What a civilised intelligent woman. This was so beautiful to watch given the world today . Thankyou for sharing

[@profiskipinternational4402]

What a charming lady ... smart, knowledgeable, full of humour and life. Tks for sharing this mile stone in yacht design of pocket cruisers.

I love that boat who has a very nice character ans soul. Inside is very gorgeous. Exactly the perfect size, not small and not too big for two people with a dog. Thanks to Julia and her son to introduce an art of life, so precious to day.

[@williamhoskins2300]

I just love this lady ! Hope I'm doing as well as she . Breakfast at lunchtime is a very fine Breakfast " . Too true .

Watching this July 2020. Just came across the latest issue of Wooden Boat Magazine #275. Several Vertue boats featured including #1, Andrillot. Thanks for the lovely content.

Glad to hear Peter Duck didn't really burn to the waterline in the south china sea. Lol Even now at over 60, Arthur Ransome is still my favourite author, and I have actually just started to read Swallows and Amazons for about the 500th time.

That was the schooner Wildcat. What a charming video, charming lady and charming boat.

What a charming video, charming lady and charming boat.

This touched my heart ...how amazing thank you so much....

[@coldisle]

I’ve enjoyed this more than once. An exquisitely warm inviting Laurent Giles boat…a lovely person like Julia sharing this great history…the smell of breakfast…and a precious sweet dog. Thank you so much.

A remarkable, insightful introduction to a family, and this proper yacht - And a pup during a brief ... “time out” - Thank you-

[@canyonhaverfield2201]

Most charmingly presented🎈Easy to fall in luv with this fine share🎈

[@jonfisher9214]

The interior of this boat is absolutely gorgeous. Also good to see Pin Mill after all these years. I used to sail a Mirror dinghy on the Orwell back in the 80's and passed by there often.

[@daviddagless9548]

I have just come across a You Tube video about a sailing yacht and it's owner, Peter Duck 1946/Julia Jones. In the story Julia Jones mentioned two men her Father George and Jack Jones her Uncle. In the late fifties my Father started a boatbuilding Company where Jack Jones became our designer and George through his Company "East Coast Yacht Agency" sold them on our behalf. Fascinating that through You Tube more than fifty years later a connection can present itself.

Charming story. Very nice lady, telling interesting things about sailing and life aboard. I have sailed decades ago and I believe yachting is more than a sport -it's a lifestyle.

[@RoryL83]

Her stories and photos along with the absolute elegance of that boat is incredible.

[@charlesdarwin4749]

What a lovely boat... thank you very much for sharing these sights and stories.

[@jupitorious7925]

Beautiful yacht

[@tomaswest6541]

Really nice video. The world is a better place for boats like Peter Duck and people like Julia.

[@johnprendergast1338]

Wow, I hope we never run out of these interesting ,pragmatic people and their boats ….down to earth romantics …)))

[@brucebaldy]

very nice

[@bertramwinslowiii2119]

Wow! A boat commissioned by Arthur Ransome - now he was a guy who knew a bit about sailing!

[@FubarGuy666]

I loved reading Swallows and Amazons as a kid, so seeing your beautiful boat that was owned by the author brought a tear to my eye. Thanks...

[@FubarGuy666]

@Kev Warriner Thank you, I hadn't read those, but now I will. I wouldn't swap a mobile phone for all the books I enjoyed reading when I was young. Loved Coral Island, I expect you did too. Cheers

[@Burvedys]

What a lovely piece of the video you've produced here! Thank you very much indeed and all the best to the skipper!

[@ericcommarato7727]

[@dman273]

wonderful people, beautiful boat, such history ,and of course.. Swallows and Amazons forever!

[@tizmon]

Thank you so much for the uploads with beautiful ships and wonderful people. Love the channel. I only wish that the cute doggie’s barking in the opening to be suppressed to much lower noise level so that I don’t have to sue you for my hearing loss. Thank you.

[@scottyg9167]

What an awesome video and wonderful story! Thanks!

[@TruckerOak]

Wonderful video! Terrific people. I thoroughly enjoyed this. Warmest regards.

[@wombatone5577]

That's my favourite cruising boat! So homely, sturdy and has small sail areas. I could even manage all the maintenance and I'm 65. Thank you 🇦🇺

[@scottmacdonaldart]

Lovely

[@TeachUBusiness]

That was terrific. Thanks for posting this.

[@paulbennett7743]

Jack Laurent Giles was an architect of beautiful boats. In my opinion, Patsy of Island Bay, the most beautiful Laurent Giles boat ever built - well in Australia

[@prof.heinous191]

Thanks, straight over to the archive...

[@arthuramazons2406]

Swallows and amazons forever

[@kimhorton6109]

I’m hardly a sailor being a car guy but I just wonder why there wouldn’t be a david that would hole the dingy in the back of this remarkable craft?

[@justintaylor375]

Untoasted bread... Rough

[@canyonhaverfield2201]

Wondering as you work detailing final copies..does your sure footed pawed buddy run in jealousy to your studio to be sure who is doing the adorable barks🎈Canyon

[@philipcoleman8184]

WHAT LENGTH IS YOUR BOAT, DOES SHE FEEL SAFE IN STORMS, WOULD YOU ALE HER IN BLUE WATER. WHAT IS HER DEPTH MINIMUM DEPTH ASSUMING YOU CAN LIFT THE RUDDER. COULD YOU LIVE ON HER, THANKS

[@timdaniel5395]

Arthur Ransome actually didn't like it at all and didn't keep it for very long. I owned one once … he was right!
