Top 10 signs I’m watching way too much sail life 1. Anything tedious is now called a “fiddlely bits”. 2. Cleaning my house is now called “Oh glorious” cleaning. 3. I address my team at work with “The astute among you” will have noted ... 4. I’ve started calling Insulation ... “inCHulation”. 5. I accidentally called my own dog jokull. 😬 6. Every completed project is followed with a “Tadaa”!! 7. I’ve started ending my phone calls with, that’s “Enough yammering on”. 8. I ask “the great hive mind” for advice. 9. I’ve started wearing colorful, pocket, short sleeve, colored, button downs. 10. “Pretty dang spiffy” is now the new work standard. I look forward to these videos all week!!
Since you don't have to report to a regular day job the amount of work you have accomplished has left me exhausted. Take pride in your project you deserve it!
Employee 1: "Hey how should we number this new version of Armaflex?" Employee 2: "Well is it expensive?" Employee 1: "It's expensive AF." Employee 2: "Ok, so hear me out...."
An other way to seal those portlights than butyl, is that normal household window soft rubber gasket tape available from any local hardware store. It will flex with the boat and is 100% water tight. And takes no time to change if ever required... just a tip...
We waited all week and before we know it, we are waiting for next week. Forgot to mention, we scored a Garmin chart plotter in the laundry recycling corner. This is a discontinued model and when I got it to fire up, I couldn't believe how good it was. So simple to get around the menus and operate. I'm officially cursing the stuff we have on board made by a guy called Ray.
She is looking great! The port light install came out amazing. I think it was worth the extra effort to put the wooden shim piece to keep the reveal uniform. I admire your commitment to details like that. I hope your dog is doing ok.
Mads, your skill as a finish woodworker is only exceeded by your drive for perfection. As a luthier, i spend hours getting seams to match and joints to appear seamless. You seem to do it with ease. Thank you for sharing your time and skills with us.
I know you haven’t shown your exact plans for enclosing the inverter, but just wanted to jump in and encourage you not to forget about air circulation. This may not be needed for northern latitudes, but when you venture south ventilation of the inverter will be important to keep it relatively cool and preserving its life-span.
@Robert Vial I like Ran as well. I also like the young couple on sailing magic carpet, shes canadian and hes swiss/italian. Closer to you is another couple with some phrases you might recognize, Free Range Sailing.
When your trim is too short, make the overlap at an angle. This way, no matter the movement you will never see a gap...if one long piece ends up being a bit of a pain to find. Keep up the hard work
So I just realized something. I missed last week's video. So I got a full hour of SailLife today. With the commercials, I got a TV show called the SailLife. Welcome to The Sail Life! Yeyyyyyy! It's time to play the music It's time to light the lights. It's time to meet Jokull on the SailLife Show tonight.
That curved bulkhead is a thing of beauty. Having watched the labor intensive process to make his idea of reality is a testament to this man's love for this boat.
Don't forget when sealing exposed wood from drilling you can also use thinned down epoxy to penetrate deeper before the thickened if you like to overkill like me . Great video buddy 👍
Hi , YOUR DOING A FINE JOB Mads , another 7 day week ? and all coming together in your ship shape manner . Stay calm and safe and carry on , thanks for the video .
I used the ArmaFlex AF everywhere on my boat and kept it visible. I can assure you that mold will never grow on top there, even if it is wet due to very high humidity. It's really great. the only thing rotting away in my aft cabin are my clothes :-D
Everything looks so good! And im so glad you finally fixed the area over the navstation because just like Ava i also thought that it was a real eye-sore. :)
Congratulations for the excellent work done. It’s really nice seeing you at daily basis doing your best for accomplishing the things to be done. Let’s wait for next week. Health and Peace from Rio de Janeiro Yacht Club.
I have watched from the beginning and all l can say is Athena is really looking great, congratulations on your commitment, dedication and patients over all this time. Your attention to detail, fit and finish is admirable Mads. Looking forward, as you are to the beginning of the sailing adventures.
Mads, here in Western Australia, we add a drop of black paint tint to any white can of paint to prevent yellowing. If getting our ceilings painted, we ask for WA White. It doesn’t change the colour, and is obvious if it isn’t done. Prior to my purchasing my home, someone patched 2sq m of the ceiling and used plain white. That yellowed significantly vs the rest of the ceiling. All the best. Loved all your videos since the beginning. ⛵️😊
I've said it before, but this episode further illustrates one of the key attractions of these wonderful videos.....outstanding editing!!! The information just rattles along but it makes perfect sense combined with the footage.
Mads, you need to wear a dust mask when you're cutting/routing/sanding wood, especially if it's MDF (composite). Also any time you mix West 406, as it's extremely dangerous to breath silica dust.
Ok ... favorite quote of the episode: " ... applying a little bit of thickened epoxy to my gloved finger and giving the hole a thorough probing" .... LOL
Thank you Mads for this week's video. A few small pieces of silver duct tape would fill in the gaps on the port light ring. Not permanent but good for filming-LOL. Take care and let us know how far the hole piece made it before you caught up to it.
Having worked in weather resistant structure techniques here in Seattle, field engineers wanted to see squeeze-out of sealants when we bedded windows. Butyl tape was reserved for sealing larger areas and flashings.
I visited a friend's Pearson 32 yesterday. He is in the process of changing all his port lights. I'm sure he will enjoy watching this video - I'll send him a link. As always, thanks Mads. Ron
We have portlights like those, they were installed in 1997 and are still in pristine condition. The Gebo after service is also very good in case you needed a part.
To avoid the orange peel effect, paint the first 2 layers with a glossy paint or varnish and end with the last layer with satin or mat finish. Perfect result guaranteed. cheers
I have a suggestion that might help your 'orange peeling'. When I'm working on my resin jewelry I use a Bic lighter, and go over all the resin, lightly, to get the air pockets out. It might work nice for you.
Not sure what editing software you use but divinci resolve 16 is free and is awesome. There are a lot of tutorials on it too. I switched from premier pro and I really love it. All the best and love the channel. From Halifax Nova Scotia Canada
orange peel effect appears when the paint is too cold when applied to the material. It worth putting the paint can to a bowl of hot water (the temperature of hot water you get from a household tap) before you start painting.
With the diesel and water deck fills , I've seen them done on the side of the cabin roof , preventing dirty water from entering the diesel and water tanks
We LOVE LOVE LOVE this sailing channel and watching SPIFFY!! ⚓⛵ Hubby and I eagerly wait for a new one to be uploaded every week!! You're episodes have given us so many handy tips and guidance with our very own boat build in South Australia :D I too find myself mimicking Mads with doohickeys, fiddlely bits and see yoooouuuu 👋 PS... everything I design & make at work that I love has to be ranked as ....spiffy!! Thanks for your awesome videos!! keep them coming xx Mel & Luke
Now that the cosmetics are progressing so rapidly, you should add a quick pan-view and recap at the end of your weekly installments. Looking GREAT !!! It's really coming together well.
We have a leaking Gebo portlight so I watched your video for any tips or tricks on your install. Was good to see the difference between the two portlights and your suggestion to use a little bit of sika on the screws. This was my first time watching one of your vids. Great job! Cheers ... Jen
Busy week! The Hempel paint is an oil based alkyd and the whites and lighter shades will yellow with time due to the oils present. An acrylic, water based, paint is preferred but nowhere near as easy to apply. Unless you go epoxy of course! Great video.
Coming along, in the videos we can really see the progress. About the upholstery are you going to attempt sewing to your portfolio of skills? If not you should start looking for a upholstery shop and check out their quality.
looks great Mads. "More than one way to swing a cat" so NO criticism here Mads, but I am 80% sure you can adjust the depth on that Trim Router.... no need to add material for right height of the surface.
We love your videos. You seem just like Teal on RUclips "On Board Life Style" out of Washington state. Your attention to detail is amazing!! Keep it coming!
Port-light frame with cut out for missing bulkhead.... I'm betting the one flaw on Athena right above the nav station is going to gnaw at you. So I'm starting a pool, "on which upcoming Sunday" will we see C&C action with a piece of aluminum for a new port-light frame?
Thanks for the lovely video as always, Mads and may your rendering be smooth (& just eat some popcorn with peanuts and m&m's while you wait-it does "sweeten the ordeal just a bit!).

