After a 4 YEAR REBUILD: full BOAT TOUR of our tiny floating home. [Vindö 32]

[@guyofStorm]

What a special endeavor it is to take something that others had decided had no value.. but provided you a dream your vision, hard work, your dedication and sacrifice restoring her previous beauty and function. It's a mutual relationship of trust. She trusting you to love and care for her..and in turn..your hands knowing her intimately and confident she is strong and sound and will keep you safe underway. It's a grand adventure that allows for growth of the soul. Purpose is a beautiful thing. Happy travels.

[@utubefroggy]

Neet as a pin, clean as a hospital, impressive, beautiful, well refitted and maintained. Kudos to both of you.

[@angelsspirit335]

so glad to see you again. this has been a really rough year for me as it may well be my last. But i miss both of your smiles. your free spirits and your individual talents. i also miss the beautiful vistas from you videos.. i say it often but its true. Your both so young and vibrant full of joy for life as an adventure! Your music always soothes my heart. I would just love to meet you real life. i wish i had the pleasure of knowing you personally though i feel like i do through your videos. You were my first channel with regard to the "Salt life" lifestyle and that make you special. I set in my wheelchair and look out the window of my home at the rolling green hills with horses yet and still i long to have spent time on the water.. I am grateful for you both being courageous enough to go for your dreams. Life seems relatively short when i look back. every day matters. Live fully , learn and love as many as you can.Being fulfilled for me means freedom to live as you want within nature? You have my December and January Best season wishes for your happiness. Sincerely i am Art in West Tennessee of USA!

[@PaytonHetherinton]

hey i just happens to see your comment and i just want to say it really touched me. i hope you are staying well and are happy!

[@angelsspirit335]

@@PaytonHetherinton Thank you kindly. im in W. Tn. I have always been a deep thinker and adventurous. I have realized over the years i was seeking the wrong goals? I now realize i could have lived without some of those jobs that paid so well? i had barely lost my health when i had stepped out by faith and lived relying on God? I had discovered at an early age that i had talent with drawing. eventually winning a Art Scholarship! Murals. Portraits and anything built custom was where i found one of my loved endeavors.I love my grandchildren and countless family members. I reflect on so many thousands over the years that have shared a kind word for me ,to me or prayed for me to the Lord. Thats what im truly grateful for. Thank you for being so kind as to say something that humbles me.

[@paulbillinge5980]

Love the use of the old Violin cool

[@SailingMagicCarpet]

Thank you Paul! I also really love that feature -Maya

[@steamerAE]

Yes what a cool idea!

[@diver0129]

I agree. It looks great.

[@michaelvanwinkle7919]

The craftmanship of the boat, by the builder and the rebuilder, Aldadino, is quite evident on this boat tour. Thank You for showing us your home.

[@jamesellsworth9673]

I could not imagine a better or more heartfelt boat tour. THANK YOU! The videos of your adventures show how livable and flexible the boat can be.

[@rabukan5842]

Beautiful boat and a tremendous job restoring her! I'm currently restoring a 50' motor yacht, and it feels like the work never ends. But the enjoyment comes when it's seaworthy. There is nothing like that first time at sea after all the hard work. You both are very talented, and it's great to see how well you work together.

[@stinkintoad]

I absolutely love this little sloop! It is such a pretty design and super high quality. Aladino is a man of many talents.

[@richardzastrow6354]

Wow, what a beautiful boat, I love all the teak. I especially like the teak on the sides of the cabin with fiberglass on the top, it’s a nice touch. I’m very impressed with your restoration, You did an amazing job restoring her, I’m so glad you brought her back to life. How sad to thinking she was destined for the landfill. You saved her! It’s obvious she is happy to be alive and sailing.

[@Taugtaug]

The Vindö looks so beautiful inside!! And so many modern yachts look like they got their Interieur from Ikea, but cost a fortune even used. I could live in the small space of Magic Carpet but never on a 50ft Jeanneau or Bavaria for 300k.

[@SailingMagicCarpet]

We have to agree with you there. The Vindö interiors really are works of art.

