IT IS TIME! Guys, order your popcorn and refreshing liquids in large quantities preferably directly from the factory because we have now officially YEARS of Mads sanding videos in front of us! :-) Mads, congrats for this new project. I foresee that your experience will help you to achieve this refit much faster than Athena, even if it is a bigger vessel. Reminding Parlay Revival's saga : please inspect carefully the structural elements of this boat because the forces that come into play in catamarans are much stronger than in mono hulls.
We can do an unboxing of our bulk popcorn and soda order like Mads used to do. He could add those to a special edition of Mads fans unboxing our popcorn.
@@AvaSailLife it is. It's got to be. It's the only explanation. Bummer about you not being around, :\ i'm sure you'd bring a bit of order to that madness around Mads.
Love the 3m Versaflow, game changer, wouldn't want to work without one anymore. The only downside is the fresh air inlet is near your rear exhaust! YMMV!🤣
I've thought about suggesting it in the past... now you've got many many hours of fiberglass work ahead - in Florida heat no less - you should check out a Cool Suit / Cool Shirt / Cool Pants... They are popular in racing where drivers have to wear firesuits in the summer. The expense is trivial in the grand scheme of things and, feels like not turning a tyvek suit into a personal swiming pool would be worth the nuisance of dealing with dragging a couple water lines around. Obviously you could modify and customize the chiller/pump side to be more appropriate at a worksite instead of a racecar. Might even be really nice to wear when you aren't in tyvek.
glass fibre reinforced plastics as we know them so nicely, are extremely strong. But a very big disadvantage is that they do not tolerate point loads. therefore be careful when removing the aluminium profiles. they redistribute these point loads in the glass fibre. to think about.
1708 biax is very popular glass around here. It has the mat on the backside. 1700 is just the plain cloth with no chop stran mat. Fiberglass Florida in Rockledge is great place for your glass needs. 🤙
I have extensively used the local equivalent of Coosa board and it is excellent. If you consistently use it throughout the rebuild you will save substantial weight. If nothing else you save huge amounts of epoxy, paint and TIME sealing up plywood.
@@markthomasson5077 Coosa panels consist of high density polyurethane foam reinforced with layers of fibreglass. They are stronger than the equivalent thickness of marine ply, and about 2/3rd the weight. The big upsides are zero water absorption and less work. The purchase price is about 30% higher but this is more than offset by the need for less epoxy sealers, paint and labour. I usually just put on two coats of single pack polyurethane for cosmetic reasons - fast and easy. It cuts and works like timber, but it is a little more abrasive and the dust has a glass content that is a bit itchy. And while it will take a thread OK - for high loads or repeated removals some form of threaded insert is advisable.
Fab news about the registration, oh glorious sanding is def back and my Sunday afternoon entertainment is sorted out too. Looking forward to months of super interesting videos!
It seems the hard part has been done so the legal ownership now rests fully with Brian so he can sell it to Sail Life with a clear provenance. The next step is pretty run-of-the-mill simple by comparison. I was worried that they wouldn't get this far for a year or more.
Well done Mads. Love your work flow and presenting...getting it done without too much talking. So happy that you have resolved the paperwork. I am looking forward to the engines singing a tune. A shout out to Eva.
You probably have 1708, which is also known as "combo mat" in other places. It does indeed come in sizes like 800/400g. I brought some down to central america with me, and some local fiberglassers cannot get enough of it. While you don't need to use with epoxy, it makes it REALLY EASY to lay 3-4 layers at a time without bubbles. 1708 is 45/45 biaxal with matt. (17oz biax 8oz mat) 1808 is 0/90 biaxial with matt If you're looking to build something really strong (with any resin, doesnt matter) and get some thickness built up fast, this is a GREAT way to do it. And a complete novice can lay it without bubbles. Very user friendly.
🤞🏽Hoping for a cooler Florida winter for you and all that fiberglass work you have to look forward to. And I’m in 100% agreements with Ava on a tidy workspace. My husband can work amongst chaos and it drives me insane when we do projects together. The last straw for me was a broken toe years ago after a pretty bad stub on a toolbox in our walk space. Cleanliness next to safety-ness.