Dang it. I use Mads words to much too!!! Mads, get out of my head!!
@@Brgnalf81 Seems many of us have developed the same problem.
That's a seriously spiffy comment 🧐🤣
Hilarious! 😂🤣😂
Just wait until you start demanding something skookumer than chinesium, for the dingle end of your bridgeport.

Mads' "frustrated Dane" voice is the funniest.

This may not be needed for northern latitudes, but when you venture south ventilation of the inverter will be important to keep it relatively cool and preserving its life-span.
Your workmanship is great! "And the humor...a piece of Athena has set sail." You have made amazing progress without that pesky day job:-)
Good MORNING guys look forward to it all week!
Thank you :D I'm glad you're enjoying the videos :)
Exactly that is the way it is, I fully agree with you 👍
@Robert Vial I like Ran as well. I also like the young couple on sailing magic carpet, shes canadian and hes swiss/italian. Closer to you is another couple with some phrases you might recognize, Free Range Sailing.
the vast majority of your woodworks is gorgeous. ...and then you cover it with white paint. I cry every time.
It looks so much better without the bulkhead cutting through the port light!
TefGel for the screws in the aft cabin port light. Will prevent galvanic corrosion between the aluminum frame and the stainless screws

Nice work as usual, bummer about that split frame. I lookd forward to seeing how you do the trim for below the deck in the galley.
So excited! I received my Hi guys! And Pretty dang spiffy stickers today. I love your channel and wish you continued success.
That curved bulkhead is a thing of beauty. Having watched the labor intensive process to make his idea of reality is a testament to this man's love for this boat.
Yeah, its a shame it had to be painted... all that work hidden.
Must say the white paint is definitely brightening up the interior. Looking spiffy!
Don't forget when sealing exposed wood from drilling you can also use thinned down epoxy to penetrate deeper before the thickened if you like to overkill like me . Great video buddy 👍
Hi , YOUR DOING A FINE JOB Mads , another 7 day week ? and all coming together in your ship shape manner . Stay calm and safe and carry on , thanks for the video .
Athena is really starting to look like a special lady. Your work is really paying off. Well Done.
I used the ArmaFlex AF everywhere on my boat and kept it visible. I can assure you that mold will never grow on top there, even if it is wet due to very high humidity. It's really great. the only thing rotting away in my aft cabin are my clothes :-D

Getting so much more done each episode now that you are working on it full time.