[@tumblyhomecarolinep7121]

Oohhhhh that was soooo interesting and helpful. Thank you for that. It did make us smile about looking at the beautiful wood not the stars. Lots of thought and pondering for us about our new boat from this episode..one thing we will miss from Mr Trouts old boat is the amount of storage space. It seems Magic Carpet has plenty of storage. Love love love the violin light

[@SailingMagicCarpet]

I am so so glad you found it helpful for your own project!! I’m so excited to see and hear more about how that all moves along for you both. And yes - I too absolutely love the violin light!!! -Maya

[@SVImpavidus]

Excellent tour with some very well thought out modifications. Sail Safe. Ant, Cid & the Pooch crew.

[@SailingMagicCarpet]

Thank you guys so much, and thank you for commenting on all our videos! Though we don’t always reply, we do read them all and really appreciate them :)

[@greggronemeier1256]

Nice tour ! Lots of work has been done since the damage. Aladino is an excellent craftsman.

[@BohemianBeatster]

A lovely little sailboat, fixed and remodeled into a little dream sailboat. I really love it.

[@carlobottigelli8955]

The violin light is the cherry on the cake, excellent cake! All MagicCarpet woodwork is fantastic and complete! As I designed and built my 33' wooden cutter 20 years ago (lots of work... but great satisfaction!), I feel entitled to foreward my very best congratulations to you two for your VERY beautiful jewel. I hope to meet you someday in the Greek seas where I keep and sail my "ODYSSEA".

[@AMorgan57]

Many brilliant choices and innovations, a real beauty full of subtle delights.

[@robertmstarr9028]

Thank you for the boat tour. The most beautiful boat I was ever aboard was a Bristol Channel Cutter name "Tradition." And I spent many hours on the phone learning about boats from Lyle Hess, dreaming of building a sister ship to the Pardey's Taleisin. But that was 40 years ago. Now I'm planning to buy something similar to a Cape Dory Typhoon, modify it a bit to suit my purposes, and sail it on lakes in eastern Washington and northern Idaho. Your videos are both entertaining and enlightening. I have grandsons now; I'd like to teach them to sail. The practical solutions and the skilled construction the two of you explain and demonstrate is enlightening and encouraging.

[@SailingMagicCarpet]

Thank you Robert for all your nice comments! Sounds like we have similar taste in boats. Teaching your grandsons how to sail sounds like a perfect plan:) All the best with your boat endeavors ~aladino

[@chankwong9911]

If Magic Carpet can talk , she would say thank you very very much for giving me a new life to this young couples ! 😄

[@wonderboy6511]

What a gorgeous vessel. Thanks for bringing her back to life!

[@glassman51]

A wonderful video for all us boat geeks and freaks,Paladino is an extraordinary craftsman and the boat is absolutely lovely and incredibly well engineered. Cheers to you both

[@be.side.schepop]

As a possible future Vindö owner I get really inspired by Aladino's passion for its wood work. ❤

[@wellcraft19]

Having grown up in Sweden, this Vindö brings back many sweet memories. Amazing restoration. Congrats!

[@LeifDjurfeldt]

Im swedish, Im a sailer to, and that is one of the most beautiful sailboats built up here in the north! :D Nice to hear you saved that one. Subscribed! :D

[@laurenseisser]

Hi, i about to buy a Vindo 30 or an + hallberg Rassy P28wich one do you chose ? regards

[@badgaming921]

You're not going to see this comment, but I just wanted to compliment you on all of your hard work and impressive skills in restoring that boat. Amazing job.

[@SailingMagicCarpet]

We see all our comments -- thank you very much!

[@stevebrooks4th]

This is an absolutely beautiful video while being totally practical at the same time. The best of all your videos...

[@SailingMagicCarpet]

I'm so glad you enjoyed it Steve! -Maya

[@Building_Bluebird]

It's such a beautiful boat and cozy tiny home. You should be very proud.

[@cjamachado]

Congratulations. Magic Carpet is a beautiful name. You have such a wonderful boat, a little jewel. Take care!

[@TimsBitsnPieces]

She is a beautiful little boat with all the things you need. You both have made her look fantastic and functional.

[@dsdrury]

Thank you Maya and Aladino for this video. I found it very interesting. You guys are living your dreams.

[@keebearfull]

really love that violin lamp. 5 star, top shelf, 1st class !!!

