This fitout will become part of who Maya is. For all its trials, she will look at the craft when at sea, and be proud of the hard work that she put in. Building a home is always hard, whatever path you choose.

@pediajo1 Год назад

Maya, it's the journey. There will come a time when you and Aladino will reminisce not necessarily about the beautiful, completed project, but more about the hours, days, weeks and months you've spent working together and sharing the most valuable of all unrecoverable valuables, time.

@wendycunningham935 Год назад

This is how we build character. If everything was easy and delightful , we can’t grow. You are growing Maya.

@doncastor4807 Год назад

The trade crafts are art. Believe there are a lot of people who wouldn't be able to do what you and aladyno have done. You're an artist and it shows in the quality of your work. It's all going to be worth the tears when done. Good job lady❤

@lowellmccormick6991 Год назад

Yep, you are spot on. That's why it's called the industrial arts and those involved are called artisans.

@SMAAirAssault Год назад

I can atleast speak for myself when i say, i could never get this level of perfection without putting in 3-4 times the work. You are efficient and creative, love the whole build, and the attention to detail is amazing!!😊

@duncan.5228 Год назад

I can "feel" how hard this has been for you both. Aladino has worked so hard. He hid the pain well. Kudos to you both.

@darrenstephen4148 Год назад

Maya I’ve said it before but just a reminder that your doing an amazing job . You have pushed out of your comfort zone when many would give up . Be proud of yourself because all your viewers are . 😀

@stelliform Год назад

I had to give a like after Aladino’s joke about aging the sailboat by the rings. Lol.

@nanoceramics2747 Год назад

you have created the highest quality sailing vessel one could ask for and turned into a floating piece of art.

@daviddelrosario828 Год назад

Your attention to detail and proper construction is amazing. Your Cape George will be stronger, better and more beautiful than when it was brand new! Love watching your refit journey

@phillipobrien7365 Год назад

Growth rings on fiberglass to tell how old your boat is ! When you two have kids they will be subjected to a lifetime of "dad jokes" from Aladino.

@simonwilson1211 Год назад

She's looking fab! Just remember the mantra each night. "We're one day closer" Not long now X

@d14551 Год назад

You are both doing an incredible amount of demanding, painstaking work. I've gone straight past being impressed to being awestruck.

@PaulBergstrom Год назад

Just remember you are building your new home and it is beautiful.

@clairetaylor6754 Год назад

No pain no gain lol 😂❤I’m just gobsmacked at the beauty of the craftsmanship your teamwork has created. Magic Carpet is absolutely amazing already. I look forward to watching the rest of your adventures ❤

@petes9524 Год назад

The two of you are the magic in this carpet ride.

@stever2583 Год назад

It is not a failure to acknowledge that you are not built for certain things. People with the patience of Aladino are confined to the very special. They occupy all walks of life and interest, they are neither better nor lesser than anyone else. They just have the special gift that keeps them in control when many run for the hills. We like you as you are, we certainly have no expectations other than your best effort for yourself. That which you do so graciously every week. I think all of your viewers get a sense of who you are as people - we see and we are always with you! Thank You for sharing your life at present!

@nicholasbigney4143 Год назад

My compliments and admiration. On that day when you both sit up on the bow at sunset sipping a glass of wine, we will all be celebrating with you. For now we send our long distance encouragement and admiration for a truly well executed, Sisyphus-like, task. Seeing your faces on our computer screen on Fridays is always a treat.

@New.Adventures.Sailing Год назад

You two are amazing. Great music choice as you were pinning Aladino into those aft lockers. I've been there before with the finish misbehaving, it's so disheartening. But those shots @29:00 on where the payoff! WOW! I wish I could hit the like button 20 times to register more likes.

