen :D
I watch every week without fail, I have no choice, Aladino glued me to this chair years ago, and the bathroom situation is now not good so please come and release me, I promise I will continue watching.🙃😉😊
You two have such a wonderful, positive, attitude. Keep up the great work. I will follow you to the water!!!
Love your story telling and greetings from Pennsylvania, USA. Good to see quality taking the lead
its nice to see how considerate you both are of the rest of the boat yard - good on ya for that
Great workmanship. Your channel is a refreshing changing from the dronings of some others.
You two are doing such an excellent job on your new home. I know that it will be fabulous. You are both such an inspiration. Thank you for all you do.
It is good that you discovered the mold and source of the water damage. Magic Carpet II is going to be better than new when you are finished restoring her and I have learned a lot about what goes into building a sailing vessel.
Dine is the best 👌. I hope to meet you one day.
Cleaning the bottom of the tube is easy if you make a "belt" of sandpaper with the abrasive to the inside and then slide it over the tube and over a hole saw with some duct tape on it on your cordless drill. It's a bit clunky but works well enough to do what you need there. It works best using a right angle drill but will work either way. Keep up the good work and keep your heads up!
Hang in there. With any big project there is always setbacks. But now you know that section is good too and you dont have to think about it for a long time. Keep up the good work.
Sorry to hear about the trapped water discovery. Better to find and fix now. Welcome to project spread. That's how boat projects usually go. We have no doubt you two will make it better than new once finished. Hang in there.
Sorry to see your latest set back ... but now all so clean . You both continue to be a massive inspiration to us on our minor refit... Very kind regards Mike & Jan Waters
Glad you were able to deal with that mold.
I really enjoy both your storytelling, and Aladino's helpful instruction. You are my favourite sailing UA-camrs! We are working on our own project called Turtle Crossing (Hoping to sail the world with our son starting from Lake Ontario), and I've learned a lot from watching your style of videos. I also have a goal to sail the lochs in France someday on our little 32 foot Bayfield. Thank you for the inspiration!
A good attitude in times like these give you the best outcome 👌
The part of your story that I love is no matter what you two come across how you work together so well. Am I the only one that thinks there is nothing nicer than a beautiful woman working in a pair of jeans?
Great job on acknowledging how discouraging this was and then getting on with fixing it. It really does look so clean now.
Maya, Best Music on any UA-cam channel. Both of you are inspirational in your attitudes toward this refit. Find a problem, grind it out, (literally) and move on. You got this!
It is tough to run into setbacks. We have all probably experienced this sort of thing at some point or another. My experience tells me that once you overcome the setback, you are stronger and bigger on the other side of the it. There is always a silver lining, something good that can be held close and added to the long list of what makes life so great and worth while. Love your project. My experience is different, yet the core issues are the same ones we all come against, each in their own flavor. Fair winds and following seas to you! 🙂
wow so sorry guys, tough break! but hey Aladino to the rescue!!
The darkest hour is is before the dawn. Best wishes.
Keep on it Guys. In the End you will know you have a very Solid Blue Water Yatch. Kia Kaha. (Stand Strong) Aroha Nui. ( Big Love)
It’s the nature of restoring old boats that the jobs we leave until another day trip us up, my experience is that almost everything needs changing.
Very a talented pair you are, I hope you long continue your life’s journey together. And what a Chanel to become so engrossed in. Thank you.
I have taken on another trailer sailer project with similar problems foam and plywood. After 3 days grinding I just felt compelled to send you some encouragement. Enjoying your work tremendously.
You two bounce back from setbacks so well! Carry on!
Just found you two, absolutely love your channel. I have subscribed and am binge watching. ❤👍👍
So good. I Love your work! I love your impeccable English and your style of telling your story. Cheers to you both!
I've recently discovered your channel and have been binge watching I am blown away by your masterful video productions your attention to even the seemingly most mondaine tasks and through it all up ave prevailed
It's become apparent to t that the common denominator in a of this is the two of you I don't think I've ever in my 80 years of life seen such love and caring that you two have for each other and by extension what your able to accomplish kudos
Sorry for the fat thumb typos
Condensation from the fridge? Water then collecting near the engine mounts/base.
Oh I feel so gutted for you! But you are right just have to put your head down and carry on. Full respect for Dino getting in there with the grinder and I love how supportive you are off each other. Really wonderful to see and makes me think you will see this through and will have a lovely, pretty, seaworthy and durable vessel!!! Love the videos too!!!
