Sail Life - Rotten and delaminated core chat w. Boatworks Today - DIY sailboat refit

[@boatworkstoday]

Thank you for inviting me on your channel Mads :-) Was a pleasure to talk and get to know you!!

[@SailLife]

Thanks for agreeing to do this Andy :) It was a lot of fun to get to meet you after having been watching your videos for years. And of course thanks for all the awesome tips and tricks! :)

[@boatworkstoday]

Would like to do this again, really enjoyed it!!

[@alexcouto9772]

Please do! :)

[@Esthersimpson620]

*Benoit Jansen-Reynaud* Wood boats are OK, I knew someone who built and sailed his concrete yacht.

[@theq68]

@BoatworksToday Are you going to do a video of this from your perspective, it would be fun to see the difference.

[@wilber504]

Don't let the naysayers rain on your parade! You are doing great!

[@SailLife]

Thanks! :)

[@FlashGormless]

I have a canal cruiser here in England that I bought as a project, Totally stripped it out down to the shell and have spent the last twelve months working on her. I knew nothing about boats and with the help from your videos and Boatworks Today have helped me enormously and given me the information I needed to restore my boat. Thank you both for all the videos they help not just me but thousands of other enthusiasts. Never dwell on the negatives they just wish to be doing what your doing. Think of the positive efects you both give people :)

[@patrickphilips9209]

I don't know if I would ever buy a boat that needed fixing up, but I am so glad you have. Watching you fix up your boat and the skills you learn and the problems you over come are not only very inspirational, but also damn educational. I very much enjoy your show and I thank you very much for sharing your adventures with all of us who truly enjoy your videos. Thank you Mads.

[@denniskeohane1219]

Don't let the negative Nancys bother you Mads. The vast majority of us are inspired by your work.

[@SailLife]

Thank you so much! :)

[@richhamel6810]

How can anyone give you a negative comment? You are one of the nicest people on the planet. To me there is no difference to what you are doing to someone who buys a run down house or beaten up car and restores it. You do it because you love it. I for one enjoy watching you and hopefully will get a boat someday so I can work on it. I've been watching Boatworks Today for the same reason. Thanks to both of you for sharing what you do.

[@RonKris]

I understand 'this kind of work'. I enjoy it too. Having said that, I don't understand people that like doing yard work...planting flowers, trees, cutting grass etc...but, that is what they enjoy, and I would not criticize them on their pleasure. I also enjoy fixing or working on cars; some people simply detest that, but I don't. We all have our pleasures in life. Thanks for taking us along with you on your journey.

[@lisahanlin5317]

I am so glad that you do not listen to the negative unhelpful comments that some leave. My husband and I find you very informative, enjoyable..entertaining and encouraging. Thank you for doing and being all you are..a Big Thanks from Canada and keep up the good work🤗🤗

[@rochicomunale359]

Mads I love how passionate you are, I love what you do and I completely share the dream!!! A project boat is the only way to get to know inside out your home! For me that translate in self love, caring at your boat, your house is loving your life, be safe at sea is the most important thing ever! Keep up with it! Love what you do!

[@p0tatis]

Hi Mads! I applaud your integrity and not getting the negative voices get to you. What you are doing is to share the love of refitting an old boat and inspiring the rest of us. We are getting closer to realising our dream as well, becoming liveaboards ourselves. When the time comes, I let you know when it´s close. Going south next tuesday to look at two cruisers that will take us around the world. Fingers crossed. All the best! Henke

[@GeorgeHamilton-pt2fh]

Oh brother!

[@michellafrance7216]

Sailing Life and Boatworks Today together on KZbin, you made my raining Sunday full of sun again! Thanks!!!

[@bxcvf2038]

Your closing comments were well said! The work is a part of the adventure. I am one of those who is on that adventure. My approach is the fix something, then sail the season, then fix another thing. At 65 it doesn't seem reasonable to dry dock the boat for 4 years!!. Echoing others, it was great to see two of my KZbin channels collaborating and at a time when they are working on similar projects!! You and Andy break down your projects to manageable bites that motivate DIYers like myself to break out of our comfort zones and get at it!! Thank you Sail Life (Mads) and Boatworks Today (Andy)

[@Nomad5d]

I spent almost 10 years remodelling a 100 year old house. I'm sure if I had spent all that time at my job instead I could have afforded a fully remodelled house but that wouldn't have been nearly as interesting and I would have learned nothing new. You enjoy fixing your old boat and we'll enjoy watching.

