1. I kinda miss the hole in the nav station.

2. ⛵⛵⛵⛵⛵

3. While I love to hear your new post it has a problem. I'm getting the sound but a blank screen. What's the deal?

4. snicker Hay Timmy, go down to the boat store and pickup some propwash. Many o' good laughs were had with that one…….

5. 😂 couldn’t find teak in Denmark?

6. Great video. Looking forward to seeing “Wife Unit” Ava, again. 🥰🥰🥰

7. Beautiful work! Congratulations!

8. at 1:10: Do you have 4 large bottles of… Popcorn?

   And: Go away, you crazy Dane! We all want to see Ava, the real reason we like this channel!

9. You need some more popcorn. 🤣🤣

10. Since you are looking, check out the Oyster 49 vlogged by Learning the lines Jan 13

11. Maybe add a DIY table pad type cover for the island in the galley. Something that can be stowed, but which would give you a safe work surface there. Great work as usual too!

12. 11:40 nice shirt! R&D

13. 💖💖💖🇦🇺

14. It looks like everything is almost a ship-shape on Athena. I have enjoyed your video adventures over the years and your work ethic. You mentioned fixing the overhead on the boat. Have you ever considered lining the overhead with cork? Cork is a good insulator and is relatively maintenance-free. I also believe it would complement your varnished teak woodwork. My understanding is that cork is used on many European boats and I just saw a 52' yacht on YouTube with a full cork deck. Just a thought to consider.

15. For the prop, you could grind it all down to bare aluminium, clean it and immediately use etch primer to get a new coat before anti-fouling. Aluminium starts oxidizing almost immediately, and without primer nothing will stick properly.
    I've had good experience with bronze and stainless steel (non-sailboat) propellers. Even with slow-going vessels just polishing the propellers is enough to avoid growth.

16. Another interesting Vid Mads

    When you coming to Australia

    Love to show you around the Great Barrier Reef.

    Merry belated Christmas

17. Mads on my Catana 47 with Yanmar SD50 sail drives we sanded them to Ali and then 3 coats of epoxy barrier coat and then copper coat like my whole hulls. On the point of that prop protection when we were in Trinidad we used the sea jet type which worked great, we got some fuzz on the props but not barnacles. Here in SE Asia I bought that Prop one in Thailand but it nearly lasted 3 months before we got serious barnacles on my props. I’m having to scrape them every couple of weeks..😳

18. Hope you are bearing up over the abdication! 🤴🏻

19. Try OSMO countertop woodwax on the countertops, works fine on our liveaboard, whitstands the normal detergents used. Easy to resurface if scratchy every few years

20. Keep up with the good content 🙂 I would put the same product on both the sail drive and the prop, you have used more dollars in prop-paint than the prop itself is worth 😀

21. See you👍🏼🥰

22. Oh Glorious Splashing…

23. I think Athens needs her own website where you can click on the various parts of her and goto the restoration video on that item.

24. 👍🏽

25. Sadolins PV67 for your varnished worktops – we use it on bar tops that take a pounding. The attention to detail is slightly mind blowing, but I've not had a lot of success with Propspeed, must try some of the other varieties…

26. I miss Mads in his blue jacket with detailed videos and different camera angles 😢 https://youtu.be/iMVsoCmwuMg?si=oxvU33888GBRRVIU

27. Mads: the best anti-fouling I've used for my prop is "cold galvanizing" spray paint. I've tried propspeed and similar products, and every fall, my prop would be covered with barnacles. I saw the spray paint suggestion on line somewhere, and it worked like a charm. I put three or four coats on over the course of about 45 minutes, and the prop and shaft are free of barnacles for a full season. It takes more time to tape off the hull and anodes than it does to apply the paint. Available at any hardware store for less than $10 a can.
