Ripping it out to repair the damage will probably end up being a time saver in the end. You both do such good work.
"Fresh Exuberance" a good name for a vessel refitted etc.to face the wind and wave to new adventures ahead
a brilliant example of where the outcome is more than the sum of the parts - well done you two
Great work. When your finished with the refit, Magic Carpet will be a new boat; and you will know every inch of her.. The end result will be very satisfying.
Keep doing what you're doing! As a long retired, and not land-locked sailor, I'm having great vicarious fun watching your progress. You haven't said, but it always bears repeating: things should have been done correctly the first time. If that had been the case, much of what you're doing now wouldn't be necessary. You're building a boat that will last you for 40 years and more. Congratulations. You give me a lift every week.
Definitely the right call, It will look so much cleaner and fresh one painted
When someone like Aladino says that he is really pleased with the work, you definitely know that the result is way better than 100% !
I have never seen this much tenacity from a couple. Carry on and stay well.
Thanks so much for all the continued support, we really appreciate it
I'm so happy to see you guys working on the boat. I know first hand how painstaking it is to refurbish a boat. I can't wait to see the next episode. Keep up the awesome job.
Mold is much more dangerous for human health than most people think/know! Therefore I'm really, really glad that you decided to get rid of every piece of mold (even if it means so incredibly much more work to do).
This is the time to fix the damage properly, you will add decades to this boats life. Well done both of you!
A team like you two is unbeatable! I think I have to agree with Maya. The idea of something rotting behind what I can see, and looks perfect, just wouldn't sit right with me either. If you are going to fix something as important as your home, do it right.
My wife and I cruised full time for 12 years on our Westsail 32. But we're too old to do projects like yours. We can't know how many years we have left. I begrudge ever minute spent on the hard. But you two have many years. Fair winds and following seas.
Your musical choices are fantastic to accompany your narrative and superb visual content. The Mozart Rondo was an added bonus!!
Crazy progress - go go go! This is the mindset you need to be in - rip out anything with any indecision, then deal with the fix…because dealing with the doubt for the next 5 years will eat your soul! Cut rip, and just do it ALL…u are finally there now…enjoy it and keep this mindset so your speed doesn’t slow…the speed will get you there, as you have all the skills, tooling, storage RIGHT NOW to do it…so GOOOO
I love the clinical way you guys work. Tool in one hand, vacuum nozzle in the other. So clean and tidy.
Good morning Magic Carpet crew. A new sub here who's been binge watching the entire channel the last few weeks. I have to say, I am very impressed with both of you and your skills, talents, music and teamwork. So glad I found your channel, courtesy of Exploring Alternatives, it has been a welcome reprieve from all the madness and chaos that is happening around us in the world today. I am looking forward to following along with the channel and your adventures of sailing and restorations. All the best, stay safe, keep well, and most of all, have fun!
Wow, what a lovely comment to read. Thank you so much for being here and commenting!
Make a hot box for your resin and hardener before you mix. That will help the viscosity issue and also start the curing process quicker.
I never tire of telling you both: I'm wowed by your talents, determination and team work!
demolition is fun. It leads to a new beginning.
You are both great and your boat is so worth everything you can give her. Wonder full flow
Jullie, hebben in 1 week. Echt veel gedaan.
Greetings from Spakenburg The Netherlands
I love boat work
Wow, talk about having to totally build a new boat! You guys are ambitious and hard workers!
P.S. Suggestion: Ditch the rub rails and buy fenders :-)
Great job!
You never regret doing something right.
Get that big heater running. It will make your work more comfortable and is much more energy efficient.
I agree. It looks like there's plenty of forest around for fuel.
Finding such balsa rot was at least vindication of the operation. Nothing better than knowing all the build work is on a sound base. Interior refit options now opened up.
Yes exactly!
It's nice to see someone caring enough to just do the extra steps to make something right. There is peace of mind knowing every inch of your vessel and it's condition. Pride of ownership.
You can relax and enjoy your new boat, knowing you did all these jobs.
Maya & Aladino, your youth, determination, skill, perfection and enthusiasm is absolutely inspirational. I always go from Friday to Friday wondering in between episodes what wonderful insights the next episode will bring. Thank you both for sharing your passions. Dan
Minnesota
Great job guys. So satisfying to see all the progress.
Well, that escalated quickly :). Operation Balsa seems like a lot more work... But it'll be worth it in the end!
You two inspire me.
Getting rid of the bad stuff and replacing it with new, not rotten, material is always a good thing. You both have really hit the ground running in this episode and it’s good to see that your game plan is working, sort-of since the weather won’t cooperate, but your getting things done and making great progress. Glad your back and are able to move forward on your MC II repairs.
Thank you
OMB! So glad we found your channel! Amazing work you two! We are getting ready to gut our boat and start this journey as well! Thank you for sharing, we are going to deep dive and binge watch you!!! ♥️✌🏼⛵️
I agree, glue the rub rail on, nice work :)
And that is a major thing that makes your channel so appealing, doing the job right every time! This is the ethic I've worked to all my life and it always pays dividends. MC-2 is going to be better than new! It will carry you far and safely for many years to come! Great job guys!
