Maya, your ability to capture your feelings in words is a gift. It is of course clear that you have many other gifts. Your videos are such a pleasure to watch. Have you ever considered writing a book?
Well, how nice of Matt, Please tell him he did a good thing, and there is another Cape George 36 . The owner Kirsten Neuguesser is refitting her CAPE George 36 on Prince Edward Island, Canada . She intends to enter and win the GGR 2022 , an around the world solo, nonstop race…. You can find her on Facebook, or her website…
I really enjoy your music. When we married, my wife's cousin's wife played viola at our wedding. I found out, years later, that in the years prior to our wedding she had been the number one rated viola soloist in the world. Early in her career, an elderly gentleman gave her a viola with a broken neck, calling it a humble gift. When she took it took it to be repaired, she was told that it was priceless - I was too ignorant of such things to know that at the time of our wedding, but I still remember the beauty of the music she made. Your playing on the channel (and the choreography of your duets and trios) brings back very fond memories of the few times I heard Carol play. Thank you for entertaining as well as teaching boating skills. The two of you have unique skills and gifts. And the techniques and tips, as well as sources for materials, are both informative and helpful, reinforcing my belief that I will be able to restore and modify a small trailerable boat for sailing with my grandsons.
What we all need- a place...a home... a boat with... "that thing." Life. Soul. This boat has it and will definitely feed yours. Congrats on having all your research and suspicions confirmed. The memories and sensations of those few days will be great fuel for your work going forward.
The dialog and voice over in this video was especially poetic and we really enjoyed it. My wife is an Oma so that made it special as well. Just the video made it feel like a ship versus a boat. We know what your talking about in the difference. Your body and mind know but there are no words. Great video. Thank you
What a sail, nice weather, light breezes, cruising along with that silence, no motor, just rippling water. You'll definitely have a beauty when you've completed the work, pride in your accomplishment. Anxious here to see the adventure with the Cape George! 🕊️🧡🔱
Your pronunciation of Tipi Haere is beautiful and correct and a joy to listen to. Warren owners almost to a person destroy the predominantly Pacific names of their boats. You and the owner of Tipi Haere honour our two/language. Thankyou
What a magical, wonderful, beautiful presentation. Watching that wonderful craft move smoothly through the seas was a joy. I am in tears…. As a child I was thin, eccentric and bullied. I was never able to actively participate in sport and compete against the other boys who delighted in hurting and humiliating those weaker than themselves…. that is until I discovered sailing. Being on the water was my solace, solitude and place of peace. Thankyou for rekindling those memories. Bless you both.
Thank you, both! It’s also special that you got to sail your first Cape George 36 in a boat with a Māori name. Cecil Lange, a Kiwi whose brainchild the design was, passed away only last year. There’s something wonderfully poignant about that circle of connections. And perhaps a hint of a voyage to Aotearoa some day? Maya, with your gift for the poetry of language, you’re already savouring the promise … and Aladino, with your gift for the poetry of boats, you’re underway already, right? As ever, all praise to the two of you for the magic of your narratives. Proud to support your project, albeit in but a tiny way. Roy
I just wanted to add my thank you to Matt for taking you two out and allowing you to share his magnificent vessel with all of us. I'm also very happy to hear that now you know for certain that your yacht is everything you had hoped for and more. Fair winds, safe travels, may you find all that you need to finish your project and God Bless...
That is very generous of Matt and that is exactly what you both needed and what a beautiful vessel and I love its name. It's like now, you both have gotten your wind put back in your Sails. That's awesome... happy for ya's
“That beauty comes with maintenance“ - Aladino I had a huge smile in my face :) You both really CARE in every second of working an living and you are inspiring me to go on further with my own boat (westerly merlin 28ft). Greetings from Germany!
I love the fact that the CG 36 you were on had a rudder and tiller instead of a wheel, I have nothing against ship wheels but the rudder and tiller just seems more classy and elegant to me. Great video.
