Thank you so much for encouragement about the music. It just fills my heart with joy to be back playing again. Balance is definitely getting restored in our lives. If you're interested in hearing this song again, I'd be honoured if you searched for it on whatever streaming platform you usually use. Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, whatever. The title is "Dance Me" and the artist is "Maya Eliza." Or, if you use Spotify, you can just click this link: open.spotify.com/track/0XElshUmZNSe1EfHWfhMr8?si=b1a43980bb5d4786
I have said it before, but I still believe that "Magic Carpet II" will be the best Cape George in existence. The tremendous amount of work and attention to detail is more and more evident. Soon she will be taking you out to play with the waves, making you the envy of the sailing world. Yes Maya's music is so enjoyable and relaxing, and for me mesmerizing.
You need to add a scupper aft. Rain will collect under that aft section and when on the hard would collect and stagnate without proper drainage. Unless you are a boat owner you really can’t appreciate the pain of standing water over time.
Thanks for sharing your journey every week. I like the way of your storytelling a lot, no drama (not more than necessary) and beautiful music. I appreciate beauty of boat building you both are showing a lot. Thanks!
The beauty of each step of MC's restoration is beyond description in words...she just grows in magnificence each day...I cannot begin to comprehend your love and pride in this monumental endeavor. You both deserve to accept all accolades for believing in and achieving the dream you set out to make happen. I am in awe of you both and have been blessed to have found your channel. I hope to experience the culmination of this dream with you when she is launched and your new dreams begin ❤...God's blessing be with you. Mary Claesson
As a wood worker myself I just have to say I love the warmth of the wood and how comfortable the interior of your boat looks. Really will be a beautiful boat. When you get up in the morning after a good nights sleep and look at everything you will say it was so worth the blood, sweat, and tears!
Some might say that the cabinets make the space too dark and claustrophobic. I strongly disagree. They are beautiful, as beautiful as the work of Vermont furniture builders. I love those cabinets, and so functional also for that space.
I have to say I can’t do woodwork but what you’ve done with your watercraft is art on a level above anything I’ve seen on water craft I have seen. The exterior is so simple and clean it can’t help to be an efficient sailboat. Congrats.
MC II is getting more and more beautiful every week. The woods are gorgeous and as bulkheads and ceiling are white, the global ambience is still bright, which is great to feel good, in my opinion. This refit has been a long term work but it was definitely worth it 👍
Love the excellent craftsmanship in a world that just bangs stuff out. There's no other way to achieve such warmth and beauty. The same thing is true of Maya's music which I love as much as the craftsmanship. So beautiful! Thank you!
Love 'Dance me'! It's part jazz, part narrative, part r&b, but the minors give it a melancholy feel. It's as if you are wondering about life without boat work! And you look soooo much happier.
Great to have Maya share her passion in music as we witness her willingness to perform the otherworldly chores associated with transforming Magic Carpet with Alidono
Maya! Your music is always from the heart. Written and performed from the heart. And the smile on your face when you said, “However…”was gorgeous. What followed was magic. Thank you! The interior of the boat is beautiful. All that gorgeous wood. It looks very warm and cozy. A very nice, snug home for you and Aladino.
Its all so beautiful…the love of details, the commitment to the mutuality of tasks, the communication with us viewers and the integration of the music. Dreams riding on a magic carpet …..🎉
DITTO I feel the same way as many , or all of others that commented. The boat is a work of art! The music is very soothing also. I thought of the sound the water might make when it slams into the end of the coming, I might be worrying about nothing. A floating museum in progress!
Maya playing her violin is integral to my enjoyment of this channel. Of course I appreciate Aladino’s mastery of boat building and the aesthetics of a beautiful older boat but it is the music that provides the magic in magic carpet II
I love finding Sailing Magic Carpet in my feed every Friday! I love it even more when Maya is playing ! Love your Music! It was a great idea to layer that with your boat work! I have to watch it twice. Once not to miss anything you have filmed and again with my eyes closed listening to a piece of Heaven!!!! Thank you for all you both do! Magic Carpet II is coming along nicely !!!
Really nice to see you both much happier. Indeed a rare and beautiful thing today. You are really a breath of fresh air. Thank you. Oh and the music wonderfull. Your's from across the pond UK Ken
Wow just wow !!! I’ve been subscribed to and watching your channel for a couple of years now. I’ve always been greatly interested in the attention to detail that Aledino goes to with his work and your support of the project and whilst I have been aware of your musical abilities, these last two videos musical accompaniments really are sublime especially this one there’s some much feeling to it which I can’t help but think is driven by the project and the trial’s tribulations and frustrations it has bought to you both. I’m so glad your nearing the end of the refit and sincerely look forward to future videos of you both enjoying the fruits of your endeavours accompanied with more great fiddle xxxx
Maya, Huge high five for all your tenacity and artistry! Just remember, patina, scratches, flat notes, are all part of learning and signs of a well lived life where we take risks and try new things! Well done from a fellow sailor and aspiring musician.
I love your music, Maya.. And the boat is such a dream of a boat. It is wonderful to see how it completes more and more. All this wonderful craftsmanship from both of you. And Aladino is a real master of a boat builder, wow... I've learned so much by watching your channel. The trick with the little plastic box is again something, I will use. Thank you for sharing! Greetings from Lower Saxony, Germany...
One thing that makes me wonder about the state of things are how insanely focused on getting all the tiny details just right to make the result end up being perfect or close to it. Seeing such dedication to the details is something I have rarely seen and I'm half a century old. I always knew that this focus was out there in the world, but in the country where I live such wonderful focus is something that never happen. Here it's about getting thing right as fast as possible and as long as it's okay it's fine. Later in life I realized the issue is deep inside the core skills and how you were taught to do them, my grandfather was a furniture maker and not even he had your focus to make the details perfect, but he was close. The generations after that, sucks to be honest and most work done, is of shoddy quality at best and barely past an okay standard. It's sad to see, but it's also why it's so wonderful to see you work hard to get it perfect, even if it takes tons more work. We need more of such inspiring work, so maybe people will learn that it's good to work at being better and getting it right during the first attempt, if they only slow down a little bit.
The boat is getting along nicely. One day she will be an eyecatcher. And Maya, loved Dance Me. As a guitarist I did try to compose music and the comments were: "It's Gaelic". I feel the same about your music. Luve it!
I really like that you are creating your own sound track to your work videos. I am both a woodworker and musician so it’s a win win. . I hope you continue doing music when you start sailing. I envision making music with folks you meet, like way back in Sweden. A soundtrack of wonderful music from all over the world.
Great episode .. of course they have all been extradinary in there own right. Maya, your joy now shows while doing both boat work (which you are doing a splendid job on) and certainly with your music, which is always and awesome presentation.. Great selection. Aladino, there are just no words to express the meticulous job you are doing, refitting Magic Carpet 2. It never ceases to amaze me, the patience you have for making everything you attack just perfect. When the time arrives, It will great to be able to watch the two of you enjoying your home on the water.
The addition of beautiful music and ethereal singing to go with the sanding of the dresser made it seem almost poetic ( which I am sure it wasn't). Does look so much better now. All so worth it. She is going to be a real beauty this little ship. You two remind me of how Lyn and Larry Psrdy treated gheir beautiful wooden boat. Love and dedication and attention to detail. Tv 😊😊😊
Stunning boatwork ,Stunning interior ,Stunning music, boat is a work of craftmanship cant wait to see you guys under full sails cheers from Australia !!
Ich bin immer wieder begeistert, dass ihr bei all der Arbeit nie den Selbstschutz vergesst. Man sieht euch immer mit Gehörschutz und Atemschutz. Vorbildlich! Bin ein großer Fan von euch!
Sencillamente me encanta como Aladín tiene todos los gatos/sargentas puestas en un travesaño. Really nice song Maya, a lovely contrast between the hamering MIDI and the organic violin. The two sides of Maya that we have seen all along this project (and even before) in just one song. Marvelous, period.
Wow....just wow!!! This channel is one of the most satisfying channels on youtube IMO. With a love of sailing, projects and beautiful music by talented and creative musicians, to me, it checks all the boxes. Maya and Dino, you are both beautiful people, inside and out and I look forward to every single episode you two put out. I'm really surprised that you guys don't have millions of followers. If you don't think your content is not that successful, well then you are only looking at the destination and not the journey, because to me, your destination "IS" the journey. 😺
i am loving the woodwork in its orange and reds, its really popping in colour and depth, it comes across in the film very well, absolutely glorious and so well worth all the effort gone into it - i think most of my life at some point or another i have been surrounded by poor furniture, old, beaten and dark in colour, a boat like this deserves such high quality colourful furniture, great work Maya i am loving the designs for the upper cockpit combings, i guess there is some kind of drainage at the rear end where it meets the edge of the hull/footrail - i wondered how you might finish off the top thinking of water following the deck down the sides to the cockpit, its going to be a wonderful functional piece of furniture and look great, i wondered if you might add a little flare on that upper piece to roll off the rear end over the side, like a curl, that would be very creative and become a feature can't wait to see that finished
Great video you guys....starting to look like there is an end in site....beautiful workmanship every where....Maya it's nice to see you back in the groove again ...Thank You
maya your violin playing devine....a geniune talant....between maya and her violin skills and aladino with his boat building skills we are spoilt for sure regards gary
I love your music! I just purchased "Dance Me." I am looking forward to you both getting back to sailing. I enjoy the building process because you both do such great work.
Refurbish, you say? Aladino, you've rebuilt this beautiful lady. Take credit when it is due. Not to mention the support of the lovely Maya. My heart wishes only wonderful things for you both.

