Captain Q's Answer Everything | EP 51

[@TheDugbo]

fantastic episode, enjoyed this as much as seeing the regular ones!

[@YachtHunters]

Thank you

[@surlycycler2213]

This was a fun video. I enjoyed hearing about you folks and look forward to hearing about Randy's yacht purchase journey. The thing i particularly enjoy is learning about various boats. In the next year i plan on buying a good used one for myself. (i used to live on an Islander 30). You have brought to mind some I had forgotten about or even ones I didnt consider for the type of journey i hope to take. For some reason you have found many in a good price range as well.... Thanks again :)

[@YachtHunters]

Glad you enjoyed it! that so great to hear

[@edhebert]

You guys are so genuine and authentic. Natural camera presence, and I feel like I’m among friends. (I’m not cool enough to hang out with you guys though)

[@greenwave819]

Yeah you are, as long as you show up with some Dinty

[@YachtHunters]

dinty or no dinty... you're probably much cooler than we are!! glad to have you aboard

[@915316]

I love the boat tours but, getting the Q&A with Captain Q and Ran-Day was awesome! Grew up on a Sabre 28 in the Chesapeake and am now passing the love down to my own children on a Compac 19. Would love to see you you guys tour one of those or a Cape Dory which are also very pretty classic vessels. Cheers

[@Nerd3927]

Monumental. This video is instant maritime history! Looking forward to the next 50!

[@YachtHunters]

More to come! as long as everyone stays awake ....and there will be a pop quiz

[@royzilko2523]

What a great episode! Thanks for sharing your experiences Captain Q! Can’t wait for Ran-day’s big reveal!

[@openup007]

Everything I needed to know about sailing I learned in the Sea Scouts and based on that experience, I'll take Capt'n Q to skipper my yacht any day, week or year... happy sails Captain!

[@paulhaas4299]

Randy!! You are going to find out why the best boat, is one your friend owns. A lot less work and a whole lot less expensive. Seriously, best of luck. I have enjoyed every episode and look forward to a new one every week. Thanks

[@YachtHunters]

Very true !shhhhh that's my line OPB, CQ

[@mattlehnardt783]

;youre not a captain when its someone elses boat. pride of ownership and the responsiblity with it makes a ship a ship. cant handle the heat get out of thekitchen.

[@YachtHunters]

@@mattlehnardt783 I say, roll out the sails and turn up the heat!!

[@jbird73]

"Like moving a whole house through time and space.." awesome description. I have felt that way on commercial fishing trips...

[@YachtHunters]

Exactly!

[@john47742]

I love your channel. I'm not a sailor, but I wish I had learned about the joys of sailing 50 years ago. I've seen many boats you have featured that I would love to own, but at age 79 I feel I have waited too long to learn to sail. But, of course it is fun to live vicariously through you and other you tubers. Thanks and best wishes! :-)

[@YachtHunters]

it's never too late!! maybe ownership would be too much of a hassle but I'm sure there's a skipper out there that would love some extra crew :)

[@margiegandy9189]

What? No way! Do it now! You are going to turn another year older anyway so you might as well fill that time doing something you want to do!!! Do it!

[@tdk1246]

Listening to the 'old timers' talk about sailing is what encourages my love of the older designs. They are solid, made with the thought of going out in the heavy weather, the bronze fittings are too dear for the new boats and the fibreglass is hand laid and thick. I sail my 78 Cape Dory 27 on Lake Ontario in 30 knot plus gusts and 10' seas. She can take it and thrives in those conditions. She's all I need and has all that I want in a boat. Thanks for encouraging these older designs, they are well worth saving.

[@xpatsteve]

I've sailed (or sailed on) everything from a Sunfish to the USS Enterprise (CVN 65) and this is simply the best sailing channel out there. Thanks for spreading your enthusiasm for all things nautical. Keep it coming!

[@YachtHunters]

Wow We’d love to fo the enterprise. Lol Episode woul take a month 24/7. Go Navy

[@nickparker5735]

Great episode. I like the tip about learning the language of boats. Early on my wife complained about why there were "so many different names for ropes" so I said "pull that rope" and she said "which one!!!". HaHa. Keep up the good work both of you. Watching from the UK sometimes means that some of the designs you feature are unknown to us but the essence of the episodes and the general information about design and history are always valid.

[@YachtHunters]

Love it. Great story

[@kevinhaynes9091]

Two of the most agreeable gentlemen on KZbin, whose knowledge, humour and generosity of spirit continue to be an inspiration. Thank you both...