We have a very similar boat although custom made ferro cement. It’s technically a 39 foot but that extra3 feet is just because the hull is a true double end. Our stern comes to a point! It’s like a canoe. Anyway my point is my husband thinks it’s too big and heavy to steer with a rudder. But the cockpit is compact like theirs so the wheel really gets in the way
I lived in Seattle for 23 years. Miss the ocean and being on my friends sail boats and even the live aboard my late husband I had on Lake Union for a couple of years. But it most reminded me about working on a 45 foot commercial fishing boat 200 miles out from land for weeks at a time as a cook and deck hand with only me and the captain on board. Watching your sailing today was soothing to my soul. I’m happiest on the water. Loved watching all your sailing adventures. Thank you for giving this senior something to look forward to each week. Can’t wait to see your sailing your new boat.
The Dutch have an exact word to describe the feeling you describe "Gezellig" which translates loosely to cozy, homey, sociable, intimate, convivial, warm, & inviting.
I have just moved away from the Washington coast and I can still smell the sound when I listen to your videos. I miss my home but thank you for these short windows back.
So, I'm not the only one being enchanted by this awesome young Lady ! Yes, her voice is so soothing. She definitely is an artist. She expresses true emotions so clearly. ❤️ Kudos to Matt, I immediately sensed his good nature. A very lovable Man, happy to share his boat and experiences. Bravo Matt ! 👏
What a wonderful validation! Great point about the importance of light wind sailing ability - so great it performs so well. Maya, your poetic descriptions always add so much to the already lovely video.
Maya, I think the phrase you were looking for is "understated elegance and quality". The kind of feelings that you know you can trust and remind you of home and other good things .
I love how you make a story of each video, a visual diary of memories and feelings of Magic Carpet (n) voayage. I'm sure we'll have really great ones coming from Magic Carpet 2 and all your work we'll be rewarded.
Been following MC from the beginning! I even followed the adventures with the first small boat with your father! I believe it is more than the just the boats. It is your genuine feeling and outlook to life that makes your boats great and that is why we all so much love to watch your life peacefully moving on every Friday! Go safely Cheers
Matt was a most gracious and inviting host. He obviously loves his yacht. Beautiful connection and time for you both to explore your future first hand. I felt goosebumps.
I’m watching your video in my 37 ft Roberts designed made by me. It’s a tradition full keel cutter that has 30.000 miles under her keel. I appreciate the work and commitment you two have and done and are achieving. As you describe the motion of your Cape George it reminds me of mine and I’m sure it will take you safely anywhere you want to go. Best to you both ❤️🇨🇦 you got me when you said you have to call you Oma
Very poetic narrative. So happy you are pleased with your purchase. I am sure the Cape George will treat you well especially after your complete refit.
Great episode, Matt's boat is in impeccable shape, very cool to see a boat that size sail so easy in such light wind. One thing you guys might want to think about installing is bow thrusters, a boat this size being a full keel does not backup easy and trying to dock it or putting it into a slip when there is a lot of current can be a real pain in the ass, bow thrusters just makes this job so much easier....
Style & Pedigree .. that is what make you different. Thank Uuu Angel Mat for such a gift to this hardworking Lovely Couple Besten Wünschen aus Chile Complimenti
What a great experience! If you two can't get it right, nobody can. That's a very graceful boat, you can visualize its sea-worthyness in the video. The joy that has to bring you to confirm your choice is written all over you two.. You are both very hard working and with with Aladinio's technical prowess, you're going to enjoy this - can't wait for see it once she riding the serf.
I particularly enjoyed this episode. I 've owned several sailboats. Your excursion reminded me of my last boat, "Chubby," a Cooper 353 which seems to have shared much of the sailing characteristics of your Cape George. Stable in heavy air, spritely in the light air which is common in the inland waters of Washington. What I enjoyed the most about your episode was your descriptions of sailing the Cape George. Not the words so much as the depth of feeling and overall emotion in your voice that communicated the joy of sailing. I miss it so much, but health issues (age) have caused me to sell my joy. But a young couple has bought her and have the skill and knowledge to keep her shipshape. Thank you for doing what you do!
