    The V-berth is looking DAMN SPIFFY! Will you be able to program the magic digital switch box thingie to turn on the "mood lighting" and start your Barry White playlist simultaneously via bluetooth? Asking for a friend…

    No isolation in the V-berth? Wauu.
    I wouldn't sleep there.

    Hej Mads. Jeg er nysgerrig 🙂 Jeg kan se i tidligere videoer at du anvender Epifanes Rapidcoat, du er nu konverteret til International Goldspar satin, hvad er grunden til dette og starter du ikke ud med klar lak i de første lag, eller hvad er din fremgangs måde ?

    Where did you get your mahogany slats from? I’m looking at doing the same thing, but having no luck finding a good source?

    Hi Mads! I have been following your channel for some time now, and right now my boat is up and this very weekend I will start my first DIY-project – the forward cabin. I would like to know what paint I should have on the hull – You mentioned International and Sigma, but which paint from these companies? Hope you can help me with this, because the paint shop I went to today didn't really know. Fair winds! /Maria

    Spiffy no doubt. Just a thought, I’d look at putting a couple of lights underneath the storage cabinetry in the forward berth, perhaps on a separate circuit controlled in the berth. Nice to gave that lighting for guests to read by. Plus, I just like a well lit room

    Don't you have to put insulation below the water line? also I didn't see that you put some under the mahagony in the vbirh…

    Just subscribed. Feeling unworthy with my Tartan 37 refit. Come up the Chesapeake to Annapolis on your US visit. Great place to be in October.

    Everything is looking tip-top-shape. BTW don't you have hardware stores in Denmark like a; Lowes or Home Deport or Ace Hardware – You order a lot online for delivery. I usually make 20 trips to Lowes for my projects; 10 to purchase and 10 to return items…

    Hi Mads, a while ago you showed us a very spiffy wireless temperature sensor connected to your phone.
    Can U pls share the brand/model of such sensor?
    Thanks a lot

    Just soak the brass bits in acid to remove all the oxidation from places you can't reach. Citric acid or vinegar or whatever. And do you want some Lanolin? Chapped lips, turn buckles, hinges: it works for everything. Less toxic and less runny than engine oil (actually supposed to be high pressure resistant and suitable for under the waterline). I'll send you some if you want. I… bought half a kilo but I think all I needed was 60g for the next 2 years.

    Hi Great video in the future the best way to deal with things like corroded hinges is to soak them in coke a cola for about 3 hours then presto no more stuck hinges
