I wished I could afford to be a Patreon. But at 68 years old and only getting Social Security to live on. I barely can afford the internet and my 10year old laptop. I do look forward to Fridays!!! I didn't think I would like these episodes of refitting a boat. Boy was I wrong!! I would have never known how talented Aladino is. And of course, his amazing sidekick!!! lol!
Benny - you are helping - you are subbed - do you tick and watch / play the ads also comment - this triggers the youtubey cash register to send torrents of money to them (edit torrents to trickle) but like the song by Paul kelly "From little things big things grow" every little bit helps - now having a baby seems to increase patronage ?? so who knows haha
Clicking like and commenting helps the YT algorithm bring others to their channel, some of them will become Patreon's so you are doing your bit to help.
Dear benny spencer First of all: Happy new year! Your situation is a bit similar to mine. I'm almost 59yo and in early retirement since a long time because of health issues. Money is pretty rare/meager (even more in Corona/Covid 19 times with all those enormous price increases). I have only a 5yo smartphone with Android 6 (cannot afford other devices). I have to use a 24yo car and this becomes more problematic and more expensive every year. I would absolutely love to be a patreon for such fantastic projects/fantastic people but unfortunately I simply cannot afford it. I'm even a little bit ashamed to not to be able to be a patreon, sigh. OF COURSE I have watched absolutely all episodes (some even several times). I've always given thumbs up and nearly always commented. Usually I receive a heart and even an answer for my comment (which I both appreciated always and very much). I would love to donate some great/useful things for the hand writing that Maya does (for instance sandal wood paper and envelopes etc.). But the shipping costs are simply crazy expensive, even from Germany to Switzerland. But hopefully I will be able to find out the address of the Dutch shipyard where Magic Carpet lies. Shipping things to the Netherlands is a cheaper because it's inside the EU. Best regards, luck and health to all of you.
You are an inspiration! I am currently repairing hurricane damage and finishing a 50 foot catamaran and I constantly think of your attention to detail, cleanliness, and craftsmanship as I do my work. Thank you for your insights and taking me along on your journey. You have done more than just tell a story; you have inspired others and myself to tackle our own projects!
Wow, that sounds like a huge project!! We wish you all the best with it, and so so glad that our little project can help with some inspiration -- it certainly is important to feel like you're not alone with stuff like this.
Very inspirational videos you create, thank you! The work on my own boat does not feel so frightening after seeing the major surgery of yours! Keep on good work!
I used a jury beam supported by props and wedges to take the weight of the carlines, then using ratchet jacks, I laminated strips of wood in situ using as a former, the existing deck. The wood I used was Tasmanian Oak which glues well, and I built up the new beams to fit exactly the existing deck. The job was actually easier than it sounds. The only trick is to have the hull level at the scuppers before one starts laminating anything. The glue I used was epoxy resin.
Great opening shot of Atlas--err, Aladino--holding up the world of boat building--a least of Magic Carpets--together with Maya, the artist and multitasker extraordinaire.
When Magic Carpet II will be finished, she will be better then new! So you can face the elements with confidence. Really an amazing job both of you are doing. For some people it can look boring watching this episodes, but if you own a boat yourself it's looking to magic. And I almost forgot... Best wishes for this new year ;-)
In your spare time, (meant to be slightly humorous), do a little research, if you're so inclined, into the stresses in 'simply supported beams'. The maximum stress in your beam is most likely at the midpoint or at the points where the purlins join it, due to bending moment. The stress at the bearing ends is actually quite low and is primarily a shear load. Wood is much stronger in shear than it is in tension. This is not real intuitive. But it is valid, and quite common, to add a sister beam that does not go all the way to the ends of an existing beam. (assuming the ends aren't rotten). It adds strength where the load and therefore the stress is the highest. In the mid-section. You're doing the right thing. Just realize that the original repair was also "the right thing" if the end rot was not an issue at that time. That said, I'm a little surprised that this was not a double beam to begin with. This beam and the one at the other end of the cabin, have significantly greater loads, due to the purlins, than the other full-length beams. Don't mean to boar you with this stuff. Just thought you might want to know. Of course, this is an over simplified analysis based on no detailed information. Retired Engineer. Have a great time in Europe.
We can tell what an accomplished craftsman Aladino is by how thoroughly he works to understand the boat's construction; and what a good teacher he is by how "simple" his explanations make it seem. Your boat will be better than new, and more beautiful with all the new woodwork. May your New Year be rewarding and blessed!