This reminds me of my Endurance 35, especially the stability holding line. I recommend if using a cutter rig, having the staysail on a self furler. As I did plenty of solo sailing, I did this for the reason you mentioned, to prevent the need to wind in the headsail. When I tack across I leave the staysail until after I have hauled the head sail across. The headsail would slide cleanly across the staysail so I didn't need to take it in, and I would also often sail with main and staysail.
Maya - its easy to share your elation. Amazing you managed to gain that opportunity / experience upon the same boat as your own and with such a gracious host!
You mentioned finding a Light and heavy wind sailing boat as a Unicorn. I had one in my youth, her name was Sea Symphony. She was a Swedish built Brynne in 1926. Her length was 25ft and weighed in at 15,000 lbs, yes I said 15,000 POUNDS. Her mast was 38ft from deck and 42 ft to keel. Used sails you would find on boats of 30 to 35 ft. I had this beautiful boat in Southern California. So I sailed her in light and heavy winds, in fact those dreaded Santa Anna winds would prompt me to go sailing in 60 knot winds at night because she took them so well. Yet, I would get her up to full speed of 7.5 knots in lighter than 10 knots, but she would have up to 600 sq ft of sail up. The only thing you had to have was strength to sail her. I miss her so much, and have looked for plans or another of her kind for the last 30 years.
You Guys know that I love everything you do, But to see the smiles on your faces brought tears of joy to my eyes......... You were both born to be on the water... You can see it is in your soul`s...... So good to see you made the right choice of Boat... She sailed with such Grace.... Take care and stay safe... :-)))) xxxx
Love the yankee, being the perfect storm jib, setting closer to the main for more stability in a blow. Her performance in light air is stellar, perfectly suited for crossing the doldrums. Well done!
I'm not a sailor, but this brought tears to my eyes. So happy that you now have this confirmation that what you're building is going to be such a comfortable vessel and so perfect for your life.
What a treat to watch and see you two being so pleased knowing more intimately what you are working toward. I’m happy for you and I too am more excited to watch you work on your new home.
So nice to see you out sailing again, what a beautiful boat Tipi Haere is. I am quite sure you Magic Carpet 11 will be equally beautiful. And that light air capability, impressive!
Non sailors might be amazed to see the difference that 8 feet can make. Probably three times the internal volumn of the Vindo. I sailed a Folkboat and a Contessa 26 for years, The taste off salt water even in a small chop is a vivid memory. I appreciate the difference you will notice when you take to the water on the new yacht, it will be a much drier boat too.. I look forward to your future adventures and good luck.
It's a Cape George. They have an incredible reputation. You have chosen really well. They do not reverse very well, but you guys look like forward is your favorite direction. If you have not learned then check out 'torque turning.' You can spin that boat on its keel using that technique. The full keel is just a little bit of a learning process in close maneuvering. Thanks for the great videos.
I have built and sailed on many boats but they all seemed like home, starting with my El Toro when I was seven. Now a days it seems like a sixty foot daggerboard catamaran gives me that sense of home like no other but I digress. Moving up in size and speed is always important, a Cape George 36 feels small to a Oyster 52 and so on. Congratulations on incrementally moving forward to bigger vessels. I know I couldn't move back to a 60 foot mono hull after sailing a performance 60 foot catamaran, the difference is night and day. Many blessings on fitting out your new boat and the boats after that, "May there be many". Be well and stay safe.
You guys are the best. What beautiful words to describe THE feeling. I totally know what you mean when the right combination of beauty and tradition come together to make that special feeling. In my opinion, you've chosen a fantastic boat that will fit that feeling you crave with all the love and energy that you put into it. Am I jealous........you bet I am. Thank you for a great video as always
The Cape George is one of the most attractive of the composite hulls with more classical woodwork. I had considered one at the yard possibly it was yours. It hit every want. So glad to see it in both of your hands. I knew it required more work than I was prepared for.