[@svdoinitright7519]

First, fantastic that you and Andy were able to get together. You are two of my favorite KZbin channels and you two are the biggest reason that I started my dream project. Second, thank you for addressing the negative comments! I couldn't believe them as I read them last weekend. Some of the finest moments that I am finding are when things go completely wrong and you find a way to overcome. I started my project having never been on a sailboat and knowing nothing about them. Mine came with an engine in pieces, stuffed in boxes. The only video I've posted so far, is when I fired up the engine for the first time. What a feeling! This weekend I found out that I don't have a mainsail in my inventory. I bought a used one and it turned out to be 5 feet too tall. Thee are all learning moments and the whole reason for doing a project like this. Thank you for getting me started and with your constantly positive outlook, keeping me going! Some of us really appreciate what you do (and Andy too!) Steve

[@mb97355]

I've enjoyed Andy's videos too. He does very good work and in his How-To videos he explains it all in detail in an easy-to-understand way. My boat is 50 years old this year (I've only had it for 3) and the previous owners have taken good care of it. I still have some things I want to change and improve and your and Andy's videos give me confidence that I can do it too.

[@peterroland6258]

Thank you for linking us to Andy and Boatworks Today. Between the two of you I am learning heaps. Keep up the great work.

[@w.mozart3048]

I love your videos and yes, you mentioned it a zillion times, that you like what you are doing. One can feel that and for me, it makes the charm of your channel. Please keep doing what you are doing, just like you are doing it, and ignore those idiots who try to tell you otherwise!

[@mattcox5540]

I can't tell you how often people ask why I'm fixing up my old boat (1974) instead of buying something newer. Like you I feel that part of the fun is in working on the boat and knowing every part of her. I think a majority of people people think that is not so spiffy but I have realized I'm doing this for me and my family and not others. I love what you are doing and I understand your uncommon dream. Keep up the good work!

[@beverleyportlock9680]

Hi Mads - Ignore the negative posters. Your many mini-projects have been a great help to me in planning my own boat projects. Thank you and keep going as long as you enjoy doing it. Big thumbs up!

[@funkyfender1]

So good to see you hook up with Andy from Boatworks Today! I too have been following him for sometime! This is a sharing of the passion for bringing older boats back from being aged and issue laden. It's also interesting to get an insight into differing construction methods and materials. I want to thank you Mads for having the courage and motivation for ploughing on with this project. You're an inspiration to us guys with perhaps smaller projects we've been putting off for months or even years! So tomorrow evening I'll be rewiring my nav lights! Fair winds and happy sanding 😎

[@1240enzo]

Hey Mads I am totally on your page on the enjoyment, knowledge and skills gained from doing your own repairs, be it to a boat, or an old house or even an old car. The latter being what I have done and am still doing today. Hence translating such skills and work to a boat doesn't feel daunting. Just a range of new challenges to confront and overcome. So kept going mate, we all are learning through your experiences.

[@01ariti]

Great video Mads, Andy is an absolute artist when it comes to boat repairs you will not go far wrong using his advice. Boatworks Today is repair gold to anyone doing repairs small to large and like yourself he is very engaging to watch.

[@rnulfengesbak9446]

Have followed all your videos and appreciated it. Have a 43 foot that I'm still restoring. Have the same attitude as you, it's fun to fix things and it's part of my identity as a man, the pleasure of building things with hands and seeing things that have been broken work again.

[@brucekratky7993]

I live about 3 hours from Andy at Boatworks Today. I'll be taking a short vacations with my wife in July to Bayfield, Wisconsin. It is an absolutely lovely place to visit anytime of year but especially during the summer months. The Apostle Islands are wonderful to sail through and visit and Lake Superior, though a fresh water lake and not the ocean, offers true, big time sailing. One needs to know what one is doing when you sail that lake.I enjoy both of your channels so much. Your dream is my dream...some day. Your positive attitude is refreshing. Oh how I wish I had a boat shed like the one you found readily available to me. If I had one I'd have purchased my dream boat long ago. Press on.

