Sail Life - Spiffy DIY toe rail & KiwiGrip Non-Skid ⛵

This week we install a super spiffy DIY toe rail and apply non-skid to the deck. That's two major big tasks we can finally cross off the to-do list! We're about 3 weeks from being able to untie the lines.

Ava is a great edition to Sail Life and Mad's despite the "spiffy" count drop. Great team work. Team Work makes the Dream Work.

BMS Repair - Hi Mads. Looking at the video I believe that the BMS is repairable. If you send it to me I can repair it for you and send it back. It sure would be nice to have a spare on board. I am in New Zealand but can pay for shipping costs as my way to supporting your project. Regards. Jeff.

Who in the world could give this even close to a thumbs down? Excellent quality, content, and entertainment. Go Athena!

Damn 11/11 on the spiffiness scale! Very rare!

[bobbonetto]

I like your parents, they seem very nice and welcoming

This is my favorite thing about Sundays

[georgebrown]

Ava is a great addition. So upbeat and easy going.

Holy moley!! That toe rail does look like a million bucks! And the Kiwigrip looks great too! Ava and Mads, y’all are quite the team. I just love Sundays. Cheers to jobs well done. 🍻

The channel seems complete with Eva there. Nice find Mads. She seems like a good fit.

Ava's a natural! Her video skills are on point.

Thank you both for the videos. It is such a pleasure to see people who know their stuff, doing it right.

The toe rail is the icing on the cake.

I noticed that you are much more energized. Having your woman with you every day is definitely a emotional lift. I have a good happy energy when my wife is home. And I have been married to my beautiful Italian wife for 30 years. I can't explain how love is with a woman who you spent most of your life with. I get excited having coffee with her, that's why my life is great😊 simple pleasures with someone who is your everything ❤

Can't say enough good things about this channel. Always look forward to new episodes. Keep up the good work.

Electrical Engineer here... there is no standard where things are left to right or right to left on a connector - so that's not it. The fact that you're fully DIY and haven't made a mistake like this in years is a testament to how skilled you are. And I don't know why, but the Danish swearing always makes me LOL. Great work overall!

Mads you really chooched that BMS into a low earth orbit!

[julieperry]

Love the two of you doing these together now. So awesome.

This channel keeps getting better and better. It seems just like yesterday when you dug into the deck core to "fix a few wet spots."

So much has been knocked out in the last few years. Athena looks awesome.

The wood bulwarks/toerails are amazing. We only use Tung oil on all of our outside wood except for the drop boards/companionway slats. It is a really easy job to oil all the wood on the topsides. I can do it all in a couple of hours and we have a LOT more than you do on Athena. It would take 15-minutes to oil your bulwarks and buff off the excess. Do it every couple of months and it'll be all the brightwork maintenance you will ever need to do on the topsides.

peanut butter and jam (kiwis say jam) you two are the perfect combo.

The toe rail looks fabulous it gives the boat a really modern and high end look