This was an unexpected episode. As an owner of 11 boats and just bought my 12th sailboat, I don't think I ever sailed the one I was buying before I bought it. I always thought everything would be fine based on my prior knowledge . What you did was unexpected by me because I never figured you'd find another one like yours. Very smart. I'm looking forward to the final results on Magic Carpet. Maya, you have a very sharp way with words. You explain yourself extremely well, and you seem to truly understand what it is your attempting to accomplish. Along with the same soothing sounds of gentle winds and water rushing along the hull.
how great to see a version of your boat in action. and looks like he can tow the dingy on the down slop of the wake my dad would be proud looking forward to your splash
Watching her sail in light winds was instructive. This is what you get with a heavy boat paired with a generous sail plan. The cutter rig makes it easier to cut the sail area down to size, once it breases up.
Fabulous video! Dreams to be, Dreams to come! If boats have a Spirit, the Tippi Haere was happy to be taking you out with her. The difference between fabricate materials and real wood is it is made from living materials. It has a soul and a spirit, warmth vs. cold. Of course, good energy and love from it's owners makes a difference too. This was a fun video.
Vous êtes vraiment trop mignons tous les deux, ça me fait très très plaisir de voir deux jeunes vivre leurs rêves ! All the best to you and Magic Carpet II !
That was one of the best! You’re making me rethink some of the things that I now will do more research on & take more time with. It sounds like you’ve made a excellent choice in your new boat doesn’t it? I love all the retro kind of hardware and the “lights” that were just thick glass and sunshine. It’s going to be such a great home--
Tipi Hare was the first Cape George 36 I sailed as well. You will never be disappointed and she will take care of you throughout a lifetime. Among other things she will teach you how to dock her singlehandedly with wind and current deep into a marina using the tools at hand rather than just turning the wheel!
Maya's mastery of English is incredible. Sometimes I listen to these Magic Carpet videos, and encourage my students to do the same, just to hear her speak. Aladino as well considering how many languages he speaks.
I think getting this first hand experience on this boat puts you in a better position to make sound choices regarding fitting out and setting up. You have a fine boat there.
I have been watching your videos all along, and I felt your joy when you realize that you had made a beautiful purchase. As always, the music and visuals playing together beautifully.
12:20 - 13:04 Lovely narration. I think you are going to be very happy on Magic Carpet II! Best wishes to you both! You were so lucky to find a generous and informed skipper to let you trial your boat/his boat. Great kudos to Matt. 19:29 - 19:35 six seconds that show who you are and how you are together. Love to you both!
I think when you were trying to express the difference in how you feel about your own boat after this experience, is that before you knew what it should be like with your mind, but now you know with your heart. When those two are in tune, they make joyful music.
Just so happy for both of you! It’s like having a signed confirmation form saying my research and all my soul searching was right now nothing can stop me😀

Thank you so much Chris. Writing a book is a big goal of mine one day!!

Well, how nice of Matt,
Please tell him he did a good thing, and there is another Cape George 36 . The owner

She intends to enter and win the GGR 2022 , an around the world solo, nonstop race….
You can find her on Facebook, or her website…
I really enjoy your music. When we married, my wife's cousin's wife played viola at our wedding. I found out, years later, that in the years prior to our wedding she had been the number one rated viola soloist in the world. Early in her career, an elderly gentleman gave her a viola with a broken neck, calling it a humble gift. When she took it took it to be repaired, she was told that it was priceless - I was too ignorant of such things to know that at the time of our wedding, but I still remember the beauty of the music she made. Your playing on the channel (and the choreography of your duets and trios) brings back very fond memories of the few times I heard Carol play. Thank you for entertaining as well as teaching boating skills. The two of you have unique skills and gifts. And the techniques and tips, as well as sources for materials, are both informative and helpful, reinforcing my belief that I will be able to restore and modify a small trailerable boat for sailing with my grandsons.