@MaggieR28 Год назад

Maya, I love the music you choose and place in these videos (I assume it’s you who does that 😉). Every week is a delight, not just to watch your boat coming together, but to enjoy a little mini concert! Hang in there, this new floating home of yours is going to be absolutely stunning when it’s done. ❤️

@joncozzi1701 Год назад

The music was perfect when Aladino was stuffed into the cockpit locker! Nice touch!

@dylanwebb9584 Год назад

You're happy to have not given up? We're happy you have not given up!

@matthewpocock4824 Год назад

The quality of finish on the fibreglassed surfaces is a testament to your skills. Superb 👌 Mayas work with the self-levelling epoxy is especially impressive - what a finish!

@cjamachado Год назад

It would be worthwhile to be at the sea inside this beautiful boat full of stories about the reconstruction you had made with your own hands. Imagine this day coming soon!

@krockpotbroccoli65 Год назад

The chart table looks a hell of a lot better than the kitchen table my grandfather epoxy covered back in the 70s...

@davidbamford4721 Год назад

Magic Carpet II will be a real show-stopper when you set sail!

@PatrickPoet Год назад

When you grinned and laughed (lovingly of course) when you said, "he asked for it," I laughed and filled with joy because that's *_so_* you two. Like probably _all_ of your followers I love y'all. I hurt when you hurt and I feel triumphant when you excel.

@lmwaters9617 Год назад

Girl, music choices are fabulous. Really a great selection. The diversity in your musical tastes are wonderful. Thank you! Plus, I can't wait to see your smiles when this beauty is put into the water for your first sail. Weeeeeee!!!!

@keyem4504 Год назад

I really love to see how you always encourage and watch over each oder.❤

@DaveBrandt96 Год назад

Sweetheart, you and Aladino are on the downwind leg of finishing a piece of living art and understanding that there have been many twists and turns through this process, you should both be exceedingly proud of what you have created to date and what you will, reasonably soon, have the thrill of sailing off into the sunset on. Your 152, 000 Subscribers, whether they be Patriones or not love you both and look forward to each and every episode. Your future awaits you, my dear.

@stevedunford7632 Год назад

I feel the pain of your ‘Fish eye’ varnish. I built a burr walnut veneered car dashboard. I then varnished it with 12 coats of a UK product called Ronseal Hardglaze. After sanding between various coats the job was going well. During a visit to a hardware store I spotted Ronseal Hardglaze in an aerosol which, to my mind, seemed the perfect way to avoid brush marks in the final coat. The next morning it looked like a lava flow the whole surface had bubbled up and all the varnish was detached. The problem was that there was a different solvent in the spray version of the varnish. I was very well compensated by Ronseal who accepted that there was no warning on either product.

@underwaegsmit Год назад

Meinen Respekt habt ihr, vor allem Du, Maya. Bei einem solch grossen Refit mit zu wirken, obwohl es so gar nicht dein Ding ist... und dies auch noch über so lange Zeit. Bemerkenswert! Ich kann mir schon gut vorstellen wie gross eure Freude sein wird, wenn das Boot endlich zu Wasser gelassen wird, und wie gross die Erleichterung vor allem bei dir sein wird. Ich jedenfalls freue mich sogar als Zuschauer schon sehr darauf.

@anthonyrstrawbridge Год назад

Ja! Das Boot wird schön sein wie ein Mannlicher Rifle oder fein Geige

@robertnixon3816 Год назад

Maya, that interior is beginning to pop! Amazing finish work! You are becomming the epoxy/varnish guru! That deck work is really moving along too. Great job all!

@tomcraddock244 Год назад

When it’s finished and your off shore somewhere in a squall you’ll know just how important the work you both did is why you know your safe.it’s worth it because it’s your home.where you’ll be sitting in the cockpit playing your beautiful music. It really is looking great Fair winds

The Boat looks better and better.

@steveng.6845 Год назад

This is not a boat, it’s a work of art…. And a boat too…. Amazing.

@SamuelKTennis Год назад

Loved the "count the rings" joke Aladino.

