How to sail a Full-Rigged-Ship - The Sørlandet Part 3

How to sail a traditionally rigged ship The Sørlandet is the oldet and most authentic kept full-rigged-ship in active service. She was built in Kristiansand, Norway in 1927. Every year hundreds of sail trainees come aboard to experience traditional sailing. No previous knowledge of sailing is needed, they all get instructed by the crew. Find out more on:

the zig zag maneuver is like drifting the ship lol

I watched all three videos. Thank you so much for this. I just finished reading Two Years Before the Mast. Between reading the book and watching these videos, I feel as if I know so much more. These seafarers, thankfully, are not subjected to the hardships of the crew in Two Years Before the Mast. They are most likely well fed, well rested, able to take showers, use toilets and have no fear of flogging. They do not have to round Cape Horn!

What a great video! I've read all the Royal Navy series' and puzzled through descriptions of working a square rigger, but have never seen a more comprehensive video of what is actually done. I'm planning a working voyage next year on a three master and feel like I have a basic idea of what we'll be doing. Thanks!!

River Dog how's it going?

[@thomasnuyts9725]

Great video thanks for sharing

We have a school ship for military cadets, named "Mircea, "A three-masted barque. Beautiful ship. She was recently repaired and dry-docked.

You can be part of the crew. The Sørlandet is a sail training vessel where trainees may muster on as sail trainees and sail with the ship. A program will be published on the site of the Foundation Sørlandet every autumn.

This looks like it was made around 2000, judging by the 3D graphics. The footage looks even older, judging by the dropouts and tape stretches. An interesting subject like this deserves and updated instructional video.

[@ValensRenvhaggel]

Loved every second of this... Part 4 gunnery?

[@begemot70]

Just returned from watching Tall Ships Race in Turku, Finland. Your video series is absolutely great! Something I was wondering about - the art of maneuvering such huge sailing vessels. Very educating, explains a lot. Thank You!

[@rjohnson0531]

Excellent video. I cried at the end.

[@nobody6546]

Incredible! Well Organized & Presented! Kudos!

[@Redsiana]

Sooooo useful ! Thanks so much. I'm reading the Aubrey-Maturin books and now everything (a lot more things) make sense. It's hard to find such clear and pedagogical resources on the internet, to teach us lubbers how to manoeuver a ship in a seamanlike fashion :)

[@diamonddog257]

...Frustrating......does 'Clew and 'Braille mean that you have more sail, or less? [ we are all allowed one dumb Question :]

[@frankatk]

diamonddog257 both mean less sale, square sail is hauled up to the yard by the clew lines, a brailed sail will be gathered back toward the mast by the brail lines

[@Voodoo_Robot]

haha, Aubrey-Maturin brought me here too.

[@harrycolby2302]

Great 3 part video... I love sailing ships...Especially Brigs

[@TubeHDR]

This is well done, THANK YOU!

[@alexanderblitz6819]

@ 14:15 Wow! The Norwegians had radar in 1927?! Great video!

[@Sidetrackification]

By far the best!!!

[@p61guy]

thanks again. I appreciate your posting this. Wish I could be on the crew!

[@eternalmiasma5586]

My goals are beyond your understanding

[@Mikdeelow]

really great explanation! but @ 3:02 didn’t the narrator misspeak? he said “the wind is upon the starboard quarter” and it is not?

[@steveh9643]

Any plans to do a video on how you would manoeuvre one of these ships in harbour as they would have done before engines were available? Maybe that is a skill that's lost today, as no doubt this ship has been modified to have an engine for use in harbour since it became a sail training vessel.

[@rudydalessandro1094]

Very interesting.

[@jangelbrich7056]

Yes, "spanker" is about the most fitting name for that large sail. Because if You do not haul its sheets properly, the "spanker boom" can literally _spank_ You or even break loose in the worst case. It is widely underestimaed how much force a flattering sail has, endangering the people and the rigging ...

[@aristhrottle7395]

I was reading 'Two Years Before the Mast,' and was like "wtf is trimming the yard" and now I'm here. god i love the internet

[@lucusinfabula]

I've just realized these are man-over-board drills; a subset of tack owed to duty of care much more so than the others especially in times of peace.

[@ganymede242]

So wearing is the same as gybing?

[@EnterprizeShip]

yes

[@getredytagetredy]

Rope on these ships is called "hand line".

[@carlmoot6315]

what they do two hundred years ago, when the wind died, and they had no engine, sit?

[@thorfinn_jorstinnsonr]

When you're Captain of a ship, that doesn't automatically make you Helmsman, does it?

[@dylan1476]

Helmsman is the man on the helm. The person who turns the rudder effectively. This is rarely the actual Captain.

[@TuckerJ82]

Captain takes physical command of the ship when she is docking or undocking.

[@jerryocrow1]

Doesn't a captain have more important things to do than turn a wheel?

[@mugismtv]

Anyone know the song played throughout the video?

Brail up the spanker!

[@jamalcolmson]

Who needs fall arrest gear, anyways?

[@mikearakelian6368]

CG Eagle should wstch this... Mybe they'll learn what there suppose to do...

[@edwinlee2343]

hehe the spanka

[@jthepickle7]

All I know is, "Hoist the yard arm." Nobody hoists anything on this boat. I was sure there was going to be hoisting. That Spanker gets a lot of airtime, wouldn't you know.

[@endsleighplace]

Hehe spanker
