Maya, thank you for playing on of my all time favorite songs. “ A Day in the life of a Fool.” I never heard it played with that much soul. Magnificent.
hello i have depression and am getting better watching your video this evening made me smile its something i have not done in years but know i am getting better i realise that i am enjoying some things again so not only are you doing a fantastic job on the boat and the partnership but you are helping me so thank you and well done
A healthy diet can be helpful, eliminate sugars, caffeine, alcohol and perhaps try a keto routine, vegan, I find a Swedish app helps me understand more, it takes some getting used to but it takes the guesswork out of tracking things. Good sleep routines, perhaps integrative therapy if available, regular gentle exercise can help. Sometimes just taking the time to 'take care of yourself' is hard to learn, practice, understand.
hi John, I just wanted to express my solidarity with you as someone who's also suffered from depression over the years. Some people say they've had bouts of depression but for me it's been the opposite, bouts of sunny days sprinkled in among the far more frequent dreary days and seasons, so to speak. One thing I've found particularly helpful as of late is setting goals but without letting myself get unhealthily attached to them, if that makes sense. It gives me a certain sense of satisfaction and something to look forward to. Of course, everything is a balancing act - I've had to learn not to beat myself up for my slower-than-desired progress in meeting those goals, but then I just walk away from them, reassured by the fact that I am still moving forward, albeit slowly and steadily. Just thought I'd share this personal experience in case you can identify with it in any way. Perhaps that's what you like about these boat-building episodes - two people creating beauty, while slowly getting closer and closer to a goal despite persistent difficulties that often seem insurmountable? And while yes, they are working on their boat, they're also working on themselves along the way... Whatever the case may be, I hope this message finds you well.
I certainly would, but she would be way over my budget! I think I will keep my tiny boat instead, untill I get a millionaire. That may take some time...
You will look back on your early joint making with affection as you get better and more confident ,a tip for sawing straight : clamp a strip of wood alongside the line and draw the saw alongside it that way the cut will be perfectly straight both perpendicular and horizontal.
I come from an aerospace composites background, and we use the smallest layer first for a reason that is not listed here (15:42). If properly scarfed, the repair area will have each layer of glass exposed in turn. The repair plies should be cut such that their perimeter corresponds to each successive layer of exposed substrate. Thus, with each layer applied, each one is being bonded to a corresponding layer in the base laminate. These are NOT butt joints. The repair ply overlaps a ply in the base laminate whose thickness has been tapered, not severed. In this manner, each layer of the repair is bonded to the base laminate rather than the entire repair area depending on the adhesion of a single ply.
Ain’t that the truth! They’re a superb team and both have top notch skills and grey matter that works to solve whatever needs to happen. They always mull over each issue till “they” have decided on how to approach every task.
Al is so so forturnate to have workmate, friend, lovely wife and can play most excellent music also! Not mention thousands of other odds and ends of facing a life of love and adventure together! We adore you two and always learn epic amounts of vital skills and such! Massive hugs to you both!
I thoroughly enjoy your videos. I wish I was your age and had the opportunity to do what you are doing. Needless to say I got my introduction to sailing about 5 years ago when we bought our Ericson 38….. love it….but it’s a huge learning curve.
Would love to see you talk with Kirsten Neuschäfer about getting a Cape George 36 ready for offshore sailing and helping to promote the coolest yacht currently entered into the GGR
I was thinking about order of laminates. I think smaller to larger is great for a hole patch. That way, the new material can best link up with the old. But for backing an eye on the other side, perhaps larger to smaller is the better way to go. I see it like stacking washers. One usually wants the smallest one closest to the nut. It distributes the load of the nut to the next larger washer. And so it goes with the largest washer furthest from the nut, so it distributes the load from the nut over the greatest area of material. I enjoy watching your videos, even though I envy your craftsmanship.
I’ve been meaning to mention how much I enjoy the musical accompaniment you include with the video work, somehow even the barn birds chirping adds a bit of “magic” to the efforts of the work your doing! Really top shelf.