With Aledino around no obstacle is to hard to handle!! Never the less, I would be frustrated too, but like you say finally it will be better this way. Keep up the good work :-)
You guys are troopers. You will be rewarded in the long run. Keep up the solid work!
So sorry for the extra work in the galley, but so glad you found it now! You two are amazing! Keep up the good work and soon you will be sailing in the blue water! Can’t wait!
Been really enjoying watching your progress throughout this project on Magic Carpet II, you guys do absolutely top notch work! She will be a work of art when completed!! Also, just recently realized that a lovely Cape George named Galatea moors right behind our 1988 Sabre 42 in the harbor we have our mooring here in Maine. I snapped a picture of it thinking of you guys today!
Well done! Set backs are always unexpected, so pushing through and meeting the unexpected head on...bravo MC crew!
Great work.
I know it was a real bummer that you found the water and that nasty mold. Be glad you found it before you launched the boat. You could have been at sea or at an isolated or primitive island dealing with a catastrophic boat problem, especially as it involved where the engine mounts were located. Keep the faith. You two are doing a wonderful thing!
You guys are so positive (on camera!!), it's an awesome mountain you are climbing but I just know you will adapt and overcome. Holdfast
#1 in video, boat work, and music. Thank you!
My goodness, what a shock, you have my sympathy, great that you have taken that in your stride. Best of everything to you both. Gpx
Well you could say that it was a step backward, but I truly believe it was 3 steps foreword. The reason I say that, is because you will now have the self assurance that every nook & cranny was refinished, & that should put your hearts & minds at ease… I am still cheering you on! Thank you for sharing!
really enjoying your videos and I will be cheering for Kirsten in the GGR.
A set back but yet another challenge that I am sure you both will get through with flying colours. I am positive that the new galley will be a huge improvement on the old. With Aladino at the helm nothing is impossible.
Guys. Thank you for another great video in the Project series. I am feeling the pain with you at the moment but am certain that it will soon disappear and the memory will be a wonderful point of discussion when you meet up with other like-minded refit sailors. A big congrats on your perseverance and ability to work as a great team. P. S. I look forward to hearing that you may one day visit us In the “land down-under”. Great sailing here too. 😄 Please stay safe and continue to enjoy your journey. 👍👍
I bet you will also be confident that the entire areas are done new with your care and precision. Any options to sell the boat will make this all very worthwhile.
Your boat will truly be "Well Rebuilt" very nice job both of you!
keep up the good work ... this is a super great project, but it is in the hands of two very competend young people ... Your both amazing ! 👍👍👍
I would feel very good about finding this balsa. Your boat is going to be that much better by fixing all of the issues that you find now. Keep up the good work!
👍👌👏 I absolutely love CAD stuff (cardboard design)! 😁
Possibly condensation from proximity to fridge? What I do know for certain is that you will fix it and move on. Even though it is a pain in the behind, you two always get it figured out. Best to you.
Thanks for sharing your lives with us weekly . An your both amazing ppl an I thank you for sharing
Well done,You guys seemed to have handled it much better than I would have.👍👍
Me too !
In most sports which I know very little about the team gathers together into a huddle very similar to a giant hug to cheer each other on. I and I'm sure most of your loyal viewers are cheering you on in a similar fashion albeit from a far. ♥
Love Aladino’s sense of humour. You are both awesome! Wow, what a great job.
The boat is looking really great. Minor set back in the galley but in the end you will have a much better boat for it. I have been doing the same thing with a Bristol 40. When I built my cold box I used 2" foam sheets on the vertical faces for a total of 6" thick. On the curved part of the hull I used Total Boats two part flotation foam that you mix and then pour into place. It expands like crazy and you can do multiple pours on top of itself. Needs warmth to kick off, I used a ceramic heater since I was doing it in the winter. Worked out great.
Making those cardboard models of the batteries took me back to when I was an electronics packaging engineer working shipboard equipment and fitting components into odd shaped spaces. You can model it on the computer, but nothing beats real world objects that you can move around to determine their best location.
And to be sure, a far sight better than lugging around the *actual* batteries :)
You do good work! Fortunately, it was only a day or 2. So much better for the long term.
You two are an inspiration.
Blessing in disguise.
