Enjoying this series, Paul. I'm glad you had such a great time!

[@sailingduyfken5948]

Thanks Bill, cheers Paul

[@nesleinf]

Simply amazing

[@sailingduyfken5948]

Thanks Bent, cheers Paul

[@colrodrick8784]

Ta mate. Been a challenging time, personally, so your video has arrived at the perfect time.

[@sailingduyfken5948]

Thanks Col, cheers Paul

[@jamessandman3708]

It is such a beautiful boat! Paul, thank you for this look into this epic journey! I have really enjoyed this and I especially love the rolling ocean footage. I feel as though I am at sea! Cheers!

[@sailingduyfken5948]

Well it was definitely rolling and as you are always trying to keep your balance, it's a bit like going to the gym. I lost 5 kg in weight, cheers Paul

[@remyyamabushi1473]

Super aventure !

[@sailingduyfken5948]

Yes indeed thanks for watching, cheers Paul

[@TimsBitsnPieces]

Great episode Paul and lovely to see a few different faces and what they get out of sailing in a Tall Ship.

[@sailingduyfken5948]

Yes sadly the last Ep is on Sunday Ep 8 as we return to Sydney, thanks for watching, cheers Paul

[@CaptMarkSVAlcina]

Paul , would you do it again and do you still sail on her ? You are doing a wonderful job of filming and showing the wonderful life of a small Tallship at sea.

[@sailingduyfken5948]

Hi Mark yes I would do it again, I think I'm still fit enough and I regularly volunteer on day sails around the harbour, but that's not quite the same, cheers Paul

[@bobeden5027]

Playing with the sprits'l was a lot of fun!

[@sailingduyfken5948]

Thanks mate

[@dreweasterbrook2003]

IMHO this channel would be very well served with some drone footage.

[@sailingduyfken5948]

I know but I can't afford to lose one in the water like my friend did recently....maybe one day, thanks for watching, cheers Paul

[@malcolmrowe1794]

Great adventure Paul. Thanks for all your hard work filming and editing. Really enjoyed the series not sure how well I would cope on a tall ship.

[@sailingduyfken5948]

Of it's great fun Malcolm, cheers Paul

[@chrisstockman904]

Another great episode Paul. Great footage, interesting people and expert editing. Great to meet Fruitbat, another ex RAN JR still going strong!

[@sailingduyfken5948]

Yes fruit bat was definitely a character, thanks for watching , cheers Paul

[@olivei2484]

"This!" 😁

[@sailingduyfken5948]

Thanks for watching, cheers Paul

[@CaptMarkSVAlcina]

Hi Paul, I am not sure having the square sail square would make it easier to steer. If you do then you fishtail you want then slightly back. But this depends on the other sail configuration. You want slight weather helm.

[@sailingduyfken5948]

Hi, yes the Duyfken has a high stern and catches the wind a lot, in those winds weere getting a lot of weather helm as we were reaching, thanks for watching cheers Paul

[@robstevens5503]

In weather like that even a large boat gets tossed around like a cork. When do we get to see footage of you scaling the mast?

[@sailingduyfken5948]

Well Rob I was inducted as a climber, but you don't have to climb if you don't want to and with my dodgy knee that was probably a good thing. Thanks for watching again, cheers Paul

[@harbourdogNL]

15:57? Pardon? Not quite sure what you mean. Reefing has been around since the dawn of sailing.

[@seppoe]

Actually reefing was invented something like 1650’s. Duyfken has bonnets on fore and main sails and sail area was reduced by removing those; it was rather rapid process, rope was released on the leech and then it would untie itself all the way to other leech. Putting it back was then a longer process - perhaps the wind was not too strong to necessitate bonnet removal anyway.

[@sailingduyfken5948]

Thanks Seppo, very fiddly to put the bonnets back on, you have to lower the main course to the deck and in rolling seas keep it out of the water, cheers Paul