As a Swede, I have a hard time relating to the troubles with the boat registration. Here you just pay the boat and get a receipt. The government has no part of it at all. No registry or anything like that. I guess it’s the same in Denmark.
Mads, you were born to do this! So glad Adsense worked out, so glad USCG issues are working out, so glad my Sundays contain “Oh glorious sanding” again! Thank you both Mads and Ava!
Hey Mads. You might like to check out using basalt fiber instead of fiber glass. It is more expensive, but stronger, around comparable to s-glass, so you need less. But the big thing is that it is non-toxic. Maybe less itchy too? Of course, you still have the hassles of the epoxy, but it is way less hazardous in itself than fiber glass. It is also UV resistant.
I never thought I would miss the DIY STUFF until you tackled this huge project..... But I love it! Of course I miss Ava, but "distance makes the heart grow fonder" Keep up the good vids!!!
Super, glad you are getting the docks sorted out. Have fun with the sticky, itchy, gooey stuff. If you can find a used CPAP (sleep apeia) blower and some hose you could ventilate your Tyvek suit.
Speaking of glass cloth. I know you use epoxy resin for your builds which is the best solution for repair work. Be aware that some of that cloth might have a wax component for use with polyester resin. I know your going to do an amazing job.
I do think maybe your underestimated how much strength the foam encased in fiberglass was adding to that part when wave starts smashing into the bottom side of that I think the foam backing the fiberglass probably was a big help. I think your little anglemight. I would fill it with foam again. Its just like a deck you need the foam between the layers id glass.
I highly recommend buying some cheap battery operated scissors for all the fiberglass you are going to be cutting on your marathon makeover. They work fantastic for that and make that task like a hot knife through butter.
Mads I'm so happy for you and Ava; everything seems to be working out positively for you. And I get to see your awesome skills and dry sense of humor in what looks to be a great re-build project. Take care cheers
One day at a time. You are working in "combat field conditions." Once yours, you can spend a week cleaning the project up and greatly increase your productivity. I too am O- and the mosquitos love me too! I made up a spray using essential oils that are totally safe, but drive the bugs away just north of you in Georgia. Per spray bottle: 1/2 cup water, 1/2 cup witch hazel, 1 tsp glycerin, 1tsp alcohol (gin, rubbing, whatever), 30 drops citronella, 30 drops geranium, 10 drops lemon, 10 drops eucalyptus, 10 drops rosemary, and 10 drops lavender. Lasts for hours. Amazing stuff and you smell GREAT! Godspeed on your project sir!
Being an avid viewer since you installed your first heating stove, 2 boats ago, I am thoroughly looking forward to your new adventure. I have been watching Bryan, Rossco, Colin, Gus amongst others, but the cat modified and upgraded by Teal on Onboard Lifestyle is absolutely top class in terms of systems layout and clever forward thinking design. Whilst waiting for your final paperwork, a review of his installation videos, may inspire some choices which could make a great move for future upgrades to this exciting adventure. Loving it Mads. Good luck 😊
Om man, felt like the video was over before I started it! Crusing is nice to look at, but so many do that. Not that many who make good quality DIY videos. Really looking forward to see you transfer this to a gem. Years for interesting content.
Just want to tell you I think you are fantastic! You are enjoyable to watch and are so talented. Looking forward to see you transform this vessel. Such a handsome, talented man. ⚓️⚓️
This summer, I rebuilt the runners of the companionway hatch on my 79 Chrysler C-22 trailer sailor. Between you and Andy at Boatworks Today, I do my own fiberglass work.
a bit of advice from a fellow afficianado living in the tropics (honolulu): a much less sweaty way to keep glass dust off of you is to (i swear this is true) cover your exposed skin in baby powder. here in hawaii we work in shorts and tanktops so its either a quasi-kabuki look or itching for several days. as far as mosquitos go... if indoors just eat bananas. its not mystical and kung fooey; the potassium in the bananas helps mask the methane in your breath that draw the little bloodsuckers to cluster around your head. doesnt work outdoors, naturally.
