Upholstery is such a demanding skill with Chris doing it wonderfully. Then Aladino giving all his attention on learning a new skill. Can see why both are skilled craftsman.
With the amount of time you're spending on Netherlands topics, you've become a giant Netherlands and Friesland promo! Thank you for sharing your thoughts and views on the Netherlands, you've got me very curious about what's coming about Scandinavia/Sweden the next few months!
Aladino's shirt is perfect! It says, here is a person that chooses the endless work of varnish over paint, resin or something else. For those that understand, it speaks volumes.
Beau - ootiful, Beauti - FUL, beau - ootiful ... Looks so comfy too! Thank you for the music - Careless Love - Madeleine Peyroux! What a treat - you were right!
The Maya "Smile" is back and is a thing of Joy to behold.....Well done both of you.... To see you back on your travels has made me smile as well.... :-)) xx
It was a grand surprise to watch a professional upholsterer once again. My paternal grandfather was a master upholsterer. Watching this video brought back pleasant memories of by gone days. Thanks for the memory reminder! You two are simply amazing. Love to watch two people who add to their complementary relationship with positive reinforcement skills. Blessings! Fair winds!
The term for making sure the velour or velvet will lay correctly is called following the nap of the fabric, unfortunately it can lead to a lot of waste fabric but it’s so nice to see someone else make cushions 😆 especially when he showed you how much the fabric can stretch cutting on the bias Thank you Chris for giving magic carpet her comfy final touches 🤗
What a great episode! Maya, your sultry, melodious voice is so soothing, and your background music is superb! And watching the two craftsmen at work is a treat! Just wonderful!
I love watching upholstery being done. Watched the men in my family doing this ... Your vessel is Stunningly beautiful guy's. Thanks for sharing your life with us and fare winds and following sea's ✌🏼💗😊❣️
its a joy to hear the excitement in your voice about being back on the water, its been a long slog so you so deserve this , drink of lifes full cup !!!! The laughter is genuine, and the joy radiates thank you so much for bringing us along , fairwinds young lady
You guys got such beauty of a vessel, i would love to see her in person one time, i would be checking out the details, craftmanship, etc. at this point she is basically all of it .... history, engineering, home, safe place, rescue, everything. :D
It's amazing to see how pieces of fabric and a talented hand worker are making the difference. The new cushions are looking great. It's like you have a brand new boat. Congratulations to Chris.
We just had to marvel how after Kris would show Aladino how to do something he took to it like a duck to water. Kris never even looked to see how Aladino was doing as he could tell he was a master in his own right. The intelligence you both seem to have is remarkable and make you a joy to watch.
I do hope more sailors really appreciate the level of skill brought to projects like this. And not just at the high end craftmanship we see here. The materials, the time to do the work, and the time to hone the skills, all add up to what a project like this will cost. And too many folks will cast aspersions at the craftsmen about that price. Great video guys, thanks for giving a lovely view into this.
you have to respect the generosity of some individuals when they step up and assist, of course being on film is free advertising and should do so much as well as show such happy customers who appreciate the efforts that some will go to
Aladino and Maya, I recently discovered you and watched a lot of your videos in one breath and enjoyed your adventures. I wanted to join in a large number of compliments you receive too. Aladino, your skill as a master craftsman is evident in what you have generously shared with us. Maya, your videos are really well done, what can I say .. congratulations! Thank you for your work, you are a source of inspiration!
Nothing like a sailing Magic Carpet Video uploaded on the first day of my club's season! Can't wait for the next episode in Harlingen. Safe travels on the Kiel or the Belts, and good luck on your way to Sweden. Fair Winds! -J
Love this,. Kris is so talented. I've sewn horrible looking camping gear (still useful) which taught me enough to really appreciate seeing it done by skilled hands. The color is perfect. I think if ever we're in the same patch of sea I'll have to peek inside. It's wonderful to think that every time you see your cushions you'll feel joy. Probably every corner of Magic Carpet. (I feel joy making my tiny contribution.)
So interesting to watch a true craftsman at work. Mia, I don't know if it's the European sunshine, or the anticipation of a summer of sailing, but you are absolutely glowing in your ending remarks. I don't think I've seen you look more beautiful on the channel. That adorable crop-top doesn't hurt either. I look forward to your summer adventures with great anticipation!!
Maya and Aladino: we enjoy watching your videos. you are great story tellers and your videos are just more enjoyable than other "big sailing channels" due to added music your violin level. love from San Francisco.
Madeleine Peyroux voice and music is gorgeous. So I took a break from this Sailing Magic Carpet vid for an hour or two. But I'm back now. Lovely interlude.
WOW!!! I don't know where to start. The entire video is work of art. The cushions being made with a background music along with your overlaid narration and finally a splashed ⛵. I've been huge fan of Madeleine's jazz... Years ago went to her concerts in Washington DC; it was packed and awesome!
I love watching a true craftsperson at work be it Aladino and his boat work, the people you meet on your travels, or your music- each is an art and is to be appreciated. ❤️
Chris has amazing skills, the new upholstery is absolutely Gorgeous . You have been Blessed with an incredible gift . 🙏 🙏 the editing and music was awesome as usual. Looking forward to the next episode ⛵️⛵️🥰
Fantastic video. Always a pleasure to watch a craftsman of Chris's caliber. Aladino's laser like focus was great to see. Careless Love is a favorite of mine. Great listening.
MC1 looks so very good, and Maya your face at the end of the video with the promise of sharing adventure on your brow, that is the heart of all of this. Joy in living life to the fullest, can't wait to see what comes next.
Many years ago in the UK there used to be a radio presenter doing the breakfast show on radio 2. His name was Terry Wogan, and he used to play quite a lot of Madeleine Peyroux. If you like Careless Love, may I suggest her early work like 'dance me to the end of love'. An amazing singer, and that is from someone who is not a fan of jazz. As for Magic Carpet, whoever gets her when you sell is going to get an amazing boat. With the amount and quality of work you two have put into her, I would argue better than original.
Who'd have known, upholstery is boatbuilding in foam. Chris and Aladino found their match, each a perfectionist and master craftsman! Are you sure you want to let go of Magic Carpet Mk I?
The upholstery looks amazing and I'm also really excited to see your experiences in Sweden as I'm quite intrigued to see if it's possible for me and my sailing barge.
Looks amazing the interior of the boat wow 😮 an another talent for deano 🤣🤣really looking forward to more amazing trips you two produce an some more of your amazing musical talents along the way so roll them out let’s go 👍🤣
Wow he did an incredible job! Such beautiful workmanship. Do you think he would be able to send some back for us without seeing the foam? you have room in one of your suitcases, right? 😂
Of course you do an extremely good job at presentation and the work done shows real craftsmanship. Reading the comments, I was hoping to find some from old salts with different points of view because while all is very well done, there are alternatives and I would have enjoyed some give and take.
Great work Kris. I grew up surrounded by this kind of real art, that was my parents work, so I appreciate it very much. My fj8ãoather also uses Dakron to involve the foam, and, in some cases he uses high density type, which was more stiff and more durable, however, more expensive. Once again great job and great gesture from Kris. And now Magic Carpet, has new and beautiful cushions👍👍👍👍😍
The Golden Globe Race is underway. Are you finding time to keep an eye on Kirsten Neuschafer? I find myself checking the app several times a day. Thanks for making me aware of the race.