[@Steffenator]

Fixing up your own boat also give you more of a connection to it. You've spent your time and effort making the boat yours in more ways than just owning it. Also, your keeping a good old boat on the water for a few more decades. It's kinda heroic. Keep up the good work.

[@alexmugford7306]

Hi Mads, Thanks for the awesome channel, the cross over was extremely informative. I have exactly the same dream and find myself looking forward to Sunday's to watch your progress. I have personally taken a different path to achieving the same amazing result, by leaving a lucrative career as an engineer to be a shipwright in a marina to gain hands-on experience and cannot agree more that knowing your vessel gives peace of mind. Again Thanks for the awesome channel and the introduction to Boatworks Today.

[@BBK107]

You are a great facilitator of communicating your thoughts, concerns, and approach to your current project. It was delightful in seeing the small excerpt of your video chat with Andy of Boatworks (Today?). Your positive criticism and the end of this vid was, spot on!!! Thank you for your videos of Athena - absolutely find them inspiring. Cheers!!!

[@johnx9318]

What a great video! Two of youtube greatest boat-fixing stars, brilliant! Thanks. In response to your diatribe - I wouldn't touch a project boat for all the tea in china - I'm too old. However, I watch both your and Andy's channels religiously. I am glad that you both do what you do as I learn heaps from both of you. Thanks again.

[@kensenzig5116]

This video with Andy was Terrific with a capital T !!! Loved every minute. Ran it twice and will run it again. Enjoy the thinking behind some of the decisions undertaken. Keep on keeping on.

[@nanocofocclo440]

I enjoy watching YOU work with your hands to get OUR boat ready to sail the 7 seas. It needs to be sea worthy so take your time, enjoy the project! Great Job so far :)

[@neilmarshall4927]

I've been subscribed to both of these channels for a long time, now. Boatworks is awesome, as is your channel. Cheers

[@SailLife]

Awesome! Thanks! :)

[@razzorbladz]

me 2 glad to own a steel boat

[@claytonfergie]

Collaboration - just brilliant guys!! You modelled being human at its best and provided plenty of oxygen for this old guy - thanks heaps. My boat is as much project as it is cruiser and both are what get me up in the morning! Keep doing what you are doing.

[@shannonmcquiston9192]

I just finished watching your video with boat works today, who happens to be one of my other favorite ypou tube channels. I most appreciated your talk about negative comments and nay sayers at the end of your video. Any idiot can point out faults. Only ambitious, intelligent people are able to look for solutions to the faults. Please, never let the said nay sayers sway ypou from your dreams, because you have certainty encouraged my wife and I on the restoration of our Allied Mistress 39 that we intend to cruise on. One final note, we are amazed that English is your second language, you are definitely sharper than the average tool in the box. Thanks again Shannon McQuiston.

[@bayanicustodio3998]

For some unknown reason, you give me hope that there are more people like yourself in this world. People willing to work on their dreams. Keep going and I'll keep liking, learning, watching and most of all dreaming.

[@billroberts9182]

Great video! Thanks to both you and Andy for educating me. Ignore the negative comments and get back to sanding, tearing old materials apart, and making it right again.

[@red-hat-mike]

You are such an inspiration to me and how you approach life and this boat... that its like seeing a beautiful woman. Thanks for taking the time to make these video.

[@txwallbedmurphybeds8286]

Excellent information. I learn not only how to repair the boat but also how they are made. Your information is invaluable. Thank you!

[@sailingvesselsouthernlady447]

Many people just don't understand the satisfaction of fixing and reusing something old. In the end it will be better than anything made in the factory. Great video!