I have a h28sailboat with a sabb g10 that I want to get off the hard. I'm 60 years old and I come from a family of sailors. This has been a life long dream for me. I love to see you both doing it. Peace and love.. Rolf
Fein make an adjustable depth fence that bolts onto the base adjacent to the oscillating chuck. Makes it even more useful particularly for cutting mortices and removing caulking from decks with the hook blade without digging into the teak at the bottom of the grooves.
You guys work well together. That's so cool. I feel like I'm getting to know you both so well. What a magnificent and complex project. The sense of accomplishment must be off the charts. Loved the outro music.
Have enjoyed so much seeing you and Aladino working on the boat together, he is truly a magician when it comes to repairing and upgrading an old sailboat! Keep up the good work on Magic Carpet II and looking forward to all the work you will be doing on the original Magic Carpet. Good luck on getting Magic Carpet II in the water and off to smooth sailing sooner rather than later!
Once again another successful project underway and looking MUCH better than what you had to start with. When you first started showing the problems with the sister-board configuration my mini-construction memories kicked in and screamed WHY didn’t they take it all the way to the side walls where it would be supported across the length. They could have easily cut the distance in half and with a nice scarf joint somewhere they could have spanned the entire length and possibly it could have saved you some work now. At the end of the day it’s clearly obvious that the work you are doing now is light-years ahead and so much better for the long haul you will be taking out on your blue water sailing adventures. I little overkill now for your safety and security is never a bad thing. Great job and looking forward to your next video to see what you’ve been able to get done before you return to Europe for a while. Happy New Year to you both.
Love the amount of intelligence you two have! Just wonderful! I’m also glad to hear you will continue to put out videos while you stall this project to get your visas. Thank you!
I like the channels that have boat work interspaced with sailing - that is the reality . Boats are in a tough environment and not only constantly coming apart but also deadly if you let it get too bad .
Continue to be so impressed with Aladino's skill and work ethic. He's not a believer in taking shortcuts just to make something a bit easier, and has the skills to back it up. You're both doing a great job - congrats on the project thus far, and Happy New Year to you.
Sounds like we need to give Aladino a promotion. He's now a doctor with a marine surgical specialty. Congratulations Dr. Aladino! This is an extraordinarily impressive project and I am learning a ton from both of you. Well done. Keep up the great work both of you are doing. All the best, Jim...
Happy New Year to you both. 2021 has brought those of us who follow your channel many interesting and educational videos as you proceed with MC2 repairs. I hope that choosing to sister on another beam and not replacing the original doesn’t detract from Aladino’s joy and pride in perfection. Just saying…. Safe journeys.
I saw the episode and thought the part of the original beam that supported the bridge deck looked a little skinny. If I wonder if the original leak was caused by flexing due to lack of at the deckhouse joint. I agree adding a full widths sister is the right fix.
I like that you both share in the analysis of the different situations that require work and come to a agreement as to how to proceed with the work! Keep up the good work! JIM
Gday Crew,,, Well,,if you didn't already have your work cut out for you .... You certainly do now ....!! Great episode. Cant wait for the next ,bring it on....!!! Respect from Down Under
omg I get an anxiety attack just looking at all the work you have done and all that is still to be done! That is a SERIOUS refit you are going through. Best of luck, and happy 2022!
I really love our videos and find our insightful commentary so useful as i work on restoration od a timber framed vintage car! I often see you using West epoxy and would be interested to hear of information sources for best ways to use this product. Cheers and for both of you have an amazing 22!
Thanks so much for watchinG! The Gougeon Brothers have a great book all about west system epoxy -- it's got pretty much everything you'll ever need to know in it!
Brilliant storytelling, Maya! Loved the tension at the beginning. It just sucks that we cannot travel - or stay - freely on our (relatively) tiny planet. Wishing you both the very best for 2022. I'll be watching with great pleasure!
Hubby and I have so enjoyed your travels and continuing adventures in boat renovations. We were both curious why the deck beam aft of the rotten one needed to be replaced…
Hi,happy new year to you both.if you look around there are many beams that are deeper in the centre and taper towards the supporting ends.this is a similar situation that you have with your beam and it’s sister..since both look to be in good order from a viewer’s position it looks as if it is fit for purpose.thank you for yet another informative and entertaining video.cheers,Roly🇬🇧.
Honestly 2021 was a challenging year. Sailing Magic Carpet has been a welcome bright spot though and we appreciate your work. Happy New Year you two, and thank you.
