The quality of your videos has always been great, now they are greater with the addition of your First Mate!!! A woman's touch
Got to love this couples skills, so SPIFFY! I have watched every single episode. Love the channel.
The addition of Ava to Sail Life really has brought a whole new wonderful aspect to it; making is a lot more rounded.
I used to watch this channel religiously when I was younger and I only recently found it again, glad to see that you are making so much progress since I last seen
Danish Mads needs to put some Danish oil on his iroko :)
Thank you for bringing your joy and creativity into my Sunday. Ah yes cruising, also known as "working on your boat in exotic ports".
Companion way +100% Spiffy-points for sure! Neat job on the anti-rattle Ava!
Best sailing couple ever!
Watching the intro part it kinda dawns on me that there are ALOT of work going into these videos; closeup shots, drone shots, music etc. Thankyou for making such enjoyable videos ....every week.
You guys are hitting your groove. Loved this video. Loved how you slowed down the fast forward of the work being done. Loved Avas parts. Loved the walk. Well done. So excited for you two. 😍
Your woodworking skills are "Mads", you did a great job on the companion way as well as all the other trim work, it looks incredible. Ava, what can I say, your spice rack project is spot on, that was absolutely a great way to protect all the spice bottles. You guys sure make a lovely couple! Until next week, Sea U! P.S. Happy Birthday Mads!
Very Spiffy Love it
Nice seeing the boat get finished off , the odds and ends list is shrinking . Great video again thanks
The second Ava mentioned rattling glass, I was thinking felt was the solution. Thinking alike!
I see Ava is still learning the metric system. Five millimeters... Pff! She'll get there eventually.
Everything is bigger across the pond - even millimetres 🤣
Came here to say that LOL 5cm != 5mm
Finger remover 2000! I love your sense of humour!!
That wood work turned out fan-freaking-tastic, amazing how much that changed the appearance.
As usual, edutainment and warmth. Best channel for inspiration! 🎉💯🤙🏽🍻
'Not super cold, only -2°C'. Spoken like a true Dane!
You two are so spiffy.
Happy Birthday Mads !! And hope the wedding in Denmark goes off with a “hitch”. Sea Yoo !!
Ava, here's a tip from Australia for getting to grips with metric measurements. In building construction here, we don't bother with centimetres, or that weird decimetres thingy that Europeans love to use, or even metres. We refer to ALL measurements in millimetres. Thus, the 5cm width you got wrong would be 50mm, a standard door would be 820mm wide, and 2 metres, 53cm would be 2530mm. Saves a whole lot of confusion!
If I am doing large measurements I often mix them deliberately - for example 6 foot and 10 mm. 🤣
@@--2442 I agree.. but when verbally communicating a measurement to another person, it eliminates any chance of mis-hearing the units being used. Love the bananas thing!
Great video. Filming that walk really added allot of steps to setup those tripod shots. Thanks for the extra work, it looked good.
Companionway looks excellent. Nice work.
Stay healthy and we'll see you next week.
It was great seeing Mads out having a walk!
Allow me to compliment you on the companionway doors....they look great. Through the years I've built numerous companionway doors for various sailboat designs including Island Packet, Pearson, Irwin, Hunter, Tartan and many others, using either teak or Starboard per the customer's request. If I may, allow me to make a suggestion-on the outside of the "last to close door" add another piece of trim to cover the exposed gap between the two doors when they're closed. That way there will be seals on both the inside and outside, providing additional weather proofing. What I've learned through the years is once companionway doors are installed, boatowners love them so much they leave them in all the time, forgetting about the washboards. I have doors on my Beneteau that I made from Starboard and they're only removed when racing.
Also, that trim piece will hide the gap. The gap will quickly become imperfect, so hiding it is good.
Another great video Mads and Ava .
