When I paint there is paint everywhere, including on myself. This week I was painting all kind of scratches and rustspots on my boat (steel 36ft kets from 1956). I used the trick I saw Aladino do in some videos ( a piece of tape over the tincan to remove to much paint from the brush so the tin stays clean) And tried do do it relaxed, so no hurry (new concept for me but I am partly retired and live on it, so time enough) and after I was done painting there only is paint at spots where it needed to be. Keeping the tin can clean kept my hands clean while moving the can around the deck and no paint drops on all the places the tincan was put down (and then ends up under my feet and from that all over the deck...)
So thanks Aladino for that great tip. Learned a lot from watching him.
@pa4tim
Me too! I'm the MESSIEST painter that I know. I decided many years ago that I'm just an idiot when it comes to painting. It's ok when I've finished and cleaned everything up but the process is always such a MESS!
Maya's voice is like a session of meditation :) awesome naration. loved the video.
@Max C
Her voice is one reason that I began watching this channel.
So calm and calming.
And then her MUSIC!
So different from every other sailing channel.
Find the vid where Maya gets "angry" with some idiot comments about Aladino's command of English. Haters gotta hate.
But her reaction is so mild.
They are so suited for each other and create wonderful vids.
Un my country there is an astrologist lady called Maya!!! Lol lol a good meditation!!!
summer of sailing - you were born blessed, literally
“Echt Nederlands bier” got me🤣🤣🤣
Hahaha I love it when Aladino is speaking Dutch. It is pretty close honestly.
These little films are the highlight of my friday afternoon.
It does my heart good to see two young people having fun, laughing at each other and themselves. May it always be that way for them.
Magic Carpet is a truly lovely boat, whoever ends up buying her will indeed be fortunate, can’t wait to see her back on the water.
Don`t apologise. I love your refit/boatwork videos, and I will bet so do a lot of your other viewers.
First time I've seen a boat channel actually use the proper primer for a quality sealant. If the windows ever leak (I doubt they ever will) it won't be a sealant issue. Well done.
Adds to the issue I am not aware of on chandler I go to on the West coast that stocks. Much is due to planning ahead.
What strikes me most is your love for each other. I believe you two are soulmates who will last forever.
sometimes when Aladino says something and you get all giggly I hear it as love
Great to see MC1 and can’t wait for her re-splash! Alidino is the most precise technician and who ever gets her is lucky she had such a knowledgeable captain and mate. Stay cool stay loving and enjoy life
Good to see you back on M.C.1 and look forward to seeing your Scandinavian Voyage vlogs. Fair Winds.
"Time for een biertje" - "écht Nederlands bier" - "Hertog Jan in a Heineken glass!"
You two just vastly improved my day with that scene! Thank you and welcome back!
there is something amazingly satisfying and almost mystifying from watching a craftsman in the zone
Amazing attention to detail and knowledge has me enthralled every time.
I had forgotten just what a beautiful boat Magic Carpet was ! It’ll be nice to see you two sailing!!
Fair winds ⛵️
I really admire the patience and precision you worked with when installing the windows. I am looking forward to seeing the next episodes. Good luck! en veel succes!
Your eye for detail & application of precision in approaching your projects & tasks has led us to now use a new term in our household.......we try to do things "Aladino style"! 😊
As much as you want to return to the water, for me it is a pleasure to watch this meticulous and joyous progress. The way you two bounce of each other adds to each edition as well.
A slightly off white is a good choice for the decks, it reflects the sun yet is less dazzling than pure white. I have cream tinted decks and for the boat they're a good choice, and they don't show up marks as readily as white.
I approve of your choice of non-skid colour; the next owner will benefit from a light colour if he/she chooses to take Magic Carpet to the Med. Darker colours and bright sunshine make for a deck that can burn you.
Maya - you should be scoring movies. The music choices in your episodes are superb.
You really got that "g" right. Must be some Swiss inheritance.
Happy to see that you are back in Europe. It is delightful to see Dino and his “Swissness” regarding perfection. Very enjoyable episode. Bon voyage..
Cheers again from the NSW OUTBACK!
I felt like I was watching Bob Ross. “It’s your world. Just put a little sikaflex sausage right here. You can do whatever you want.” 🖌🎨
Happy trees. Don't forget the happy trees.
You can do it good. Or you can do it perfect. But then comes Aladino and does it even better than perfect. If I will ever be in need of a boat builder, I know who I'm gonna call first!
It's Magic Carpet day! Wow great opening soundtrack.
Hey Al you have a fabulous mind & temperament. You two
Seem to be a perfect match. May you have
Fair winds on your upcoming sail I'm
Looking forward to
Your sailing videos
She is beautiful and is looking swankier by the day! It is funny how small she looks after becoming so used to seeing her bigger, younger sister.
