Sail Life Cool episode Ava&Mads 👍-up.
Welcome back Mads and lovely Eva !! Glad you have a girlfriend now Mads !!
Takes his girlfriend on a glorious glorious sanding date.
This is pretty funny
best comment i've ever seen on yt.
Look after her mads I'm sure you won't find very many girls who will sand overhead for a few hours at a time lol
I have to ask, is there any other kind of date? I am curious.
Like sanding through the fibreglass - these are the days of your life...
LOL the viking raided California and brought a woman back to wash his boat! :p j/k, what a great team!
LOL
DUDE! That was awesome! She helps you work on your boat and she's funny! total keeper!
You are 1 funny guy, learning while I laugh, more entertaining than 20 years of SNL, keep up the glorious,glorious DIY.
From someone who has worked in the marine industry for over 30 years, this was refreshingly professional- well done!
Best episode ever. Ava is the best addition to the channel yet.
She fits right in...wow...
Love the lastest addition to the channel! Very refreshing! She's a keeper!
Well that was different. Good news on the sponsored material supplies - which you deserve because of your painstaking effort to research and ensure that you do things right. Good to see Ava on screen with you and boosting your morale and the project productivity.😉 Could have done with some music - how about ‘Sand by your Man’ 😂
"Sand By Your Man"? .....Wow, I got nothin'
😂😂😂
Great to see Ava working on Athena too. Really enjoyed this one...and the bloopers!
She's a wonderful addition to this project, great sense of humor.. Absoulte keeper!!!
Hahaha, you guys are great together. Creating a great bond together, just sanding around looking at each other. She's a keeper Mads
She’s a keeper.
I’m glad you have someone to help you shoot video. Talking to yourself makes you look like a Mads Man.
omg, I've watched from the beginning, Ava has transformed the channel, don't let her go home. Brilliant, funny and unmissable, thanks Mads, one lucky guy.
Ava makes a nice addition to your informative and enjoyable videos. As always I enjoy your wonderful humor.
When we saw the two of you suited up in your sanding suits, we knew you were made for each other. Enjoy!
Nice video. Good to see the 2 of you together. The "fails" at the end are great and keep the viewers aware of the real work outside Athena to get the videos out nicely. Nothing comes from a magic wand gesture. Work, work, work. Be happy!
I can’t believe your ocd self relaxed enough to let Ava enjoy some glorious glorious sanding! 🙈 Well done Team!
Ava is lovely and you two make a great couple. Cheers!
YES! Good to see Ava on the videos, I love the dual presentation, very dynamic!
Glorious glorious sanding ! Hahahahaha. How brilliant to let Ava in on the introduction. She is a great host too. Awesome work guys.
OMG Mads those outtakes were off the chart funny! Great to see Ava and you together,
YES! I thought I was going to go without a SailLife video this week.
Ahhh the couple that sands together.... you know the rest. As always loved the video keep up the great work!!!
Ah, the memories! Way back in the 80's, I repaired my (nearly new) Ron Holland designed 25 foot yacht. I was extremely fortunate to be living in Adelaide, South Australia, at the time, which "suffers from" extrermerly dry summer heat rolling from the desert interior of the country to the west. I was also fortunate to be able to store the yacht inside a disused shipbuilding shed, complete with mast still erect.
After grinding away the osmosis-affected gelcoat and substrate, we left the yacht in the shed to "bake" in temperatures of up to the low 40's. Then began the tedious process of adding multiple coats of epoxy mixed with microscopic glass spheres (avoiding micro-balloons to ensure an impenetrable surface), intersperced with seemingly endless fairing. Eventually, the many coats of epoxy were supplemented by several barrier coats of stuff (technical term for long-forgotten product name) designed to protect navigation buoys, primer/umdercoat and then antifouling.
I wish I had access to West Systems information at the time, but I did gain confidence that the hull was no longer going to suffer from osmosis.
so nice to see Ava joining you! I hope you had a great time on your vacation!
Matt Cross 👍
Weird watching this on a Monday afternoon. Compelling viewing as usual.
My preferred sanding channel! Hi to Ava too!