I absolutely love this song. Wow! The fairies dance when you play!
Love that you are finding balance. Beautiful songs. I cannot find them on YT music though. Only 5 of your songs are there.
Yes I have added your musical pieces to my playlusts on Spotify, and also following Maya Eliza.
I’m happy to have Maya and her sister back playing beautiful music. The boat is coming along beautifully thanks to both of your skilled work.
I have said it before, but I still believe that "Magic Carpet II" will be the best Cape George in existence. The tremendous amount of work and attention to detail is more and more evident. Soon she will be taking you out to play with the waves, making you the envy of the sailing world. Yes Maya's music is so enjoyable and relaxing, and for me mesmerizing.
Couldn't agree more!
You need to add a scupper aft. Rain will collect under that aft section and when on the hard would collect and stagnate without proper drainage. Unless you are a boat owner you really can’t appreciate the pain of standing water over time.
I’m really enjoying the updated format of Maya performing while still showing work on the boat. It strikes a happy balance.
Between the craftsmanship and the music it is indeed
“magic”
Thanks for sharing your journey every week. I like the way of your storytelling a lot, no drama (not more than necessary) and beautiful music. I appreciate beauty of boat building you both are showing a lot. Thanks!
Maya, I am so glad to see and hear you preforming on the violin again. You are both artists at what you do….
The beauty of each step of MC's restoration is beyond description in words...she just grows in magnificence each day...I cannot begin to comprehend your love and pride in this monumental endeavor.