You two look very relaxed. I actually enjoy watching u remove the tape 😅 Your sense of humour adds to these fantastic vlogs. Looking forward to getting out on water with u 🇨🇦
Maya the quality of your cinematographic work is beautiful, your voice and diction are as soothing as a listening to Chopin. Aladino you are a craftsman with the soul Da Vinci.
It’s the first time I see you having fun and rest, enjoy the beer and the moment, you deserve. All the best from 🇵🇹 Portugal
She looks absolutely beautiful..... A lot of that is down to the Master Craftsman you have working on her......... I hear the sound of water on your bows..... So looking forward to seeing you drinking wine at Sunset..... I will raise a glass with you when you do..... Bless you both..... :-))) xx
Please ,please save the teak deck in storage, the next owner might have the time and energy to reinstall it no matter how thin, it is now a rare luxury of past days and the issues around screw leaks have been resolved with modern adhesives.
Great video as ever, thank you for sharing this amazing journey
New boat will be amazing when finished but I still have a place in my heart for the Vindo and so happy when you share more sailing adventures. I know you’re ready too!
Good luck with your job, and welcome to Sweden. :) . The best side of the Swedish west coast is from Gothenburg and north, so I would choose Denmark up to Ålbäck and aim for Torbeskär and touch Källö-Knippla, then Marstrand. It is absolutely most beautiful from Hållö and the north. Källö-Knippla has a harbor party around 15/7 and is a fantastic experience with lots of music and dancing.
I love this channel. I love Dino's penchant for perfection and watching all the work get done will make the sailing days so much more rewarding to watch. Keep up the great work guys!
Hi Magic Carpet crew,
I love your sailing videos.
I not sure if you are following the Golden Globe sailing Race to begin in 3 or 4 weeks.
As an FYI there is an entrant from South Africa who will sail a Cape George.
11. Kirsten Neuschäfer (39) / South Africa / Cape George 36
Keep up the great videos.
Cheers,
We’ve made a whole video about Kirsten! We’re really excited to see how she does!
Oh man. I’m so happy that you’re back in Europe to give Magic Carpet some more time on the water. Also the full restoration of your new boat is well beyond my skills vs the MC refit which I think I could easily handle. Super excited for you ongoing videos from the Netherlands 🇳🇱
Wonderful, thank you.
That Beer suggestion was a great idia go for it 🇯🇲🇺🇲👍
12:35. Every man on the planet when he’s focused on a job!. Nice work people.
I can feel the calm you talk about. It’s somehow visible in this video. Really enjoy seeing you back at MC1 and in beautiful Netherlands. Secretly hoping to bump into you in my hometown of Gothenburg…. Can’t wait to see sailing and exploring videos again. All the best from Sweden!
Aladino
Welcome back to Eurolandia! Enjoy!!
Little hint for taping around tight radius corners before painting or filling with compound---- use fine line detail tape for the first layer. Something like 1/4" or less will stretch and bend around a much cleaner small radius than conventional masking tape.
So happy to see you back over in the Netherlands. Time you hit the water again!🙂
So good to see you back in The Netherlands, love these episodes
1.1K+ like posted at 11:50 of this 5,698th view... it reminds me of yours, and a few other restoration projects, that gave me the title and inspiration for "Sticky Goop":
a new Irish Hornpipe tune composition. Thank you! :0)
I hold my breath when Aladino is fixing those windows. Bravo !
Love the atmosphere and tone. Mellow precision. Having the time to explore and develop the process is freeing. I feel very calm and centered after watching, video therapy.
Thanks 🙏
Aaah ... finally 🙂
Can't wait for the coming adventures. .. Cheers to you.
Good color choice 👍🏻
Lovely, I am a relatively new fan and your videos are wonderful. I would also have chosen to paint instead of re-laying the teak, it is pretty but so much work. The re-fit videos are great because I am learning so much about boats, and you do such a good job of explaining why you make the choices you make. There are a lot of sailing videos, but very few people doing the kind of quality of work that you are doing.
I can't wait to see her on the water again. I SO MISS the sailing part.
The meticulous care you take in doing your refits is inspiring. It's always a pleasure watching your videos.
'we are not celebrating carnaval' great line, I loved it...:-)
"Peak Aladino"; Just remember which country produces the best watches.
That is a nice result on the windows looks so much better with out the screws and suspect leaky windows unless the Sikaflex breaks down are a thing of the past. Yeah the whitish for the non slip way to go will look sharp. Great you guys do all this stuff products used and why helps me on my resto so I can avoid cock ups and the extra expense of fixing it. Not sure if you know but Sikaflex do a UV stabilized range as well found that out on Travels with Gordie channel. Keep at it be well Carry On.
Nick (outa NZ bottom of the world just down the road from Antartica. Belting down with rain blowing 90kphish at the mo.)
Mv/Geordie, yes a bit harder to get and I think irrelevant regarding black as well a trim ring I believe covers in this instance.
