On our way to the Mediterranean! [Ep. 3]

- After four years in the boatyard following her tragic accident, Magic Carpet sets sail once again! Now that she can float, we transported her to Basel, Switzerland, where we will start the long canal journey through France out to the Mediterranean.
I didn't have as much time to make this episode, because we're still frantically doing last minute preparations for the canal journey. However, I hope it's still enjoyable -- the spectacular sight of a Vindo 32 under sail is usually enough to capture a boat lover's attention!

You guys pick the coolest music!
Don’t mind me, apparently I’m binge watching lol. 😎⛵️😎⛵️😎
Thoughtful to have the previous owner there for the launch. It is almost like Magic Carpet broke the trailer on purpose when she saw the crane! I’m glad you were able to persevere to get her safely in the water.
Gah! So so exciting! Thanks for your fab vids x The boat looks fabulous - well done!!
Alidino is a intelligent man to be able to fix such a disaster. Well done man. Keep living the dream. Your journey has started. We all wish what you are doing we could do when we retire.
Thank you for this and all of your other kind comments on our videos!
One of the most beautiful sailing-channel with lovely stories i see so far and i see a lot of sailing-channels, congratulations for the extremely good works on the boat, Magic Carpet looks fantastic, i´m looking forward to Your next episodes ;)
See You soon and sorry for ma catastrophic "English" ;)
Just found you two. You're both cute. Love your spirit. Keep making videos!
She's beautiful, remarkable recovery. Thank You
Caramba What a woman especial
Your narrative and enthusiasm are infectious...makes me want to sail away now, but I can't, following you two for now...favorable winds!
I hope you can one day too! It took us about 4-5 years of dreaming and working very hard before we could sail away either.
Sailing Magic Carpet I know, if you see my videos you can.see how lucky you guys are and how much more work I have, but Italy here I come ...cheers!
Sail Oria complete refit We certainly feel fortunate! It took four years of (mostly Aladino's) work, but here we are. Best wishes to you on your lovely project! I hope we see each other out sailing when your boat is completed!
Congratulations! All your hard work is finally paying off. The boat looks beautiful. Thanks for another great video! I'm looking forward to seeing your new adventure!
Richard Wilson thank you so much Richard! We really appreciate you following along! We are also looking forward to the adventure ahead
Awesome that the original owner got to see her live again and floating :D
Meh sorry taken so long to watch these, I seen your first couple episodes back when first published but never got around to subscribing and watching the rest until now.
That's gotta feel good!!! love ya guys!!! Be safe out there
-Ster
Rinkus _ it sure does! And we’ll stay safe 💙 big love!
Muy Bien
Love a tiller it is the only way to feel the boat.
The Vindö has a very good end stability. They will heal over easy to aprox 30 degrees, and then it takes a LOT of sailarea and wind to get more healing
I've been watching a few of your latest videos so I had to go back and start from the beginning to get the history of the boat. Aladino has done an amazing job on the Vindo 32. Such beautiful lines and a very worthy cause to restore. I know that Maya came in towards the end of the project and she compliments Magic Carpet and Aladino marvelously and of course she is so much more than a pretty face because with out her, we wouldn't have had these wonderful videos documenting the entire endeavor. It's great to see the younger generation working so hard to realize their dreams. Like you, I am an avid fan of Delos, La Vagabonde and others. And now I can ad SMC to that list. I am inspired! Well done, keep up the good work!
I love your videos. Have you recorded any of your music? If not you should. And that is a beautiful boat.
Beautiful voice!
Do you have problems with microphones melting
Nice job, consider going on patreon.
Flemming Vestergaard thank you! We are looking into patreon and will have an account set up soon!
So I think you'll find this is an interesting comment. I really liked the music you set this video to, so I wanted to download the song from iTunes. Low and behold, "Black and Blue" from Benny sings doesn't appear to match up with the song you credited above. Can you tell me who it is, and the name of the song? Thanks Great channel BTW, I subscribed. I'd like to see where your adventure takes you both! Safe travels, and fair winds!
Jim Merriman Hi there! It is black and blue by Benny, but it is a remixed version. Look for the Pat Van Dyke remix of the song.
Thanks, great music selections. So much music I haven't heard before! You two have have great musical taste!
which song is it in the starting of the video.
Why is there a Dutch flag waving on your boat?
That is the boat's flag state.
I like your way of Story telling 👍🏼
Dive Monster thank you very much, this comment means a lot to me!
@@SailingMagicCarpet pleaaaasee write a book! You speak like an author. Love from Galveston Island, Texas, United States. Stop here some day, and I'll stock your boat with fresh provisions/ and take yall out to town and to my restauraunt!
