I once commented, “The best sailing channel out there.” I should have added, “and the nicest people.”

Most genuine sailing people on KZread by far and away. Most are frauds and clickbaiters and/or have no experience and winging it all the time just for the insta thumbnails etc, not these two, proper real people and Pascy's man has a good deep solid knowledge of everything he does on board. 10/10

Unsophisticated, in a sophisticated way! I Will miss you guys, it was e wonderful Journey to follow.🧭⚓

First Australia then the World!!!!

Pascal, I don't let you in your your channel forever and I just think you are one of the most beautiful wonderful light-hearted Charming smart women of sailing. So thank you for being so delightful. Like said you were his remarkable and you just ate sweetheart from every inch your bones. Some of us colic just realize that. I just want to share with you that I think you're an absolutely wonderful beautiful smart woman and this man is so lucky to have you onboard this boat

This is my favourite episode of Cribs!

Pascale, you have aged minus 10 years with a bit of TLC ashore! You deserve it. You both look happy to be home. Unless people followed you all the way they won't realise it was 3 years of learning and 9 months of hard work to make that boat a home.

Dave Harlem summed it up succinctly. Well done guys.

thank you for the tour. i see that one must be a renaissance person of the sea to manage everything needed to stay afloat. Great respect for all you serious sailors out there.

There’s no useless content on your channel. It’s always great. Thank you Troy and Pascale.

Is there such a thing as useless content? I think not.

Excellent to have beacon in you life preserver...I know that biscuits just get to moist after hours of floating

Absolutely brilliant, beautiful and practical. You did a great job on the old girl!

The hardest part for me as an old guy when I started watching you was figuring out the name of your boat from hearing you say it. Between my lack of ear for Ausie English and the rather esoteric name of the boat it took me a while. Thanks again for all the trouble you go to to make KZread videos. I don’t watch regular tv much any more so I really look forward to seeing what you are up to

Ray, you're not alone! I've been racing yachts with various Aussie crew on board my boats for 25+ yrs and I still can't understand half of what they're going on about ("about" spoken like a Canadian...cuz I'm a Canuck eh!). It's a unique accent but they're a good bunch and bloody good in a rough sea. Cheers, from SY Miss Foxy, SINGAPORE.

As a compulsive armchair KZread sailer who is desperately trying to convince his wife that sailing a little boat like yours on really great adventures is where we need to be headed, this episode is going to make it so much easier !!! Yes space is at a premium but great planning makes life 'easier' and when it's easier it's more relaxed and fun. And you guys have documented this so well. These videos have been a pleasure to share with you (especially loved the Kimberleys !!!!!), thanks so much. We don't seem to get many Clansmans for sale in the UK so next best option for me might be a Vega. Love these classic early fibreglass boats that seem bulletproof and have an ability to sail anywhere (with a decent captain of course !!!!).

"in the old timey sailing boats" > Me at 6'4 furiously taking notes for refitting my dads folkboat to live aboard - Yup Seriously though you guys are a massive inspiration! My dad has already drilled into me not to change much and just spend some time on it before deciding, it's reasuring to hear you guys say the same. Even if the ideas running through my head are driving me a bit mad :)

I am glad to hear you advocate for a "Sea Chest". I have never understood why some people who clearly have the Opportunity when refitting or building a boat do not avail themselves of that option. In addition, I am a strong believer in cooling the Main engine with a keel cooler. Something as simple as a pipe on the outside of the hull running the entire length, filled with radiator fluid, being cooled by the seawater, and returning cool fluid to the engine would eliminate all kinds of heat-exchanger and raw water cooling pump problems. I would guess that a very large percentage of below deck problems are the result of not having those two options installed. I love what you did as it not only shows pride but also a good understanding of how to optimize available resources. All the best to you both.

Keel cooling is the best system if it is designed well to bleed air out of it and a nightmare if it isn't!