[@corujariousa]

Completely agree with your closing statements. The learning you are getting out of all this work is priceless. I used to have a sailboat and dream about getting a new one in the short future. I learned so many lessons w/ that first (old) boat. Those lessons made me more prepared not only for boat related matters but also for many other situations in my life. I appreciate all your videos and admire your constant good humor, politeness and optimism. Stay strong, focused and keep learning and sharing. Cheers.

[@SuperMurf44]

just wanted to say I love the lengths youre willing to go to to repair your boat & film it at the same time..both things make my day. lucky you that you're single cuz you'd never get that much time to do the things you love..keep on keeping on👍

[@RuralVacantLandcom]

O heck yeah, for Father's day I got a day to work on the boat. Fixed some wireing drove it around the Coronado Island. Ground out some cracks, fiberglassed them in and painted the front half of the boat. Next I'm sanding the glass flat cleaning and then more paint. Its dark out and now I'm watching you two for pointers on future boat works. Thanks Guys!

[@kduborg]

WOW! What a wonderful day! Two of my biggest idols in one video - how lucky can I be? 😀🤘. How fun Mads - earlier this week I thought to recommend you to contact Boatworks - was too busy writing you. And then this episode appears! 👍👍👍

[@prometheus7504]

Andy is how I found your channel you both are great . Thank you for all yalls hard work.

[@bowtie406cid]

Looks great Mads. I like that you are seeking professional opinions instead of just tackling problems. I don't understand how people don't get the concept of "Project boat" but you're doing a great job & the boat is coming together nicely. Keep it up.

[@paulzell5353]

I too am re-doing an older gem and love the work it is taking to bring her back to life. Anyone can go out and buy something, but not everyone can rebuild something. Taking pleasure in your work is a great thing, not many can say or even begin to understand. Stay with your dream! A big thanks to Andy from Boat works today too. Cheers.

[@piccman1]

Nothing more satisfying than fixing problems with your boat by yourself. The knowledge gained from this is extraordinary. You will know the boat inside and out and as you said, be able to fix anything that shows up. Well done with Boatworks today. I too enjoy his channel. Carry on, Mads, and keep up the good work 👍

[@svsalacia6495]

I love what you are doing with the boat. If i was 20 years younger I would be doing the same thing. Keep living the dream.

[@dgourdine50]

Mads, Thank you for all you do and share. I greatly appreciate the fact that you are a "Can Do" person and not a "Arm Chair" critic. So tired of people wanting to tell others what they should or shouldn't be doing........as we say in Brooklyn, "Don't worry about me, Son; DO YOU!!!

[@GeorgeHamilton-pt2fh]

The people who notice.. errors for example ...may interrupt the pleasures of the ignorant who think because it is on utube it or patron then must be expertise ..but bringing those errors to the general attention is far more important than interrupting the mesmerisation.

[@dallashallett3492]

Two of the best, Mads and Andy, what a double act. Well done to both of you and thanks for the positive way you guys go about things. Mads if your other work is anything to go by that deck is going to look bloody fantastic in the not to distant future.

[@bchrisl1491]

this was a good dialog, and well edited. I am restoring a twenty nine foot sloop ,that was laid in 1968. I found your channel and have been watching clips almost nitely. this clip xo gained much useful information. tomorrow I tackle a rotten core in the cockpit.

[@sailingchloe2330]

Those negative comments are from people that don't hav the skills , nor the positive attitude that you have. Don't pay any attention to these kind of people. They're just watching you in awe.. and perhaps you make them feel a bit incapable. Keep up the Great work. You're doing a fantastic job!!! VERY IMPRESSED!!

[@christopherbarth1175]

Hi Mads, I don't own a boat, have no desire to own a boat or fix one up. That said I thoroughly enjoy watching your channel. I like to see people fixing things that I have no ability to fix. I have a motorhome that keeps me busy and I get quite a few ideas on how I can fix something on that by watching you fix something on your boat. Keep up the good work.

[@henrikschwarz5214]

Nice to see Andy on your Channel 😄Andy is fantastik and Nice to hear that fixing a old boat is fun. I love it to👍⚓️

[@mrjsmoss]

We've become a discard and replace society because it's "cheaper" but not always better. Kudos to you for keeping her alive and enjoying the process at the same time. To hell with the naysayers. Toss another biscuit to Jokull please. Thanks Mads, you've got heart.