Beautiful woodwork on the companionway, etc.! I like Ava's spice shelf too. You two are a great team :)
James is Very handsome. Would love his woodworking channel ;)
Happy Birthday Mads!! After watching the entire evolution of your DIY skills, I am convinced there’s nothing you can’t do. And Ava is such a welcome addition as well. I’m pretty sure she’s going to be able to do anything on Athena too!
You guys are so happy! It is wonderful to see.
Happy Birthday Mads!
And busy getting married next week. Best wishes from the crew of Wave Dancer
Nice work peeps! Chichester and the harbour are my parents’ side of the woods! Good memories from our visits.
What's this "Good Morning" business!!! Where's my "Hi guys"!?!?!?!
Ava, 5mm? Are you sure it's not 5cm? And great work both of you. I wait all week for this. Best to you both.
Ava is so cute when she gets metric measurements mixed up!
We want more DIY fun!
Looking very Spiffy indeed.
Mads and Ava ,the boat is absolutely beautiful. You two compliment each other perfectly and it's wonderful watching you holding hands an seeing the love and affection you have for each other. The only negative thing is I wish the videos were a little longer. I enjoy watching them every week and they are the best ones on u tube .
Thankyou for allowing me to be able to enjoy your life togeather.
God bless,stay safe and life time of happiness for you .
I really like your companion way doors. I'm adding them to my project list for my Catalina.
Happy birthday wishes Mads. Hopefully you enjoy your celebrations
I see Ava likes a good pair of Tasmanian boots. I’m sure you would both also like the wonderful sailing down this way. Hope to see you down here.
Madds, just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate your attention to detail with your wood working... I know its very self satisfying but there are a few of us "Boat Renovators" who truly love your workmanship! It inspires us to try and do the same....
Love the finger decapitator 2000!
Happy Birthday Madds!
I have watched you since your first vid on Obelix. If you ever get tired of Sail Life, Mads, your next channel should be Pimp My Boat.
Your skill as a wood worker is only surpassed by your ability to explain how and why you are doing it. Thank you for making my Sunday nights a lot more fun.
I’ve been watching for a little more than a year I believe and I’m thoroughly enjoying your adventure. Terri and I had this dream 35 years ago but unfortunately it was never realized. Your work is inspirational. Positive vibes for you two.
My Sunday isn't complete til I hear your voices!!! I love the new doors! An that spice rack is the Bugatti of all spice racks... Love it... Guys Athena is really looking beautiful... You've built a beautiful home .. a sailing beautiful home!!! ✌🏼💗😊❣️
Finger decapinator 2000. LOL! Oh Mads, never change.
Very cool ant-rattling spice rack doo-hicky.
Lovely job on the companionway doors, what a difference!
Never really saw either of you two as having feet of clay, but hey, anyone can have an off day.
Can’t beat a decent pair of wellies for taking on the UK in the winter months. My personal preference are MuckBoot “Chores” for a serious sole and really good insulation. They’re dead comfy and having warm, dry, feet has transformed my working day on the farm. Not the cheapest but far from the most expensive out there.
Cheers from Cornwall, R.
😎👍🍻
As far as the spices go
Just put two rubber bands on the jars no more rattle 😁
That goes for all jars and bottles pan's to just don't forget to take them off before cooking 🇳🇱🏴☠️
watching Ava make that pocket doohickey was absolutely fascinating. epoxy and woodwork are in my wheelhouse but sewing is an arcane skill i just dont get. neato!
Super spiffy trim Mads. Can't wait for James to get his RUclips channel up and running, I love watching craftsmen create. Thanks for sharing.
Great job! 2 fantasic crafts people!
I hope next video we get some glorious sanding.
Fingerdecapitor 2000... love it
I am really enjoying watching Ava's skills and abilities grow! Way to go Ava!
Hi Mads and Ava that lock and canal you walked over was part of the old London to Portsmouth canal system, it was much used until they invented the railway!
Actually it was Chichester to Arundel and the aspiration of connecting to London never ever came to fruition. The Chichester canal actually had a short commercial life of only 25 years (1822-1847), it had a later brief resurrection for commercial traffic under the Corporation of Chichester 1898 - 1906.
