Safe sailing.
Boat:
White Shadow is a Van De Stadt ‘Seal’ 36 (11 metres). She is hand made in steel, 2004, with a round bilge (hull) and a modified coach roof. This makes her a ‘one off’ and in my opinion the most beautiful Van De Stadt 36 ever built.
The camera gear:
Main camera is a Canon 220d with a Rode External mic with a sponge and dead kitten attached.
Action, underwater scenes and small blogging is done with two Osmo action cams. Some boat shots are done with a Dji gimbal camera. I also use an Insta 360 and have two drones, a Magic mini2 and Mavic pro
Editing:
Final cut pro on a Macbook. Most of the material for each video is filmed over a period of several weeks or so and the editing of each episode is normally done over a day. This process can take longer if original music is used or permissions are needed for copyrighted materials etc. Much time is spent sorting out technical problems. In this case I normally get the help of a younger person who understands computerie stuff!
There are also times when filming, editing and uploading is not possible due to being at sea or in locations with no internet access.
Content:
I have found that filming and releasing material over a period of time is better than doing ‘vlog’ style videos and trying to make episodes out of whats happened in a week, regardless if it’s good content or not. By filming over a period of time I can be more selective in what goes into each video. My aim is to avoid ‘bland and mundane’ and have at least one or two exciting and interesting events in every video. Every video has to be entertaining.
Comments and being at sea:
I love reading your comments. Most weeks Im able to read everyone. I cant reply to everybody but I do read and enjoy them. Keep them coming! There are times that It might seem I'm not on the internet for certain periods, this is normally when Im at sea on passage. While Im out on the Ocean I have completely no communications with the outside World.

Cutting the anchor free was called slipping the cable. In old sailing ships it was done often, but a float was attached so the ship could return and pick up its anchor after the danger had passed. Keep an old fender in your chain locker.

[@boathousejoed1126]

Damn Barry,that foot sent chills through me.Since you teased, there will be a next video.I'll assume you're still alive!😮

[@e.t.calledme]

I don't keep up with Barry's "real-time" platforms, but the AIS shows White Shadow in a marina in Darwin for the the last approx. 3 months. The marina is not far from a major airport. Speculating here that Barry done took a trip somewhere. Again, I don't follow his real time platforms. 😎 Had to come back and comment on his "out-of-water" bilge, full of water, "out of water." 😂

Love boat repair videos. Keep it up!

[@travelingtimothy]

Wow you have some challenges ahead!

[@catherinesecula5287]

Proper working shoes are mandatory in most boat yards nowdays , i know it is hot and humid in Bundy ..but small accident happen so quicky , same with gloves , best to wears them even around anchor chain ,and anywork with grinder or hammer , ect ..all the best in your recovery .

[@scotexscarrier8461]

yep walking around in that gravel in flip flops, accident waiting to happen

Steel boats = constant maintenance battling the never ending fight with rust, it takes a special kind of person to buy a steel boat, I think the word is masochist. Always on the hard, absolute nightmare

[@leecudmore-ray6697]

A true masochist is a wooden boat owner...........

[@zoidberg444]

I didn't realise they were quite that bad. Damn...

[@Antipodean33]

@@leecudmore-ray6697 Maybe but at least a wooden boat is beautiful

[@stuartrobertson6882]

When you spend the whole night getting bashed up onto a reef and as the sun comes up on the high tide you pop upright into the lagoon, hoist your sails and sail away, you thank your steel boat.

[@NiKa-yq6ev]

@Antipodean33 if you have a something, of what material ever, you will have to maintain it; in it's special way the something requires.. you got well maintained steelboats from 100 + years as well as wooden ones. Just saying ;)

[@Catch-dont-fish]

Whenever you have parts left over after a repair, youre reducing weight. Barry, YOU NOW HAVE A RACE BOAT!😊

I also enjoy walking around boatyards and seeing the variety of vessels on the hard.

Always a great show Barry .Maintenance and repairs are important .Just the same as owing a house .I think your life is a better one .

[@matthewbaynham6286]

I'll make sure I watch your next episode when I'm not eating my lunch.

[@kurtism9040]

I totally agree with you about needing a Scag in front of or under a rudder. The only thing I don't like about that very long skeg is that it needs to have one more vertical support in front of the rudder just for strength without depending on the rudder for that strength.

[@geezenslaw]

Shazam Barry... always something happening to you not the best... I'll be here when you return... on the edge of my seat now... Fair Winds...

