You Sir., the master interviewer of My Classic Boat, should know, that the most lovable thing about your channel is that it really shows us(who are not sailors and nevertheless love boats), the true love these British sailors have for their little boats. Very rewarding to see these happy people sailing, for it is romantic and full of peaceful images. 😎

17:56 "Some people think it looks like a dog" wifey laughs "some people thing it looks like all sorts of things." MOST people told them they think it looks like dangley bits. That's why wifey laughed at 18:00 and he lost his train of thought at 18:15... cause dangley bits. =P

A very interesting video with two beautiful boats featured, however, disappointing to hear the misogynistic question by the interviewer at 13:50 - suggesting the gaff rig is somehow not suitable for female sailors.

Lovely boat and video. What was that long detour about Helmi? Didn't really give a toss. THIS video is about Spinaway so, you know, steady on topic gents. One good takeaway re: Helmi and the downsize decision is to perhaps skip the bigger boat and go with the gaffer to begin with. Less is more...when she's so beautifully and stoutly found as Spinaway.

@markturner4219
@markturner4219 5 жыл бұрын
A hooker is a name given to a boat that fished with baited hooks as opposed to nets. It doesn't refer to her rig. The term sloop, refers to a boat's rig. A sloop by rig is a single masted vessel with one sail forward and one at. Spinaway by rig is a gaff rigged cutter. In the days of sail, the term sloop was also used by the Royal Navy to designate a ship regardless of rig, that was not large enough to be commanded by a full (four ringed) captain. This can cause confusion at times.

I wonder, when they lower the bowspirit, how do they put tension on the wire that goes from the end of it to the bow.?
@markturner4219
@markturner4219 5 жыл бұрын
There is a rope with pulley that goes from the bottom of the bow sprit tip to the stem just on the water line. they use that to tighten it down against the force of rope leading to the mast head.

Other Yachts that have Bowsprits have Chains or Wire Cables for the Bobstay that have are a set length that can be tensioned using the Forestay that had a Blocks and Tackles/Pulleys to do it, now there are various ways to tighten the Shrouds and Backstays that are made of Wire Cables/Dacron coated that join together two lengths of Wire or the Anchor points on the Deck with the Wire Shrouds that you can Twist one way to Tighten the Shrouds up and the other way to loosen them off and the same can apply to a Bowsprits Whisker Stays one on each side of the Bow that is fastened to the Hull just forward of the Shrouds Anchor points/Chain Plates on the outside of the Hull or on Deck that then run forward to the End of the Bowsprit and the Bobstay that is attached to the End of the Bowsprit going down to the Anchor point just above the Water Line and the Forestay from the End of the Bowsprit going up to the Top of the Masthead (Sometimes there would two Forestays one would go up to the Crosstrees and the other to the Masthead, for a big Jib and a Flying Jib and the other Forestay that led from the inboard End of the Bowsprit to the Crosstrees carried the Staysail, for the proper Staysail Jib and Flying Jibs that all Sailing Ships, Yachts and decent sized Boats had, but some smaller Yachts and Boats Sometimes used strong Rope and a large Block to do the job of the Chain or Wire to make things easier but it's not safe enough for an Atlantic Crossing in Winter and Spinaway wouldn't be at Sea during the Winter months.

honestly i'm always stunned by the misogyny in this program. I work in search and rescue and many of my female colleagues are some of the bet sailors i know. They are bloody professionals. I'm talking ships storms and steel. They have handled mass casualty rescues that would make the presenter wet himself and never leave land again. so bugger off with your too many ropes for ladies rubbish

Helmi was an ugly old style boat Spinaway is a more modern long waterline boat like a Bristol Channel Cutter, and you are sailing with the engine running, Why?
@tomsalter7852
@tomsalter7852 6 жыл бұрын
805gregg The Medina has quite a narrow channel and shallow sides coated with thick, black and very sticky mud, so having the engine on (though probably in neutral) as an extra measure is no bad decision, especially in a long keeled vessel.
@markturner4219
@markturner4219 5 жыл бұрын
There's nothing 'modern' about Spinaway's design or style. It was in existence long before the style of Helme came into existence.. Also Spinaway is nothing much like a Bristol Channel Pilot Cutter which the BCC is loosely based on. Hardly surprizing as they were built for completely different jobs. It is also likely that Spinaway would have spent some of her time lug rigged if she was fishing out of Polperro, especially if built in Looe.