Congratulation to your great job it will be a wonderful boat a real beauty! with the accuracy and professionalism you make it - Schweizer Gründlichkeit halt :) lg aus Österreich Alex
Don't make yourself so small, it may be simple, but only for someone who has done it many times before. For someone who doesn't have that experience, it's never easy in the beginning. So from your point of view you did something big, not something small. Well done!
@@SailingMagicCarpet "C'est en forgeant qu'on devient forgeron." Either Aladino or Google should be able to translate this french proverb. Very good work from both of you as usual.
In his previous life, Alendino must have seriously been involved in the art of watchmaking. There is no other explanation for his insistence on the accuracy of everything he is dealing with, for his craftmanship on the assembly that follows, skills that are all-around present during this restoration project. Eventually, what will come out of that shed will be nothing less than a reference boat, having exceeded in construction quality and robustness any other sister boat, and not only. Perhaps the nicest restoration I've been watching on TH-cam for a long time.
Aladino is certainly a perfectionist -- though I can say from working with him that he's a relaxed perfectionist. He strives for perfection but doesn't take it too much to heart either. It's actually quite a perfect combination. It's quite an inspiration to watch him work. -Maya
Du beau et du bon travail. Je suis depuis un moment vos périples et plus particulièrement la nouvelle remise en forme. Un grand plaisir de voir un travail soigné et de qualité. Je me trompe peut-être, mais apparemment plus l'habitude de travailler le polyester que l'époxy. J'attire votre attention sur un point important, c'est l'étanchéité totale de l'époxy par rapport au polyester, qui peu entrainer un phénomène de confinement des parties en bois de bout de la coque. J'ai pour habitude de considérer l'époxy comme un sac plastique et le polyester à un sac en tissus. Même usage mais pas le même comportement. Travailler et réparer sur une coque polyester en mixte avec l'époxy demande de bien réfléchir et surtout de veiller à ne pas créer de zones ou la "vapeur d'eau" serait enfermée. Pour info, je viens de terminer "Kaahua" ma "pirogue double de voyage" (catamaran) de 14m en CP/epoxy sur plans personnels.
Dino - I love your cleanliness when working, ultra neat and tidy. Maya - here's a tip from a 76 year old who just learned to make tight joins. Throw away your pencil and get a marking knife then create a 'knife wall' to start your cut. (See Rob Cosman's channel)
You guys are so very enjoyable to watch as you progress through your workload, Your video making skills match your boatbuilding and repairing skills, really amazing. Thanks.
Wow. What happened? At the 16 minute mark the two hole in the boat were filled. Can you you tell us what you did and didn't include in the video? (BTW, great videos!)
@@SailingMagicCarpet I did watch. What I am referencing is the "bungs" that filled the holes. There were holes in the boat where the sea cocks had been and then they were filled with a reddish plug. That part was not filmed/explained.
@@roncanizares9966 Oh -- just some epoxy mixture. A temporary and normally unnecessary step, we only did it because we didn't grind and fibreglass the outside at the same time. Normally both sides would be ground down and get fibreglass at the same time. We will still grind and fibreglass the outside of course, we just decided to do it later as we were focussing on the interior at the time.
I remember as a very wee girl asking my Dad , " how are things made ? " He told me how to make soup.( - : I listened but I actually meant things like this . Truly great to watch ...thanks . x
As a great deal of grinding and sanding will be needed please consider the use of a PAPR (Powered Air Purifying Respirator) they really do work and are worth the cost. That constant air flow is blessed on a hot day.
Very satisfying watching the meticulous work being done. I find this inspirational because at first when I saw all the rotten wood I felt overwhelmed at the needed work but week by week I see the progress towards a beautiful end. A well built, safe, secure vessel of taking you around the world.
Thank you so much Beverly. It was overwhelming to us at first as well, but it's starting to feel more and more within reach. Thank you so much for watching and for the lovely comment. -Maya
regarding your composting head... highly recommend looking up the compost head James Baldwin built on his channel a few months back. I have a natures head and it was awful as it came stock. doesn't compost. I converted it to just take a kitchen bag and removed the stirring mechanism and much much better. before, there were flies!!!
