I must take issue with your statement, "we are people, just like everyone else." On the contrary: you two are quite remarkable.
Dear John Smith.
👍👌👏 Exactly what I thought and wanted to comment instantly too! But fortunately you already did all the writing work! ;-)
Best regards, luck and health.
There's not a lotta people commuting between continents from their one boatbuilding site to their other boatbuilding site ..... to be precise, I wouldn't know of ANYONE else living like that ....
The next owner of Magic Carpet is going to be very lucky. Nice job as usual
My thought exactly.
I was thinking exactly the same!
Ditto
Alidino is an amazing craftsman, his exacting woodworking, finishing detail is amazing to watch. Thanks for sharing! Cheers...
Agreed he is so meticulous
I know the Cape George is bigger and all the rest of it .... but this Vindö is simply breathtaking. Her lines are a pleasure to the eye and she will make someone a beautiful home.
Alidino is a badass! Incredible skills, joy to watch someone applying their skills to their passion. Great job guys!
I agree, it's good to see young people doing something other than flipping water bottles and getting all excited when they land standing up. Unbelievable what some people think is an achievement. His achievement with this boat is definitely something to jump up and yell for!
This channel is more an art channel than a carpentry one. Your art skills in music, carpentry, editing and and wording of the commentary are astounding. Well done.
Yes agree, creative.
I hope Magic Carpet will, when the time comes, find a new owner worthy of her. Owner(s) who appreciate the excellent condition she is in and ensure it is continued. I like that Aladino on the one hand executes meticulous work, and on the other maintains his humour. It's also great that whilst you complement each other, you are both highly competent independently.
I think "huge" is an inadequate word for how much work is happening in just this video (never mind overall). Incredible to watch and fantastic results. Thank you for sharing your journey.
It is a real joy to watch a craftsman producing the quality of work they are capable of. Who ever ends up with this boat is going be very lucky.
Yes, the attention to detail and the depth of craftsmanship is truly astounding!
This is my favourite Magic Carpet episode to date. Amazing production, sound tracks and we even caught a glimpse of the fibreglass tooth fairy! You are definately doing your beautiful boat justice and treating her with the love and respect she deserves. Really enjoy following your adventure and as always, eagerly anticipating next Fridays episode! Thank you
Gosh, seldom at scale do objects appear so darn perfect that they appear built as a model. Your hero Magic Carpet shot was that kind of lovely and made me imagine how nice she would look on my mantle!
I really like your videos. You do a very nice job on the video production. It's obvious. I very much like Aladino's positive attitude and how he explains what he's doing. For a grumpy, old guy stuck at home in the pandemic, that doesn't sail, watching you two has been a breath of fresh air. I wish I could support you guys (got wiped out saving my cat from FIP a couple of years ago) but I wanted you to know how much I enjoy your videos. Thank you!
Great teamwork during the entire series. Impressed with you both. Enjoyable to watch.
Love it, thanks. Reminds me so much of when I was a young teen helping build a wooden boat. I am now 83 and really enjoy.
Wonderful episode. Knocked this one out of the park.
Aladino is a fantastic craftsman - thoroughly skilled, attention to detail, perseverance and top finish. If this is what you get from a 3-year boatbuilder apprenticeship/education this is fantastic - though I very much suspect that he is in a class of his own in that regard. Well done, heartfelt respect and congratulations. Lovely filming and music as well.
Aladino is transforming MC1 from a sailboat to a work of art! You guys have a very inspiring story! Enjoy your time with family and friends. Maya your voice is so calming! And the long hours of editing is Fantastic!
Great music and great use of the music. It really expresses the joy Aladino takes in his craft.
You make a great team. The work you have put into your boat, has totally transformed it into a Beautiful Boat.
Hi from UK. NEW SUBSCRIBERS WE ARE. The work you do on your boat is truly amazing to restore her to a higher standard than she was. Ready for many years ahead of you in your sailing years together. You are a very talented man... and Lady.. All the best to your finish line and very well done, we love watching all the progress
You two are quite simply Artists and the art is a sailboat. Thank you for sharing
I really admire people who engage such goals.
Maya, I have been watching your adventure since your early days in Victoria.
Aladino, you are a master craftsman. I think that you are an amazing team.
That is one of the finest looking older boat I have seen. And you are not finished yet. That is craft manship.
What a project, so well executed, on every single step of the build. I'm deeply impressed. Carry on, let your love and passion be your guide.