[@YachtHunters]

that's very kind of you. thanks from both of us!

[@johnrathbun3641]

This was a very different video for you guys. I really liked it very much. And thanks for all your time and efforts.

[@YachtHunters]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@jona3117]

How does this channel only have 45k subscribers?? It is a gem, a wonderful place!!!

[@thomasquinn284]

Ran-Day and Captain Q are so comfortable in front of a camera. It is so relaxing to listen to each of them talk. You will definitely enjoy watching and learning from each of them.

[@dimtgco1428]

As much as I enjoy the regular episodes, this one was so heart warming, and as much infornative as the others. I can't imagine two more personable people, that work so perfectly together. Well, maybe Laurel and Hardy, or Abbot and Costello? An appropriate sense of humor is what makes tiring of these videos never happen. I really was touched by the purpose of sea dog. I keep asking myself, why doesn't he just have a real dog? Now I know. I share that pain . Lost my best friend way too soon too. I have 40 plus years sailing experience, and owned 7 sailboats. I've watched thousands of saling videos. This channel is 40 points!

[@davidpanek5741]

Congrats Randy, can't wait to see it

[@alanroberts7863]

Aww Bravo guys !! That was fun - and soo good to see you two blokes in your own settings. Captain Q - something would be seriously amiss with your fellow countrymen if there weren't free beers on offer wherever you go just for a chance to sit down and have a chat with you - and Randay of course :) And I'm a little surprised Captain Q wasn't asked about his time in the Navy - I'm guessing there were so many questions sent in that you couldn't cover them all in the segment. And congratulations Randay on the massive achievement of owning your own boat - looking forward to seeing all about it mate. Well done fellas - I enjoy and learn from every episode you guys make. Cheers Alan, Caloundra, Sunshine Coast, Queensland, AUSTRALIA

[@kenbaustin4533]

A somber, reflective and introspective Capt Q! A little different tone but nice. Always fun following you guys.

[@rodneyjaynes2485]

Thank you for being here! I really enjoyed this.

[@richardnixon4062]

Thank you for bringing back great memories! Seeing Captain Q on his Sunfish made me smile. The boat I learned to sail on was a Sunfish on a small mountain lake at Camp Greenville, SC. No one was there to show me "the ropes" so I learned by myself. Then my father bought a Hampton One, 18 foot one design sailboat, and off I went. It had a main, jib, whisker pole, and a trapeze harness rig. Took my wife on our first date on that boat. Thanks again for the weekly episodes.

[@YachtHunters]

That is awesome!

[@vanseventy]

Thanks so much for your channel Capt Q!! Keep up the adventure!

[@YachtHunters]

Thanks, will do!

[@gps831coast]

I really enjoy the other side of Captain q. The serious stories are a cool dynamic. Almost a whole another channel. Very nice.

[@omegaseamaster1550]

You guys have a pretty good gig going on there. Showing newbies the finer points of mighty fine sailing vessels. Doesn't replace a a survey, but even a newbie would be able to point out to the Surveyor what and where to look ;)

[@crwmdp9]

Love this Vlog! Two great sailors who have so much love for sailing and life.

[@eladioboss]

Amazing episode!!! Thank you, capitán Q and Randy for you humor, knowledge and kindnesd

[@YachtHunters]

glad you enjoyed it. thanks for watching

[@michynature]

They was really sweet and helpful. Of all the people that have talked about pets on board no one mentioned pet hair on the bilge or the possible situation you discussed so that is definitely something to seriously reconsider. Much appreciated.

[@jacobrothschild42936]

I love seeing that "Guns" book on his shelf! Q has a good head on his shoulders!

[@greghannah4837]

Scariest moment brought back memories of being alone in my grandfather 22' Beachnut canoe as a teen. Wearing hip waders attached to my belt i flipped it trying to untangle the anchor rope wrapped around the brand new that day Johnson 4HP attached to a side transom. Fortunately this was on the MIramichi River in New Brunswick where you normally poled your way instead of using paddles due to the shallow waters....except where I flipped (The Forks)...my waders filled with water and took me 7 feet down instantly. It was only when the canoe and I drifted downstream to sandbar that I was able to push up to air. Later we retrieved my grand father's tackle box from the bottom only to have its lid pop open a foot from the surface where watched some of his lifetime collection of salmon flies drift away. We had to take the motor in for servicing and I never wore waders again....50 years later I am sticking to the "no Waders" rule and I have vivid, non-fond memories of that time underwater.

