I wished I could afford to be a Patreon. But at 68 years old and only getting Social Security to live on. I barely can afford the internet and my 10year old laptop. I do look forward to Fridays!!! I didn't think I would like these episodes of refitting a boat. Boy was I wrong!! I would have never known how talented Aladino is. And of course, his amazing sidekick!!! lol!

[@jimlofts5433]

Benny - you are helping - you are subbed - do you tick and watch / play the ads also comment - this triggers the youtubey cash register to send torrents of money to them (edit torrents to trickle) but like the song by Paul kelly "From little things big things grow" every little bit helps - now having a baby seems to increase patronage ?? so who knows haha

[@Chr.U.Cas1622]

Dear benny spencer First of all: Happy new year! Your situation is a bit similar to mine. I'm almost 59yo and in early retirement since a long time because of health issues. Money is pretty rare/meager (even more in Corona/Covid 19 times with all those enormous price increases). I have only a 5yo smartphone with Android 6 (cannot afford other devices). I have to use a 24yo car and this becomes more problematic and more expensive every year. I would absolutely love to be a patreon for such fantastic projects/fantastic people but unfortunately I simply cannot afford it. I'm even a little bit ashamed to not to be able to be a patreon, sigh. OF COURSE I have watched absolutely all episodes (some even several times). I've always given thumbs up and nearly always commented. Usually I receive a heart and even an answer for my comment (which I both appreciated always and very much). I would love to donate some great/useful things for the hand writing that Maya does (for instance sandal wood paper and envelopes etc.). But the shipping costs are simply crazy expensive, even from Germany to Switzerland. But hopefully I will be able to find out the address of the Dutch shipyard where Magic Carpet lies. Shipping things to the Netherlands is a cheaper because it's inside the EU. Best regards, luck and health to all of you.

[@somadevo]

So much to admire

[@PanzerDave]

You are an inspiration! I am currently repairing hurricane damage and finishing a 50 foot catamaran and I constantly think of your attention to detail, cleanliness, and craftsmanship as I do my work. Thank you for your insights and taking me along on your journey. You have done more than just tell a story; you have inspired others and myself to tackle our own projects!

[@SailingMagicCarpet]

Wow, that sounds like a huge project!! We wish you all the best with it, and so so glad that our little project can help with some inspiration -- it certainly is important to feel like you're not alone with stuff like this.

[@olebloom1641]

Y'all are in a league of your own. Amazed at the storytelling and craftsmanship. Just damn! Looking forward to all the adventures.

[@SailingMagicCarpet]

So, so kind of you, thank you so much for watching and commenting Ole!

[@sailingsmalldreamingbig9022]

Very inspirational videos you create, thank you! The work on my own boat does not feel so frightening after seeing the major surgery of yours! Keep on good work!

[@steinarsport8368]

Nice to see that you are using Swedish Blåkläder 😊 Great job! One of my favour channel!

[@RoyClare]

A great watch, as always. Proud to be among your Patrons. Even if only able to support at a modest level, it’s a privilege to participate. 🎉💯

[@joveeke]

When Magic Carpet II will be finished, she will be better then new! So you can face the elements with confidence. Really an amazing job both of you are doing. For some people it can look boring watching this episodes, but if you own a boat yourself it's looking to magic. And I almost forgot... Best wishes for this new year ;-)

[@cD-vg5go]

A New beam instead of more repairs would eventually equal a quieter ship. Amazing pulling the beam in one piece, Bonus!

[@bobjones8864]

As always your explanations are clear, fully understandable with your thought process included, thanks.

[@larrycater-tx613]

I agree with Aladino. good job.

[@bradsquirrel7923]

Aladino is such an incredible craftsman. It is so interesting to see how he tackles these complex issues.

[@777rogerf]

Great opening shot of Atlas--err, Aladino--holding up the world of boat building--a least of Magic Carpets--together with Maya, the artist and multitasker extraordinaire.

[@GUCR44]

I have a h28sailboat with a sabb g10 that I want to get off the hard. I'm 60 years old and I come from a family of sailors. This has been a life long dream for me. I love to see you both doing it. Peace and love.. Rolf

[@MikeBanks2003]

I used a jury beam supported by props and wedges to take the weight of the carlines, then using ratchet jacks, I laminated strips of wood in situ using as a former, the existing deck. The wood I used was Tasmanian Oak which glues well, and I built up the new beams to fit exactly the existing deck. The job was actually easier than it sounds. The only trick is to have the hull level at the scuppers before one starts laminating anything. The glue I used was epoxy resin.

