Man, a small pocket cruiser like your Precision 18 is the most simple and practical sailboat around. No plumbing and electrical issues to deal with and still takes you where you want to go. .

[@jorgemolina1356]

That was one of the smoothest walkthrough videos I've seen. Well done.

[@richardliles4415]

Thank you for showing us the upgrades you made to your beloved Precision 18 Sailboat, it was a treat.

[@arnenelson4495]

Definitely enjoyed watching....as usual. Luv your stove build! You guys always rock.

[@gregwilson825]

Well done! Vivid memories of 40 years past of our Hunt 17 came to me with all of the updates conceived and built. That was one of the best parts of the era. Thank you for this.

[@deweypug]

These are some super ideas! I especially like the solar panel extension mount!! Thanks so much for your video post. We own an '87 P-18 up on the NH coast and we run her is all sorts of conditions... stable and easy!

[@saintaugustine1715]

That's a great stove, very cool!

Great ideas, specially the stove! Thanks!

[@elcruzador3795]

Love the gimbal action on the stove, AND you built it yourself. Lots of useful tips, great video!

[@danoyes1]

Precious! 💗 cool boat.

Awesone video, thank you for sharing

Outstanding

Thanks for the video guys

[@fredbiscuit...413]

Hello from London, UK. This is a very interesting video - and especially for small sailing-boat owners or users. More please! :)

[@ROBBANKS666666]

Nice setup!

[@jansveen]

Lovely. All you need

[@gharr1405]

Love the music there at the end

[@zbigniewloboda3393]

Great movie ❤❤❤❤❤

[@svslowmotion6611]

Great info and nicely set up sailboat.

[@CarvingAPath]

Funny thing. Just two days ago we watched your in-depth cabin tour video. Great video and also nice looking boat. Thanks for posting it. And also thanks for your positive feedback.

[@svslowmotion6611]

@@CarvingAPath nice, and thank you. I like it..its a nice little criuser. Where did you get your downwind pole or did you make it?

[@CarvingAPath]

We ordered it from West Marine. They come with only one end installed so you can cut it to the exact length that you need.

[@philiporourke7896]

Great boat, I think those two batteries could support a small fridge and I would get a small stove that runs on those small bottles of propane.

[@andrewhopkins7334]

I cant recall how I first found your channel, I think it may have been a video on how to sharpen carving tools or bowl turning? Anyways you have subsequently taken me on your wonderful journey I have learnt so much and it is like reading the best novel ever from the homestead and now to the water. I am here in the UK and previously have no experience of sailing (although I have spent much time in the Chessapeake bay area). I know there is a back story which may be difficult but to explore but please keep making these wondeful videos whereever they take you!!

[@CarvingAPath]

Thank you for your positive feedback we really appreciate that.

[@sailingyemaya9781]

I hope you do more sailing videos. This boat is set up very nice. I like that stern railing on there. I have a O’Day 20 I am setting up like yours

[@backtothebarky]

I mounted my tiller pilot exactly the same way :D great video! Subbed!

[@chuckthomas8176]

Very nice

[@dan519dan]

Great vid. I hope to see a video one day with more info like what kind of batteries and how big (Wh). Some info on water storage, toilet, and so on.

[@willcombs8157]

I would be very interested in a breakdown or short video on how you built the gimbaled stove mount. I'd love to have that in my Tangerine 18. Love your videos!

[@penhdog2207]

That stove made my day!

[@wilbertolugo8700]

Happy sailing se ya at the home shed soon we hope

[@darioguarracino8961]

Great solutions, useful video. Can you give me your advice on how to eventually solve the problem of a WC. Thank you for the answer

[@teapot27]

how does the lifting keel work? im looking at a swift 18 which has sink cooker and a RR jib but this looks a bit more races than comfy but a contender for sure.