Dear Maya and Aladino! It's a real pleasure to see the high level of craftmanship you both have for restoring and preparing this beautuful blue-water yacht! Whatever happened to Magic Carpet I ? Or did I miss an episode...? HUG Geert Bruloot
See - "This is excellent." - you deserve more credit than you are giving yourself, in my opinion, fine lady. Neat trick with the third cut and the drill!
G'day Crew,, Moving along nicely now , great to see the progress. Just love the way the piece of mahogany fits ,like the proverbial hand in a glove ,, very nice . I also enjoyAlidino's sence of humour ,a man who is multi-skilled . Great episode...!!! Respect from Down Under
Just a FYI - The coping saw blade you used to cut the bottom cut in the notches can be rotated 360 degrees as you use it, instead of laying it down trying to cut flat at the bottom of the notch.
Thanks Murray, that really means a lot. It takes some finagling to extract a story out of a bunch of hammering and sanding, but I'm so so happy it's paying off a bit.
@@SailingMagicCarpet You have enough carpentry work to warrant a small table saw. Even something from Horrible Fright would be useful. I have two home made table saws, one in FL and one in NY. I use them both. The FL one is just a circular saw fastened to a plywood board with a groove routed for the miter gauge and a rip guide made from the rail of a storm door that clamps onto the plywood.
That was very nice work on the King Plank and covering the bilge holes. The sub-floor work was also a nice looking project that was semi-completed. I had not seen that drilling method used before, but I will be using it from this point forward. Don’t know if you know this or not, but the blade on the coping saw can be rotated 90 degrees so you can cut horizontally a little easier while keeping the blade vertical. Both methods get the job done, but the rotated method might make a little straighter horizontal cut. Nice work for both of you this week.
Y’all are sure doing a very professional job on your refit. It’s so enjoyable to learn as well as see your work come to fruition. I too took much pride in how I did jobs as it is a reflection on one’s depth of character. You’re either genuine or you’re not. Pays to have so much previous experience but the other is a willingness seeking to acquire the knowledge where you’re short. I so look forward to Fridays. You know why…..lol
My Saturday is your Friday. You start my morning and weekend in such a gentle and joyous way. I just love watching your paced and meticulous progress to the finish line. The joy you two will have when you finally sail again will be a most intimate affair. Precious.
I hesitate to say something, especially as it is two years late to do anything about, but for the future it may help you, but where you ground out for fiberglassing that through hull, it would really be best if you didn't have those sharp corners you left in that cut out area. Sharp corners create stress points and really should be rounded off. It's why airplanes have round, or oval windows. The dehaviland comet was one of the first jetliners and it had square windows. They suffered a number of catastrophic crashes due to windows blowing out because of the repeated pressurizations of the aircraft cabin and those square cut corners of their windows were the culprit. I rather doubt it's truly an issue on your boat, but for the future I thought you might like to know. Otherwise, I'm having a blast binging this as I catch up to where you are today.
I can’t stop watching this season 4! You guys rock! I was wondering if you have picked a composting toilet yet. I can’t make up my mind for my own 36 footer refit I started last winter.
I used the same method to close head thru holes in a ‘69 cheoy lee, transitioning to a composting head. I slept so much easier onboard knowing I had no remaining thru holes with tops below water line.
This was as usual a very informative video. I like the level of music and the editing so much. I think you have the best sv refit videos of any! Thanks for what you do.
The care you guys take is amazing, and fun to watch, but I sometimes wonder why you choose to use one tool over another. For example, the notches in the beams. You used the saws, chisels, etc. but making those notches is a very quick and easy job using the router table or table saw and dado blade. Let us know why you choose certain tools over another. And keep it up!