And the pronunciation of caulk...
Thank you Mads for this week's video. A few small pieces of silver duct tape would fill in the gaps on the port light ring. Not permanent but good for filming-LOL. Take care and let us know how far the hole piece made it before you caught up to it.
I just love you sense of humor! Thanks for the episode

Your making tremendous progress. Looking mighty spiffy.
spiffy indeed!
Mads you are now full time boat rebuilding. Great progress is being made.
Absolutely love your videos my friend. They are very entertaining, informative and funny. Thank you for making them.
We LOVE LOVE LOVE this sailing channel and watching SPIFFY!! ⚓⛵

Beautiful mahogany.
Wow so much achieved, and juggling so many jobs at once. Very impressed
11:46 - "It appears that a piece of Athena has set sail.." YAY!! Already splashing the boat :D
Hey Mads, just varnished my interior teak exactly as you did and it looks awesome, cheers!
I think you’re the fastest and best build out there!
Aha, the port light that tripped my ocd for years till finally it had been freed from the wall. Now even has paint around it thanks 👍🏻
Add another edit mate. Tript is not a word. Try tripped.
Coming along, in the videos we can really see the progress. About the upholstery are you going to attempt sewing to your portfolio of skills? If not you should start looking for a upholstery shop and check out their quality.
I hate that you are almost done… lol… wait its a sailboat… I always check to see if video is over or under 20 min cause I want more… Great Job!
Busy week. Wow you get so much more done working full time on the boat. 😊
its really taking shape keep up the great work and have a great week as well
It’s like you filmed this episode in time lapse? ; ) You got so much done! Great job
She is REALLY coming together, Mads!
Hey Mads still looking in and enjoying ...
Very nice "probing" technique ;)
Is that your medical opinion doctor 😁
Nice I bet the interior looks brighter with the paint on the bulkhead
Turbo mode engaged! Great progress.
Wow! I am amazed at the progress you made this week - it is amazing what you can accomplish when you don't have to go to work 😊👍
we so much love your attention to detail. Ava should be mad pleased with the eyesore gone. 👍👍💚⛵
Great job Mads
I always enjoy watching Sail Life on Sunday’s. This one was D lite full. 👍👍
Nice to see so much progress - she’s really coming together now!
looks great Mads. "More than one way to swing a cat" so NO criticism here Mads, but I am 80% sure you can adjust the depth on that Trim Router.... no need to add material for right height of the surface.
We love your videos. You seem just like Teal on RUclips "On Board Life Style" out of Washington state.
Your attention to detail is amazing!! Keep it coming!
Except Mads has a personality. That guy on Basik has some great skills but is just a blank in every other way.
You should paint the space aluminum grey where the port light frame was cut to create the illusion of a full frame.
Love the slats, the finish on them is lovely.
The highlight of my Sundays each week
So much progress! Amazing what can be done without a normal job!
The amount of work you’re now able to do is astonishing! I would take all week just to varnish those slats
Man you definitely know what you're doing, fantastic!
and now i wanna do boat work, problem theres no boat to be found. always looking forward to your great content!
need to buy a boat^^
Loads of progress this week. Well done mads 👌🏻
Port-light frame with cut out for missing bulkhead.... I'm betting the one flaw on Athena right above the nav station is going to gnaw at you. So I'm starting a pool, "on which upcoming Sunday" will we see C&C action with a piece of aluminum for a new port-light frame?
Excited for you, man! Everything is coming together.
The progress this week is crazy! Looking great as always. 👍
Your making wonderful progress Mads.
Don’t forgot to keep moving items on your to-do list;)
So close to done!
From France very good perfect cordialement
Mads, I’m out of breath just watching you! Save a little of yourself for Ava when she arrives👍
Great job Mads! GOD speed. JC
Love the Ring of Deception, too funny !!
Tremendous jobs you’ve done on board ! It’s such a pleasure to watch you videos every week ! 👏
Thanks for the lovely video as always, Mads and may your rendering be smooth (& just eat some popcorn with peanuts and m&m's while you wait-it does "sweeten the ordeal just a bit!).
Awesome as always, you will get lots completed now.
Wow Athena looks so good! Thanks for sharing, we learn a lot by watching your videos! Already stole some of you ideas for our own boat 😄
I plan on using this video as a template for making templates for templates.
looks fantastic
Oh goody, more glorious sanding!
