Sailing Vessel Prism Prelude

Episode 1: • EP.1 Sailing Vessel Pr...
Welcome to SV Prism. This video is all about the back story of the crew and how we found our boat. This by far is the the most wordy of the series but we feel this is information you need to know in order to follow us. Go to our website at www.svprism.com

[@SailingVesselPrism]

Hello all new viewers of our channel. I apologize for the audio quality of these fist few videos. Our audio mixing was a bit barbaric for the first few episodes so if you like the vibe of these videos but the sound is driving you nuts, please follow this link kzbin.info/www/bejne/ranFh5uMl6-Kh9E and skip to EP.7. You will pick us up right as we depart the US south and the audio is much better and continues to get better the more we edited. Cheers, Jon

[@penney304]

Well done, I know this is several years old but still very interesting to people like me. I've been following your adventures for quite sometime, enjoying every episode. I love Prism, if I ever decide to purchase a sailboat, I would look for one just like yours. Good luck and calm seas.

[@chrisryba6190]

What I like most about your videos is that you seem like genuinely nice people.

[@SailingVesselPrism]

+Chris Ryba The power of editing :) Thank you!

[@mobiltec]

I love your story. Your editing, story telling, music and everything about this video just sucks me in and makes me feel like I'm a part of it. Very well done. The work you do on your vessels is simply superb.

[@SailingVesselPrism]

+mobiltec thank you for watching!

[@markshaw9010]

Good job editing and photography. Enjoyed watching very much. Now i need to find a Hans 33. Been looking😉

[@2nd6months]

yeah.... anyone that is having the yearning is seriously going to enjoy this very well done presentation. Y'all have some talent.

[@gkarjala]

Wow!!! Just, wow. Thx for the ride.

[@SailingVesselPrism]

Thank you!

[@gkarjala]

+Sailing Vessel Prism (SV PRISM) I'mwatching again, and prolly again ... etc.

[@gkarjala]

+Sailing Vessel Prism (SV PRISM) That HC is a beaut, Bless her and all who sail upon her. Your Vids are beyond awesome, but the tunes are the barb in the hook!!!

[@Lehmann108]

Wow! Fantastic job refurbishing Tara.

[@Jfranke1111]

Thank you for sharing your story I have thoroughly enjoyed all your content. My dream boat is also a HC33. I have never sailed but through your videos I have been inspired to stop putting it off and pursue my dream. Stay safe and may the winds be in your favour. Greetings from British Columbia Canada.

[@qdav5]

What a beautiful boat! Happy that she found such a wonderful new home.

[@legend343]

Great vid.... Fantastic sunset shots... absolutely beautiful boat... Warren s/y Legend

[@SailingVesselPrism]

+legend343 Thank you!

[@BlankCanvasArts]

Tonally Awesome!! Praise God!!

[@DaveWalker58]

This video was enjoyable to review again after watching most of your subsequent videos from Sept 2014 CA departure 2015 thru Summer 2017 SC putting S/V Prism on hard. This really is a great sailing & cruising video series.

[@superbp1000]

Well produced!

[@SailingVesselPrism]

+superbp1000 Thank you

[@mattcwatkins]

Promising start. Instead of watching episode #7 on my search feed....like I did at #89 on Delos...I figured I'd start from the beginning. Bonus was you started out where I've sailed--the PNW. And the boat being out of Olympia just made me smile since that's where I've sailed out of most. Your discovery of...ummmm...let's call it "cooler" water, jellies, Shilshole, Ludlow, San Juans, etc. make me laugh.

[@josephjennings9]

Great video!

[@rem9607]

That is an amazing amount of work you guys did on the first boat. Great Job. Your current boat looks like new.

[@SailingVesselPrism]

+Ryan Meador Thank you, Prism is a 32 year old cruising boat and she shows it. We keep he maintained but she is defiantly a 10 foot boat. So from 10 feet she looks bristol, closer than that you will start seeing her age a little more. Cheers!

[@zeecarnut6635]

awesome videos you guys... i watched them all and really enjoy them. can't wait for more - while i'm dreaming to live the life that you are!

[@SailingVesselPrism]

+mike smith Thank you s much for watching, cheers

[@jamesajac4384]

Awesome story and video footage as well congrats!!! Fair Winds Peace!

[@jondelaine9938]

Love your boat! One of my favorites on KZbin by far. Beautiful boat, hope to see it in person one day. Have fun, be safe and love your videos and you guys as well.