Great work Maya, was waiting to hear Wrecking Ball as background to your deconstruction!
I'm so impressed with your guys work ethic . It doesn't NEED to be done , but you WANT to do it :)
Judging from the way that interior fiberglass came off - it NEEDED to be done. A very gutsy project. A tip of the hat to both of you.
Suggestion: Build an insulated box with room for the heater and whatever epoxy and hardener you intend to use to warm at least the bulk product up.
We did that last year and have a box in operation!
Thanks for the suggestion
Spending the extra time and money will pay off in the long run and knowing there is no invisible water damage in the hull is much better , you two will end up with the best restored sailboats on the planet
We are rooting for you Maya and Aladino. I always look forward to your updates.
Every episode you release is so impressive. A little tip, When it's cold and you want to get laminate to harden, infrared heaters can work. If you want better thermal insulation, you can use a ten millimeter thick polyethylene foam that also occurs as a sleeping pad in tents. The material has dense cells and therefore does not absorb water. In colors such as black or dark gray, the material can be visible with its matte surface. The material can be attached with contact or carpentry glue. I have done this on my boat on the hull and under deck sometimes visible or hidden under other materials. The boat feels warmer and less damp.
Thanks again! I learn much from these videos.
Seriously well thought out refit, superbly videoed and produced. The classical music was nice in the second half.
You took the right décision by removing the molded parts and will not regret it 👌
Great plan to tackle such a nasty job right away when your energy is high. Although it is a lot of extra work that will delay launch, in the big picture it's not that much and the results are so worth it. As always great editing and soundtrack.
You guys are remarkable
Looks good guys...
Whidbey Is. port town of Coupville brought our paths together last week. Sorry to have interrupted your peaceful stroll with a "Welcome back to America" wish. If I had a composed moment I would have thanked you both for sharing your Trials and Travels. Fair Winds and Following Seas!
It was very nice to be welcomed haha! Thank you!!
Definitely rooting for y’all! I don’t even like being on a boat on the ocean. That’s not totally true… I just get seasick really easily. Point is, what I really appreciate about your videos is your desire to create beautiful, enduring spaces and your zest for life and learning and creating and growing and seeing new places. If you told me a couple years ago that I would look forward to watching two people work on repairing a sailboat every Friday I would have laughed in your face. Anywho, I do. It’s great. I can’t get enough. Thank you and keep up the good work!
That’s so lovely to hear Warren, thank you so much for being here!
Great job on the interior! As a sailor and contractor I am amazed at the skill and precise measurements as you work through the boat. You will be thrilled with the final result and enjoy Magic Carpet for many years. Rob
You are relentless. It motivates me to keep after my projects.
That is a very lucky boat.
Happy March and ice out on Lake Saint Clair in Michigan.
So with all the work completed so far I believe you’re beginning to see light at the end of your rebuilding project. Sailing season is rapidly approaching and also the competition of this amazing chapter of your story.
Sail on!
Nicely done!
Hi to you both,I really enjoy watching your projects ,your attention to detail is correct,and as you say,you feel better for it..so thank you for sharing your endeavours..I am always looking forward to the next episode.cheers Roly 🇬🇧.
You can also delete the rubrail. No holes, no leaks. They’re not substantial enough to do much good. Just carry a couple of good inflatable fenders.
Y’all opened up a big ol can of interior-cabinet-be-gone in the saloon! It was the right choice. The interior will be sooo much more ergonomic, and stylish.
I’m curious about your black and grey water plans now that the through the hull fitting portals have been filled.
Anyway, it’s wonderful to see the renewed enthusiasm. In the long run, time off is, in reality, a huge part of the forward momentum.
nice music style this episode 😉
Rub Wale. Something I learned from Robert Perry. chapman's "The Sailor's Lexicon" is a great historical resource.
A joy to watch you both again, you are both so focussed on doing everything better than original although it gives you both so much extra work. Take Care.
Great video. You guys are amazing, feeding off the love you have for each other.
Great music at 13 mins. Cool and funky!
What is it?
Yeah, I can‘t shazam it or google the lyrics...
.. Cheers to you ..
Operation Balsa is a GOOOOOO!!!! very nice boat will be awesome!! Keep rolling MC 2 team!! 👍👍👊👊⛵⛵
Here's something I did to avoid head thru hull exit. - Routed a 12 volt line to the deck pump out. Where I installed a 12v plug in with a cap. Put an off/forward/reverse switch on the line back at the panel. Changed the deck pump out fitting to accommodate the threads on a macerator pump. When I want to pump the holding tank under way I attach the macerator to the new fitting and plug in the 12 Volt plug to the new 12v fitting near the pump out. The macerator has a 5' hose on it with a 6" iron pipe at the end (to keep it below the water line. Then I pump the head out by flipping the switch. Once empty I reverse the switch and fill the holding tank with sea water (takes me about 60 seconds) and then empty the tank again. Keeps my head smelling clean, eliminates the thru hull issue. Also keeps the port authorities happy because you have no head discharge below the water line. And after a few rinses using forward/reverse switch the the hose and macerator are clean and ready to be stowed. At first I was worried the macerator pump might not lift the water up high enough but that was not a problem. An additional benefit - I could pump out my head into jerry cans if there was no pump out available. (like when you're living aboard while on the hard.)