@sailingsmukkepige Год назад

Our beautiful Najad from 1994 will soon need some internal refinishing. Your videos are truly inspirational! Thank you so much!

@sailingnstuff Год назад

Let it be known that it's looking incredible. I'd say it's probably way better than the original. All the very hard work is paying off!

@lavejim11 Год назад

She is really starting to look beautiful. I can't wait to see her in the water..

@bake162 Год назад

We seldom go into these projects knowing the full scope until you have cut it open, then the ugly truth shows itself. You were just blindsided (been in this position many time myself) so you have done what needs to be done and soon it will be mostly forgotten with smooth sailing and fair winds, nice work folks!

@jwwebnaut7045 Год назад

Maya, your locking down your contortionist husband beneath the rear deck (the poop?) strongly reminded me of E.A. Poe. Therefore, after finishing the rear deck, the only thing to do ist to open a cask of Amontillado and get really pooped 😂 Great work btw. Just keep going strongly!

@evewilkinson9653 Год назад

Absolutely brilliant and beautiful ❤Your work is amazing. Love watching you both. Looking forward to seeing the end result. ❤❤❤

@alainbelloc1583 Год назад

Antonio Stradivari is proud of you. Bravo

@thomasdavison8996 Год назад

I have heard people say exactly what did Maya and then 2 or 3 years later they want to do another restore. LOL At the time it all seems like daunting work, but once you have some time to reflect and enjoy you will appreciate all the great work and memories. Excellent job you two!

@billstoner5559 Год назад

Things are really starting to come together and it is looking GREAT!! On a side note, you both have wonderful personalities. Really a treat listening to your narration, seeing the progress each week, and watching you solve problems. 😊😊

@TIICProductions Год назад

Wow. Wow. Wow. The videography and editing in this one was nothing short of amazing. Great video!

@gaiachristopher Год назад

Looking good you two. As an incurable lifelong boatbuilder (50 yrs since the first one) I am really looking forward to the day when you start the much easier process of building one from scratch!!

@waynerudiger1756 Год назад

What a great episode. Lots of progress, beautiful finish work, humor, drama. So glad that the chart table pour worked out so well. It will be really interesting to hear your perspective about the refit a decade from now, after you've been enjoying the fruits of your labor for a while and the feeling of struggle is just a memory.

@paulfitzgerald1466 Год назад

If you get out gassing in epoxy, which is related to temperature changes, the best trick is to heat up the substrate first with a hot air gun, so it cools down as the epoxy sets. Another trick in clear finishing epoxy is to go over the finished surface with a hot air gun so it flows easily and bubbles come out as it flows.

@ingtam Год назад

I have so much to say, but don't have the words to say it succinctly. I'm afraid this little heart emoji will have to suffice ❤ You are both beautiful human beings.

@nickviner1225 Год назад

This just gets more and more immaculate. What a team!

That was Priceless him fitting in there to take a measurement. LOL.

You young man do Truly Beautiful work! What's more is the kind & humble manner in which you perform the boatwork tasks. Keep up the Good work shipwright/skipper. 🙏🦉⛵

@margaretforrest3365 Год назад

Hallelujah! Way to go hanging in till the pay back, Maya. Your wood finishes are spectacular! You and Aladino are a dynamic duo 💙💚. Thanks for sharing the journey, true grit and all-it’s simply inspiring.

@___Stephen___ Год назад

You have no idea how beautiful this boat is going to be. I have binge watched to get to this point and look for each weekly update.

@philgray1023 Год назад

I am staggered at the quality of finish you are doing there Maya. You should be justifiably proud of your work. When Aladino was in the locker did you wonder where the nearest nail gun was? Your sentiments on being involved in a boat build is about the same I hear from folks where they are getting a new house built.

@camielkotte Год назад

You ve set yourselves some standards. Love the achievement you make and the story you tell. Only satisfying to watch. Thank you for sharing.

