This video (much like all of your others) continues to keep me motivated in completing the construction of my new sailboat, Kevin. I can't do any hull work right now as this morning's temperature outside was 0 degrees Fahrenheit (about minus 18 degrees Celsius), but I continue with small parts fabrication inside. Every time I watch one of your videos, I picture myself at the tiller standing out to sea once again. You have accomplished much, including your ability to keep this old fart inspired! Once more, I thank you.

Thank you for posting your videos! First I have to acknowledge the drone footage where you lock the drone in position while Ruthie does her thing, I like that. And then I have to say that as much as I like your accomplishment, I do miss the big blue with your tunes playing. I guess I really am a hermit. Please keep sharing! Maybe the philosopher will show himself again one of these days!?

You have so many great videos and series of videos to follow on KZbin. I was elated to come across this one posted just today. Its allowed me to catch up on exactly where you are at the moment. Tricky to do as you definitely don’t let the seaweed grow on the bottom of your boat before you’re off on your adventure. I grew up reading Joshua Slocum’s tales, all the books by Tristan Jones, Lin and Larry Pardy, etc and dreaming of someday following in their wakes but alas a storm destroyed my dream boat just before I was ready to venture forth a few years ago; the years rushed by and I found myself a landlocked grandpa. So, it’s great to be able to live vicariously through your great sailing videos. I didn’t dream that such able, purist sailors like yourself were still venturing the seven seas. Added congrats on being able to enjoy a recording career at the same time. Fair winds and happy picking.

Okay, I have now watched all of most of your vids, and part of all the few remaining. Exactly why I am so enamored of blue water sailing videos is a mystery to me considering that I have never been out of sight of land on a sailboat. I can't sail a lick, but I can talk enough of the talk to sound a bit salty.

@UUBrahman
@UUBrahman 4 жыл бұрын
Kevin's boat is an owner-built out interior so she is a Gilmer, not a Southern Cross. Southern Cross 31 - LOA: 34’6” LOD: 31’ LWL: 25’ Beam: 9’6” Draft: 4’6” Displacement: 13,600 lb. Ballast: 4,400 lb. internal lead. General Comments: Thomas Gilmer designed double-ended cutter with external rudder. Airex cored hulls. Two standard interior layouts - one with standup nav station over a large locker and one with quarterberth. A larger though similar Gilmer design is the Aries 32, but only about 20 of those were built. Pluses: Eight opening ports and two hatches provide good ventilation. Minuses: Some have owner-finished interiors of mixed quality.