@@SailingMagicCarpet I agree and your singing
Love your channel but can you find a safer place for your cell phone?
Glad too hear about your adventures. I live 44 miles from the center of North America. 40 miles from Canada.
I just found you a few days ago and also needed to go back an see the beginning. What a great story and saving a fine sailing boat. Thanks for video documenting the rebuild and beginning of your new adventures.
The old owners must be thrilled knowing she lives to sail again. Our vessels have their own identity and soul. The loss of a vessel is actually heartbreaking. It's like losing a member of the family. Bravo for keeping her alive!!!
Cheers from Seattle!
I posted before seeing the part where the previous owner came to see her floating again. I love that...
That is sooo sweet the previous owner got to see her! I love that story
She is absolutely gorgeous great work and Thank you for bringing her back to life
You guys are great, keep it up 👍
I love your music choices in your video's .. awesome.
@00:33 I'm no expert. I just wonder though, is that traveler mounted to something strong enough to handle the force a main will put on it?
Just discovered your wonderful channel, and very excited to watch through all these, and follow along on your journeys. Thanks very much for documenting all of this!
Wow you could make an easy living singing!
Travel from bar to hall to city center and put out a hat you would do great! Fantastic sound!
my hope is my daughter lives a life of adventure like yours. Best wishes from Canada
That's quite a mission to go sailiing! Makes for a great story. Love the music too. Good luck.
..just subscribed.. What a beautiful boat! He did a wonderful job! Looking forward to following along!
congratulations MAGIC CARPET looks awesome {:-) PAV
astonishing and inspirational! i look forward to binge-watching all your episodes and catching up!! marvelous storytelling, beautifully edited, awesome music, and AMAZING violinist!! :)
Just started watching your story.... great videos! Much love from Mexico
Magic Carpet is the most immaculately beautiful sailboat I've seen in a long time. The wooden finished deck and varnished companionway is perfect.
What is the idea as referred to the title?
Falling in love with your trip, something I have wanted to do for a long time. You guys are great. Love your music, you are really a good artist. May you have safe travels.
Thank you so much Joesph, really glad you found our channel and are enjoying our videos.
Just love your life story ... Thus far..... 😊 admire your music & instrumental interludes, I saw CURLEW VIDEO quite some time ago & loved your tenacity & learning abilities when it came to overhauling that engine... Your Dad is so cool ..
I'm having a 'corona V' lock down 'magic carpet fest day' & lovin it... ...
Love your boat and your lay back videos and your music choice is great Thank you for sharing your adventure
Loving your channel. Binge watching! You’re a remarkable communicator. How special that the previous owner rocked up. An important emotional connection to the boat’s former life. Please could you tell us why you’ve registered Magic Carpet in The Netherlands? Go well ... 👍🥇
Roy Clare Thank you so so much. We may even do a separate FAQ video on the flag thing... everyone is so curious! It's basically a flag of convenience. The Netherlands has very little bureaucracy and it is a simple, cheap, and straightforward flag to register. The Swiss flag is infinitely more complicated, and the Canadian flag has some restrictions for long term cruising around Europe. Plus, i liked it better than other flags of convenience, like cayman islands or panama. My family is all Dutch on my Dad's side and I still have a lot of relatives in Amsterdam who I visit, so there's a connection there.
Great videos,, fantastic story teller . I look forward to more stories!
What a love story!
Especially hitting her (trailer) with a 2x4!
So would Magic Carpet be considered a "shallow keel" boat, or what? I know not, but the keel looks hefty but not really deep, to me. BTW, my childhood biases, I personally "like" a full keel as opposed to a "fin keel". Heck, I think I would add an additional centerboard [breakaway], or dagger board, option just to experiment with pointing up wind.
I am running through your videos a second time. I THOUGHT I had liked every one I watched but apparently not.
I subscribe (once) and like each one in case that offers you any benefit.
Impressive work guys well done greetings from California
She looks magnificent in the water. I also had an experience like that on my Cutlass 32’, but managed save her before she keeled over. Aladino and Maya you’re doing a great job of the videos
Are you a Ravensdaughter? Anyway, beautiful singing.
Beautiful video as well, the narratives, body language & vivid facial expression flowed so natural as the water you sail or about to.
Kudos
Finally one vindø FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!! EVEN I GET A TEAR IN MY EYE 😢 mine is a vindø 30 (30ft) 1967 very old, for now...... 😁 will be like new soon 😉 , please more videos PLEASE
Awww :) more videos coming right up!!
Always very enjoyable to watch your lovely travelogues.
Love your videos, keep em coming! :)
A little question.
Can one of those container ships (such as at ) can travel from Basel to Mediterranean ? I assume they can travel from Basel to North Sea. But can they do the same for Mediterranean ?