[@jinx0192]

Athena is going to be one great sailboat once your done! Remembering how you cleaned up the electrical system alone is proof. The deck will turn out the same way I'm sure. Having Andy on your side doesn't hurt either. Love his channel too. Keep up the great work!

[@newbrunswick12345]

Boatworks Today is an awesome channel

[@SailLife]

Sure is! :)

[@tonyroberts7086]

Thank very much for the time and hard work you place in sharing your time with us. Sadly I sold my boat recently but you have become part of my Sunday ritual viewing Now you've introduced me to another mads. USA I'll be subscribing and watching both Ignore the neg comments we are all very excited watching your project unfold

[@danielculpepper8772]

Well said Mads!! Some of us enjoy the efforts AND the results of our labor. Continue doing a first class job with the boat and the videos. Thank you for including us on your voyage!

[@waynebilko]

I can't believe it. My two favorite learning channels in one. Almost surreal! Thanks for bringing out the best of Andy, Mads. You guys make a great team, and I hope you do more of this!

[@svguenevere]

For ANY ONE who is planning on cruising, what you are doing is SO SO valuable! We were cruising the Sea of Cortez and heard a “HELP HELP” radio call on Ch 16. When I responded, the guy was 50 ~ 75 miles way off any populated area. I offered to walk him through the problem. He responded, NO. He wanted me (or some one) to come to his boat to fix it. AND, it was a simple fix! Don't know what happened to him, he was not in danger of sinking, so I let him call others.......

[@ramblerebel1]

I would like to say thanks for a great video, I watch both you and boat works when ever you put up a new video. I find them so informative and get to learn so much from them. Thanks once again

[@Yettirings1]

Awesome job, I absolutely love boat works today. Andy has to be a Rock star of the DIY. I share your dream and understand the whole idea of breathing life back into the sail of your project boat. I hope to start my project in the upcoming year. which will mark the count down to brushing off the dust of the dirt and prepare for the waterlogged fingers and toes of the ocean. please keep the videos coming.

[@daleyurk4369]

Mads, don't sweat the naysayers. You are an inspiration. Keep up the great videos!

[@beauturner5755]

I truely enjoy watching you work on every step of Athena! dont let any negative comments bother you. keep up the good work!

[@theq68]

Mads in relation to the last point, some people don't understand that much more important than finishing the boat is the journey to get it, I and a friend repaired an old Peugeot 106, the time alone we spent on it if we went to MacDonald flip burgers would let us buy a new better car but the pleasure of seeing the car run and the knowledge we got are priceless, I see your project as the same. Every week I wait for your videos eagerly. I kind of want you to have lots of issues as it will make you do more videos, sorry for being selfish, keep the good work.

[@radiomattie]

Great to see you both chatting together. Two Great channels from both sides of the ocean. It just shows you how willing boat people are to help each other. Naysayers are just people who dont want to learn..or are too lazy.. You are doing a great job of Restoring your boat. I for one have learnt a lot, and I have grown up around boats.

[@johnmurphy6366]

Made,great collaboration with Andy,Try to not let the naysayers affect your positive outlook,by fixing the boat,you become intimately aware of how to repair the problems that come up in the future.keep up the great work.

[@samiamm5764]

Awesome collaboration of two of my favorite channels. I'm pulling with you Mads, just do your thing and ignore the haters. Also, much love and respect to Andy, what a class act. A wealth of knowledge happy to generously share time and insight, trying to help a brother out 👏🙂👍

[@Markvanderboor]

Hello! I have been watching your videos for a few months now and I find them very entertaining as I love sailing boats and it is very interesting to see such a large project of restoration! Keep up the good work and please do not be discouraged!!

[@rexvaughn986]

This is such a terrific video. You should be so proud of your work and keeping a positive attitude. The world would be a better place with more people with your attitude and perseverance.