Gday Mads - a couple of things from my multi builds. 1 - try and keep the weight out of the ends - both ends. You will put stuff in the ends but don't think like a mono sailor anymore - think light. My 38ft cat has lovely motion offshore because it was built with the mindset of keeping weight centralised. Increasing rotational inertia is not a good thing in multis so wherever possible get weighty objects towards the centre. 2 - if you are going to go composite - start going the whole way and think cpmposite rather than stainless. With your tramp attachments, consider gluing on PVC pipe onto the tramp ramp and the hulls and then glassing over with 2 layers of 44gm db. Then cut into the pipe every 150mm with a notch. Slide through some alloy of glass rod and tie the tramp onto the rod through the notch. I even use this method for my genoa sheeting - as I don't move the genoa cars once set in the right place. Look at some composite cats and modern monos for composite tricks and how to do attachments. Bolting is heavy, expensive, produces point loads and causes leaks, whereas composite (when done well) is so much better. With the tramp ramp, I would run the PVC tube/glass along the edges where the tramp ran. I lash my tramps on, so don't need the boltrope. I love my cod end fishing net tramps - black nylon and 24 years old - 4 years liveaboard with kids. I will replace them soon but they last and are quite cheap from a fishery supply store.
A tip for anyone contemplating similar amounts of f/g work. Get a small portable vacuum cleaner. Use flexible hose to pipe into a full face cover dive mask. If you want to help keep cool you can also pipe into your Tyvek suit. The positive air pressure will not only help to keep you cool, it will also help keep the f/g dust out of the inside of the suit. May all your troubles melt like lemon drops.
My 2003 Antares has dual anchor rode tubes for double anchors. While you are repairing the tramp ramp you could easily modify yours for it. Surprised it is only a single anchor setup.
U tube Chanel SV lynx made his own personal battery powered dust masks out of existing things and shows how to make them. Volume 22 worth a look as I would imagine they are very cheep.
Mads with the pro tips and experiments! We're here for all of it! Until you're sailing!
Ahhhhh. Mads doing 'oh glorious sanding.' Sunday is back to normal.
All is right with the world now ☺
🤣🤣
Sundays = sand-days!
And wasting yet more years of his .ife while ripping up 100 dollar notes from a very large pile. 🤔
This is what I love about Mads. When he fixes something he goes to the next level.
I love that about him too 😊
For real. Anyone skeptical about his ability to fix this catamaran doesn’t know him very well. That thing will be better than new!
He's lazy. He doesn't want to fix anything more than once. ;-)
Similar to myself. ;-)
Side note... Danish Mads has greater language skills and rhetoric in English than half of Americans...
That what happens when your country invests heavily in education.
@@realulli Work smart, not hard ;-)
Total Boat should sponsor your build. They sponsor so many channels.... Love the project!!!!
We are fortunate enough that the rockstars over at Total Boat are our sponsors 💪
It’s Funny
Every time Bryan got within 10 feet of this boat - I became overwhelmed with anxiety. But you relax me every time. Thank you.
Realxing and sanding is next level zen master 😜
Man-glitter n chill.
IT IS TIME! Guys, order your popcorn and refreshing liquids in large quantities preferably directly from the factory because we have now officially YEARS of Mads sanding videos in front of us! :-)
Mads, congrats for this new project. I foresee that your experience will help you to achieve this refit much faster than Athena, even if it is a bigger vessel.
Reminding Parlay Revival's saga : please inspect carefully the structural elements of this boat because the forces that come into play in catamarans are much stronger than in mono hulls.
Buckets and buckets of popcorn ;)
We can do an unboxing of our bulk popcorn and soda order like Mads used to do. He could add those to a special edition of Mads fans unboxing our popcorn.
I’ve followed you for years and years, keep advancing, adventuring and most importantly know your value!
Mads back in his element . Always cool to learn the different hand power tools used and the processes shown by Mads
In his happy place 😊
I think you are handling the chaos of the boatyard, the boat, the boat's debris and the registration delays really well.
Thank you so much :) I think sanding is his coping mechanism 😝
He's doing much better than I would be but I'm guessing he's just itching to get that "hog hole" of a place cleaned up to his usual standards..
@@AvaSailLife it is. It's got to be. It's the only explanation. Bummer about you not being around, :\ i'm sure you'd bring a bit of order to that madness around Mads.