[@SailingMagicCarpet]

😊👍🏽

[@elliottmanning]

Love! Love! Love! Really Love this Video!!!

[@SailingMagicCarpet]

Oh thank you so much Elliot! -Maya

[@sailorsrpblc6625]

Man, you did a freaking awesome job with this wrack!!! Im sure when you approched the people to get this boat everybody was thinking you are crazy and never would be finished it. But you proved everybody wrong!!!!!

[@4amwaj]

best boat tour in the history of boat tours.

[@oundhakar]

For her size, that's a really well equipped boat. Great work.

[@johnf8877]

It is good that Maya knows the boat so well. It will serve you both well in an emergency.

[@grumpyjohntxredneckrc6346]

Might I Make A Small Suggestion & Repair? In The Cockpit Floor Put A Say 1 1/2" or 2" PVC Drain In One Of Rear Corners Down Thru Engine Lid w/Flex PVC Hose To A High True Haul Drain Hole Overboard! Just In Case Ocean or Fresh Waters Do Get In... Very Nice Lil SailBoat Y'alls Have Rebuilt Wonderfully! Thanks

[@SailingMagicCarpet]

Don’t worry John, we have two very good cockpit drains already! We just didn’t point them out in the video. Thanks so much for watching and commenting! -Maya

[@jwaldow]

Danke!

[@SailingMagicCarpet]

Thank you so much Jan!

[@philipfreeman72]

PERFECT sailboat for 2 , you both are very lucky .

[@maittlen]

Such a great re-fit. The mahogany is truly beautiful!

[@tadeokeith3549]

InstaBlaster...

[@liyachts]

I really take my hat off to your efforts to save the beautiful yacht!

[@jensasp]

Wow, you popped up thanks to the youtube algoritm. Nice to see a vidö in such nice condition. Lived very close to vidö boats as young as my father was one of the owners of the ship yard around 1980. He told many stories about customers that brought their boats via the canals to the mediteranian see. Good luck!

[@hollowaldfee4067]

actually one of my favourite vids... I am just restoring my old vindoe 30 and this gives some inspiration :)

[@TroyaE117]

You have done really well to save this old ship. 4 years is a long time.

[@clausejoke1985]

When you have infinite amount of money and time it's actually not that big of a deal and they obviously have both.

[@klouism1]

: You are one handy guy. You do beautiful work. Your boat is exceptional. Blessings to you both. ⛵

[@Lovesaildating]

What a fab boat, thanks for letting us peek inside your home.

[@angeloattard9748]

Dino, you are a master tradesman!

[@fiddleswithbikes]

THANK YOU for the cockpit tiedown idea!!! Our whole cockpit well comes out but it's a beast and normally it's screwed in. We're switching to a gasket and I hadn't come up with the tiedown/fastener method yet.

[@shyamlynn243]

Great tour, I love the sliding sink and violin lighting! The attention to detail on the whole boat shows and I hope you always sail safe. Greetings from BC Canada!

[@knoxmateo3194]

Aladino give yourself a hand what a great job you did thanks for the tour.

[@SailingMagicCarpet]

Thank you very much Luciano! Glad you enjoyed it:) ~aladino

[@AthelstanEngland]

Personally, I think the white fibreglass painted top looks better than the teak picture you showed. Sets off the mahogany superbly.

[@paulgallagher9734]

Beautiful yacht. Beautiful and talented crew.

[@myhillslife27]

I love Magic and love all your changes. Impressive, love your additions Maya

[@Hunter-ym2kk]

Simply beautiful.. especially under the cockpit.. the rounded grain pattern.. "the curvature" oh ya..

[@monkeymind4912]

You two are living my dream! Keep posting :)

[@frankbarr1101]

A beautiful compact boat - very well designed and organised

[@swimcat2333]

Whew!! Beautiful boat, enjoy! I love a tiller , great modifications

[@tias88]

So amazing to watch, going to show this to the people who owned Vindö Yachts, they've sold the boatyard but the family still lives in the same place. My great granddad bought a boat off the man who created Vindö Yachts :)

[@Richardfra1]

You two definitely have skills. Kudos to you both.