It is always a delight to watch a skilled craftsman, who has mastered his trade. Chris joins Aladino in that rare company.
It is so satisfying to watch master craftsman at work.
Madeleine Peyroux's cover of "Dance Me To The End Of Love" is incredible. Such a wonderful album. Thank you for reminding me.
With the amount of time you're spending on Netherlands topics, you've become a giant Netherlands and Friesland promo! Thank you for sharing your thoughts and views on the Netherlands, you've got me very curious about what's coming about Scandinavia/Sweden the next few months!
I fully agree!
I bet Chris is really delighted to have had you and your thousands of followers watch him skilfully make those cushions. Beautifully videos and told.
Aladino's shirt is perfect! It says, here is a person that chooses the endless work of varnish over paint, resin or something else. For those that understand, it speaks volumes.
Kris , you are very generous and skilled craftsman. The cushions look wonderful!

Cushions look stunningly beautiful.
Congratulations for having this
😍🥰
What brilliant talent Chris has. The craftsmanship is amazing.
What a nice gesture by him with your cushions, cool guy - Denmark is a great country, the real land of the Vikings :-)
This was so beautifully shot and edited.
So many tools I didn't know existed ..in action !! Great to watch an expert do complicated tasks with ease.
The Maya "Smile" is back and is a thing of Joy to behold.....Well done both of you.... To see you back on your travels has made me smile as well.... :-)) xx

It's truly awesome to watch a master craftsman do great work so efficiently and effortlessly. 👍👏👏👏
Thanks for watching Dean :)
Magic Carpet looks great! Unbelievable how much work was accomplished in this refit. You both deserve to be very proud of yourselves!
Thank you so much :)

The button production process is excellent! Great skills Chris!