We just want to say thank you to all of your boys for not cussing in the videos because our families do watch and we do care and we will be praying for you all
You both are true pro, one with boat and one with filming and storytelling. Great job! And great fun to follow you.
Aladino is the Enzo Ferrari of the sealing boats. Magic Carpet is the Ferrari in the sea: you are the best and we love you beacause all two make incredible skills with passion. The finishing detail is amazing. And Maya, you are a fantastic partner! Thanks for sharing! Great job
As always, extraordinary. The lyrical voice over, the amazing display of craftmanship what many of us wish we were.
Oh, and I forgot to tell you how much I love you violin music. Another thing you are wonderful at.
Alidino is a true craftsman and you are an incredible story teller. Great music selection as well!
I really liked this video. The music was outstanding. Alidino is a true Craftsman of his trade! This video seemed warm and personal and inviting. I can't wait for the next video. Great job guys! Stay safe and healthy! Cheers.
your music selection deserves an award
Alidino’s work ethic is epic. I can count at least 9 different major projects in this single episode. His knowledge, skill level, and his end product are rarely matched on the many sailboat channels I watch. I wish Alidino was given more time to narrate in detail why and how he was going to accomplish each step ( not always obvious). For example, with fiber glassing the deck maybe a discussion on how he decided he had sanded enough, how did he determine the silicone was gone, what was the silicone remover? What epoxy did he use. How did he keep bubbles out? How did he masterfully cut the fiberglass ? What was the putty? How does one properly use it?
Did he spend 500 hours on these projects? Twenty Five minutes with multiple time lapses is an injustice to Alidono’s sweat, tenacity, knowledge and skill.
Sorry but I can't agree with your statements. For one Alidino has worked hard to reach his level proficiency. Simply copy and pasting a list of materials doesn't do justice to the artisan nature of his endeavours. Were it that simple everyone could do it. So nope, that list is bonkers to ask for. The amount of time invested in learning the craft, what to use, how to apply, what tools, is his strength. Asking for a list.... nope, not done.
It is said anyone can learn a craft in 10.000 hours. However an artisan keeps learning. You can't replace the doing by reading a book or a list.
I hope your recovery, Maya, has been a thorough as the work on this beautiful yacht.
you two are awesome together and to take on a large project like yours can be hard at times but you two seem to ⛵ right through it,Keep up with your dreams.
Great episode. And I love your pronunciation of the Dutch place names, I'm very impressed! 😁 Happy to see you enjoy your time in our country, we're glad you're here!
Absolute joy to watch your videos. Thank You.
You can see the passion in Aladinos work…
If this TH-cam thing crashes you guy could fund your journey by detailing boats for people along the way…..😀😀😀
From above, she looks like some sort of retro sci-fi space craft. So cool!
That brightwork looks fantastic. Maya, you outdo yourself with your storytelling every time!
She’s looking awesome week by week!!! Keep up the great work both of you!
Your episodes get better every week. As I have said before, Aladino at work is a pleasure to watch, and you are a pleasure to listen to! Magic Carpet I is looking fabulous, better than ever.
Das wird ein wahres Schmuckstück,ich bin begeistert.
Just love guy guys, extraordinary persons both of you, I envy the skills of Dino and admire your musicality and vlogging skills. I.am always looking forward to your episodes, both for pleasure and learning.
Great varnish work... I really enjoyed watching this series.
Your introduction voice over was so engaging and welcoming. This episode all through was mesmerising. Aladino is an amazing restoration artist. The new owner will inherit a masterpiece. I hope you add your signature in a corner. And Maya you are equally the partner in this bringing forth your incredible talents. Your final product is always outstanding. For me your uploads are my Saturday mornings with a coffee curled up in my favourite corner. I hope to run across your 'art exhibition' somewhere in the future. A love story like no other ❤
there is no word to discribe how great it looks
Incredible talent and determination! What a beautiful yacht you have created!
What a nice work done . Aladino my respects for your craft work and patience to do all 100% or more . Love watching the story
Your channel has me so trained, that other day, when I walked through a hardware store, I literally screamed out in fear when I looked at the rows and rows of silicone on the shelves. lol
I stumbled across your channel and love it! After selling a 1964 43-foot woodie to a friend in Greece, I too got married, and moved with my husband to a town between two lakes in northern Italy. I´d not heard of the Vindo brand, but your story inspired me to check them out, and now I´m looking for one to put on Lake Garda as a weekend sailer! Thanks for the inspiration and happy travels.