[@harrycash8713]

Nice boat what year is yours and how much do they run

[@bubmedi7444]

Good luck and best regards from Libya

[@Friedrich2012]

Nice😊

[@shibuigardenbungalows0420]

Yomanbosun! After spending so much time on big boats, little boats and toy boats, it's not the size that matters... It's how wet you get! Obviously the positives of having a gijantic-Atlantic ship is having lots of useless space you never need... But it's there... The positives of small boat sailing is emence! Less and less again. Less $$ at the marina, bottom paint and of coarse.. The purchase price. When sailing you sit at the helm and the helm of a massive boat and the helm of a little boat is basically the same. You sit there... Steering... The places you can get in to.. Gunk holeing... Can only be with a little boat. Many positives there... In the end the size that matters is the one that gives you what you need... To enjoy the wind on you face and silently and peacefully take you to your dreams.. The original tiny home holds vast oppertunities ♥ ♥ ♥ love you Brother You should sell that stove on Etsy!

[@anonpers0n]

i am looking for a sailboat under 19 ft to spend a season or 2 on seeing how much of the great loop i can do. this looks suitable

[@lastoutlaw1000]

are y'all just vacationing, or are you going back to the homestead? i love all your videos, but i miss the carving and homesteading. The sailing is pretty awesome too, but i miss the carving. safe travels.

[@stephenwhittier6439]

🤗 😎

[@crawford323]

What year model would you consider the evolved design?

[@huntsail3727]

Found your channel and subscribed. I have a Capri 18, it is similar but different from your Precision. I am a daysailor, not a crusiser, still hoping to learn from your experiences.

[@TTM-GEB]

I love my Precision 21... Not much longer but lots more room inside...

[@hiervi]

thumbs up:)

[@radionb3i]

What brand of auto pilot are you using?

[@amyself6678]

Ive been fine without an anchor locker. Can leave anchor exposed and it's fine. Can have anchor in cockpit to make tossing it overboard easier. So not esswntial.

[@faizalfuad75]

Can i buy the gimbaled stove online from amazon?

[@mandomtn1962]

Love it! Now lets hear you pick guitar! I see those nails.

[@cadilacdesert]

Thank you so much for the tips and ideas. I have J 24 now. I am looking at a Precision 19 for sale and really appreciate the ease of launch and the deck stepped mast.

[@vickiewhite4603]

I’m missing the chickens just watched the coop build again

[@imansetiawan9318]

I can't wait to see the chicken's again

[@tomas8592]

Your little gimbaled stove is ingenious! True talent Have you made it yourself? Or you can buy it in a store. If you have, could you tell me how to do it? I encourage you to continue making your videos. I like them. My boat in jeanneau sun 2000 of 6.25 meters. Greetings and thank you.

[@el_Contra]

can you have a bimini on this boat?

[@nancytaylor8805]

I’d love to make some Lee cloths for my Precision 18, any suggestions on where to find instructions or patterns? Looks like the perfect winter project!

[@CarvingAPath]

The lee cloths make the inside of the boat so much more functional. They are extremely light and durable and inexpensive. I just loosely measured the areas and added an inch and a half on all sides for a good him. Then we got some grommets from Home Depot and with the extra thickness that the him added it made a really strong place to put the grommets. Anyways we are both sure you would really enjoy having some. Thanks for your comments and also thank you for your interaction we really appreciate that

[@nancytaylor8805]

@@CarvingAPath thank you so much! I appreciate your help!

[@CarvingAPath]

Let us know if you have any questions along the way. we might be able to help.

OMG!!! How clever is that stove?!?

[@Ecb2207]

Nice…i have an Oday23 in brasil…good vibe

[@mountainmandale1587]

Locust is bad to the bone! A great wood. As hard as it gets!

[@connorhus]

You need to build a little hen cage like the stove and always have a chicken with ya.

[@dansSawfish5604]

Good little video mister Path, butt I don't like Sailboats that's just me sail on.

[@CptAJbanned]

Using block ice and opening the cooler sparingly will last you a couple of days. The bigger the block, the better.

[@AmeiseWarkid]

luv ya ☠❤☠

[@lllfff3359]

U should get the stove a patent

[@doc8312]

Wow, my Havsfidra-20 looks a big cruiser versus your boat! 😳

Thanks 4 your Videos, I love your ship. You have nice methods how you keep the boat swimming, great .... keep it up! I´m a sailing musician, would be happy 4 your likes an Abos 2.

A shave and a haircut would very much improve the sanitary aspect of life on board ! Gee your girlfriend has less hair !