I am definitely rooting for you from Los Angeles. You have fans/emotional supporters/well wishers from every corner of the globe. Keep it up, stay strong, ( and warm.)
Thank you so much Scarlet!
I agree completely with you Scalet, from 5-600 miles East (UK)
Should be 5-6 Thousand not hundred miles. (my navigation always was cr*p!
Big improvement on the editing skilllzz.👍
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
As hard as it was, dealing with things that are tickling the back of the brain is a good policy. This way, it won't come back to your mind on a dark stormy night on a long passage! Peace of mind is worth it!
Take good care!
One thing you can do to attach the rub rail, particularly as you have such a thick outer skin, is to use screw in blind 316 screw sockets. These have a course thread on the outside to epoxy and screw into the fibre glass then you screw the rub rail into the blind internal thread in the inserts.
I was thinking about using threaded inserts but they are pricey…
@@SailingMagicCarpet I’m sorry I’m in the wrong part of the world to help. My CNC lathe is in Sydney and I’m in Europe. I’ve wanted to make a production batch of those in several sizes but it didn’t work out that way. I might just do a design and get them priced from a company that machines a lot of parts for me. I suppose you would want to use 10mm bolts. I want to refit all of my stanchions with blind inserts, its not on my immediate work list.
Your both amazing!!!
Thanks for your vlog. Nice to see how the structural work is done.
you two are always uplifting... and fun... thank you
I so enjoy watching your vlogs, I went back and watched from the beginning and binged watched, so fun
Aw that’s amazing!! Thank you so much John!
Gutsy move - tearing out the fiberglass to repair the balsa. Wow, that balsa sure looks structural to me.. This project is worth watching. I'm subscribed!
Well done ,, 👍 , it’s not about how big the step is , it’s about taking it. 🎉🎉
Amazing progress this week. You guys are legends 👏
Such a brave move and also..... Totally in character. Do it right over half assing it.
what about fiberglassing some brackets to the outside of the hull and bolting the new bump rail to those? That way there's no hull penetration at all, and at worst a bracket breaks off in a bad bump rather than a bolt shearing through the hull.
I did the same on my boat and it worked a charm. The added bonus was that the water that washes up over the deck immediately runs off and does not stay on deck and suffer ingress into the deck and beams as it doesn't go into the hull at all as well as sitting proud of the hull providing extra protection as it sit slightly wider of the hull.
Maya, you look like you are having way too much fun with the mallet.
Great, not cutting corners. I like your work.
👍 you guys
Really liked the music choices for this episode. :) Nice progress on your amazing vessel! :)
Thanks Jason! So glad you liked the music selections!
I liked it too, very much so! What was the introsong? Greetings from bern, switzerland:)
@@SailingMagicCarpet what is the t-rex song around 14 min!?
I`m on the same decision for the rubrail. I saw a solution with just taping on -no silicon, of course.. for my little boat I think this is a good idea. (Mein Chef in der Werft hat immer gesagt; jedes Loch im Boot, ist eines zu viel)
Great teamwork!
You give a realistitc look at pushing yourselves forward to achieve an end that you can be proud of and that will keep you safe. Love your knowledge and skill, both of you!
We are making an offer today on a 1983 Vindo 45 here in USA
Beautiful boat
Only 2 owners
Kept up with an open check book ower. Very exciting
I think you might be speaking of OWL- a stunning boat!
Good luck and all the best:)
~Aladino
You guys are amazing, it’s your boat you need to do what makes you feel comfortable with the boat.
Magic Carpet 2 is going to last 100 years after Aladino is done with it.
Wow, excellent progress. I agree that working from a "clean slate" will actually speed up the finish.
love the updates, starting to look forward to them
3 M tape or emblem tape works well to attach stuff . Often used to hold boat windows in .it is what holds the emblems on your car. Might be an option for the rub rail .
Bravo ! Ça bosse dur, mais ça en vaut la peine✊😁
There Are some Amazing Automotive Body Adhesives That Would Do A Great Job Of Holding That Rub Rail
Excellent music! Bravo to the editor!
Just carn't wait to see the final product will be so beautiful. Its strange how just a small amount of moisture can do so much damage and of course is also unhealthy. Bless you both.
Much respect to you both!! The quality of work and dedication is amazing and I absolutely am rooting for you!
You guys should follow SVPRISM, you guys have a lot in common. They have refitted their Hans Christian 33 twice now just like you guys are doing! 👍🏻
We do follow;)
I’m enjoying your program , Thankyou for sharing your thoughts and experiences .
You don't need to go all the way through the glass to attach the rub rails. Thus preventing moisture intrusion in the future. If the glass is an inch thick go in 3/4 inch.