It's fun to watch a restoration that you know is far superior to the brand new original build. Great skills of an artist.
Alidino has an amazing work ethic. He'd so competent at what he does.
Wow, that’s a whole lot of work, effort, and progress in one episode. The finished products look amazing and the front of the cover looks like a masterpiece of woodworking with all the grain popping out like that. “Stabilizing the surface” is probably the best explanation you could have used for that task and it explains what the fiberglass is doing to cover the 800+ holes in the top surface of the deck. Hope your feeling better Maya and that you can feel better soon. The work you both are doing is far beyond words I can use to say how great it looks. I can see how much you both enjoyed this boat and how you want version 2 to look as good, if not better, which would be a major undertaking given how good this one is shaping up.
Incredible craftsmanship!
“Wow”. I’m new to your channel, I must say I’m impressed with your attention to detail, with your boat and your dream. I will be taking a look at the rest of your story for sure. Congratulations on living your best lives possible.
Absolutely stunning, you guys. Been really enjoying following your adventures! If you’re ever in London - please let me know!
Like the music in this ep.
The fantastic work you two provide is amazing.
She looks more beautiful for each day sad you got to sell her.
But the one who’s the lucky owner will have a great adventure for years to come. Thanks 🙏
I always look forward to the end of the work week to come home and watch Magic Carpet while sipping a tasty beverage. I always learn something and usually take away some inspiration. Magic Carpet I sure is a pretty, little boat.
I just bought an old, Danish 33ft boat from '72 and I am so invigorated and inspired by your craftmanship and impeccable attention to detail. Your level of dedication I will never reach, but these videos really inspire and motivate me to do better and take pride in the process behind every - ever so small - success! Thank you ever so much for sharing!
She's beautiful and so are you Maya. You guys are amazing, Alidino you are a true artist! I can't wait to go sailing with you both again.
I always look forwards to early Friday evening here in Wales when I can watch your splendid offerings here on TH-cam. Thank you for a glimpse into your life. No razzmatazz just as it is.
Wow you guy's are doing an excellent job on your Vessel, wonderful to see how a professional works..simply beautiful. Two thumbs up 👍👍.Take care and be safe.😎
Two perfectionist minds in perfect symmetry
Alidino gets a lot of well deserved praise but I want to say that the editing and commentary, story telling, is as worthy of praise as anything else. I have loved your voice and poetry you write as dialogue from the very first video you made.Thank you. Well done. You have inspired me on my journey to the sea and hope to meet you both someday. My friends call me Sailor and my boat is Julia.
Wow, she looks good without the teak. Good choice taking it off. Stay safe, stay healthy. :-)
You guys are amazing may God Bless you and keep you both safe in Europe. Hurry back to North America and Magic Carpet ll
Unbelievable! Such an amazing finish on those surfaces. Makes me feel happy!
Silicone is really hard to remove, although it has to be said that it is a marvellous sealant. There propably are newer and better products on the market today but those are hard to come by, they are only sold in specialist shops. The craftmanship here is outstanding, this young man would get a job in every luxury yacht yard on this planet if he wanted to. Better to be free, though and make memories instead. Great video!
Skills are off the charts. Looks amazing.
Thank You for making us part of your lives. Magic carpet looks superb. Be very very proud of yourselves.
Excellent work and Excellent work behind the camera and the editing.
This video has really shown the size difference between MC and MC2. Little MC almost looks like a tender for MC2!
Alidino, you are my kind of CRAFTSMAN !!! " Near enough is not good enough, it has to be just right " !!! This vessel is such a jewel, better than new. If I may make a suggestion, I think you should give her a black "water line". Say, 2 inches (50mm) up from the bottom paint up a "white" stripe, followed with 2 inches of black gloss paint. That would really look outstanding, even more than she is right now. You two are an incredible team of two wonderful people, Wow !!!
It is time for Maya to play us one of her fantastic violin pieces, perhaps Itzack Perlman's
" Flatbush Waltz " ? Maya, you are a wonderful player and a GREAT partner to Alidino !!!
If, when you are in British Columbia again, come up to Powell River, just up-coast from Horse shoe Bay. We would welcome a visit and perhaps go for a sail on our boat, a Panda 40.
We enjoy your episodes very much ! Keep up the " GOOD WORK ", AS ALWAYS. Cheers !