[@MrArne100]

" Hemma" is the Swedish word for home

[@ducatiparts966]

that garcia has twin rudders to stabilize it when you dry it out. it can take the weight, very imporessive boats.

[@okcantbelieveit294]

That leg reminded me of when I ended up in hospital in Mount Isa. NW Queensland. I was working in one of the mines there. I nicked the front of my leg on, of all things, a piece of cardboard. Infection set in and before I knew it I was in hospital with my legs elevated and on a continuous antibiotic drip in one arm and a shunt in the other through which I had a two hourly antibiotic shot as well. A surgeon said to me, ‘welcome to the amputation capital of Australia, you were within a couple of hours of us taking both your legs off at the knee’! There were six of us in this hospital room, five with freshly amputated legs! Made me very aware of what could have happened! I was in there for six days and I’ve had recurring problems ever since! That was over fourteen years ago! The tropics can be a dangerous place to get an infection.

Great video Barry....... Thanks

You old planner breaking down in hometown of Bundeberg rum!

[@ВладиславКононов-л5н]

You can easily beach Garcia exploration . Her ruddera are designed for this. It's a beautiful boat, Jimmy Cornell did a good job on it.

[@jeffrandolf5673]

13:00 Instead of filler... swap the pan head bolts out with flat heads & finish washers, thru-bolted. Or flat head self tappers, finish washers & some 5200 to seal it up & help hold them in place.

[@samwisegamdschie9952]

Oh my god, that Garcia exploration is a dream boat. 💗

Thank you for sharing your life with us you got us addicted to sailing videos stay safe Barry!!

[@pierrevanderdeure8164]

Sad looking foot Barry 😰. Anyway, the fight against rust seems endless. I definitely will never buy a steel boat 😉

[@mattyg499]

Yes,and in UK now many boat yards dont allow grinding ect.Have to build an expensive tent over it…..

[@hakanostberg]

Hemma means home in Swedish. There was a Royal Swedish sailing club sticker at the bow.

Nice video

[@bendaves77]

My dad was a over the road truck driver. He ran from the midwest to California and back every week.. in the early 90s he was in southern California and fell asleep, had the windows down. Woke up threw on his clothes and then threw on his footwear.. turned out that a brown recluse spider had found his shoe quite a lovely place to stay. It of course bit him, he never did see the spider but he got home 3 days later and his foot was the size of yours and it was weird colors.. luckily he didn't loose the foot but after that he always stuck a clean rag in his shoes and tipped them upside down and smacked him to make sure nothing was in there

Hi, Before you fit the new sounder, check what mastic you should use. Plastics can be affected by using the incorrect mastic. The supplier should know,

[@manmadegods021]

Yes that saying something! boat flooding while it's out of the water 😂

[@andersnilsson6625]

Yes Barry, that is an older Hallberg Rassy, and you are so right. It's the one you should have bought from the start, so you wouldn't have had to constantly hunt for rust. 🇸🇪💕😄😀❤

Great to see you again, Barry! I like your yard period video's. I always learn something by watching and listening to you take on those projects. Take it slow by easy now. Looking forward to next episode. 🍻

[@burlatsdemontaigne6147]

God knows why you chose Bundaberg to haul out and spend time.Absolutely baffling!

[@californiakayaker]

One of the boaters left his boat in NZ and went back to the States SDiego and came back to that and much more. He discovered that so much water had infiltrated via the deck that the deck was now soft ! Plus, it nearly wrecked a radio ect. Expensive HF. Lots of rain there and that year they even had a Typhoon !

[@Duartechamps]

Ohhh. I hope you are recovering well. So sorry to see your foot like that. You are a genuine sea rock star!

[@gregj4857]

Ouch, I hope your foot gets better soon

[@jasonharris9797]

"The last time it looked like that" sounds like an amputation. I hope not! My uncle has had both legs amputated...

Lots of work for your lovely boat Barry. That brings some satisfaction and of course hard work.

Loved the Boatyard Tour. Great anchor chain tip, too. You are a genuine sea rock star. Very Good video, again.

[@Tintenfinger]

A really interesting episode, thank you! Thanks a lot, too, for the tip with the carabiner as the ultimate safety precaution at the end of the anchor chain.

[@TheRattyBiker]

In the nicest way possible Barry - I hope you don't come back to the UK / The West anytime soon!!! I know you had a horrific experience in the Pacific - but please for God sake endure some Pacific woes for at least the next 2 years - home really isn't worth coming to at the moment!!!