Hi guys, great episode! I am a long time watcher, first time commentator. My wife and I are filling some thru hulls in our Bayfield 32 and was hoping you could answer a few questions. 1) I was planning on using biaxial mat and west systems epoxy. Is this the type of mat you used for this repair? 2) looking for clarification on the 12:1 slope. Because you are doing this same repair/slope from both sides, would you still use 1” for the calculation or would you use 1/2” for the calculation? 3) How do you keep the first piece of mat from falling through the hole you are repairing? It looked like you initially had the bottom of the hill taped but before you started there was seemingly a little plug. Thank you so much for your content!
The coping saw is designed to cut on the pull stroke. So many make the mistake of pushing on the saw braking blades and having to work harder to avoid this happening. If you check out people who make a living in the jewelry trade you will see the skill set that will make working with this a pleasure. I know all the old timer types will jump up and saying they are absolutely not wrong in their insistence on pushing so they can see the cut line. Just invert the work piece and set in on the work bench. And yes I am an old timer with over 45 years in trade.
Interesting that West Systems say you could start with the larger pieces of mat first, that feels just so wrong on so many levels! May just my engineering background speaking and the bit of German in me wanting things to be "right"! I much prefer my glass "strands" to be the same as in the original molding and not curved...... I have used their epoxies extensively before but to build aircraft, not boats, they do have great products. Thanks for another great video, enjoying your project!
Other than ease of application I could never understand why someone would put the largest layer on first, if that first layer ( also the outer edge of the new layup when finished) delaminates then the WHOLE patch is at risk, not just the final layer of glass.
No criticism whatsoever of your beam notching technique. It turned out very well. You could have saved considerable time by using the circular saw like Aladino did with the kingplank scarf to ease material removal.
Like Mika said -- it's also to provide a bit of a cushioning so your hull isn't wrapped around a hard spot, perhaps leading to undue stress on the hull later on.

Get yourself a dog and go for long walks if you can.

Thanks so much Michael, that means a lot. We really appreciate you taking the time to write us some nice words. -Maya
My Saturday is your Friday. You start my morning and weekend in such a gentle and joyous way. I just love watching your paced and meticulous progress to the finish line. The joy you two will have when you finally sail again will be a most intimate affair. Precious.
Ah what a lovely comment to read -- thank you Bobbie! -Maya
@@SailingMagicCarpet ... you are very welcome Maya. Hugs from Brisbane, Australia 🔆
I never thought/think of using a coping saw for the bottom of a notch. I will use that in the future.
It works wonderfully! I learned that trick in the class I took! -Maya
excellent job...well done and lookin good.
Thanks Ron!
I hesitate to say something, especially as it is two years late to do anything about, but for the future it may help you, but where you ground out for fiberglassing that through hull, it would really be best if you didn't have those sharp corners you left in that cut out area. Sharp corners create stress points and really should be rounded off. It's why airplanes have round, or oval windows. The dehaviland comet was one of the first jetliners and it had square windows. They suffered a number of catastrophic crashes due to windows blowing out because of the repeated pressurizations of the aircraft cabin and those square cut corners of their windows were the culprit. I rather doubt it's truly an issue on your boat, but for the future I thought you might like to know. Otherwise, I'm having a blast binging this as I catch up to where you are today.
Ahh, yes, forgot that inner bit that is squared off is you balsa insulation and fiberglass overlay that isn't actually structural.
I can’t stop watching this season 4! You guys rock! I was wondering if you have picked a composting toilet yet. I can’t make up my mind for my own 36 footer refit I started last winter.
Thank you so much Anita, your support means so much! -Maya
I used the same method to close head thru holes in a ‘69 cheoy lee, transitioning to a composting head. I slept so much easier onboard knowing I had no remaining thru holes with tops below water line.
Great to hear that you made the same choice! We think we'll be happy with it!
More progress!! looks great!! keep rolling MC2 crew!!!
Thank you!
Looks like you're coping well with your new dado cutting responsibilities!
Your progress is smashing!! So wonderful.
Thanks for so much support Bev. We always notice and appreciate it. -Maya
Hugs.
the chop saw with depth set and multi-pass would accomplish also
Beautiful & satisfying work guys.