[@mikeziegler8988]

Wonderful tour and wonderful boat. You guys must of put a amazing amount of thought in the rebuild. WELL DONE! I'd like to suggest an idea to add easily on to any boat. Found on a car in sunvissor is a lite mirrror when opened, and when closed the lite goes out. It mounts flush. I think it would be cool and fictional idea to add to the boat. My blessings to the two of you, glad your back on the water.

[@tomas5376]

Very nice rebuild. Great use of space!👍✌️😊🙏🏼⛵️⛵️⛵️

[@SailingMagicCarpet]

Thank you!! Aladino’s pretty amazing eh? -Maya

[@richardhawkins2248]

Nice boat. My wife and I set a goal of getting a boat on our honeymoon and unfortunately moved to Colorado right after that. We ended up moving to Mississippi since I was on the external tank project for the Space Shuttle. I ended up working the Orion Space Capsule after that and it was sent to Florida for completion. I saw a great opening and took it. I was there on TDY for 11 months and bought a contest 31. We launched it in June and blew a head gasket right off the bat. That's fixed now and we're launching pretty soon. A friend and I are sailing her over to Mississippi and then my wife3 and trusty dog are taking off for a few weekends. We will be going to Belize or Mexico to go see the ruins we can't get to from a cruise ship. This boat will be for the keys and Bahamas mostly.

[@bahamasking2063]

Wonderful restoration and a Beautiful boat. First time viewer.

[@tymeryder7264]

Enjoyed the tour, thank you. You both complement each other well.

[@jeffg.4572]

This boat layout is amazing

[@yannblt2680]

First, sorry for my english ! I just discover your channel and that video. What a work you did ! It's incredible... Sincerly (i don't know if this word exist !), congratulations ! You gave me a new hope about young people !

[@jockeltje]

the glass for the petrol lamp can be ordered in at Auke Rauwerda in Leeuwarden/NL. just send a picture of the remaining body or the lamp in a original state and the measurement of the fitting and they can provide you with several options. They really have EVERY glasscap you can imagine.

[@astrogypsy]

What an incredible vessel.

[@kevbjork1]

Fantastic little boat. It's beautiful.

[@gavinarcher9389]

Brilliant and beautiful work you two..... have a wonderful, safe and prosperous life aboard Magic Carpet

[@MiQBohlin]

Aye m8's thnx for a nice tour! Aha, that's what I've been nagging on, the violin re… mount/re purpose/re make. Really liked Aladinos clever solutions in every nook. 👍👍👍

[@SailingMagicCarpet]

Thank you MiQ! Appreciate your support:) ~aladino

[@SailingMagicCarpet]

Thank you MiQ! Appreciate your support:) ~aladino

[@swedmiroswedmiro1352]

About the dryness in seas. Yes, it is built on Orust, a small island in western Sweden and it built for both coastal/archipelago cruising and for taking on the waves of the deadly North Sea. It has to be dry to be sailable there since water temps can get down to deadly levels spring and fall.

[@corypride]

An excellent video! Maya, you have become so worldly. We're all jealous of course, but I doubt many of us would be as well suited for your life of leisure...

[@knuteisbar8623]

Wow! Thats a nice boat and you did a good job restoring it! And the length is pretty perfect for 2 persons. Easy to handle but a cosy home in the harbours. I' ve got a 28ft. Boat in the Netherlands (a Friendship 28) and i always wonder why most of the people do sail on boats which are way to big for them! I hope you have a wonderful journey and enjoy your time on this scandinavian beaty! Greetings from germany and all the best wishes!!

[@clayfarnet970]

Beautiful boat...that you saved and appreciate. You did a fantastic job. The scar represents life...and Magic Carpet won. Great job! 👍👍👍

[@johnsherborne3245]

You might feel 28' is small, but have a read of Shane Acton's book Shrimpy. He sailed from the UK around the world in easy stages in an 18' Caprice, half way round he met his partner and they carried on together. Ask Santa or see if a library can get it for you as its out of print and copies seem rather expensive, but it is a good read and worth the effort.

[@sailingboats2980]

You have a very beautiful home/boat.