@michaelvanwinkle7919 Год назад

Maya, Your wood finishing work on the interior looks fantastic! Hang in there!

@jerrielindsey5939 11 месяцев назад

It’s going to be lovely. I totally understand how the aesthetic work is more appealing. You all make a wonderful team.

@theconfessionsof_a Год назад

I'm solo pleased for you both that you've pressed on through and can see and start to delight in the progress and beauty of this refit. Thanks for your honesty when it's tough.

@lumenvalo2775 Год назад

It's been a true privilege to follow you guys (already years) developing your craftamanship and devotion. Your sailing adventures in the Mediterranean, the trip from there through the channels of Europe to NL and Sweden and of course you two growing together. You have really become such a source of inspiration and courage and your channel has already a huge documentary value for all of us hooked into navigare-life and old-boat maintenance. Thank you! May force be with you & greetings from rainy Helsinki♥️ Br, Juha Suomalainen

@robertlindstrom540 Год назад

That level of refit is almost as much work as a total newbuild so not surprised you are exhausted. That time restriction has made you push, really and that is of course a big stress factor. The upside is that the work gets done faster, when doing it as a hobby while living a normal life a project this big would stretch out for years with a big risc of never getting to the finish. You will be so happy when you get to the point of enjoying the fruits of all that hard work that it will all feel worth it in the end. And you know your boat now, at a level few sailors ever experience and that will all be to the good when you start your voyage. Thank you for sharing this with us!

@kaniala5 Год назад

It is fun to watch the progress the two of you are making. Maya you are getting a new skill doing finish work. Keep at it!

@kenmckinley4195 Год назад

Y’all’s music is the best in these videos!

@Stupha_Kinpendous Год назад

I'm really loving your entirely DIY custom blue water sailboat refit and restoration. And I only wrote it all out like that so that you'll both see what you're doing the way I do, and I think most of your fans see it the same way. Your series has always been fun to watch, but this content only makes it more so. So thank you! And I'm buying you both drinks. (In my head, sadly not IRL.} But your content rules. I love you cats.

@paulbadger6336 Год назад

Well done 👍. I understand your struggles to achieve perfection. You both are an inspiration and example of reaching deep within yourself to achieve the level of satisfaction that only you will truly know the effort it took to reach what is your perfection. Thank you for sharing.

@paulinehart1479 Год назад

At least when it is finished you will have the lifestyle that most people would give their right arms for! I have worked for 38 years and one day might be in a position to buy a boat and go sailing.

@akkasams2059 Год назад

My Friday evening treat! Thanks a lot - and she really starts to look like a boat taking shape. Thanks for the music, too!

@deemacvee1 Год назад

Such lovely finishes. A labour of love (and sometimes a little hate) 😊

@sandymacfarlane Год назад

Maya & Aladino! I just had to drop a comment to express how much I've been enjoying your videos. Your craftsmanship is truly remarkable, and I can't help but be excited for your next boat project (Gunboat, maybe? 😉). It's clear you both put a lot of heart into your work, and it definitely shows. Maya storytelling and narration are incredibly soothing, making each video a delightful experience. And let's not forget your music choices - they've always been spot on! I can imagine you're both juggling quite a few things, but please know that your hard work doesn't go unnoticed. The future holds amazing things for you, and looking back, you'll be in awe of what you've accomplished with your fantastic boat and channel. 🚤💫 Congratulations to both of you for the incredible journey you've embarked on and shared - it's truly something special! Keep those amazing videos coming. 👏😊

@janeth4982 Год назад

Wow! I lost touch on your project during my crazy busy (but wonderful) sabbatical in France this year…so I can see the AMAZING progress all of a sudden. I know it’s seemed so hard but I have so so much respect for what you both have accomplished. And, Maya, you are the best sailor/philosopher on the planet. Always so thoughtful & interesting with your self reflection & life outlook. ❤

@FunsongsMusicByPeterRahill Год назад

400th subscriber view about to happen... LIKE. 1:54 = Aladino demonstrates just how Jack gets stuffed In to The Box. Next - the music & winder key to crescendo into him popping out?

