A video tour of Pelagic and Pelagic Australis with Skip Novak

[@richardweston4493]

It’s wonderful to see the evolution of thought and design from these up to the Vinson of Antartica. Superb.

[@joerghartmannsgruber750]

Thanks for the tour. You know what you're doing!

[@Darwin864]

Fantastic. Just fantastic. A real nautical engineering piece. Truly convincing. Don't know anything about navigation but I couldn't think of anything that size any better. Not one wasted inch.

[@davidc6510]

Absolutely amazing set up - especially Pelagic Australis. Thanks for the tour

[@lancedaniels]

Thanks for posting and sharing!

[@YuliveesOrden]

Thanks for sharing - a very interesting and impressive boat :)

[@youtubynotme]

Very well thought out boats. I love the attention to safety. Seems to be unmentioned on many boat tours.

Beauty!

Are you actually serious ??? do you have any sailing experience

[@bigredinfinity3126]

plus the million dollar price tag and the up keep

[@blueelectricfusion]

their will be another before long ;)

[@Frindleeguy]

@@bigredinfinity3126 Who needs sailing experience here? Delos? Cause they have the chops... Or Ptofte? Are you suggesting they need experience sailing to want to see sailors go to a certain area and sail a certain type of boat? Do less drugs so your thoughts make sense.

[@feuquegougueule1809]

Very well conceived, and could sail in total confiance. The kind of boat I would have cruis a long time everywher, with! Thanks for sharing !

Greetings from Chile, city of Puerto Montt, because I met you many years ago in ushuaia Argentina, I sailed on the Victory ship of Captain Ben Garret in the year 1990 1991 and well beautiful sailboat very well planning of navegation and household items greetings

[@charonstyxferryman]

This boat can't be much further away from the landlubber's floating apartment yacht that stays in a marina forever. The boats are my kind of boat. Practical, simplicity, and safety. I also noticed the lack of things which can rot.

[@sailing.crystal]

Impressive! great solutions for the expedition sailing!

[@cherrypickerguitars]

Wow! Things have changed a bit since I read “The Gypsy Moth Circles the World” back in the year it was published! I was a new sailor then, 13 yrs old and making my way around Canada’s Muskoka Lakes in an 11’ Moth scow! Incredible vessel - safe as milk! Peace

[@leojoseph6385]

Magnificent boats! What is a smaller and self-sail version of either boats? Any recommendations? Thanks!

[@SurvivalPath]

AMAZING BOAT !!!! I would love to sail on a southern ocean expedition with you and your crew. Hopefully in 2017...I'm in school now getting my skippers license... I love offshore sailing

[@larsbee]

something, idk what, made me check out ur channel and I agree 100% with what u say in the description!!! Hope u got ur license by now and u r sailing as I type this ...

[@SIC-SEMPER-TYRANNIS]

Awesome! I'd love to join your expeditions.

[@ZoneTelevision]

I have a total man-crush on this dude and his boats.I'd be interested to hear his thoughts on the Dashews boat "Beowulf"

[@alamos8]

What is the motoring range at most efficient speed?

[@2HYPR]

At 12:15 the boat behind him "Ice Bird" what sort of rig is that?

[@2HYPR]

Aero Rig... it's okay I found it...

[@reloadncharge9907]

Excellent.....not quite a Volvo/ Whitbread flyer....but an amazing layout! All manual, perfect! Thx, Andrew

[@alamos8]

I would guess... about 8-8.5 knots at "normal" conditions

[@symphonyfarm2009]

Currently reading "On Sailing" !

[@ThompsonBMXbikes]

That boat is insanely cool. I'm craving a popsicle.

[@timyarrow8844]

Is it correct that one of the ultimate safety factors of Pel. Australius (and later even larger Pelagic ships) is that the raised and water-tight pilot house provides a near fail-safe righting moment in the event that the ship is rolled 180 degrees upside-down? Does P. Australius even have an area of negative stability?

[@sukorileakbatt294]

What a boat

[@supremeflagship8965]

These are truly awesome boats. I would buy this over Garcia any day. But there are some things that make no sense to me. Namely: 1. Why not have a twin engine setup? If one engine fails, you can use the other one to get out of trouble. 2. Why not have a hank-on headsails? It is the most simple and bombproof system known to man. So I'll give these boats 9 out of 10...