Troy... I hope you truly appreciate Pascal, she is amazing woman, she has the most infectious smile and personality...you two have done an amazing refit on your sailing vessel! I hope you two continue continue your journey sailing!!!! I love your videos, thank you for sharing!

You show that a lot of living can be done on a smaller vessel. Thanks. Great job.

And here I was feeling sorry for myself because the grand voyage was over...Then Yay !!! another Free Range Sailing video !!!

Thanks for all your great videos, very informative and fun. I do have a concern on the bung location, Here is the scenario, You come back to your yacht from a trip to shore and you find 3 feet of water in the cabin. The pull drawer and the surrounding wood has swelled and locked the pull drawer in place. Sounds like a bad location for the bungs. I know, I am a pessimist. I am really just being selfish because I enjoy watching you two so much, I don't want anything bad to happen. It might interfere with you putting out another great video. Stay safe and have fun. Peace and Light

Not many people will be foiled by a 6mm piece of plywood if their boat is sinking.

I would leave more comments but everyone has already said it! Great 👍 job I'm so jealous. Happy Sailing 😊

What you guys have done sailing around the Australian Continent in that little boat is just bloody amazing. And to film it the way you have and share it with all of us is very generous, kind and educational. I for one thank you very much for sharing your magnificent voyage especially during lockdown and I have massively gained emotionally from sharing this voyage with you. I am really looking forward to what happens next for you. Go on, have another lap, it is only a small island…

@@javedsiddiqui1870 So, Have you watched them all the way around Austrailia? I guess not. If you had, you would know, it was both bloody and amazing, and, bloody amazing. Watch it all, then you are qualified to comment.

Pasquale mentioned a water catcher in storage. When you catch rainwater, how do you purify it to remove contaminates? It would be great to have a video that talks about rainwater purification for safe consumption.

I really admire your accomplishments both with the up-fit of your boat and with your travels. Super Job and many thanks for sharing with us. I wish you lived here (US) so I could meet you in person. I purchased my first sailboat last fall (1965 Person Vanguard) and your channel is the closest of anything on KZread that I could find similar to my situation - older style boat with narrow hull design but very solid. My boat was up-fitted by the previous owner about 5 years before I bought her and most of my learning has been to investigate/learn what was done by someone else. I have been doing my own little improvements and modifications since the day I purchased it but I fall short of anything close to your clear thinking - not enough experience yet is my thinking. And I must say you guys have done an amazing job with your Clansman. You have inspired me to make changes and additions that will improve the boat - thank you again so much for sharing your ideas and successes. I really admire you both as a couple and as sailors and ships-men. Keep up the great adventure. God Speed and good fortune.

Looked back. Been with you since Episode 5. Coconuts. It has been a delight. Selfishly hope you continue to explore and share but most of all wish you well. Thank you.

Whoah!! unsophisticated? maybe! but you two are absolute class ,,,, 'have watched, in awe, your adventures WOW!! amazing.

I thought the length of the video was just fine, it looks nice and cozy inside now.

Thank you. You have both done a fabulous job of getting the most of your small space. Very cleaver!

i cruise with three other sailing couples from my recliner and this channel is by far the best, You two are true sailors. the others not so much. awesome job on the refit, I am very impressed that you did it all yourselves. I hope you will continue sailing and making videos. I must agree with bob in Nevada, Pascale looks like a teenager, and Troy, well you could be her dad!!!! Ha Ha

Every time I see any part of y'alls boat I think, you two must get along exceptionally well....LOL. Spent some time on a relatives's 35ft catch and you wouldn't think there would be such a big difference between 30 and 35 but I don't think I could travel on anything smaller than that even on my own. Everything is really well laid out on your boat and as you've said, it costs you so little which is great but I think I'd get a bit stir crazy in such a small space. But I've enjoyed your videos and thanks for taking us along for the ride.

It's amazing when 2 people can live in what's probably around 100 square feet of living space for four and a half years and still get along. Congratulations.

