Paul was a natural, great to watch a professional in their element, passionate about what they do.

Me: 15 hour job, cocked up
Pro: 1.5 hours, eyes closed - perfect

Loved the episode - the skill and knowledge just shined thru

[mapsman]

Paused the video to congratulate Maya on some superb editing. Paul was moving so fast and erratically that it was hard to follow. Your slow motion sequences to clarify his actions were masterful. Thank you.

[ericcommarato]

It’s so satisfying to see a professional who knows their trade inside and out.

I love learning from specialists and having Aladino explain certain things for us noobs and ask important questions. But none of it would be worth watching at all if not expertly edited and crafted by Mya!

[philwheeler]

That rigging fella should have his own channel. So well spoken and camera savvy. Great episode.

[mikeridgway]

The way you crafted this video to demonstrate what could have been a very dry "procedural" process was really quite pleasing. And the way you interspersed your B-role into the main story was quite well done as well, adding to the experience of watching and making the viewer feel as though they were in the shop with you while you were building that section of rigging. I guess by now that shouldn't come as a much of a surprise to anyone, but very well done nonetheless.

I love to hear the songs in Portuguese you guys are using to set the mood on your videos. I am Brazilian and it always a good surprise to see that you enjoy our music.

I just loved that episode, so much depends on how well you do this task. Paul seems like a hell of a nice gentleman, full of spirit. I also love how Aladino is so appreciative of being able to be part of the process of putting his own rigging together. Always yearn to learn! Pieces of jewelry to be adorned on a lovely lady! Boy, life really is a journey isn't it !!! Sleep tight, don't let the bed bugs bite ! God Bless!

Boy, Was Paul Good! A natural teacher. A pleasure to watch!

[jakobtheinventor]

The goodwill, appeal and professionalism of a craftsman, showing how is done, just increases. You just want to use Paul for your next rigging task.!
Funny to see Aladino absorb everything he is taught 😊

Great Video🙂 You can feel Paul is really in his element here, love it.

While I have designed and fabricated my own furler - riggers are uniquely gifted, thank you for highlighting this ... and on a related note, thank you both for you passion, insight, knowledge and communication (art and science). Thanks!

[Dr.Gunsmith]

Paul seems like a very likeable fellow and he’s very upbeat and a great professional. Great episode.

[gerbentvandeveen]

Paul, is iemand naar mijn hart. Lekker Old school. Geen nieuwe dinima, gewoon staalkabels.
Greetings from Bunschoten-Spakenburg the Netherlands.

This is an incredibly interesting episode. I love seeing episodes like this on sailing channels.

[mikemullen]

Maya, terrific overview and slo-mo close-up shots. Shout out to Paul if he slowed down and allowed you to take precise instructional videos. That will come in handy for you and other sailors making repairs on your own. I love having your vids as a Friday evening habit. I hope in real time you are ready to drop your boat in the water.

Stay-Lok fittings were introduced 50 years ago. Did it myself while at anchor. Keel stepped mast made it easier. Usually, swaged fittings only corrode & crack at the chainplate end. The ones at the masthead last a lot longer.

[Tommy]

Good furlers are great, hope you picked up a few spares. The ability make your own rigging is really useful for sailors travelling in remote places. Very different to marina based sailors with a rigger nearby.

Paul is a Master in his profession. If I need my rigging done, I know now where to go. As a Sailor/Sewer here. When I cut my fabric, I always measure 3x and then cut. Happy Sailing ⛵
