SAIL CANCER Budget Sailing Hi her name is Leoden an Australian Nicholson 32 . I injured my finger in Nelson bay whilst mooring the yacht , yes I’ll do a walk around video in the new year , best wishes ,cheers Phil

I have a 1920 C&N tender 10' LOA. Bought her in Petworth W. Sussex and shipped her across the pond. Have any idea where I might advertise such a jewel?

Great boat a good mate of mine has one over here in the UK, take you anywhere that will.

Congratulations on getting a super boat! Just found your site, I have a N32 1977 love the boat! The only problem with them is not lots of room. I subscribed you should check out mine! What engine do you have?

Hi Phil just found your video it's great. Just a question, I have done a lot of work on my boat at Yamba marina (my boat is at Iluka on a mooring) Why didn't you do the re-rigging at Yamba with Scooter? Look forward to more videos. Thanks for posting.

Sailing SV Mareki , good question..After sailing down from Yamba to Coffs I discovered a siezed Jib pully at the top of the mast as I needed to remove the mast to fix it I decided to get it re rigged at the same time with Coffs Harbour rigger Pierre Gal , he did a great job. Cheers Phil

Nice boat Phil 😀👍😎- did you ever find those drunken shits? You captured the waves beautifully - how did you do that?

Hi , I don’t know sorry

Nice boat and looks like the start of a beautiful relationship for you both! Just subscribed and hoping to pick up some tips as a Nich 32 is on my shortlist for a round Aus trip in 2022. I’m curious: what did the re-rig set you back? Thanks!

Hi Phil, my partner and I are looking to buy our first boat after crewing in other boats the last two seasons in Batemans Bay/Sydney/Gosford areas. If you don’t mind, can you tell me what you paid for your? And would you recommend any specific issues to look out for when buying? Cheers KJ

Hi Kay Jay , Id recomend getting a marine survey done before purchase, id go for a full keel yacht for safety in rough seas. A boat I could stand up in was important for me personally. Spend as much as you can, on the smallest boat you are comfortable with. Its a buyers market so take your time and buy right from someone who maintained their boat . Good luck and if you feel like it let me know how you go , best wishes Phil

Phil to Phil, you sold that Top Hat yet mate or are you still a fleet owner?

Sailing VIO Fastest reply ever and good to hear. I am half way through The Big Fat Surprise by Nina Teicholz, excellent book, she has quite a few youtube video's about the low fat high carb diet, the money and politics behind it and the terrible results. On the more relevant subject of sailing we had a clinker built Nordic Folkboat when I was a kid, so beautiful, same long keel design as yours

Sailing Vio, Great to see your video. I own a 1969 Nic 32, based in the UK. Wonderful yachts! Are you aware of two Nic 32 groups: 1. The Nicholson 32 Owners Association, see www.nicholson32.org and 2. The Facebook group "Nicholson 32 Owners" ? Cheers, Alan Thorne