I’ve said it before,but I’ll reinforce what I said.It’s a beaut little boat,you can be proud of the work you’ve done with the refit,best wishes 🙂

One thing about your channel is fight always want to learn something new about how things should be done I immediately go straight to this channel. Thank you guys so much sales safe watch out for those Crocs. I'm the guy that's always worried about the Crocs anyhow love you guys take care be safe have great Journeys and I'm looking very fortunately forward to what you guys are going to produce for us thanks and love you guys so much take care be safe stay healthy

Just a ton of clever low tech ideas!! 🎖❤

Ingenious solutions to perennial sailboat layout problems, always with an eye on the possibility of things failing (I am also of the fundamental belief that you should regard everything a boat as being likely to fail and have a back-up plan for each thing), and it even looks good; nice one.

It’s unreal how much you accomplished in the last refit. Kudos. BTW, I really enjoyed this video. Sharing in the USA.

Thank you so much. You are both totally inspirational and the loveliest people.

I thoroughly enjoyed the tour. I am living vicariously through you so please enjoy yourselves as much as possible.

Hello friends, it's been a while since you made this beautiful trip around Australia but it's been a while since I found your youtube. I loved your video of restoration and modification of your sailboat, you are ingenious and work very well. Thank you for your shared videos, it's very nice to see you sailing and doing everything. I wish you lots of happiness and good travels. A friend from Quebec Canada Bon vent

Form and function……both boxes ticked 👌🏼 Nice job guys

I love the electrical panel, so much simpler than mine on a much smaller boat, OCD-built by PO. Yours is fairly high above the bilge and closed off from spray and rain. Way to go.

Not sure what her LOA is but what a wonderful layout . I'm in the process of a total refit on my 30 ft ketch and I will use a lot of what you two have Done . Angus New Englander .

Ok this is video number 57 of my "I want to buy 2 Free Range Sailing hoodies" campaign Cheers Matt

Appreciated the tour! Keep in touch when you can! Everything of the very best, Shaun in Cape Town.

I absolutely love your boat. You guys are all right too, I guess. No, honestly, between your channel, sailing Good Bad and Ugly, Sailing Uma, The Adventures of the old Seadog, and that maniac Erik up in Norway, I have done nothing but shop for boats for the past year, looking for my version of "Marool" ? and I would do nothing more than good craftsmanship and easy to clean in my mind when refitting. Oh yeah, staying afloat too. Thanks for all the inspiration, again and again.

Erik is like you too, just rolling along in the roaring 40's

Love your engine refit philosophy I believe the same. Being green is about reducing consumption so using something up to the end of its life is definitely better than replacement with a new greener alternative. Love your videos.

That was great. I’m so proud of you two, plus the boat.

Neat, clean and efficient. Just like you guys. I watched the whole refit. Impressive. Again, just like...........

You are an ideas man and great to put them in practice. Both of you are down to earth. One of the "bestest" videos out there.

Wow you guys are so lucky,watching this beutifull video and seeing the ocean outside and the island in the back ground is priceless, thank you for an amazing tour of your beautiful boat❤️👍

Kudos for a handsome and well laid out interior. And ship shape!

I truly enjoyed this video. I am a novice wood worker and your craftsmanship is great. I am going to use some of your ideas with my boat renovation. Look forward to your next video.

The best people to demonstrate the Freedom to take Responsibility for Themselves. & who could make high end narrations of all or anything!! Briiliant.

Thank you for the tour. You have both done such a fine job!

great idea having shutoff everywhere especially the head

281122 I did this sort of thing to my yacht, so I know what a truly excellent job you have made of it. Congatulations on master shipwrighting. By now you have sold Mirool so you will always have a good memory for your evermore pleasure. I see you are just as creative with the ranshackle ranch. Best of luck in life you two.

Perfect refit......as compact and well designed as a Swiss Army knife x

I swear Pascale gets prettier by the day, you two are such an inspiration on how life's adventure can be done on a budget. Enjoy your break and hope you are back soon to inspire us all again.

Loved it.