@MikeV607 Год назад

KUDOs on the amazing work you're doing for your floating home! I built my two story home in 1979 so I well remember the long hours, exhaustion, trials, tribulations....and satisfaction in finally stepping back to see the results of the hard work. I'm continuing to follow your progress and anxiously awaiting when she sees water again. Best wishes and keep on keeping on! 🙂

@TillerQueen Год назад

I thought Aladino might go into the port locker, then you lower the deck, raise it again, and magically he comes out of the starboard locker! 😊

@silvanocometta9760 Год назад

Hi Maya. One of the first rules of boat refit I learned from pros, some 25 years ago, is to never ever use silicone products on my boat. I never did and projects worked out fine using Sikaflex and Pantera. Silicone tubes were actually banned from all my boats! Keep going strong. Regards from Switzerland, Silvano

@blueeuan Год назад

The work you've done is truly amazing, I think you both are true crafts people, I cant wait to see you set sail

@jimff5 Год назад

MC2 is turning out to be the most beutiful boat , never a corner cut, everything done to perfection, both of you will be proud in the future and I will be proud to haveing the privilidge to enjoy being a very small follower of your epic journey and I am looking forward to seeing the completion of this amazing programme, but what will I do when it is finished? Love to both of you! ❣

@peterb4620 Год назад

What an amazing job you are doing. Well done Maya on your perseverance with something that does not easily sit with your amazing creative and musical personality. You are a great team.👏🏻🌞

@jeffmorton9220 Год назад

Maya's contribution to the refit project really shines. She may not like this kind of work, but when she puts her mind to it, her affinity for the details really shines. Reminds me of my middle school English classes, which I hated with a passion. It came easy to me, and I got terrific grades, but it was tedious to do the work. Maya's finish cabinetry work was no less obnoxious for her, but her flair for it produced superlative results. Maya, sweetie, I know where you're coming from. When the refit is over, you'll see the work your two person team did and feel incredible pride in your boat. Of course, you'll never do anything like this ever again. But once is enough for a lifetime of fond memories!

@c.douglaslyon9949 Год назад

Maya I want to acknowledge you for staying with it. I understand where you are coming from, we all have different strengths and you have proven you have many. No only did you stick with in but you learned so many new skills. I was thinking that in my mind from what I know of you from watching from the start your very strongest attribute is your incredible music, not at all like refitting a boat. Great job this week both of you.

@lenaistalar8032 Год назад

That teak is starting to look so so good with the clear varnish coats. As do the counter tops and the cockpit area. But I just looove the color of those teak trims

@paulbrown2971 Год назад

Real and visible progress being made now. The varnished wood looks stunning. Complimenti!

@dlswede3912 Год назад

Great video. You can start to see what a beauty she’s going to be when you two finish her.

@kindsailing Год назад

The Epifanes rubbed effect is the only thing I would finish with inside the boat. It is gorgeous! Good job. I have master woodworker friends who do fine woodworking for homes and that's what they use as well. The whole boat is looking amazing!

@duanemiller5606 Год назад

I think I prefer stone cold, countertop epoxy. You mix it, you pour it, you torch it, you let it sit. If you want to get your edges, you wait a certain amount of time after you pour takeoff your tape barrier and let it flow over the sides, of course you mask everything and you get to scrape under so you won’t have as much to grind off when it’s totally cured. Just one man’s opinion, I know there’s so many other options out there, So good for you that you did you.

@bert8878 Год назад

Stunning transformation of an old boat. You should both be very proud. One day soon you will sit back with a smile on your face and think “now what was all that about?”.

@pparker5113 Год назад

Amazing work you two, the humor and honesty are so appreciated. It is really coming along!!!

@erictakakjian6021 Год назад