[@dwel2928]

We can tell what an accomplished craftsman Aladino is by how thoroughly he works to understand the boat's construction; and what a good teacher he is by how "simple" his explanations make it seem. Your boat will be better than new, and more beautiful with all the new woodwork. May your New Year be rewarding and blessed!

[@perstridh4545]

Loved the new beam and again, the skills you have. Truly inspiring to get a job done properly without shortcuts. Thank you!

[@nooneanybodyknows1321]

No stone left unturned. 👏👏 Happy New Year! 🥂🥂

[@carolgale2590]

It is coming along well.

[@bid6413]

Happy New Year to you both. 2021 has brought those of us who follow your channel many interesting and educational videos as you proceed with MC2 repairs. I hope that choosing to sister on another beam and not replacing the original doesn’t detract from Aladino’s joy and pride in perfection. Just saying…. Safe journeys.

[@MikeC19100]

Once again another successful project underway and looking MUCH better than what you had to start with. When you first started showing the problems with the sister-board configuration my mini-construction memories kicked in and screamed WHY didn’t they take it all the way to the side walls where it would be supported across the length. They could have easily cut the distance in half and with a nice scarf joint somewhere they could have spanned the entire length and possibly it could have saved you some work now. At the end of the day it’s clearly obvious that the work you are doing now is light-years ahead and so much better for the long haul you will be taking out on your blue water sailing adventures. I little overkill now for your safety and security is never a bad thing. Great job and looking forward to your next video to see what you’ve been able to get done before you return to Europe for a while. Happy New Year to you both.

[@bobbiejay2085]

Everything in and around Magic Carpet is enchanting. Love your story 🌟

Love watching your rebuild hurry back to the US . Looking forward to when she splashes.

[@petergreen3381]

Fein make an adjustable depth fence that bolts onto the base adjacent to the oscillating chuck. Makes it even more useful particularly for cutting mortices and removing caulking from decks with the hook blade without digging into the teak at the bottom of the grooves.

[@TheOlandex]

Continue to be so impressed with Aladino's skill and work ethic. He's not a believer in taking shortcuts just to make something a bit easier, and has the skills to back it up. You're both doing a great job - congrats on the project thus far, and Happy New Year to you.

[@jeflarremore7170]

You guys work well together. That's so cool. I feel like I'm getting to know you both so well. What a magnificent and complex project. The sense of accomplishment must be off the charts. Loved the outro music.

I like the channels that have boat work interspaced with sailing - that is the reality . Boats are in a tough environment and not only constantly coming apart but also deadly if you let it get too bad .

Good luck on getting Magic Carpet II in the water and off to smooth sailing sooner rather than later!

Hi,happy new year to you both.if you look around there are many beams that are deeper in the centre and taper towards the supporting ends.this is a similar situation that you have with your beam and it’s sister..since both look to be in good order from a viewer’s position it looks as if it is fit for purpose.thank you for yet another informative and entertaining video.cheers,Roly🇬🇧.

Love you guys! 2022 will definitely bring all you need, it is going to be a Magical (Carpet) Year....God bless

[@catboatadventures7208]

Sounds like we need to give Aladino a promotion. He's now a doctor with a marine surgical specialty. Congratulations Dr. Aladino! This is an extraordinarily impressive project and I am learning a ton from both of you. Well done. Keep up the great work both of you are doing. All the best, Jim...

[@svmystic3037]

I saw the episode and thought the part of the original beam that supported the bridge deck looked a little skinny. If I wonder if the original leak was caused by flexing due to lack of at the deckhouse joint. I agree adding a full widths sister is the right fix.

[@dougmyers6013]

Bet Aladino could make short work of and proper repairs to a Morgan Plus 8 that would be astounding, dang this guy is a craftsman of the old school type! In this country what was once a decent education and career path through trade schools was replaced by "without a degree you're nothing" and this is what we get as a result, great design and repairs by a guy who's education was through a trade. Excellent work!

[@nick.caffrey]

Brilliant storytelling, Maya! Loved the tension at the beginning. It just sucks that we cannot travel - or stay - freely on our (relatively) tiny planet. Wishing you both the very best for 2022. I'll be watching with great pleasure!

[@miketee2444]

Replacing rot, replacing rot that you have exposed by getting to the original rot and while it's apart replacing potential soft spots because you hope to never dismantle the boat to that extent again again. Wooden boats must be a labor you love because this never ends.