I did break it down at 15hp trying to fix my prop. West Systems epoxy also failed.
I have not seen the white yellow or photo degrade, just tends to get dirty. Paintable.
I'm way into both boat building and chateau renovation. And if there's one thing I've learned from all the chateau renovation channels, it's that lime mortar is excellent for filling up gaps, and it really breathes. Which means that water vapor won't build up behind all your hard work, and you won't have to re-mortar your entire boat ten years down the road. You're WAY better off "caulking" your "seams" with lime mortar than with concrete.
I am glad you will be releasing some sailing videos soon!
Though done long ago, I feel the need to help you with the windows. I have had a glass shop for almost 30 years. You did a decent job. I would have a few techniques to knock some time off.
Your energy and enthusiasm to keep two project boats going across the world is impressive
So nice to see MC I again. She sure is a looker! Glad you are able to slow down and enjoy the work.
Music at 8:20 - wow goose bumps. Another great video - and is great to go back to Holland with you.
Good instruction from you both on a difficult job. Seen a few different approaches to it.
I've gone with the intentional 2stage as perfection is difficult in one.
The fun of sailing our smaller vessel's, glad you're out already.
amazing as always, those window installation is something else
I’m in awe at the patience and craftsmanship being shown here topped off by a heart rate lowering narration. Just wonderful, every episode is simply magical in so many ways. Love your work guys.
Welkom terug in Nederland enjoy
Nice to see you back at our neighbours. Beautyful landscape with beautyful people. You both fit perfect there! ;-)
Welcome back!
What an amazing perfectionist! Great job.......... Bravo
Love seeing MC 1 again, she's a real beauty. Looking forward to see her under sail once more. Thanks for your videos. They are a soothing break from my day-to-day. cheers!
Aladino certainly knows his stuff. An inspiration to us mere mortals made possible by the video production skills of Maya. What a team.
Looking forward to the coming videos. Thank you!!
You probably made the right decision concerning the deck, but I will miss the beautiful teck deck. In white it's going to look so "cheap". Just my feeling. I like teak decks 😉
I hope you're having a fantastic sailing season.
Ik ben echt blij dat jellie zijn weer in holland!
Magic Carpet, magic episode. You two are an absolute delight.
Really happy to see you sailing, exploring new places...because with you, I also travel...excited...
MC1 looks so pristine…. What a nice boat.
In.about to buy a boat in winter and considered to buy Magic carpet if I would have the chance to restore it myself. But I would not dare to buy it now and ruin all the work you guys did. Love your channel you two.
Isn’t it better to get a boat that is ready to go? ;)
@@SailingMagicCarpet No, I want to restore or repair a boat. That's my thing. I like to learn while I do that.
@@Myrddraal79 forgotten dreams are everywhere.
Vindö, love these boats!
"Peak Alidino" lol.
Glad to hear you will be back on the water soon.
Such a beautiful boat! 😃
Great to see you guys back in the Netherlands after the Maud episode last year. The boat and episodes are looking great as always! It's also great to see European (Especially Dutch) sailing and culture represented in English-speaking media. I feel like too many Americans rely on preconceptions about Europe rather than experience, in order to shape their perspective (For example, I thought of Heineken as German, not Dutch, up until this video).
Have fun in Scandinavia, and good luck,
-J
Om ONLY watching the refit videos 👍🏼😄
than you
Thanks!
Thank you so much for your kind donation!!
Far Out! You two are crazy having two boat projects on the go, on two different contenents. (And filming it all and making videos at the same time) Isn't it expensive keeping a boat that size inside a shed?
@17:42 Though teak looks nicer, it is the right conclusion. The silicone would have haunted you, and any other successive owner.👌
@19:47 Aesthetically it will contrast nicely with the mahogany, but I would have chosen a slightly darker color as it is gentler on the eyes for days at a time when the sun is out.😎
You both are talented boat builders. I understand the challenges of arriving for at least 90 but less than 180 days. You are both amazing! You get through difficult work, expertly. You make difficult decisions with enough condideration but not so much as to defeat the process. Save or sell that teak!
Wow you are soooo patient and meticulous. I couldn't do that. Nice. I was sad to hear about the teak decks.😭 But hey it's not me doing so totally understand. Looking forward to Scandinavian adventures. Are you going up as far as Tromso Norway? One of my all time favourite places.
Where in Friesland are you? It looks like in the neighborhood of Warns/ Stavoren… isn’t it? If you you need some stainless steel cuttingwork, don’t wait and let know, we can always try to agree to something.
We'll catch up to you when you are on the water. Love this boat!
Credible Artesian! (non-contradiction preciseness) = beautifully lasting functionality
Ahhhhh...
When you get back, check your chop saw for a safety recall.
Awesome job on the windows. Thank you for another great video! ⛵️