[@YachtHunters]

bummer ....too bad you couldn't find a magnet to tie to some fish line and fish for the flies ? thanks for the memory

[@tigertelecom1]

Kudos to Captain Q and Randy. Thank you for 50 wonderful episodes. I’m looking forward to more. Thanks, “Old Snowbird Sailor”...

That was great ! Recommend for everyone to watch every second ! Thank you guys !

[@jeremyjames83]

I must say, landlocked in the far north I do enjoy the Captain and Ran-Day. I have watched every episode and can’t wait for many more. The education and entertainment is one of a kind.

[@randomtraveler3363]

I'm of an age where I also grew up sailing on the Maritime provinces of Canada and New England and appreciating many of the boats and designs that you have been looking at. "Classic yachts" always hold a special place in my memory and it's great to see so many of them still sailing and on the market for a reasonable price. Modern boats don't have the same appeal, they seem to be built more for accommodations first and sailing second. keep finding these lovely craft.

[@bradleypollard4922]

Thanks so much for doing this episode! It was great getting your insight on boats and on the two of you. Best 33 minutes on KZbin!

[@nick2300]

I really enjoyed this. Thanks. By the way every time I see the "Instagrams not a place" I laugh. How can I watch the same thing every week and laugh every time?

Joining the peanut gallery here. Great episode. Enjoyed it immensely. Cool to see the captain in his normal idiom rather than the showman he needs to be on the boat episodes.

[@tarttartin8216]

Loved this. I had a similar dunk, stayed on board, however different details…I was 11 years old, and doing the female version of “checking the wake” as my dad would say, he was at the tiller, we were in stinky weather, sailing our Pearson Ensign back through Plum Gut. I was crouched hanging off the back stay , when a huge wave just engulfed me, totally under water, when the wave receded, the first thing I saw was my Pop, white faced, grabbing for me. All was well, it took me becoming a parent myself to realize the danger I had been in. I returned to the tarp my siblings -five of us and two cousins were huddled under to stay out of the weather. When I remember this, I also remember the old drunk man yelling to my Dad on a dock in Montauk “ hey onion head, what are you doing with all those kids? “ my dad was a dapper bald man, but more importantly spent time with us, and gave us all a love of the sea….

[@YachtHunters]

Memories. Thank you

[@jdchatham47]

I loved your description of the favorite memory - mine was similar. I was about 25 years old on cloudless night aboard a 300 foot barque sailing up to South Florida. We were moving through, just SW of the Bahamas, coming up through the Windward Pass to Miami. Sails out, engine off, making about 7 knots - only the sound of the water as we moved through it. So many stars - just beautiful. I can close my eyes, now 25 years later, and still see it.

[@YachtHunters]

Spectacular!!! Wolf Larson the captain ?

[@jdchatham47]

@@YachtHunters It was the Coast Guard's barque, the Eagle. I'd have to dig through my memory for the CO - Maybe Bob Papp.

They have mentioned a few times, whether is was in a video, or in the comments, that she is still sailing today, and is harboured in the French Mediterranean. I think that it would make for a great show for them to go on a little trip to do a video of the old gal.

I really love the videos, this one in particular. I bumped into your channel around episodes 20 or 30 and binge watched the ones I missed. I look forward to every episode that comes out. Thanks to the pandemic, I’m working from home, so I can watch them as soon as they come out 😊. I can fix my self a PB&J and hear about the finer attributes of the PB. You guys have great chemistry and CPT Q’s knowledge of boats is just wonderful. You do a great job putting the videos together too. I assume I can give Randy most of the credit for that…? Buy the way, the on screen definitions are very helpful and the having them repeat every few episodes is great. Maybe one day definitions will stick… could happen… Anyway, I wanted to let you know I loved this episode in particular. It was great to get to know you guys a little better. And Randy, I am looking forward to hear about the boat buying experience. One day I hope to be buying a boat too. Maybe I will learn to sail first though…

[@MrHarley950]

Those are some awesome stories that Captain Q has about his sailing days. I can picture every one of them in my head as he describes them. You should write a book and if you do then let me know and I'll come down for the autograph signing.

[@YachtHunters]

Fred you’re very kind but I don’t think there’s enough to go into a book. Just being on earth for seven decades plus does load up hard drive but retrieving it and printing it out as a whole Nother issue and frankly it’s just a reminiscence of one person and as we know everybody has a book in them filled with interesting tails. I do admit to having been quite lucky in my life and I think that’s sort of the title of a book David Nevin wrote about himself