“On this boat I could see both my past & my future and they both filled me with joy.” Beautiful

Thank you, both! It’s also special that you got to sail your first Cape George 36 in a boat with a Māori name. Cecil Lange, a Kiwi whose brainchild the design was, passed away only last year. There’s something wonderfully poignant about that circle of connections. And perhaps a hint of a voyage to Aotearoa some day?

Yep, bathed in saltwater over here too. I'm one of those that believes sailors were sailors in their past lives so, before birth.
@@jerrym3261 So true.... :-)))
I also love your take on Roberta’s “Finally! “ on the other side of the world
Love the yankee, being the perfect storm jib, setting closer to the main for more stability in a blow. Her performance in light air is stellar, perfectly suited for crossing the doldrums. Well done!
That feeling you describe is one of deep connection. I love this video!
That was very smart to accept the invitation …Now you fully know what you both are working for..A nice moral booster..
The keyhole shaped bulkhead creates a kind of magical effect too. I've always loved those.
Brought me to tears. I miss the sea.
Beautiful as always.
Thank you.
I'm not a sailor, but this brought tears to my eyes. So happy that you now have this confirmation that what you're building is going to be such a comfortable vessel and so perfect for your life.
Dreamy ! At any moment expected the CG leave the water & sail among clouds ! lol
What a treat to watch and see you two being so pleased knowing more intimately what you are working toward. I’m happy for you and I too am more excited to watch you work on your new home.
So refreshing seeing an uncluttered cockpit!
So nice to see you out sailing again, what a beautiful boat Tipi Haere is. I am quite sure you Magic Carpet 11 will be equally beautiful. And that light air capability, impressive!
What a beautiful trip. I felt I was right there under those billowing sails and watching the green sea gently sliding by.
The narrative is so poetic it brings a tear to my eye
Thanks, Matt, for loaning your boat for all of us! What a lovely boat.

If you have not learned then check out 'torque turning.' You can spin that boat on its keel using that technique. The full keel is just a little bit of a learning process in close maneuvering. Thanks for the great videos.
Forward is our favorite direction Indeed. Loved that!
Thanks

I have built and sailed on many boats but they all seemed like home, starting with my El Toro when I was seven. Now a days it seems like a sixty foot daggerboard catamaran gives me that sense of home like no other but I digress. Moving up in size and speed is always important, a Cape George 36 feels small to a Oyster 52 and so on. Congratulations on incrementally moving forward to bigger vessels. I know I couldn't move back to a 60 foot mono hull after sailing a performance 60 foot catamaran, the difference is night and day. Many blessings on fitting out your new boat and the boats after that, "May there be many". Be well and stay safe.
You guys are the best. What beautiful words to describe THE feeling. I totally know what you mean when the right combination of beauty and tradition come together to make that special feeling. In my opinion, you've chosen a fantastic boat that will fit that feeling you crave with all the love and energy that you put into it. Am I jealous........you bet I am. Thank you for a great video as always
Thank you for sharing this video - love you guys !
Maya , you are a beautiful storyteller. So happy for you both that you got to really feel what the future will be like on your magic carpet two ⛵️⛵️🥰
The Cape George is one of the most attractive of the composite hulls with more classical woodwork. I had considered one at the yard possibly it was yours. It hit every want. So glad to see it in both of your hands. I knew it required more work than I was prepared for.
Have watched in the background for over a year and enjoyed every episode greatly. So glad to see your efforts rewarded with a test sail.
Again, great video. I think you made a great choice with a CG36. Can’t wait to see Magic Carpet II under sail.
This was an unexpected episode. As an owner of 11 boats and just bought my 12th sailboat, I don't think I ever sailed the one I was buying before I bought it. I always thought everything would be fine based on my prior knowledge . What you did was unexpected by me because I never figured you'd find another one like yours. Very smart. I'm looking forward to the final results on Magic Carpet. Maya, you have a very sharp way with words. You explain yourself extremely well, and you seem to truly understand what it is your attempting to accomplish. Along with the same soothing sounds of gentle winds and water rushing along the hull.