Kudos to James!
James MVP
The website is really spiffy! Good job guys!
Ava lives! Great video as always, hope you are doing well.
happy birthday mads and have a wonderful wedding day
Looking very smart. Can’t believe you didn’t show a bit of film of Birdham marina, the oldest in the U.K. a true gem. Must admit I thought you had fitted an AIS but maybe you just bought it and hadn’t yet fitted. Sorry to miss you guys in Chichester. Andy UK
"finger decapitator two-thousand" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤞
Ava your crafting skills are great! Happy Birthday Maas!
Go the Blundstones!.
centimeter, love you guys.
Outstanding- well done to you both - Regards Australia
The companion way look terrific...and it's not even finished. I also can't believe the production quality you put out as a one (now two) person crew. I've watched PBS shows that aren't done this well. (PBS is like BBC for the US).
Can we talk about that hap hazard mouse placement? XD
Thanks for sharing you too and good luck next week
serious spicerack envy !!
Fantastic anti rattle project
Just checked out the website. It looks great. Another excellent job. All the best from 🇨🇦
Great outing. I forgot how beautiful the English countryside is. Thanks!
Ava the inventor!
I just find myself smiling, that I have enjoyed this channel so much and it is for the very spiffy indeed! Also the spice track solution is also washable!!! Lovely that you're sharing your epic rebuild and your travels
Hi guys. I was so pleased to watch this video. There was even a little glorious sanding.
Spiffylicious Mads...entertainment delight !!!
Wow,that sawing thing made my head hurt,next level work right there!🌞
Enough bottles for every spice that exist. Spice museum
Companionway would of been my first spiffy. LOL Great Job!
Mads, if you ever run out of work, perhaps you could show us how you keep the chisels and blades so sharp?
Very slick video , well done 👍
That felt spice bottle separator is impressive af. Couldn't figure out how you sewed it together until you explained!
Ava, really nice job on the web site, Nice simple layout and always easy to return to home page... I have been doing web pages for over thirty years and get really irritated with all the pop ups and over lays that most people build...
LOVE YOU GUYS
Nice work, both of you.
Enjoy watching you every week, I get so involved in your videos that I forget to leave a message. In short I enjoy you both, you seem to work well with each other.
Fantastic work on those doors Mads and the spice rack liners are genius Ava. Athena is getting closer to being a finished home for you two. While you are in Britain, you try to connect up with Kika and Dan of Uma. It would be fun to see the four of you interact and swap refitting stories. Take care, stay well and have a spiffy week ahead.
What a cracking couple of people! So clever and totally amiable.
Great video you two! Thanks!
The Perspex on the companion way doors will need some tint, you'd be amazed how hot it will get being clear. Maybe some standard film will do the trick, I use a deep bronze color on my home windows and tried on a customer boat, it cut the surface temp of the port light (measured from the inside with an infrared thermometer) by 20 degrees.
I think that the windows could have been built into the doors as easily removable insets and with screens built into the outside. The screens would act as sun protection/tint and allow for ventilation when the windows were snapped out.
I suppose Mads could make a framed screen that could slide right into the washboard slots for keeping the bugs out.
When & if they ever make it to the USA they will encounter noseeums in Florida, the Bahamas, and much of the Caribean. Also biting flies and mosquitoes. Apparently they dont have bugs in Europe because few Euro-made boats come with screens.
Without screening in the Americas a boat will be miserable being either too hot or infested every day with the irritating biting bugs. We close up every afternoon where we are in Florida about an hour or so before sunset and make sure all the screens on the boat are secure. It is too hot even in the winter most nights not to have screens -especially in the companionway for proper through-boat ventilation.
Cool to see you holding hands on walk. Live. Love. Learn.
It's more fun when Ava says 'bung'.
I would have just used felt chair leg pads on the bottles...but...I mean...the channel likes very spiffy solutions.
Thanks for the bung placement info. I need to tighten up the grab handle on companion way
