Following Matt as he turns an old solo circumnavigating Open 60 sailboat into the perfect cruiser.

Moving day! Duracell gets moved to our backyard to start the big project.

And as the truck pulled out of the cul-de-sac, the loudest cheer came from the neighbors!

[mindfullifeguide]

Wow! That driver deserves a gold star! Can't wait to see the progression.

2:33 😂 the people who are just sitting in the yard on chairs watching. Not harping on them, just fun to see them comfortable while a few people are probably freaking out moving that boat.

Huge props to the driver for getting that in and out of places it truly doesn't belong with no damage! Also huge props to you two for saving this boat as its obvious that the previous owner was in no position to do so.

[rickytimms]

Hats off to the transport company. Top notch driving and job. I would HIGHLEY recommend this company...100 % !!!

[carenclemmons]

Can't tell you how happy I am seeing this boats life continue. I grew up in Minneapolis and sailed at both Minnetonka and Wayzata yacht clubs. Plant was a huge inspiration to all of us that followed in his wake. His sailing career was what first got me interested in single-handed sailing and he has been a personal hero of mine. Very excited to watch you transform this boat. Cheers!

Andy and Melissa restoring Melody said I had to check you guys out. So here I am and I’m starting at the beginning ! Will catch up soon. Cheers.

[carolyneinerson]

Looks like a fabulous project! Anyone interested in restoring boats should watch this. Can’t wait for the next episode. We’ll have to come for a tour of the boat AND your house!

[RoamingRupps]

Looking foraward to following the build! She's gonna be a sleek ride.

[RoadProductions]

That's incredible Matt! That's some truck driving goals right there!

[rrdnersbcglob]

Sailing Magic Carpet got me tuned in. I'm looking forward to getting caught up on your videos and watch the progress. I have been Restoring Little Girl for 5 years now. I started sailing her 2 summers ago but now I have ripped up the rotted foredeck and deep into this next faze of Restoring Little Girl. You have a monumental task ahead. I look forward to watching you bring her back and create your (very large) cruiser. Don't get discouraged and don't quit!

[scottlees]

Just over from Magic Carpet. Cant wait to binge watch and follow your journey.

[Tommy]

It's great to hear of an owner taking their time to pass on a boat, particularly a fabulous boat such as this.

[WidleyWesident]

A huge project. You, sir, are a very brave man. I’ll be watching with interest. 😀👍

[SailingCinderella]

This is amazing! Thanks for sharing, we are stoked to watch her come alive again!

[normanboyes]

I have been aware of your project for a while, but have been too busy to watch a lot of YouTube, but with winter approaching here - now is the time.😉 Looks a fantastic project and you are interesting people.😀👍⛵️

[marahernandez]

Awesome!! So much patience required to move that boat! Not to mention for the project as a whole. Can't wait for the next installment.