Absolutely love to watch a work of art become even more beautiful. I do watch other sailing channels and I’m amazed at their lack of skill it’s so wonderful that you can do all the work at the highest level.
Exceptional and amazing worker as ever, I am just in awe! Much as I understand the arguments vis-à-vis a teak deck, I can't help myself, I love them and will miss it.
the attention to detail in both the boat work and the video production is superb, and i have to disagree with you you are not like other people, you are an extremely talented team, with tenacity way beyond the norm , its just a pleasure to witness this beautifully told story . Fairwinds young lady
You are evolving quite rapidly. Congratulations and a lots of love.
Beautiful finishes....hope you're feeling much better. Looking forward to the next video. Take Care! Claudie/Texas
Hi to you both,yet again it is a pleasure to see the fine quality of the work being done and the same of the behind scene’s editing that makes it possible,thank you.Roly 🇬🇧.
Wow, beautiful work. I can relate to this work because I am doing a lot of work on a 1984 Bertram 38 and really enjoy watching the excellent craftsmanship.
Enjoyed.
Looks amazing! Happy you're both feeling better.
You guys are seriously good at this. What an incredible team! Maya, your story telling is unparalleled on “the tube”. Aladino, your quality and attention to detail are equally on par.
Remarkable craftsmanship, absolutely stunning.
I only can say: EXCELLENT JOB!!!, Magic Carpet is now biginning a second youth with that so important aesthetic changes that are much more than it only. Thanks a lot for let us see it.
I am stunned! Magic Carpet is renewed. The wood is beautiful and the deck flawless. Also I appreciate the shot in passing of the galley. I was wondering what you use to cook on, and now I know! Thanks very much for your videos!
I am extremely favorably impressed not only with Aladino's work skills, but also how he takes the time to explain to us uninformed peasants, the reasons why he is doing what it is he is doing. I feel that if "Magic Carpet II" was to go out on the water now, she would make the other vessels jealous. You, Aladino are a true MASTER craftsman.
Guys, you are great masters, this is real magic)), and the miracle of rebirth. May the Lord help you.
These episodes are more than just well produced. They are woven and crafted and skillfully presented to tell us all a story of a meaningful part of your lives. This one leaves us (my wife and shipmate) in awe. From a half Canadian bagpiper who plays from his foredeck and a little sheepherder girl who found the sea, accept our thanks and admiration.
Great video!! Magic Carpet is looking stunning!! And she not even finished.incredible workmanship!!
Fair winds ⛵️⛵️
Huge congratulations for keeping a Vindo that can be used and treasured for years to come. So many traditional yachts have been left to sink and rot. I have I have owned a Folkboat for decades. Useless as a cruiser, very wet to sail, uncomfortable, damp but a thing of beauty. She brings a smile to my face every time we take to the water.
She looks amazing.
Pleased to hear there will be more European adventures!
What a wonderful video. You are so inspiring. Whenever you will come along the wonderful town of Sonderburg on the island of Als, on your planned tour through Northern Europe, we will more than pleased to invite you to for a glas of wine and a BBQ.
Nice craftsmanship and I am always happy to see you do it power on never stop your dreams but all ways thinking out side the box because you miss the future perfection of your dreams !!!! God bless!!!!Peace out !
Alidino is a joy to watch as he meticulously attends to all of the details needed to make Magic Carpet seaworthy and beautiful. Don't forget the grippy deck surface so you don't slide over the side in heavy sea!!! Fantastic job transforming your boat and in documenting every step of the journey!
I am also Canadian and although my mother was raised in Chemainus, I have never lived in BC. I live in Alberta. Canadian TH-camrs hold a special place in my heart and you both have become my favourite sailing couple. This episode is, I believe, my favourite so far. Your banter reminds me of the interaction I shared with my husband for 25 years before he passed away suddenly. Thank you both for bringing good memories to my mind through the sharing of your life together. Magic Carpet is such a beautiful boat and you both do such beautiful work. Once again thank you and may God richly bless you in all you do.
Two inspiring young people. Your journey is admirable. Make sure to reflect and enjoy it from time to time. All the best.
It’s sooooooo nice to witness the craftsmanship you are putting into both boats. Can’t wait to to see the finish products!👏👏👏⛵️⛵️⛵️
I have follow the two of you for a long time and I am being totally honest here when I tell you that I have never seen anyone I would trust to work on my boat (If I had one) than the two of you. This young man, and by this I am including the both of you, has to be one of the most patient and talented craftsman on the planet!! WOW!!!