[@dannyboy9817]

Fantastic & very informative. Thanks for sharing to both you & Andy. As for the negative feedback you've been getting.....over here in the UK there was once a very special gentleman, very much a boating man of the most noble kind, who's legacy is very much alive today.....his famous saying was "With courage, nothing is impossible.!". His name was Sir William Hillary. The negative trolls out there should do a google search of him. I wonder what they would have thought about his dream had they been alive back in his day. Keep up the great work Mads, you're an inspiration for me and my own boat restoration project.

[@AndyUK-Corrival]

Excellent advice on the epoxy vs Polyester resin and the fillers, very helpful. As for unsalvagaeable, ha, yes got to be the funniest comment so far. I, like you, love doing up old boats. I spent 15 years doing up a very big wooden fishing boat which people told me would never float. It had been put the water for 10+ years and required an inordinate amount of work which I did myself. When she went in the water I heard the boat yard comment she probably took on more water when she was new... I ignored the doom and gloom crowd telling me I was crazy' it will cost you a fortune, when will it ever be finished etc, etc. God knows what I would have done if there was social media back then. So love your attitude, you have many more supporters than doom and gloom people so keep going, as I know you will. Andy

[@777melvyn]

Hi mads, glad that you have been in touch with Andy, and I've enjoyed the video content keep the sunny side up. Ps disregard the sad comments. I know the enjoyment that your project gives you. BFN.

[@oiops]

Mads, I see your enjoyment in every weeks video. Understand many either do not like projects, for obvious reasons (sweat, time and/or injury risk) or they are task oriented and Athena must be made 100% right now. Forget the negative comments, I envy your dedication and wish I had such a fantastic project. Subbed to your friends channel, he looked to have some nice videos.

[@W4ABN]

Fixing an older boat does take a lot of time and money but it's all about what you get out of it. You, like me, get plenty of experience, knowledge, and satisfaction on doing a good job and being able to do it yourself. I also enjoy working with my hands. Would have to with the project I've been working on lately. Early last year, I pulled my engine and over three months did a partial rebuild myself, with no prior knowledge on diesel engines. The reason to pull the engine was to replace the leaky fuel tank located under it, in the keel. For just over a year, I've been building a new one, myself, out of fiberglass using vinylester. Crazy, I know. But, it's finally nearing completion and soon, I hope to get the engine back in the boat. Mads, you do a good job of ignoring the negativity. Too much of that in the world as it is. You're doing a good job fixing your boat and getting to know her.

[@larrywills5690]

Andy has helped me as well, he knows his business and a very nice man. In fact, I watched all his videos before starting on my retro fit of my boat.

[@HenryBrzeski]

Mads don't worry about the haters. Most of these pees sit and their couch and never even seen a fiberglass boat up close. You doing a excellent job tackling all the projects and issues. I love your videos!

[@hommie789]

Nice video MAde, glad you were not offended when lest week i recommended Andy's channel as i didn't know you were a fan. You both have great channels. Also never worry about the negative comments, they are from people who have not the skill to fix up a project them selves and look down on people who can and do it. A project like this produces a far better result than anything new and you get the added benefit of knowing the boat from all aspects. Love the channel Mads.

[@57berg]

Hi Mads, You really do not have to defend yourself. On any KZbin channel you have those negative people. I look forward to a new episode of your vlog every weekend! ☺

[@theislandpackrat]

Great video! The thing I love about Andy is he doesn't mind trying to help people learn how to do it them selfs, So many shops just say pay me and I'll do it, but won't help you with info. The guy that taught me glassing new I didn't have money to pay what he charged and always talked me thru how to do it. Mads that's also why I watch yours you also explain how you do everything and do great work! 99% of the na sayers don't even have a boat. Like I always say anyone can buy a new car or boat but can you fix it yourself? Both of you keep up the great work!

[@nikrazeendaud1937]

Keep on truckin' Mads! Ignore the armchair critics! Love your channel and I take my hat off to you for the commitment you have made to finishing this project!

[@tomparnell4718]

I think what you said at the end is so true. there will always be one or two negative comments but sadly it is a go to setting for some people. I love restoration and restore antiques. for me its all about the hard work and the satisfaction at the end. keep up the good work and thanks for the videos !

