Just seen this video!! Can not believe that you find it so amazing turning the Newhaven-Dieppe ferry!! My father was the last British Rail Shipping and Port Manager at Newhaven from 1971 thru to 1982/83!! During his time there the x3 ferries working the service routinely came in Bow first into the linkspan and upon departure turned and left Bow first!! The x2 French vessels Villandry and Valancey did sometimes turn outside the harbour and come in stern first!! Originally they both did not have Bow doors!! They were fitted during a refit but I believe that they were problematic!! I have fond memories as a child either sitting in my dads office or Newhaven Harbour Signal Box on a Sat morning watching the 11:00 ferry turning and departing!! Sometimes if I was lucky we would actually go on to the ferry for coffee with the Captain before departure!!

The skipper is no doubt French. He will have crew overboard swimming with ropes on them. It's what they do. I met a French bloke. He was sailing around the world in a 28 foot boat. It had no motor at all. He wanted to dock in Noumea and they had no-one to bring him in. So he tried sailing. No wind. So he swam it in. No kidding. He got off the back and pushed, moving the rudder by hand. The marina operator thought he was insane. Anyhow, his mate was buying our yacht. He said he wanted to check the keel. Put on goggles and jumped overboard. Literally 2 minutes later he came back up.

I dont know why I like to watch people of all skill levels take on a project like a Sailboat. I totally get your honesty about taking on the project, but there are some questions I have maybe you would like to answer, maybe even gather all your questions you get and do a video answering them if you feel up to it. First question is why did you choose that size of boat, it seems small and I bet if your looking to fix a boat you may want to choose a boat that woudl be larger as you are a grown man. I understand money does not grow on trees, so that may be it, but I can immagine a larger boat that may need more repair that may not even cost as much as the one you have now. Seccond question is do you watch other sailing channels to learn the best way to make repairs on your own boat? I dont know where you skills lie but from most of the channels I have seen when you put (Shore Power socket) a whole in your boat you may want to seal it with Epoxy so it does not rot the wood between the Fiberglass layers. Also I did not see you use any sealant beyond the rubber seal that came in the kit, maybe temporary fix but I hate to see you have problems later that could have been prevented at the time of installation. Lastly I want to comment about your video style and that is to say Do it as you see fit, I do not think there is a wrong way. You may find later you want to improve the quality, or the method to your video series, but either way its your channel and do whatever you like. With that said you may from time to time get suggestions on how to improve the videos you make. One thing you must never change is your humor and quipy remarks as it just plain funny. Things you have not really done is tell us more about your boat as in a way of a in depth walk arround. We also would like to know more about you and skills you have and how they will help you with your endeavor. Goos luck and keep at it.

@BumblingSailor

Жыл бұрын

Hi, thanks for your questions. The reason I got this small boat is pedigree and seakeeping. The full keel, narrow beam and low height means she'll heave to well (a great safety feature), she'll punch through waves, and take water over her bow without it hitting a big coach roof. The lack of volume low down in the Hull form means she won't 'bounce' up waves due to excess buoyancy. Everything about the boat is geared towards seakeeping and robustness, and she's of a size that's easy to handle solo. She's laid up in solid fibreglass, there's no core to seal up. I've got sikaflex to replace the gasket, it was -4 and outside of the curing range of sealants, and now its rained almost constantly since. I know I've probably missed something but I can't read your comment while I write the reply. I'm doing a walkaround soon, hopefully it'll clear things up. Thanks!

Suggestions for you are; Do your best to put out content on a weekly if not more often if you can. For the money situation I do suggest having a Patrion link in every video you post and make it easy to find, also you need to put together a Online Shopping Wish list for things you need for boat repairs as well as maintaining your channel ie Camera equipment and anything else you can think of and remind your viewers if they can to check out said wish list if they can help out. IMO a One time purchase is easier to bite into than a monthly obligation for some people. I think its good to remember to not think of this as all alone so reach out to local business than may be able to help you, talk about your project whenever you can, this means to also think of contacting Marine Companies that may want to sponsor you in some way. I dont know how organized you are as a person or if you even want to be, but maybe start now while you can. Start a list of items you have on hand, things you need, and projects you will be doing and possibly adding the things you need to complete those projects. Lastly one thing I notice when watching videos is how hard it is to film all the work being done and as you are alone I suggest a camera mount that you can leave in a static position and simply work and fiddle with the footage in editing. All of this will come with time and the more you do it the better routine you will fall into. I will continue to watch your videos, stay posative.