[@youngypaul]

[@SailingVesselPrism]

[@BrokenRRT]

You surely got my sub! Grew up in San Diego sailing Hobies and racers as well. My dad ran 2 commercial fishing vessels and I basically spent more time on his boats than I did in public school. Suddenly we upped and moved to Las Vegas.. Absolute disaster to a young sailor. I did get to sail on Lake Meade some on a friends small keel boat but it wasn't the ocean. We spent a lot of summers in Tahoe and it was fun to explore alone on a 14 ft. But it still wasn't the same. Around 19 we lived in Newport Oregon for a year and I did a little sailing there but nothing remarkable. Spent most of the time on a fishing boat. I'm now 40 living in northern Arizona and after buying 10 acres of gorgeous property with a money dump fixer upper home I'm rethinking our decision. After following the S/V Delos and the S/V La Vagabond around the world I'm even more serious about getting out of here and getting us aboard our own boat! My wife makes a good living from home and can work anywhere! I'm a medical professional but should of been an engineer or machinist. In other words there's nothing to stop us from sailing the seas. My wife works way to hard for us to be stuck here landlocked seeing the same ole shit day after day! Your story so far is just as inspiring as the others. We are grateful for you making it and sharing it! Maybe we will see you some day in the tropics or South Pacific! Went to sailing camp every summer and At 14 my parents moved us from the beach

[@SailingVesselPrism]

+BrokenRRT Right on, the cruising life isn't for everyone. Sound like you have a fair amount of experience thought. Sadly we have met a fair amount of boat that call it quits due to cruising not living up to expectations. I tell people " Frugal Cruising is harder than any full time job back in the states. You will get less sleep and you will be more tired thane have ever felt. But it is by far the more rewarding thing I know of I can do with my time." Cheers!

[@normanboyes4983]

A very well produced and interesting video. You have a great story and I look forward to catching up on it all. Well done.👍😀

[@SailingVesselPrism]

+Norman Boyes We are editing like mad men down here! Cheers

[@kenmerrifield233]

Great video guys. Very good production and image framing qualities for a you tube series. Thanks Ken

[@scottycrystalpugh8299]

thank you guys so much!!!! We are going to NC Friday to look at a 33T!!!!

[@TheTravelingTogetherJournal]

ok, starting from the beginning. I like that your on the Ocean version of our current trip...kinda. Matt talks daily of us going sea bound in a few years.

[@jtcruisin7711]

Great video & a beautiful boat. Really looking forward to following your travels.

[@SailingVesselPrism]

+JT Cruisin Right on JT! We will keep them rolling!

[@wingnut8a]

Theres always room on my feed for another quality sailing vlog. Good luck!

[@SailingVesselPrism]

+Adventure Dork Right on! stay safe out there! cheers

[@user-wk9wi7ht1z]

what a wonderfull boat

[@mroeshman7118]

Jon: Boomer told me about your adventures aboard the good ship SV Prism and said I should check it out. This is way cool man. The scenery and locations are just beautiful. It's nice to finally see your girl friend after hearing you speak of her often when we were together for the filming of the Motion and My Family Recipe Rocks episodes. I see you haven't lost your touch with the video camera; I feel like I'm right there on board with you guys. I got a kick seeing you in the PFD Battalion Chief t-shirt. I should send you a Deputy Chief one as I was promoted about 8 months after your guys filmed at the Philly Fire Academy. This would make a great show for the Live Well network or an updated Jewel Of The Nile Movie! Take care guys and best wishes, Mike Roeshman

[@gimmia6163]

Great video! Thanks for sharing this!

[@griphen2113]

I grew on in long beach washington, mouth of the columbia river straight west from portland oregon. beautiful pacific northwest. looking forward to all your future videos, and hope to meet on the water some day. good luck

[@plstrom]

that is a gorgeous boat ! Nice vid too

[@SailingVesselPrism]

+plstrom Thank you!

[@sailingcruiser25]

Great video. Love the Hans Christians.

[@SailingVesselPrism]

+David Duncan We do too. Haven't been on a boat since owning Prism that we have said, "man I wish I could own that boat". Sure some a bigger and the space would be nice but prism is the perfect compromise in our opinion of space and ease of boat handling for a couple +1 at times.

[@sailingcruiser25]

+SV Prism they're beautiful. we looked at a HC 33, love the 38's and almost bought a 41. Ended up buying a Tayana 37. keep up the great work on the videos. I've been telling sailing friends to watch.

[@SailingVesselPrism]

+David Duncan Nice! Tayanas are great as well, faster than Prism for sure. Thanks so much!

[@NeonsStyleHD]

Awesome video. Beautifully shot, just love the quality of the photography and audio. The rythm of the editing was great too. Just some really beautiful shots. Sub'd & liked.

[@betty-loucreamer112]

Just discovered you too! I’m looking forward to sharing in your adventures 💞💞🇨🇦🇨🇦

[@phongdo8070]

great story! Im at phase one of cruising now, Im rebuilding a P30. Im looking forward to watch your other videos.

[@SailingVesselPrism]

+Phong Do Right on!

[@lrrcew]

Prism looks like an amazing boat. You two are very lucky! I also sailed at Huntington... its a beautiful lake to learn on.

[@SailingVesselPrism]

+lrrcew Right on! Home town lake! Prism is awesome! Cheers.

[@AaronHamm]

Just gonna throw out there that I saw your boat and was like "Those fuckers have an HC33T! Lucky bastards!" Have fun out there, and hopefully I'll be on the water in the same boat in a few years.

[@SailingVesselPrism]

They are great boats! We sure feel lucky to have her.

[@sfondry]

subscribed! ! terrific video! my wife and I are also planning a world circumnavigation and although we are a few years away from reaching the financial goals need to finance the journey we will be am happy to follow you guys along your endeavors! !