You beat me to it! Rossco of Life on the Hulls nearly suffocated himself when he " let fluffy off the leash" 😂
Haha :) Exfoliating 😝
Huzzah, I now remember what day of the week it is!
Woo Hoo!! 👏
Madds Day 😂
It certainly is good to see you back to copious amounts of DIY !!! 💥
Mads is very excited to be back in DIY mode 💪
I followed Bryan’s channel from the beginning and have been waiting for years for this boat to get rebuilt. I can’t wait to see the progress!
I’m loving that custom mast, bet it lets you catch every breeze, even the ones hiding in the corners!
I have it on good authority that the "Post-it note" industry has pumped up production in anticipation of your "to do" board.
Haha! Everyone should invest in their stock in preparation. 😜
@@AvaSailLife - lol - that would be 3M, the manufacturer of the Versaflow. Already a shareholder. 👍🏻😜
Mads back in his true element, so hope the purchase goes though OK.
Thank you! Crossing our fingers 🤞

Bees wax is a great thing to use as a pre treatment to enable release when forming a mold for shaped fibre glass/metal things.
I love these so much, this is Mads well and truly back in his happy place!!

And so it begins! I bet Mads sleeps with a smile on his face and glorious fiberglass dust clouds filling the sky?
There has been a little glimmer in his eye since starting this refit :)
I'm so excited about this build.... The contract had better go thru!
Fingers crossed!

A "one person sweat lodge" is a perfect example of wearing that ozempic in a suit. I laughed more than I probably should have! 🤣🤣
Hehe 😝
I love watching you clean up. So many times watching Bryan I wanted to pay him a visit just to clean up for him. Thank you.
Who needs the NFL when you have Mads sanding on Sundays.
Fantastic turned of events while catching up with you guys!!!
It's wonderful to see glorious man glitter everywhere
I know Mads is happy to be back amidst the glitter 😊 thanks for watching!
I know nothing about boats, but enjoying your journey. Thank you.
It's great that you get to work under the boat which serves also as a shelter from the elements!

Glad to see you have got past the red tape well done good luck with final sale see you next time 😊😊
We used flat melamine sheets to make "angle" molds when i worked for a boat manufacturer. Melamine is great for quick flat molds

Hey Mads. You might like to check out using basalt fiber instead of fiber glass. It is more expensive, but stronger, around comparable to s-glass, so you need less.
But the big thing is that it is non-toxic.
Maybe less itchy too?
Of course, you still have the hassles of the epoxy, but it is way less hazardous in itself than fiber glass.
It is also UV resistant.

Manm Tyvek suit in Florida this time of year! I live on the other side of Florida and it gets so hot and humid, more power to you!
Really like your fiberglass videos this is going to be interesting rebuild.
Super, glad you are getting the docks sorted out. Have fun with the sticky, itchy, gooey stuff. If you can find a used CPAP (sleep apeia) blower and some hose you could ventilate your Tyvek suit.

Haha I love your "entrance" at the beginning of the video. I also very much love that 3M mask! And the cheap way to get one, Wow.

I do think maybe your underestimated how much strength the foam encased in fiberglass was adding to that part when wave starts smashing into the bottom side of that I think the foam backing the fiberglass probably was a big help. I think your little anglemight. I would fill it with foam again. Its just like a deck you need the foam between the layers id glass.
According to one of the designers of the boat, that is not the case :)
I highly recommend buying some cheap battery operated scissors for all the fiberglass you are going to be cutting on your marathon makeover.

Hi. Replace the white nets either side of the tramp ramp with black ones…they become invisible and see-through.
