8 Weeks Til Splash...?

[@SootHead]

You guys have created the fiberglass equivalent of the Tally-Ho restoration. Your vision, work ethic, skill and sticktoitivness are a great example. On top of that, youa are really nice people!

[@heinvosloo45]

I second that!

[@namastenicholas]

I agree with you about this, I've watched both this channel and the Tally-Ho restoration from the beginning of both. The level of commitment, attention to detail, and workmanship in both has been excellent.

[@Chr.U.Cas1622]

Dear SootHead 👍👌👏 You're absolutely right! The more finished gorgeous wood I see on/in this boat, the more I think about the Tally Ho project. Extremely meticulous work gives extremely good results. Best regards, luck and health in particular.

Fantastic, she’s looking amazing, I can’t wait for splash day. Much love from England

[@Coyotehello]

the cabin sole is beautiful. The head is beautiful. The boat is beautiful. It must be soooOoOo satisfying to see it all coming together!

[@ghrey8282]

You both seem happier. Great to see.

[@hecdc305]

It is a joy to see the beautiful work that you've done on the boat. Thanks for the video.

[@stevenschapera2888]

I can never get tired of watching artisans at work. Everything you guys do you do with excellence. It’s so inspiring.

[@tomblodgett7389]

You hear the phrase better than new, well your boat is the epitome of that phrase. No boat builder in the world could put as much quality in every detail as you guys have, they would go broke trying. Awesome work!! Cheers from Austin, TX

[@sail4life]

My feelings exactly!

[@BobJones-r6o]

It’s good to see the pretty stuff occurring.

[@rolanddunk5054]

Hi, i just love watching you as a team bringing MC II together enhancing her beauty👏👏.Cheers,Roly🇬🇧.

[@Jacob-W-5570]

Interesting how just that faucet already turns the workzone into a living zone. funny how the brain works. looking forward to next week!

[@richardkeen1996]

The standard of the work carried out by both of you is truly exceptional and a real pleasure to follow along and watch. Great stuff!!!

[@davidnichols147]

Aladino, your simply amazing! Love the new faucet, head, etc.. Best with the 8 week projection, you both deserve a perfect sea trial. Outstanding!

[@robbywittlin1631]

You both showed so much passion and resilience to get where you are today.... Ich ziehe meinen Hut!

[@watchful1168]

8 weeks?? Poor dears! Such a beautiful vessel...and it is wonderful to watch you employ your skills...craftspeople!

[@jfv65]

That floor gives real RIVA vibes. Very classy.

[@hansgorcumvan5390]

What a lot of work you’ve done. The boat looks absolutely amazing.

[@Paul.Chaffey]

She's looking good guys. A very high quality build.

[@rickshick8544]

Thank both of you. My Friday is complete! Sock-only Zone, I love it.That splash is going to be epic.

[@mikeridgway4439]

If you could, how long did it take Alidino to cover those through holes and the holes he cut into the bulkheads with a fresh coat of paint? I'm going to guess, not very long! Great to see you inching that much closer to your sea trials. We are all looking forward to seeing the joy in your eyes when you're finally able to launch Magic Carpet II and get to spend that first night aboard unencumbered by the constraints of land!

[@Wauquiez48Pilot]

Really great to hear the palpable excitement and lightness in your voices. Sounds like the vision is being restored. What is amazing is the discipline to keep doing everything as perfectly as possible throughout the dark days between the excitement of purchase and the excitement of seeing the end in sight 🎉 One more thing, I am no stranger to varnishing , but the finish you guys get, seemingly blemish and dust free is staggering. So many congrats in those wonderful floor boards- wow I am jealous!!!! 👌

[@StephenStock-t3m]

Really great progress you two. I sense your mood elevation as things progress toward the finish line. Thanks for sharing your journey.

[@clarisd]

It's so exciting. Watching the dreams you guys are making the reality of your home for the seven seas. Warm, lovely, and matching your personalities ❤️

[@herbhunt4110]

You might want to consider applying UHMW-PE tape to your anchor chain slide. It would greatly reduce friction allowing the chain to slide more easily, is very abrasion resistant too and of course can be sacrificial (removed and replaced more easily than paint). Just thought I would mention it as not many are aware of the material. Tape comes in many widths I use some 6” wide to provide chafe resistance.

[@Chr.U.Cas1622]

👍👌👏 2) Not much more to say than: Extremely meticulous work gives extremely good results! Congratulations 🎉 to both of you. The more finished gorgeous wood I see on and especially in this boat, the more I like it. You two are really going above and beyond. By the way: I can't get my head around tge fact how much better the floor boards are looking with this satin varnish instead of glossy. Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing. Best regards luck and especially health to both of you. Post Scriptum: Oh WOW! That's what I call a faucet!

[@jimff5]

MC2 is really beautiful, I should'nt be surprised that it is turning out even better than I expected!