I don't think I've seen you look more beautiful on the channel. That adorable crop-top doesn't hurt either. I look forward to your summer adventures with great anticipation!!
Fantastic that you are both afloat on the refurbished Magic Carpet, look forward to your sailing adventures. Take Care.
Thanks for reminding me about Madeleine Peyroux, Careless love is such a nice album.
Her singing reminds me a lot of Billy Holiday🙂
I got a strong Billie Holiday vibe from Madelaine's voice.
BTW bought a copy of the album 👍👍👌👌👍👍
Cheers Eric
The details as such are so important for protection, which is appreciated by all of us.
Maya and Aladino: we enjoy watching your videos. you are great story tellers and your videos are just more enjoyable than other "big sailing channels" due to added music your violin level. love from San Francisco.
What a great job done by a good guy! Your saloon really pops! I just love your enthusiasm Maya! Very infectious! It truely is where you belong!
I just found the whole album on utube of “Careless Love” , going to listen now….the whole boat looks new now! Congratulations!
New cushions, like fresh paint make such a wonderful improvement.
Well done Chris!
Your shining face when you talk about the upcoming summer adventures is worth the hole experince! Thank you 🥰😇
watching an expert work their craft is almost like praying.
Madeleine Peyroux voice and music is gorgeous. So I took a break from this Sailing Magic Carpet vid for an hour or two. But I'm back now. Lovely interlude.
Madeleine Peyroux is worth taking a break from most things haha!
It's great to see you guys so smiley and happy
It’s always fun to watch a craftsman work!
Nice work Chris, way to step up!
Wow, Chris made that look o-so easy, but clearly it's an art!
WOW!!! I don't know where to start. The entire video is work of art. The cushions being made with a background music along with your overlaid narration and finally a splashed ⛵. I've been huge fan of Madeleine's jazz... Years ago went to her concerts in Washington DC; it was packed and awesome!
Thank you so much Earl :)
Chris really did you a solid it is beautiful. Thanks so much for taking us along.
Very interesting to watch the upholstery work - I've always wondered how those buttons were attached.
I love watching a true craftsperson at work be it Aladino and his boat work, the people you meet on your travels, or your music- each is an art and is to be appreciated. ❤️
I know it's the magical, fiets-mad Netherlands but there does seem to be quite a lot of bikes in that upholsterer's studio!
You guys were in my hometown and I missed you guys 😳 Enjoy the new cushions!
Simply Wow. A trade that is an Art. Thank you for exposing us to this craftsman and his shop, and his gift.
Love the color of the cushions.
MC I is getting more beautiful every week.
Be careful Maya that Aladino doesn't fall more in love with her than you! 😉
Congratulations for the workshop Chris.
Lovely cushions.
I loooved this , cause I love sewing . Chris is amazing artisan , well done ! This was fun !
Magic has a new sense of magic, well done.
I loved seeing the upholstery process which was up to your standards:)
The blue pillows will highlight your eyes!!
Chris, you are the best! So nice to have your wonderful craftsmanship on Magic Carpet. Looking forward to summer in Scandinavia as we skip into fall.
Awesome video guys and Chris is a credit to his craft. Thanks for sharing!
Everything looks so good now that it’s done. Love the cushions. Congrats on finally finishing it!
You two are a great match, artistic in your own way, different enough to be interesting and both comitted to excellence.
Amazing upholstery work! I know you guys will cherish that for years and years to come! Love your channel!!
Thank you Rick!

All the chef de cuisines understood you Aladino!!!!
Absolutely beautiful! Magic Carpet looks fantastic!
I love atrocious puns so ... one might say the cushions were created by Chris Craft ... Thank you and safe journeys from Montana !

Cushions you say? Seams easy. 🥰 All kidding aside, I have massive appreciation for such work. I can barely hem jeans.
Awesome!! Hugs from the end of the world, ushuaia argentina. See you one day little dini.
Loved this transformation. Amazing!! Love you both so much!!
It's nice to see you getting back onto the water
Wow looks like a brand new boat, the cushions are gorgeous 😍.
wow, you know it's a master working, when he makes it look so easy
Who'd have known, upholstery is boatbuilding in foam. Chris and Aladino found their match, each a perfectionist and master craftsman! Are you sure you want to let go of Magic Carpet Mk I?
Great to see Chris at work. And I freakin love the color and fabric you chose.
- 🇨🇦 LOVE 'Careless Love' (saw her live in Toronto) !!!
The upholstery looks amazing and I'm also really excited to see your experiences in Sweden as I'm quite intrigued to see if it's possible for me and my sailing barge.
Guys the music you use on all your videos is great. I am power watching to catch up. Alan from Australia
Looks amazing the interior of the boat wow 😮 an another talent for deano 🤣🤣really looking forward to more amazing trips you two produce an some more of your amazing musical talents along the way so roll them out let’s go 👍🤣
Magic Carpet is beautiful! Can't wait until we are all with you guys on your summer of adventures!
Wow he did an incredible job! Such beautiful workmanship. Do you think he would be able to send some back for us without seeing the foam? you have room in one of your suitcases, right? 😂
Love your music and the interesting making of cussions
Chris is so nice.
Of course you do an extremely good job at presentation and the work done shows real craftsmanship. Reading the comments, I was hoping to find some from old salts with different points of view because while all is very well done, there are alternatives and I would have enjoyed some give and take.
It’s a beautiful thing. I’m so happy for you guys.
Great work Kris.