We need that Genie and Wish for new and upgraded Magic Carpet! But then again if it was possible, we'd never see these two gifted/talented people work their own Magic!!!!
Good job guys. The sister beam was made shorter because it was installed from below and could not be put onto the beam shelf. That is obvious from the deck plywood patch. They found rot in the plywood so they cut out the section. Then they found rot in the deck beam so they cut out some more deck plywood to find the extent of the rot. Then they cut out the rot in the beam and fit a filler piece but knowing that much of the beam strength was now gone they had to add a sister beam. The option was to remove the deck plywood all the way across and use a full length sister deck beam or to install a deck beam from below. They chose to install a shorter sister beam from below which is acceptable as long as the primary deck beam ends are in excellent condition and the two beams are fastened together properly. Those little bolts look undersized and/or certainly too few so it was not an engineer who specified them. And the ends of the original deck beam are not good now so it should be replaced. Yes you could install knees for support out further but that is a poor way to repair the problem. I could not tell from the video but I am sure the back end of the cabin (and companionway) sits on top of that deck beam which will make it much more challenging to remove. Most likely the plywood deck runs under the cabin wall. The only way to properly repair that critical area is the way you are doing it by removing the deck all the way across, removing both the sister and original deck beam and replacing it/them. Since that is not a full bulkhead supporting the front of the cockpit/back of the cabin all the way to the hull, that deck beam is extremely important. Carry on!
Your teamwork, talking problems through, rebuilding your boat is a love story for a generation. We are sailing in the Bahamas, wishing you a Happy New Year.
Incredibly impressed with skills and patience. Good luck on visas. Here in Canada in our province, we r coping with deluge of Covid #'s. Still some deaths and right now majority sick to some degree. #stayingpositivein2022 ❤️🇨🇦
So good to watch this major surgical procedure as the year known as 2021 gets its butt out of the door, I wish you both a very happy new year, May 2022 bring many happy hours of pleasure on your new cruiser.
You are an amazing couple, it's been a joy to watch, not only your superb skills, but especially to discover what a special partnership you share. Happy new year and all that is good and joyful together in 22.
Happy New Year you guys. You two are two shining stars in a sea of deep blue midnight skies. Watching you go the extra miles to fulfill your dreams is so inspirational and as I read comments, uplifting as well. Thank you for the joy you give to so many. You guys epically rock.
Thank you so much Callum, and happy new year! We're so appreciative of all the support you've given us and comments you've written to us over the past year.
3:25 = that is a ledger board. They had there deck repairs in a high traffic and load area (for whatever reason). As a precaution, or it was a calculated need; They added a ledger board.
Nice to see such good and thoughtful work. Looking forward to the next video. I wonder if you are in Europe and already in 2022 or if you are in the PNW at still have about 4 hours to go. Whatever... Happy New Year.
Thank you. Happy New Year. I'm looking forward to what is yet to come. In the background of this video is your fantastic boatyard and I am thankful for those people.
Beautiful work. I really admire the skill and affection you guys put into this project. I noticed that you always use the vacuum cleaner while using power tools. There is a vacuum attachment available for the Fein. Maybe that makes working a little bit easier for you. Respect, fair winds and best wishes for the New Year from the Netherlands. Lambert Willems
... I have so enjoyed watching you both work out problems and the thought processes to resolve them ... also love the fiddle tunes used in the background music as well as your playing ... MC II is one lucky boat to have you guys as caretakers ... Happy New Year ...
Good job! Skills, brains and beauty; a combination that's often hard to find! Btw; love the birds' twitter in the background. I wonder what they're chatting about🤔...
Great show guys right choice going with the sister beam to much to strip out otherwise boats looking great lot of work being done give yourselves a pat on the back an have well earned rest an reboot yourselves ready to get back to the states look forward to next week’s episode 😍👍
Bet Aladino could make short work of and proper repairs to a Morgan Plus 8 that would be astounding, dang this guy is a craftsman of the old school type! In this country what was once a decent education and career path through trade schools was replaced by "without a degree you're nothing" and this is what we get as a result, great design and repairs by a guy who's education was through a trade. Excellent work!
Hey guys, I've been down for the count and missed commenting on some of your vids because well, life has thrown me some challenges and I've just been a subscribed watcher for a few because I didn't have the muster to comment. But lemme tell you that your videos have helped me through some dark and scary life storms. Thank you both so much!! Also, I think I'd feel safe in anything Aladino (I hope that's spelled correctly) built!!!