Some might say that the cabinets make the space too dark and claustrophobic. I strongly disagree. They are beautiful, as beautiful as the work of Vermont furniture builders. I love those cabinets, and so functional also for that space.
There is something about wood that bring you close to creation. Paint it and its claustrophobic..
I have to say I can’t do woodwork but what you’ve done with your watercraft is art on a level above anything I’ve seen on water craft I have seen. The exterior is so simple and clean it can’t help to be an efficient sailboat. Congrats.
Have you noticed the shape of the combing resembles the sweep of a treble clef? How appropriate, a nod to the wonderful music you make.
MC II is getting more and more beautiful every week. The woods are gorgeous and as bulkheads and ceiling are white, the global ambience is still bright, which is great to feel good, in my opinion.
This refit has been a long term work but it was definitely worth it 👍
AH, the twins, a joy to my ears and eyes.
All is coming along really beautifully.
Totally
Love the excellent craftsmanship in a world that just bangs stuff out. There's no other way to achieve such warmth and beauty. The same thing is true of Maya's music which I love as much as the craftsmanship. So beautiful! Thank you!
Love 'Dance me'! It's part jazz, part narrative, part r&b, but the minors give it a melancholy feel. It's as if you are wondering about life without boat work! And you look soooo much happier.
A music genius and a boat building genius. What a rare strange combination. We love it!
Great to have Maya share her passion in music as we witness her willingness to perform the otherworldly chores associated with transforming Magic Carpet with Alidono

So amazing to see the details of how you got to where you are now! Beautiful updates and beautiful song!
Thanks Allen :) And thanks for all your help!

Beautiful musical accompaniment to the video
Agreed. Maya makes some of the best soundtracks on RUclips.
Thank you so much
Wonderfully mellow and clearly from the heart.
a spotify playlist with the featured music used on the videos would be awesome!@@Stupha_Kinpendous
I love the haunting nature of the music...well done!
Thank you!!
Maya, Huge high five for all your tenacity and artistry! Just remember, patina, scratches, flat notes, are all part of learning and signs of a well lived life where we take risks and try new things! Well done from a fellow sailor and aspiring musician.
Getting back to your music has definitely brought you into balance. You glow! Thanks...