[@meatloaffourdinner]

the only two channels I watch the day they come out. I thought this was great and I appreciate the way you addressed the negative comments. as always a great video.

[@philedwards5703]

Didn't realize how much I looked forward to your videos until your latest didn't show up

[@SuperCruelworld]

Thanks for introducing me to Boatworks Today. Always looking for more good content. Also Thanks for all your time to create these great vlogs and sharing your story. I hope that people start to get it. This is your journey and we are invited along as guest. So for the negative Nellie's please start acting like one.

[@Kimbercat98]

Awesome information you included! It was great to see two of my subscriptions getting together to solve problems in a way that will benefit us dreamers when the time comes for our boat DIY

[@rajalouis]

Mads, a great upload again.usually Skype chats on KZbin can be as boring as hell but not in this case .I'm well impressed with all the work done so far & don't be stressed on negative comments what your doing is showing what hard work, perseverance & a dream can do. Oh & who cares about the unicorn folder, I'm well impressed with your Mount Fiji screen saver. Louis

[@dalechristensen6246]

You tell 'em Mads! Yes here will always be haters but there are also those of us who appreciated your tenacity and resolve and intelligence in approaching the problems you deal with weekly.

[@robertcole9391]

It's your dream. Live it! Thanks for all you have shared. It is inspiring. As for the trolls, negative commentators, they are nothing but armchair quarterbacks. Piss on them! Just keeping doing what your doing and enjoy.

[@WaterFaucet24]

I will likely never own or work on my own boat. However, I do enjoy watching your DIY "adventures". There is always something to learn. Can't wait for the sanding, fairing, and painting!

[@SailLife]

Thanks for staying tuned :) Don't worry there will be a ton of sanding in the upcoming videos ;)

[@RobFomenko]

Wow 2 of my favorite boat repair guys in one episode... awesome. Madz, I agree totally what you said about the negative comments. But then, remember that some people just have to rain on someone's parade to feel manly... don't worry about it and drive on. In the end it's your time and money.. and reward, and we get to go along a bit for the ride and learn from you as well. A lot of people don't want to mess with wet saturated decks. Paying someone to do this would be very very expensive. But taking out the cost of labor, and working from above vs below... you save a lot of time and money..

[@kevinculhane3528]

Thanks for the link to another diy boat channel. And inviting us a long on your dream. I'm fully confident your boat is repairable and you will finish it with great detail. Keep up the great work and vids!

[@tiborkiss9186]

Great video - and a big thank you for showing all the reparation work in detail - anyone with a not new boat can thank you for your vids. I am most looking forward to see the deck replacement - especially the middle plywood replacement - and how you will attach the end of it to the bow of the hull. All my best!

[@captnron3530]

You remind me of my grandfather who had an endless amount of patience and only looked at the positive side of life. Keep going strong I love your work. 2Dads.

[@fooshyandbuster]

Cool! The world's two best boat vloggers co-starring in the one video. Today, I'm planning on installing a few new cleats (thanks to Mads' butyl tip in an old Obelix piece) and I'll also gelcoat a few small holes (and thanks to Andy for the colour-matching info).

I enjoy both of your channels. I learn from each. Onward and upward.

Hi Mads, I won't lie, I skipped a bunch of the interview with Boatworks Today... Thanks for your candid comments, haters gonna hate etc... lol. I really enjoy watching your videos, so thank you for the time and effort it takes to plan them out and then edit them as well. Cheers from PEI Canada, Bryan.

Thank you for the plans to cover your costs, Mads. It's a very helpful part of the big picture for me.

I think it's a topic a lot of people are interested in :) As soon as I've got get deck completed I'll put out a dedicated video about the cost and any useful tricks I picked up along the way :)

Drake and Mo brought me to your channel and I'm so glad they did, I watched several of your videos and they're like a great relaxing therapy. Your eye for doing a job right and supreme craftsmanship is so "dang" satisfying! You are now my favorite channel on KZbin (although that should not diminish my love for Drake and Mo's work or anyone else's). Considering you consistently get more views than you even have subscribers, something tells me I'm not alone in thinking this. Thank you for sharing your great work. I will be watching!