Dear benny spencer
First of all: Happy new year!
Your situation is a bit similar to mine. I'm almost 59yo and in early retirement since a long time because of health issues. Money is pretty rare/meager (even more in Corona/Covid 19 times with all those enormous price increases). I have only a 5yo smartphone with Android 6 (cannot afford other devices).

I just come here for the violin theme coming in but i stay for the fine woodworking mysteries that you solve. Wonderful storytelling.
Maya I enjoy The way you narrate each episode it adds so much to it It is like reading a novel Thank you to both of you Enjoy your lives
Your new Magic Carpet will be the best Magic Carpet it can be!!
As always , well done. Thanks for taking me along .
Y'all are in a league of your own. Amazed at the storytelling and craftsmanship. Just damn! Looking forward to all the adventures.
So, so kind of you, thank you so much for watching and commenting Ole!

I used a jury beam supported by props and wedges to take the weight of the carlines, then using ratchet jacks, I laminated strips of wood in situ using as a former, the existing deck.

Aladino is such an incredible craftsman. It is so interesting to see how he tackles these complex issues.

A great watch, as always. Proud to be among your Patrons. Even if only able to support at a modest level, it’s a privilege to participate. 🎉💯

Great job! One of my favour channel!
I agree with Aladino. good job.
It is coming along well.
In your spare time, (meant to be slightly humorous), do a little research, if you're so inclined, into the stresses in 'simply supported beams'. The maximum stress in your beam is most likely at the midpoint or at the points where the purlins join it, due to bending moment. The stress at the bearing ends is actually quite low and is primarily a shear load. Wood is much stronger in shear than it is in tension. This is not real intuitive. But it is valid, and quite common, to add a sister beam that does not go all the way to the ends of an existing beam. (assuming the ends aren't rotten).

Absolutely correct Gary! Only that now the beam ends are Indeed also rotten.
Happy New year and thank you
Aladino. The Master Wood Surgeon! Makes all other carpenters look like wood butchering hacks. : )

Fein make an adjustable depth fence that bolts onto the base adjacent to the oscillating chuck. Makes it even more useful particularly for cutting mortices and removing caulking from decks with the hook blade without digging into the teak at the bottom of the grooves.

I’m just beaming to see that y’all were able to get that one good beam removed in one piece. Nice video guys.
It's always such a good feeling to finally tackle one of those looming challenges; making the hard decisions and moving forward. Looks great!
A New beam instead of more repairs would eventually equal a quieter ship. Amazing pulling the beam in one piece, Bonus!
Wonderful artisan skills on show and bringing a beautiful old boat back to life is very special. Great job guys.
Great plan... perfectly executed. Fun to watch. Thanks!

3:25 = that is a ledger board. They had there deck repairs in a high traffic and load area (for whatever reason). As a precaution, or it was a calculated need; They added a ledger board.
Happy New Year Maya and Aladino🙂👍 I love watching your videos. Keep up the great work🙂 Dave NZ.
I have really enjoyed this project.
Nice to see such good and thoughtful work. Looking forward to the next video. I wonder if you are in Europe and already in 2022 or if you are in the PNW at still have about 4 hours to go. Whatever... Happy New Year.
Thank you. Happy New Year. I'm looking forward to what is yet to come.
In the background of this video is your fantastic boatyard and I am thankful for those people.
Beautiful work. I really admire the skill and affection you guys put into this project.
I noticed that you always use the vacuum cleaner while using power tools. There is a vacuum attachment available for the Fein. Maybe that makes working a little bit easier for you.
Respect, fair winds and best wishes for the New Year from the Netherlands.

Thanks so much for the comment and for watching Geoff!
Love the video and project guys. I learn something new each video you share ,great job of explaining the process.
Happy New Year to you both and to all your subscribers Gpx
Bet Aladino could make short work of and proper repairs to a Morgan Plus 8 that would be astounding, dang this guy is a craftsman of the old school type! In this country what was once a decent education and career path through trade schools was replaced by "without a degree you're nothing" and this is what we get as a result, great design and repairs by a guy who's education was through a trade. Excellent work!
And we'll follow along on your adventures wherever they lead.
Hey guys, I've been down for the count and missed commenting on some of your vids because well, life has thrown me some challenges and I've just been a subscribed watcher for a few because I didn't have the muster to comment. But lemme tell you that your videos have helped me through some dark and scary life storms. Thank you both so much!! Also, I think I'd feel safe in anything Aladino (I hope that's spelled correctly) built!!!
Thank you for getting me through 2021.........Happy New Year!
Happy New Year from the Netherlands
Maya, I feel you. I would sister and epoxy them and sail to the sunset with no worries.
Can’t wait until the next video, and enjoy your next few months adventures! Happy new year may it be a prosperous one.
So many decisions to make! Great job to the two of you. You are a perfect team.
Happy New Year you lovely people. All of you.
Thanks so much Mike, and thanks for all the support and comments over the past year!
It seems to me Aladino should have been a surgeon as he is so careful and skilled. You are bot so talented in your disciplines.
