Aladino clearly is in his element with projects, just look how exited he is! When you are off on your trip around the World you will have to tow a barge behind so that he can continue with new projects.😁😁😁

There's no shortage of shit to fix while cruising... especially with an older boat. We've kept ahead of our projects enough that we can actually go sail a little bit, but a constant amount of oil changes, rebedding, corrosion, etc...

@clivewilliams3661 6 месяцев назад

@@sailinggizmo This St George cutter is having a full refurbishment so that to all intents and purposes its a new boat. The same applied to Magic Carpet 1, also refurbished by Aladino, and we didn't see many on going maintenance issues with that. Magic Carpet II is due a new engine and systems so hopefully it will be reliable and need only regular planned servicing.

Hi guys! I have been following you from the beginning. Maya your violin playing is a wonderful addition and I immensely enjoy listening. I was a boat builder when in my 20's and have recently (decades later) just finished a 12 year build of a small custom blue water sailboat. I will be installing electrical this winter as well. Good choice on the ply and frame cover - I used a tent and had to replace the top twice due to UV damage. I am just north of Seattle and one stormy day, 50 knot winds shredded the fabric. On this recent boat, I have placed 1/4" fiberglass pads under as many deck fittings as possible. This greatly reduces leaks and I highly recommend this approach. I used Kiwi Grip for anti skid and am very pleased with the result. I have a light boat and so weight is a large factor in deciding which materials to use. I appreciate your attention to detail and your meticulous approach. Definitely a kindred spirit. My wife says I am a scientist obsessively building a cathedral cum boat.

It’s terrific having you in Canada again🇨🇦. The recap was great. The wooden frame is a great idea.

When he was finished he got half his money back

My boat has a similar black layer just on top of the gelcoat (underwater only). It's very hard, and extremely difficult to remove. I was said it most likely some form of tar. After some reading, I found there is something called coal tar, and/or coat tar epoxy. It's used as a barrier coat.

Happy belated Christmas wishes! And, 🕺🎉Happy Eve of New Years Eve!🎉💃🏼 And a huge congratulation on choosing soda blasting, seriously, soda lasting is da bomb! So incredibly fast, while at the same time, very gentle on your base material. For those that don’t know, It’s used a lot in the antique automobile restoration community. It’s also the only medium that’s allowed for serious cleaning of built up whatever in many food flash freezing tunnels due to its non toxicity, and the ease of cleaning up the stuff used to clean up. Who knew Bicarbonate of Soda could be so magical! Speaking of magical, congratulations of the swift sale of Magic Carpet. As a long time (just coastal, but also an aircraft carrier) boater, I can completely understand the bitter sweet fair well to a craft that transported you to magnificent sights, and physical sensations.
