Hello Nick. Your videos make me smile. Thank you. I think your dog is having just as much fun.

[@onanysundrymule3144]

Very impressive Sir. Classic launch of vessel on sliding ways, lovely classic trawler footage. Thank you.

Faking not flaking also New Zealand's Lifeboats are also funded by donations and crewed by volunteers. Just being picky, your uploads are great. Keep them coming.

[@tommypetraglia4688]

When I was a tugboat deckhand I was taught many men sweating on a capstan was called Norwegian Steam, as reference to the Norwegians reluctance to invest in a steam engine to do the deck work

Absolutely Amazing!!!

[@cabinmadness1]

Very enjoyable....Thanks

Ooo I want to find out what happened next to Ocean Pearl. Will it be sail or a big semi diesel powered?

[@seanicky]

I think you know the answer now!

[@DIY-DaddyO]

@@seanicky yup, found her. Certainly done a nice job and she smashes through the sea. Looks really solid and comfortable.

[@caicaraskiki]

Looks like that Lifeboat swamped you unless that was taken from afar.

[@floydraser4603]

I'm really enjoying these but what are the chances of a brand new series?

[@seanicky]

Floyd Raser, Absolutely none!! I think we covered everything!!!

[@floydraser4603]

Ah yes, and very well too!

[@onanysundrymule3144]

Never say never Sir, and nothing is ever fully covered. You could do some videos about your restoration boats 16 years on, and your voyages since completion.

[@steve1978ger]

German lifeboats are also funded by donations ;)

[@TheGMEER]

steve1978ger And so are the Dutch KNRM :')

[@mabamabam]

And australia

[@Josef_R]

Wish you would have stuck to rebuilding one boat to the end instead of 3 boats you never finish.

seems a bit much