[@TheRattyBiker]

Note: I'm sure others would agree! Don't come back unless you intend of getting yourself Afghani citizenship and approaching the UK in "Rubber Dhingy Rapids Bro!!!" With the whole Middle East scenario you may well be better heading back via the North Pacific..... No doubt A Stomach churning proposition BUT far better than the alternatives!!!

[@danoalex2977]

Lol, no different in the USA.Getting a sailboat and being in the ocean is truly the safest place to be currently, I envy sailors but do have the dough to be one now.

Why do i love these videos ? Is it because Barry is an extraordinary human being! Must convert him to Vegan Beer and Pizza !

”Hemma” is Swedish and it means ”home” so not that bad name after all. Thanks for the episode

[@alistairclyne9362]

Thoroughly enjoyed that video Barry 😊 … great tip about the anchor chain 👍

[@SVSeaChange]

Since you like a 3/4 fin keel and a full strut supporting the rudder you would like the underbody design of the Pacific Seacraft 34 that I have, identical in design to the 31 and the 37. By the way, when Bob Perry was designing the ultimate carbon fiber 60 ft cruiser he added a strut like that one boat that stretches from the back of the keel to the rudder strut, and called it a chastity strut, because without it you are f.

[@mikeprodanov6765]

Get well soon, Barry!

[@marxtr6]

Wishing you quick healing Barry. That doesn’t look good

[@ross82]

This was a really relaxing video about the other side to boating. Well done.

[@frankdovle978]

You should use proper sandals instead of those flipfloppers you have ( yes they are cheap but not good in the long run). Ptiy though its so long distance otherwise Id coming by and Cheered you up with some cans of beers. Hope everything goes well with your foot. Cheers. 👍

[@farrellko]

Ok - Orcas (off Spain) don't care what type of rudder you have. They have disabled full keelers as well as spade. Also talk to any yacht designer about hull windows - the bonding between the window and hull is usually stronger than the hull itself. If you lose one you have bigger problems. You should have gone for a Najad or maybe a moody. More efficiency so less miles at sea, less maintenance so you have more beer time. But hindsight is easy.

[@Lilienzaehmer]

good luck with overhauling the boat

[@123turby]

Always something we don’t expect. I just got something I don’t wish on anyone but I’m going to fight like hell. And I pray for your quick healing. On the brighter side you being British, I’m going to brag a little. My second granddaughter 6 month old was featured in the British Vogue December issue. And we live in Toronto Canada. We were just chucked. Take care Barry all the best lad.

[@rvrrat1977]

There’s a KZbin video about “Taku Tori” from ten years ago kinda cool. The channel is “William Tait”

[@opus2006]

Bloody hell, had heard you had had leg problems and looking forward to, and dreading, the next episode. Hopefully you're back on your pegs again. The boatyard trip had some lovely and tragic craft, and intrigued by future full-keel adventures. Thank you for another excellent video.

I love boat yards! Thankyou of explaining all that u saw

[@ianbell5611]

Wow hope your foot/ leg healed up okay. Melioidosis bacteria? Emergency release of your anchor cable/chain. In the Australian navy they use what's known as a Blake slip also known as a Senhouse slip to secure the anchors when at sea, it is used to slip the anchor not in the cable/chain locker but may be a good option theyre solid and only require the removal of mauzing wire securing a pin then tap out the pin then a hit with a hammer. Or the above in conjunction with a lugged joining shackle. Easy to flood a bilge on a ship when up on the hard, fresh water and fire main systems are still charged. Cheers

[@busterhyman6638]

Barry , when you paint the bottom,,, put chyanne pepper 🌶 in your bottom paint ,, will keep anything wanting to attach to it,, I had a 40ft tri hull and tryed it 3 years an nothing on bottom, only on prop and shaft,, hope it will help ,,,,don't be shy on the chyanne !!

I bet that expedition yacht needs the bow thruster with that extended forefoot.

[@darthkek1953]

If bow thrusters are cheating, so are engines. And fibreglass.

[@MrRugbylane]

The Orca rudder fixation is a real problem i think if i was having a boat built id have the rudder framed and protected

[@MrRugbylane]

@@SayWhut276 im not sure you are up to speed on this. In 2020 Orcas started attacking sailing boats off NW Spain and this behaviour has spread to the Gibraltar straits. Dozens of boats have suffered damage from attacks and several have been sunk.