[@SailingMagicCarpet]

Thank you so much!!! -Maya

[@rimasmeleshyus6545]

Great video,many thanks . Warm greetings from the garden island of Kauai

[@patrickbenethuillere9139]

Toujours magnifique bravo très très belle video

[@ktown4852]

Thanks for the tour. Beautiful boat, and craftsmanship! Favorite detail was violin light. Very imaginative!

[@Sharpiesailor31]

Fun video guys and a nice tour of your yacht. The violin light is a great idea!

[@SailingMagicCarpet]

Thank you! -Maya

[@johndixon5097]

Beautiful boat and beautiful work.

[@leojoseph6385]

Great tour and Excellent job on salvaging then modifying Magic Carpet! Both of you are so inspiring, keep it going! You should consider giving sailing classes on a very limited basis as another source of income....

[@MarkWilliams-ix1qf]

I have sailed vicariously with you for many hours. You do well. If I may suggest, please put standard boilerplate in every comment section listing your names, fanciful titles, brief bios, the boat name and make/model, and a listing of the music credits for each video. I watch a lot of sailing channels, and need the reminders and pointers to the music. Maya's musical selections are wonderously eclectic, and are listed in the trailer usually, but it would be nice if they were always in text also. Keep sailing on!

[@santamulligan676]

Thanks vindos are rare outside the Baltic, so don’t see them in the UK interesting with beautiful wood that I too would be lost to, I quite like the Vega it has a big community and a get you there reputation, well done for saving the boat

[@sammolive1130]

Guys, thanks for this vid. I just bought a Vindö 30 and I share a similar love of Vindö. But holy crap, you guys pimped this baby! Well done!

[@petermirow]

Lovely boat, and lovely video. Congratulations! Wish you fair winds.

[@seandelaney1700]

Thank you for the amazing ideas. I wasn't sure you could remove a semi bulkhead like that, I figured it was just the style of the day, but it's neat to see one actually done. All the other ideas were so smart and seamlessly executed, just stunning. The curved mirrored pieces of laminate wood is so striking, particularly in contrast to the light white paint it was my favorite part as well. I did not realize you can sit and stare it at the "female" version from your birth : )

[@shanehnorman]

Looks like a well-found vessel. It wouldn't take much to make Magic Carpet into a fine little bluewater passage-maker. A bigger water tank and a reinforced companionway would pretty much do it, plus some wires along the deck (for attaching your harness in the event of having to go for'ard in a blow). You might have to forego the solar panels - a bimini is very vulnerable to wave damage - but a wind generator would mitigate the loss, as would putting a small panel on the fore-hatch.

[@BPratto]

Table the rotates, that's so cool

[@williamwirick886]

Very cool violin light! Nice work

[@clarkewi]

I lived on a 30' boat for 12 years in Half Moon Bay living on a mooring in the summer. Saved a pile in Bay Area rents.

[@RoryL83]

I'm gonna sail the Med alongside Magic Carpet someday. I honestly think Magic Carpet is the world's most beautiful boat and I'm not just saying that. The perfect amount of exterior teak along with the mahogany exterior on the saloon and the blue canvas just look stunning.

[@joanntukes5878]

The boat is beautiful, I love the mahogany. I enjoy their narration, they speak so well, lovely voices 💗

[@pec1739]

nothing beats the feeling of enjoying self-fix/restore/build-whatever-you-call-it stuff

[@toddabrahamsson1797]

What a great job you did on the rebuild.

[@robertw1524]

Beautiful work ! Thank you for illuminating me to the nuances of a vintage small boat. ; ) ⛵️

[@admichell9756]

Nice walk through video Thank you Lovely Boat. Looking forward to hearing your violin music . Lovely to hear you play previously.

[@donnakawana]

That's a beautiful boat. The work y'all did is amazing.. I'm a new sub an I'm going to catch up now!

[@SailingMagicCarpet]

Thank you so much Donna!

[@myhillslife27]

Me too!

[@TheNigeltwist]

Really nice job! Congratulations!

[@honorharrington4546]

Consider a strap to keep the folding side of the table to keep it from swinging into someones knee while sitting or walking past. Happy Holidays.

[@SailingMagicCarpet]

Thx Honor! But we re quite happy as it is The table is so heavy That it doesn’t really go anywhere else but pointing down. The only reason for lashing it down it when the hinges start squeeking but so far oil has helped:) aladino
