⛵️ Abandoned DIY hurricane catamaran project. Lots of leaks! 😱

Mads in DIY-mode is what got us addicted to his channel in the first place. Don’t get me wrong. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed watching you reap the benefits of your labor while sailing Athena for the past few years…. But… there’s nothing like seeing you in your natural environment. “Covered in man-glitter” as you would say.

Welcome back Mads, we missed you. Sincerely, fibreglass.

People love a great boat rebuild. I believe your channel will prosper with this project!

The return of Mr. Angle Grinder!

I teared up when you broke out the grinder!

I am so excited for this project Mads. Been watching you since Oblix. Athena was awesome but this is a whole new level of oh gloriousness.

Mads! Dan from Norway here! The tape could be the tape used to seam/seal vapor barrier when you are building houses in cold climates like Danmark and Norway. The shop called it "non-aging" tape Mine is from Scotch but I am sure more brands like 3M makes them as well. I have a roll in my leftovers that are now 15 years old. It is as soft and sticky as the day I used it those years ago. Super stuff. Expensive but very good!

And it begins

I love that Mads and Eva answer most of the comments, means a lot .

The ‘how to do repairs’ and current recommendations for tools is valuable to me.

The sanding madness begins!

Thanks for putting out these videos, I look forward to them every Sunday.

Awesome Mads & Ava. Thanks to the new and old Patreons. I love this channel and would love to see it keep going. Unfortunately I'm not in a position to be a financial supporter. So to the Donators and Patreons a big THANK YOU. Good luck with the paperwork issues and Ad-Sense. Mads it doesn't matter what videos you show. Just send it.

Nice to see that you have at least one loyal Fan

Can everyone else hear that? It's like the boat is saying "please, please, please!! I want to live with Mads and Ava! They will make me beautiful!! They will take me on adventures!!" Go get'em Mads!!

You are back in your element. Glad you are doing this project.😊

Mads, you are getting back to proper refit shape! Yes!!!

Maasa, I didn’t realize how much I enjoyed your “rebuilding boat” videos until you made this video. Thanks for Sharing your vast knowledge with us.

The repair videos are great,,, but don't be afraid to post the regular episodes as well... I promise I will watch them both ... best wishes and ............ Cheers

This is the 3M version of the tape you asked about. “3M™ Polyurethane Protective Tape 8663”. We use it on helicopter blades to cover the area where the stainless steel erosion strips ends to keep any rain water when flying or washing water while on the ground from getting under the stainless steel. Without that tape sand and dirt particles really blast away the adhesives and leaves voids for the water to penetrate those areas. I’ve heard it called “Blade Tape”, “NASCAR Tape”, and “100mile an hour tape.” It comes in two thicknesses also. The thinner tape we use on the tail rotor blades and it will last about 100 hours, the thicker we use on the main rotor blades and it will last about 300 to 500 hours depending on if we are working out of dirt landing zones or using airports.