Yay. More music. I love it! The workmanship you two are putting into this boat is just captivating.
Excellent interior music from your boat.... thank you to spread it out to all us.... thanks a lot..!!
The music of Maya Eliza is something you would hear drifting across the playa at Burning Man during a dust storm.
What a wonderful episode, really enjoyed "Dance Me", thank you Maya for a great performance! Playing you now, on Spotify ;)
Finally, friday again! Your videos are always something to look forward to for the entire week and you never disappoint.
Wow, Matthias you have no idea how much we appreciate that. THANK YOU.
The boat is getting along nicely. One day she will be an eyecatcher. And Maya, loved Dance Me. As a guitarist I did try to compose music and the comments were: "It's Gaelic". I feel the same about your music. Luve it!
Thanks for letting us join you on your way towards one of your life dreams.
Thank you also for the nice music/work mix you´ve made.
Maya, I love your music composition this week, having all the different mediums. It’s a beautiful song.
I really like that you are creating your own sound track to your work videos. I am both a woodworker and musician so it’s a win win. . I hope you continue doing music when you start sailing. I envision making music with folks you meet, like way back in Sweden. A soundtrack of wonderful music from all over the world.
Just loved the music and the song: it really touches the heart!! The rest goes without saying: so much care and skill involved. Thank you.
Thank you, Maya.

Maya has her groove back! Such fun videos the last few. Visible progress is such an inspiration for you guys.
Love the plastic box for lining up the drill.
Learn something new everyday. Gary in Japan
That was a lovely episode 👊🏻
Love the shape of the coamings! So great to see and hear Maya's music. I could listen to that all day!
It's all coming together, great job. And, Many Mayas is always a treat!
Hay Maya love the Music you playing and the Sailboat is coming long great!!!! Love the Video.Brent Gordon of Canada.🙂🌷⛵🎶🎻🎹
Thank you for the soothing music sooo talented!!! And for keeping this channel clean and amazing to watch.
Glad to see balance ❤ beautiful work from both of your efforts. Your own music always brings good feelings.

Lovely work, as always, Maya and Dino. And so good to hear you say (sort of), that "old" isn't necessarily bad. Coming from an "old man" . . .
Selling your music, particularly original music, is a pleasant change from the t-shirt so many utube channels push
Your videos are always delightful & beautiful.
Thank you for adding the music, Maya.
Great attention to detail producing quality results - still can't wait until the launch and the further adventures. 🙂
Wow....just wow!!! This channel is one of the most satisfying channels on youtube IMO.

Song was great !!! Both of you are great at your many talents.great video!! Boat is looking fantastic!!
Fair winds

Outstanding boatbuilding progress ... and such wonderful music!
Loved the performance Maya.
Loving multiplying Mayas!
Great video you guys....starting to look like there is an end in site....beautiful workmanship every where....Maya it's nice to see you back in the groove again ...Thank You
Well done. Although you are doing three things at once. I enjoy your music and emphasis on beauty and balance.
Beautiful music! Wonderful varnish work and expert boat work!
The open layout aft deck design is a big improvement, well worth the effort that want into re shaping the woodwork.
And I’m really enjoying your music, Maya.
Very nice listening, great relaxing music, I loved it. Thank you. Beautiful boat. ❤ 😊
HAPPY FRIDAY! I am so glad seeing both of you enjoying yourselves. Thank you for sharing.
Great music
Great workmanship
Beautiful boat ..
Love the satin finish on those cabinets. So warm and comforting.
Raising W/L smart , drill jig brilliant, thanks, & music as always a pleasure …
Beautiful work guys, to perfection as usual. Passion!
I’ve always loved the music! So great to hear a new piece. Thanks
Love the Music and the work done!!! Artistry in every way....Well Done.
Both of you in your happy places! Such a good video in every way! Getting closer!
Beautiful woodwork, beautiful music, beautiful boat!

I simply LOVE the woodwork!
Very soothing music, I had a rough day and watching the work on ‘Carpet’ with the music helped me relax. Thank You
"encouragement about the music" Good to hear your passion.
I love your music! I just purchased "Dance Me." I am looking forward to you both getting back to sailing. I enjoy the building process because you both do such great work.
Fine work, dedicated people and very good music👏
Love music sounds sort of bluesy jazzy or jazzy bluesy to me. I don’t know if that was your intention but love it ❤❤❤❤.
Outstanding job with outstanding finish..
Handrails are beautiful Maya. Great job!
Great fun ! Thanks
You play so well!! Love hearing you!!!
Again a great melody!
Lovely work....a bit of old East Europe in stye...!
Well done clip as usual!
loved you playing music with a montage of work.. lovely
What amazing artists you both are.
Dance Me is beautiful…a fav! Boat is progressing…congrats 🇨🇦 ❤
Refurbish, you say?
Aladino, you've rebuilt this beautiful lady. Take credit when it is due.
Not to mention the support of the lovely Maya.
My heart wishes only wonderful things for you both.
A wonderful tribute by Aladino to Maja by replicating the violins f holes in the design of the cockpit. Exceptional!