[@rasmussilverin2812]

Nice, but I’m miss a show of the engine room and the technician stuff, the heart 😄

[@davidedmundson8402]

Delicious food for boat-nerds. Thanks!

[@edwardjarvis3645]

Hi, great video. So did you personally design Pelagic Australis to be similar to Pelagic or is this a common design? Also, do you often have much cause to use the lifting keel feature? And, if I may, how do you rate the aluminium hull versus steel with regards durability and corrosion resistance? Many thanks.

[@MrTrapper28]

Legendary skip...er and boat. x

[@frovagiovanni]

5:51 I wonder why you decided to opt for aluminium instead of stainless steel?

[@adamcampbell4550]

Anyone know what tool rolls/holders those are hanging?

[@betopandiani]

Hello Skip, how are you? were are you at moment? all the best

[@rubennavegante3491]

Good design thanks

[@captainmike808]

The lay out is similar to the cigal 14 and 16, I think they would be better with the births set up like these two.

[@roberthowerton5738]

Hello Pelagic crew! Two questions: What is the thickness of the hull for both boats? Do you think you lose any stability or reliability with the retractable keel as opposed to a fixed keel? Thanks!

[@captainmike808]

I read a Q&A with Jimmy Cornell, he answered this question with, its not the boat it is the sailor. He took a lightweight Displacement boat to the Antarctic through the roaring 40,50 and 60s. He said he never dropped the keel. It was a Alubat Ovni 395. Compared to these two, that is super light.

[@mikemallery913]

For folks that film boat tours, please do a slow walk through from bow to stern and vice versa above and below, then go over the details, close ups on some random winch really don’t work without a frame of reference

[@samianssi]

Fourth reef in the main and bob's your uncle. They should sell t-shirts printed with that.

[@DominicNSX]

These are sturdy and functional sailboats, great job designing them! And no, catamarans are not safe, with a high center of gravity and zero righting momentum, look at all the tragic accidents recently!

[@movieklump]

Cats are not safe? You've got to be kidding.

[@timothyblazer1749]

@@movieklump not in high latitudes, unless they are very large and purpose built for it. Even then, the chance of hitting high winds in a beam sea are high when you're dealing with Arctic conditions. Remember..this is an expedition vessel. It's supposed to be able to handle anything. Cats have weight bearing, breaching and tripping risks which people normally avoid by simply not going to places where or when it might happen. In force 9 and above, in a confused sea, I don't think I would feel safe. So, under normal to medium tropical storm conditions, cats are great. Anything bigger or more challenging and in not so sure.

[@movieklump]

@@timothyblazer1749Take the Queens birthday storm where many mono hulls were lost with loss of life. It was the biggest rescue effort in New Zealand naval history. A couple were picked up off their cat Ramantha by the navy They thought they lost everything. Two weeks later the 38 foot cat was found happily bobbing around after which they resumed cruising. Tell those dead mono hull sailors that cats are not seaworthy.

[@RVLifeNOW]

Hi Skip. How much fuel do you you use per week or per month for your refleks heater? Every cabin has a radiator...nice! Your boat looks awesome! -Rebecca on SV Brick House

[@billdomb]

Keep any firearms or crossbows? Single genset? Couldn't tell what your heaters run on. Diesel? Dry suits for diving?

[@Frindleeguy]

Usually no firearms or crossbows if you're traveling. It a hassle at best, and can get you a lot of unwanted attention at worst. You risk losing them at every country's check-in, and you have a much higher risk of never seeing them again when you go to check out. A lot of cruising guides touch on this. Some people do carry firearms but it definitely limits where you can go. Plus unless you're American it probably never crosses your mind.

[@ppapdddar6159]

[6:57] Yeah! cameraman. Novak is so beautiful! Isn't he a beauty? Yeah, keep the camera focused on him, who cares about the boat the guy is showing?

[@operator0]

I see this mistake a lot on these boat tours. For some reason the cameramen seem to think the narrator is the subject, and not the boat. Hint; the most interesting man in the world could be giving the boat tour and we wouldn't give hoot. Show us the boat.