Thank you so much! -Maya
Extra thanks for the lesson on patching a thru-hull removal.
Glad that was useful to you! Thanks for watching and commenting! -Maya
Hey Aladino! Maya is getting pretty good at this! Pretty soon you can start giving her lots of jobs to do and you can just sit back and supervise!
"a dremel in the bilge" sounds like a euphemism for something....
Nice progress this week, quality work like always
Thanks Brian! -Maya
Nice vid! And no beams, lovely jajajajjaaja
This was as usual a very informative video. I like the level of music and the editing so much. I think you have the best sv refit videos of any! Thanks for what you do.
James, this just made my day. Thanks so much for the lovely comment.
Nice, I worked on composite aircraft for 34 years. We per aircraft engineers on repares small to large on patches.
Bravo once again guys 👏👏👏
Thank you so much for watching! -Maya
Great work guys! Your wood working skills are pretty good Maya 👍🏻
Thanks Gareth! -Maya
Superb - as always!
Thanks so much for all the continued support Rebekka -- we always notice and appreciate it! -Maya
Excited to see you getting closer to closing in. Excellent work
Thank you Tim! -Maya
The care you guys take is amazing, and fun to watch, but I sometimes wonder why you choose to use one tool over another. For example, the notches in the beams. You used the saws, chisels, etc. but making those notches is a very quick and easy job using the router table or table saw and dado blade. Let us know why you choose certain tools over another. And keep it up!
We don't have a table saw, and I wanted to practice the skills I had learned in the wood working course!
Hi guys, great episode! I am a long time watcher, first time commentator. My wife and I are filling some thru hulls in our Bayfield 32 and was hoping you could answer a few questions.
1) I was planning on using biaxial mat and west systems epoxy. Is this the type of mat you used for this repair?
2) looking for clarification on the 12:1 slope. Because you are doing this same repair/slope from both sides, would you still use 1” for the calculation or would you use 1/2” for the calculation?
3) How do you keep the first piece of mat from falling through the hole you are repairing? It looked like you initially had the bottom of the hill taped but before you started there was seemingly a little plug.
Thank you so much for your content!
The coping saw is designed to cut on the pull stroke. So many make the mistake of pushing on the saw braking blades and having to work harder to avoid this happening. If you check out people who make a living in the jewelry trade you will see the skill set that will make working with this a pleasure. I know all the old timer types will jump up and saying they are absolutely not wrong in their insistence on pushing so they can see the cut line. Just invert the work piece and set in on the work bench. And yes I am an old timer with over 45 years in trade.
Never herd about dado much faster
nice visual updates to the videos with new fonts and all ... enjoyed the content very much good info 2!
Woohoo, so glad you noticed the new font! Haha I just got it and I really love it. -Maya
Interesting that West Systems say you could start with the larger pieces of mat first, that feels just so wrong on so many levels! May just my engineering background speaking and the bit of German in me wanting things to be "right"! I much prefer my glass "strands" to be the same as in the original molding and not curved......
I have used their epoxies extensively before but to build aircraft, not boats, they do have great products.
Thanks for another great video, enjoying your project!
Other than ease of application I could never understand why someone would put the largest layer on first, if that first layer ( also the outer edge of the new layup when finished) delaminates then the WHOLE patch is at risk, not just the final layer of glass.
♥️ Thanks for the reading
Großartig!
Excellent work
No criticism whatsoever of your beam notching technique. It turned out very well. You could have saved considerable time by using the circular saw like Aladino did with the kingplank scarf to ease material removal.
Old school carpentry - nice
Nice to see your progress. I take it you don't have a dado blade for your table saw. Good luck with that huge project.
We don’t even have a table saw!
Would be interesting to know why the foam is layed in between hull and bulkhead? It it to prevent a squecking of the boat during the gale?
It keeps your hull straight when fiberglass dries. Without it you will create waving outside.
Like Mika said -- it's also to provide a bit of a cushioning so your hull isn't wrapped around a hard spot, perhaps leading to undue stress on the hull later on.
