The Cape GEORGE 36 is a long-keeled cutter designed by William Atkin, Ed Monk, and Edwin Monk Sr., built by Cecil Lange, Son, and Cape George Marine Works from 1979 to the present. With an LOA of 11.0 m, a beam of 3.2 m, and a draft of 1.5 m, it displaces 10,568 kg. Aboard *Sailing Magic Carpet*, the owners of a Cape GEORGE 36 named *Magic Carpet* undertook an extensive refit, replacing an underpowered BMW engine with a 43-horsepower Beta 43 diesel, chosen for its mechanical simplicity and suitability for remote cruising.10:46 The refit included structural deck work, such as installing a second layer of plywood on the cockpit deck and ready-made hatches, and interior upgrades like pouring epoxy on galley countertops and painting teak veneer.2:57 They also fabricated custom galley cabinetry from marine-grade plywood and built a dedicated shelf for new lithium batteries, aiming to meet ABYC standards with Battle Born batteries and a Wakespeed alternator regulator.16:54 The crew prepared the cabin top for fiberglassing by rounding corners and filling holes, and applied Epiphanes two-component polyurethane paint to the interior.0:53 After restoring the oxidized gel coat through sanding and buffing, the crew sailed *Magic Carpet* into Glendale Cove, British Columbia, to film grizzly bears, navigating significant wind funnels and adhering to local wildlife management protocols.10:46 They also preserved salmon by brining and smoking it on an uninhabited island.1:17