How much fun was this to watch, with all the spiffynees throughout this episode. You guys really looked like you were having a lot of fun working together and Athena is coming along to lol
What a team! You guys remind us both how we tackled our major refits on two boats in the past. The planning the setting up and the application (And the sanding ??? !!). Working together with a common goal and seeing real progress at the end of a shift. We did a big clean on Impavidus today (we are in a cheap marina in Portugal for a couple of days) . Working as a team just like you guys we got the top sides washed and jetted off, the hull above the water line washed and polished, the cabins hoovered and finally the clothes washed and hung out to dry. Sitting with a nice glass of red watching your vid, we had a smile. When you find someone that wants to share the way you guys do, take our advice, grab them with both hands and never let go! 35 Years on we still share the ups and downs of sailing life and would not change a thing!!! Safe sailing. Ant & Cid xx
lovely to see you and Ava together - you have looked really happy since you both got together.
Hi,,,Been following you for a while and I have to say your patience and tenacity to do everything so meticulously is amazing!!! something I could never do because I am a normal idiot... Thanks, I love your vlogs!!! Hope I live long enough for you to finish and show me that this boat is worth saving...It will be amazing, (great job) nothing like the original builders who obviously took every shortcut in the book...lol--- Oh yeah, Eva is special...kudos!
Your soooooo freaking lucky with sanding mate.
I had a boat gale once.
Few and far between.
Boat gales....
Single sailor here.
1968 model.
Salty.
Heavily sailed.
Mostly broken.
In need of superficial repairs.
But stable with good bones.
Paid for .
No outstanding bills.
Cruise ready.
Sailor retired to trawler cruising inland Florida to outer banks .
Seasonal
Travel with the seasons.
Ex sailor with open mind to go back to sailing maybe.
Trawler is so plush.
Fresh bottom.
So nice.
Throw me a line.
Great video.
Thanks for it.
Great job.
Mars,she’s a definite keeper,traveling across a continent and ocean,to sand and glass,yup,put a ring on it.One dang spiffy lass!!
Love the out takes. You should take us all on a trip around where you live and where you go as all I have known is the boatyard!!
The outtakes where the best part of the video
At least tomorrow going to be just as bad so that's nice. That statement officially made you the most optimistic human on earth. Laughed till I cried.
The outtakes, they were great! Thank you.
Things sure do seem to go smoother and faster with help!
great job. like the bloopers.
A couple that sands together stays together!
You two are great fun. Your sweetie deserves a metal. The out takes are great.
Cheers
Hey Mads, cut your cloth to length, roll it onto long cardboard tubes then you can do way bigger pieces - waterline to keel foot - fewer joints, better job. I used a lot of tailors tools when doing my Centaur: flexible tape, shears, rotary cutters & brown pattern paper to cut the exact shape. The boats looking great!
I love the war paint on the forehead Mads.I am totally accustomed to that look. Good to see the safety gear.
She fits in seamlessly! What a catch!
Wow your a happy person alone but with Eva you are simply glowing. I get it, her smile is killer and she not scared to get a bit dirty. Can't wait until the two of you are exploring some tropical island. I'm beginning to think the two of you won't need to rely on your programming skills to fund your travels.
Loved the video, you folks work well together on this amazing project. Thanks for sharing the bloopers.
It's great to see you both enjoying the process!
I'm just pleased she was able to do a "Good Morning, guys."
WOW! that is a HUGE cost savings for you Mads!!! Glad you have suppliers that are taking notice of your channel.
Honestly given the consistently high overall production quality of his videos, Mads' sponsors are getting a pretty good deal, too. And no worries about their products being shown with anything less than good workmanship.
Still, with only 45K subscribers, and unknown number of "viewers" that's pretty impressive. I know channels with more viewers (150K~250K) that have very high quality productions and workmanship that just don't get anything without a positive review of the product, therefore they turn them down. Others want and advertisement when supplied with the product. This is fine for a SOLICITED request for product (i.e., He West Systems, please supply me with all my products needed). From what I could tell, they reached out to him and said "hey Mads, here, have some product". For his size channel, that's not all that common...not with the hundreds of dollars of stuff he was given that can't just be "returned" when done (i.e., tool reviews, computer equipment, etc.).
Not dishing Mads at all...He has definitely been able to bring himself to the attention of some good companies...more so than others of even larger channel sizes.