[@cutaway7405]

Your boat IS A WORK of ART!! All the Time, Energy, and Work you've done over the last 4 years has Totally been Worth it!! Excellent, Excellent, Excellent Job!! Well Done You!!🎉❤😊

[@jb9090]

It’s hard to image the sacrifice and hard work that you’ve done to create your new home and vessel for exploration. I get discouraged when I lose a weekend to boat work instead of being out on the water. But I’m not going to be living in it one day (just a fishing boat). I work a day job so weekends are sacred…. I hope that you’ll look back and know that all the hard work and sacrifice was worth it 👍🏼

[@jaktar58]

Great place for the tap (faucet). People wont grab it if the boat suddenly rolls. Great work kids!!!!!

[@vivanasperen3339]

One think I love love love about your boat is how every surface is beautiful clean and easily washed. It’s a beautiful space from top down. Water splash is coming my dear!

[@echothegoodwolf]

She is so beautiful! Each of the finishing touches coming together are just lovely! You guys are so close to finally having the home and the adventures you’ve been working so hard for!

[@4437RR]

Perfect! Again! Onward and upward!

[@sailingheretic]

Wow, everything is so impressive; well done you two. I also think it’s über-cute that Aladino has subtly adopted the “Maya-Canadian” pronunciation of English words. 🙂

[@ianlangley987]

Magic Carpet 3 is coming along soooooooo good, well done. Your choice of the galley faucette is great and I love the way the radius of it matches the curves of the bulkhead forward of it. Well chosen. What can I say about the varnish work - fantastic is the word that comes to mind. Cheers Ian

[@Valerie_Dawn]

This is Magic Carpet 2.

Each of these jobs is a massive piece of work. It is almost impossible to imagine retro-fitting the interior of a yacht.

An anchoring story: 'Skipper, it's freshening.' 'Yeah, go pay out some more anchor chain!' 'All right skipper; 40 fathoms, 50, 60, last shackle.'😹 Earnestly however, do connect the anchor chain to the boat! However, use a short rope end which you can cut, should you ever need to cut loose from your anchor in a hurry!

[@GodschildinNC]

Love the work that you do! She is coming together so nicely! Watching you makes me think that I could do the same, but as a carpenter the lack of square and flat is crazy. Love the work and can't wait to see it wet, at least on the outside.

[@billhamilton319]

Kudos to you both for persevering through this project! There are so many abandoned dreams in boatyards but yours isn’t going to be one of them. I’m looking forward to the splash.

Also thank you so much for your terrific choices in background music. Your ability to match the moods of your work with sounds that fit as perfectly as Aladino's many projects always pleases and often amazes.

[@laurahayes7722]

The boat looks gorgeous! Did you two go into detail about why you chose a composting toilet? It seems like so much work to deal with when you could have a pump/ flush toilet? I am guessing you didn’t want to cut holes in the boat to deal but have no clue really? So happy for you both! 🥰🤩🥰

The boat looks incredible! Maya, Aladino...I just joined Patreon to send you a private message regarding some supplies we have on hand. I'm not 100% certain I set Patreon up correctly for messages. If you don't see it, please let me know.

[@Cptnbond]

Here is a small tip for the screws on the stem protection. Please ensure that the ones near the water line have plenty of fiberglass on the inside. I almost sank my boat after buying a used boat, and the previous owner had lost the bolt and painted over the tiny hole. One night, after sleeping in the v-berth, water was seeping in at the bow. Luckily, the boat had a half height bulkhead aft of the leak, and it was full of water. With this tiny hole, the boat may have sunk if I was not onboard. Cheers.

[@namastenicholas]

I am happy to see Maya back in the video. Hope this will continue.

[@Tomm9y]

I love the interior varnishing, I hope it helps you keep appreciating the work you have done. I am curious how well sealed the anchor chain will be at deck level, it's important to be able to stop greenwater from getting in, perhaps you will seal the top of the chain locker and mostley use inspection hatches. Don't forget that chain accumulates mud, sand and rust, however much you try to clean it. Check your drain & pump(s) allow for those inevitable factors! I would protect the floor with a soft material covered with plywood, it would make it easier to work on the boat.

[@chrisfrench8323]

The sole looks amazing!

[@manfredolson6889]

I was just typing in about the need for some new pants.. when Maya said something. Looks like my revelations are not so difficult to come by:)

[@ianmackenzie9172]

Hey Guys, a suggestion for your shower outlet…instead of another skin fitting for it, fit it a Y-valve on your sink drain … works well on my 46’ yacht and one less skin fitting…

[@ianmackenzie9172]

Floor protection for that beautiful teak and holly sole… a sheet 8’x4’ lightweight and cheap corflute cut to shape and taped in place prevents unintentional damage from a dropped object…

[@everettrowingnightcrew690]

Absolutely stunning work!

[@d14551]

Aladino's panta are an inverse of the boat. The nicer the pants look, the worse the boat looks. The nicer the boat gets, the worse the pants looks.

[@waynerudiger1756]

It's fun to reflect back to the days when you basically had an empty shell and were discussing layout options, especially for the head. And now you have a space quickly coming together that's"surprisingly large" and of course beautiful. One question - what's going on with the cracking in the chain locker next to the drain? It looks like extra resin that shrunk and can be easily repaired but it looks so out of place on this jewel of a boat that I had to ask.