Kudos Matt, well done sir!
So very happy for you both!! What a great guy and you could see how happy you both were.
If this is your narration, I really want to read your book. Your voice makes Jack London sound abrasive.
how great to see a version of your boat in action. and looks like he can tow the dingy on the down slop of the wake my dad would be proud looking forward to your splash
How enjoyable to see you both on the water again, in your natural habitat 🙂😘. Thank you for this very beautifully episode.
Watching her sail in light winds was instructive. This is what you get with a heavy boat paired with a generous sail plan.
The cutter rig makes it easier to cut the sail area down to size, once it breases up.
That was a well articulated description of what good design does for the experience.
From Quebec , realy nice sail boat a dream come truth .
Fabulous video! Dreams to be, Dreams to come! If boats have a Spirit, the Tippi Haere was happy to be taking you out with her. The difference between fabricate materials and real wood is it is made from living materials. It has a soul and a spirit, warmth vs. cold. Of course, good energy and love from it's owners makes a difference too. This was a fun video.
Vous êtes vraiment trop mignons tous les deux, ça me fait très très plaisir de voir deux jeunes vivre leurs rêves ! All the best to you and Magic Carpet II !
Excellent video guys, great vessel wonderful man...I think your going to love Magic Carpet 2. Thanks for taking us with you.😎👍
So awesome. I am so happy your expectations or hopes were met and you weren't disappointed. Hugs.
That was one of the best! You’re making me rethink some of the things that I now will do more research on & take more time with. It sounds like you’ve made a excellent choice in your new boat doesn’t it? I love all the retro kind of hardware and the “lights” that were just thick glass and sunshine. It’s going to be such a great home--
A capable balance between speed, seaworthyness and comfort all wraped in a beautiful design! Stable, strong and fast… Congrats guys!!
Tipi Hare was the first Cape George 36 I sailed as well. You will never be disappointed and she will take care of you throughout a lifetime. Among other things she will teach you how to dock her singlehandedly with wind and current deep into a marina using the tools at hand rather than just turning the wheel!
How cool! Fun to know this little detail:) looking forward to it!
So happy for you both! Glad you will love your Magic Carpet 2. Lovely narration on the boat, Maya!
Maya's mastery of English is incredible. Sometimes I listen to these Magic Carpet videos, and encourage my students to do the same, just to hear her speak. Aladino as well considering how many languages he speaks.
This retired teacher agrees 100% and 100% is the score I give Maya's English!
I think getting this first hand experience on this boat puts you in a better position to make sound choices regarding fitting out and setting up. You have a fine boat there.
You are so right to sail some times when you build a boat . I dit it . It s so important for the mind set .
I love your poetic descriptions.
I have been watching your videos all along, and I felt your joy when you realize that you had made a beautiful purchase. As always, the music and visuals playing together beautifully.
12:20 - 13:04 Lovely narration. I think you are going to be very happy on Magic Carpet II! Best wishes to you both! You were so lucky to find a generous and informed skipper to let you trial your boat/his boat. Great kudos to Matt. 19:29 - 19:35 six seconds that show who you are and how you are together. Love to you both!
Enjoyed that. Great to be back out on the water with you guys. Matt's boat went really well in light winds from what I saw. Exciting.
Maya's love of the cruising life is inspirational a real mermaid to take to sea
I think when you were trying to express the difference in how you feel about your own boat after this experience, is that before you knew what it should be like with your mind, but now you know with your heart. When those two are in tune, they make joyful music.
I'm looking forward to watching your videos when you have completed the boat renovation and are able to sail Magic Carpet II.
Love it! So happy for you both. You guys found the perfect boat for you.
Luminous narration. Lovely music.
Just so happy for both of you! It’s like having a signed confirmation form saying my research and all my soul searching was right now nothing can stop me😀
So glad you've opportunity to sail it and more!
What a gift to you, such a considerate man to invite you to sail. If only there were more people like this in the world today. Hat's off to this gent.