Wish I could FFW in time and see you sailing. Love to see it all :)
This is so cool, I love your new amped-up production!- you two make a wonderful team!
Loved watching a Danish guy teach an American how to speak English. LoL You two make a great couple and team!
Great video and great to see you have some help again!
Great to see you having so much fun. What a team!
You guys are a great team! Can't wait to see Athena in the water. That is when the real fun begins! Aloha!
Very happy for both of you, so nice to watch. Wishing you the best!
Nice to see you again. Great job working together.
Love the out takes, you two are a great couple!
Sharp knives and fingers - I was freaking out...Great working togetherness...awesome team...
So good to see you again AVA.......and especially good to see the two of you together !!!
OMG two peas in a pod! Ava is a perfect match for Mads..... The outtakes were pretty funny.... I am thinking she is realizing how mads truly is...ocd.... but in the quest for true spiffiness... one's gotta do what one's gotta do...
i wouldn't have thought that your channel could get any better. man i was wrong. Cute couple, great job and so much fun to watch. Thank you both!
You two look very happy together, great video.
It's great to see Ava. She gives a fresh look on this episode the bloopers were hilarious, keep up the good work
What a great team you make! Love it.
Better late than never ;-) Welcome back Ava. Hope you liked the hollyday, and especially Norway off course.
I’ve been watching this channel for a long time and this was the best to date, you are brilliant together and the out takes are brilliant what a lovely couple you make.
Very happy to see you back online!! I had to watch reruns 😢 last week to get my fill of glorious sanding. 😜😜 I feel much better this week. Also great progress and can’t wait to see the haul completed before winter.
Outtakes are great! Mads I'm glad you found someone to annoy you for the rest of your life 😂😂
Can wait to see the boat in the water and both of you sailing in it with big smiles on your faces ! lol !
Great video, and welcome Ava!!
Great to see you guys so happy together and sharing the sanding. Ava seems to be a seasoned scrubber and knows how to handle big tools!! Best of luck to you both.
The blooper reel is even better....
As always, great video...a sailors true date night, boat work. Outtakes hilarious. Smart move, moving the through hulls.
Very funny out takes :-) As well as sanding having someone else working makes varying camera angels whilst working also possible for quick cuts. Looking forward to more videos.
Best episode ever! You guys should filmed some videos of the trip too! I saw on Ava stories and seemed that you guys went to some really cool places!
Hey there.... I'm so happy that you both are together now. It makes the job so much more fun and maybe a lot faster. Wish you both all the happiness you can stand. Great job!
I do love the outtakes at the end ! Just finished my introduction video and so glad I’m not the only one that messes up .... I was worse but still!
love the blooper where she teases a bit about your ocd. Great video this week. Maybe she could change careers
You make a great team. Wish you all the best
Bravo nice job guys. I really enjoyed having Ava join you.
Mads, she's a keeper. All that sanding and even looks good in tyvek. Way to go, Ava!
Awesome job guys, looks like she’s been involved since the beginning!
Awesome show, Ava is a great addition to the crew,
Nice sponsorship! Looking forward to weeks of sanding, fairing, and painting!
We are so happy for you guys. Best wishes always. Jose and Kate
This was a wonderful video.
My Love and I enyojed the way Ava was getting part of the video.

We had a big laugh about the outtakes. We find it so lovely that you guide Ava with so much love and humor.
Great job👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Welcome Ava to the diy refit videos. Mads you did good! Got to be a lot more enjoyable working for your goals together.
She is the cutest! You two are great together. Looking forward to seeing you both working on Athena in the future!

Loved the outtakes...you're a lucky man Mads..
Fun video, thank you Mads and Ava :)
Ava fits into the video so well, has she ever been in many videos besides home movies before? She looks very at ease, relaxed and articulate. I hope you and Ava are enjoying this visit very much, but I am so happy to see a Sail Life episode in my subscriptions tab. You two make a very happy looking and adorable couple 💗
Great episode Mas. Bloopers were funny at the end. The personal interaction between you two was great. You wont regret getting rid of the second head....two heads is a real pain. Well done :)
Good to see you back! Mads, Ava is a winner. Time to put a ring on her finger!
That's funny. Knowing him. He'll make the Ring. Ha
From old bronze through holes...
You guys look happy together!