Great series by the way. Enjoyed it.
... new to Magic Carpet ... she's a beautiful vessel ... guess I'm gonna be binging for a while ...
If your ever back in Switzerland go to my Brother and Sister in Laws Japanese Tea Cafe.
Just found your adventures by chance and love what your both enjoying and sharing with us . 😎
Really enjoying your VLOG. Where in Switzerland were you sailing. I used to have a small boat in Baechau on lake Zürich. Now we are in Singapore.. Mast und Schott Bruch!
I do like your videos. Keep them coming.
my dear, in English the „Bodensee“ is called „Lake of Constance“
Beautiful rescue folks, kudos! So nice to see her sailing again, many happy and safe travels to you!
So I just started following you guys the story about three or four months ago. This is the first time I’ve watched this video where you guys actually got to sell her for the first time. The smile on Aladino’s face is absolutely awesome. You can just tell that he’s so happy to actually be sailing this work of art he has labored on for over four years now, and seeing his work come to life that joy comes out in his face as he’s sailing in this first video.
Aw yes he had many reasons to be proud on that day!! Thank you so much for watching and for commenting Johnny! -Maya
you have made a wonderful job of restoring Vindo 32. I love your commentary, and the photography is good too. The most watchable channel on TH-cam!
Thank you so much for such lovely comments!!
This boat is the perfect size for me AND I have an extra dollar! :-)
I'm so proud of you for rescuing this boat; you did a fantastic job. I've spent a lot of winters in Switzerland, it's nice to see the summer months are just as beautiful.
Lovley to see a Vindö in a sailing channel :D beautiful boats Not sure how much you know about the boat but they are from a little Island between Orust (Swedens third biggest island) and the mainland. I live like 15 min away from Vindö :) And she really aint THAT small ;)
I love the way you Guy's tell the story. Love what Aladino has done to the boat! I met your chanel at part 8 so i went back to catch up with all you two have done, loved it! One question: As i am from the Netherlands i could not help but notice you sail under our (dutch) flag, why is that??
Greetings and fair winds!!

I do not know answer for sure, but if you are referring to all the flags hoisted on the stay, they answered this at 6:31, where they hoisted all their decorative flags to commemorate the occasion. This is known as Full-dress or Flying Holiday Colors ... however it is supposed to only be signal flags and not country ones. But many are not aware of this, technically flying any nation flag above another represents being conquered, again these days a lot are unaware of the old technical signalman codes, and even that varied around the world. Or many do not have enough signal flags and so substitute what all ones they do have (considering only had it on the forestay this is likely the case).
Also boats generally hoist flag for nation they are registered in. So it is possible even though he is from Switzerland, that the boat was actually registered in Netherlands and then that flag is hoisted typically at the stern of the ship. Or also courtesy flags are hoisted for which ever country you are in as well, as sign of respect and to signify that you have passed customs and are abiding by that countries laws.
Just inadvertently found you and U-Tube and enjoy your videos.
re the winches attached permanently? The outside can disappear easily in the water.
Hi you two- I've been sailing 50 yrs (where did that go!) built a lot of boats big and small and still work with big ones. I've watched a lot of Vlogs on sailing and most are a bit smug (can I say that?) yes they are.. a bit too self congratulating (ok why not). Anyway yours is not as you are just 'you' are great story tellers without trying to be someone else. They are very informative too. I started watching the last third but am hooked enough to start at the beginning. I look forward to the journeys ahead and will be doing the same journey very soon (from UK.south). You are doing a great job entertaining us - so go on be a little smug yourselves .. you've earned it! Thanks.
She’s beautiful and graceful. Congratulations!!🍾🎉🎈
Yeah, the crane lift is stressful even knowing it all went well. LOL
Really love the videos. You guys are great and this is a great adventure.
Great job - looking forward to watching the adventure!
I like the place where you put your smartphone.
As beautiful boat as there is. Great to keep this even for aesthetics. Great work!
That boat looks better than it did. Seriously.
Cool to see our home harbour at Kreuzlingen 😉 Nice to find you!!
And i was thinking that this lake and flora looked familiar XD
pretty people doing amazing things that I can watch....for free...well $/episode Patreon
Who sings the song from 1:05 onwards?
That's a beautiful boat but I'm not envious of you when it's time to sand and polish 🤣❤✌🏻
Looks gorgeous! I have already been all over Med by sea myself, I would beheaded to the Black Sea if she were mine. Thanks for the video! Glad to see you on the water and look forward to the videos from the canals.
What's the name of the song in the intro?
Vindo 32 honestly I guessed before I saw this! Cheers warren