Just a bump in the road .found it fixed it move ahead.you two are incredible at staying positive and your work impeccable! Thanks for taking us along with you on this journey
Fair winds ⛵️
As always you two provide well composed video's that for those of us thinking of taking on older boat restoration, well it gives one pause and yet also gives a master class in the ups and downs and solutions to the entire process! The massive amount of knowledge you're passing on is to be highly noted. Anyone following all of your project can witness the truth of the step by step issues and solutions, the materials and amounts! The emotions not withstanding which we are sure to be raw at times, you two balance one another with poise and I adored the time lapse and music as watching that portion was like watching a ballet of sorts! I say that the peace of mind you both will have from knowing every square inch of your new home and having rebuilt it yourselves, i feel will be priceless in your future travels! Thank you both so very much for these masterclasses in vessel reconstruction! (Also your mast is seated dirrectly on the keel?)
Thank you Claris:)
And yes our mast is directly on The lead keel but like always it will need inspecting. The floor is made out of one piece now and I intend to make an inspection opening.
When you're in the middle of an ocean, the fact that you checked ALL the balsa will feel good.
That boat is lucky to have you.
I'd be crushed by that. You guys are strong.
It is a nice boat to make it your own. It will be just the way you want it to be in the end😉
I don’t know if’s true. I hope it won’t be like a house you’ve built. When it’s ready you find thousand things you could have made better 😉
Vessels are an evolution. Perfection is elusive as all is balance/compromise. Those choices are your own.
So glad u2 are taking this setback in stride. Great job and keep us posted. THX!!!
Using a cv joint requires a minimum misalignment angle so it will self lubricate and operate properly. As someone else noted, you will also need a thrust bearing aft of the cv joint. Great work and extremely enjoyable videos.
If you look at the Python Drive CV system (and others) you’ll see that the thrust bearing is integral
Great progress, because you guys have done everything properly and nearing the end of pulling this apart it was a nasty suprise to find this rot but doing everything the way you have done the boat will be perfect and will last a very long time. The next phase of the rebuild will be more fun as it will be lost of painting and fitout . Although Aladino has some more figuring out to do with the engine and power setup.
Can't wait to see more next week.
Really enjoy watching your project progress, thanks for sharing it!
Thank YOU so much Doug!! So sorry I didn't see this sooner -- We really appreciate it! -Maya and Aladino
I seriously wanna cry seeing that much rot wow
Well, now you won't have any areas you need to be concerned about now! Happy for you that you found it and were able to deal with it at this point in the refit.
No matter what crops up Aladino and Maya will over come!! The unfailing attention to the smallest detail is a enviable attribute of this awesome boat rebuilding couple. I believe that "Magic Carpet II" will be the best Cape George on the oceans when they are finished.
Vastly easier to do this on the hard, in your shop, in an area where you have everything for the repair. You could have found this in some remote corner of the world that would make this repair infinitely harder.
Another good video by the master video makers! Thank you!
Disappointing for you but you will feel so much better having completed it and the confidence it will give you in the boat. I wish I had a boat built by Aladino.
That rotten balsa is a real pain in the neck. That said that should be the last rotten area in the boat. Now you have a clean hull and you can focus on rebuild. I understand your disappointment because that last rotten area was not expected but things often don't go the way we wish they do.
Magic Carpet II will be a beautiful sailboat, eventually.
Wow, great attitude,might as well just drive in and kick butt. Great video. 🤩Thank you for sharing. 🤓
Ooh what a setback! Looking forward to the rest of the videos! 🙏❤️
Disappointment taken like the troopers you are, the refit will end up being even better.
A set back you say !? A disaster to me. OMG ! 😳
Well, as Frans wrote here, at least it's done !
And you will work (hard again, no doubt) on a clean base.
A cold beer and a decent, relaxed meal you both deserve, no doubt ! 👏
On the up saide, good that you found it now and dealt with it!!! :-)
It will sail so well, so beautifully . . . then it was the right boat. Ya !!! 🥳😃
Magic Carpet 2 deserves a new name of her own. Endurance.
Yes, a set back but the end result will be outstanding, as is all your work.
I guess the rot/water had worked upwards by capillary action from the 'floating engine mounts' as the stain was broad at the bottom and narrower at the top. I for one can't wait to see the progress..!!
Well done you two..!! 🥰
impressive work and attitude! Thanks for sharing your journey !
Inspiring, entertaining and compelling. All power to you 👍
So, UA-cam inserts a 20+ minute commercial for a different sailing/refit channel. Ain't that a kick in the head.