[@SailingVesselPrism]

+sfondry We live by Lin and Larry Pardey's mantra as much as possible "Go small, go simple, go now" Although we have a slightly larger boat 33 vs 29.5 and we use an engine. But it is defiantly possible to cruiser on $500/mo in Mexico if you are hands on and like fish! Thanks for watching

[@nightfury1318]

Wow congratulations on the HC33. I can't even imagine buying one of those. Probably be a month before I actually believed it even happened lol.

[@michaelcaton9358]

Really good picture quality....

[@SailingVesselPrism]

+Michael Caton thank you!

[@p100d]

Great videos!!!

[@johndonaldson5126]

Great video. Well done. The boat is great too. I would much prefer a full keel boat for safety. I once lost my rudder which would not have happened if my boat had been a full keel.

[@cometjockeydave4041]

I used to work for a sailboat charter/sailing school (Windworks) in 1990 at shilshole marina, and ironically the owner of that business was a major a$$#@@!e, amd he couldn't retain any of his staff. That's the first time I ever heard of anyone processing the marina's name quite like that. For the sake of info. Shilshole is in Ballard which is basically north of Seattle itself. It's still a close part of the Seattle urban complex itself. If you ever go back to that town Alaskan way is right o. the waterfront. although it very touristy I think you could still get at least a couple fun days out of that area as well as Seattle center (where the space needle is). Fair winds.

[@Guillo1]

Just asome!!!!!

[@blueskyredkite]

Really, really nice. I've watched a couple of your other vids before this, and this is a great intro. I subscribed after watching your most recent vid, and that led me here. I've a few more to watch, and I look forward to following your progress. One day I hope to do the same, but my wife doesn't like sailing so I sail solo, and though my boat is (allegedly) capable of ocean crossing, I want something a bit bigger than 29ft (8ft beam and no standing headroom). So I'll travel vicariously through your channel (and a few others) until I can go myself. Keep it up, I'm depending on you!

[@SailingVesselPrism]

What kind of 29 do you have? We have met a few single handers on nor'sea 27, PSC 27 Orion's, PSC flickas. I think the consensus is the smaller the boat the smaller the problems. But you must stay comfortable as well. I have single handed Prism a few times, she is as big as I would go by myself, but that's just me. We will keep the episodes coming! Cheers, Jon

[@blueskyredkite]

+Sailing Vessel Prism (SV PRISM) My 29' is a Trintella 1a. The problem I have is that I'm a 6 footer, and the cabin doesn't have room for me to stand. I think some of the Trintellas that made it to the US (or maybe were built there, I don't know) have a wooden cabin top, with a bit more room. Many here in the UK have a FG deck and cabin and it's not as tall :( When the weather's bad and you're stuck on the boat at anchor somewhere, sometimes you just *have* to stand up, so that'll be my priority number one for my next boat. That and somewhere to put a rigid tender, you can't row inflatables and an outboard is just too tempting for thieves sometimes. I'm still working my way through your vids, nearly caught up. I'm really enjoying them.

[@SailingVesselPrism]

I'm a tall guy as well (6'4'') Luckily the HC33 had 6'3'' headroom and with my bad posture I fit perfectly. All the berths are 6'5'' and that is what sold us.

[@homerfantastic]

Hi, recently found your channel and sub'd. I really enjoy your vids and wish you all the best on your beautiful boat. Take care, On S/V Sinner's Song, in Fl.

[@craigcampbell7460]

Just found your videos. Among the best production of the genre. Do you have training/experience with video production, or just talent? Also interested in the boat. Now that you have experience with the boat I'd like to hear your assessment of her strengths and weaknesses. Handling in tight spots, performance in light and heavy air, ever hove to,...etc.

[@andrewbarron8857]

Yup. Subscribed. Very nice video, nice gentle editing... somebody have experience with editing? I will definitely be following for more. And don't worry about wordy. I like the commentary. Thoughtful. Thank you.

[@SailingVesselPrism]

+Andrew Barron Thank you!

[@SailingPauHana]

Love your videos. Very professional. Would you mind sharing what equipment you use for video? Fair Winds.

[@SailingVesselPrism]

[@steveparis3081]

super bueno!

[@SailingVesselPrism]

+Steve Paris Muchas gracias. Más vídeos vengan pronto.

[@pawpardise]

Where are you guys now?

[@SailingLittleGooseBC]

Do you know if the HC34 has the screws from the bottom for the teak decking as well?

[@SailingVesselPrism]

HC34 has a core, screws from above always.

[@chrislubas7445]

Did the old boat sell within a month as the broker had predicted? Cheers.

[@SailingVesselPrism]

+Chris Lubas it sold in week!

[@johndonaldson5126]

Nice video. Love the boat. Not enough narration. Music too loud.

[@pastorglenns.dawson5870]

noticed you haven't posted anything on U-Tube in quite a few years, what happened?

[@sailingavocet]

Still sailing. Follow their blog to stay up to date. they sometimes make cameo appearances on our channel (hi, Jon's little brother here) but are still sailing.

[@svgitana2499]

Odd question, who plays the song towards the end? Shazam sucks

[@fromcitytowild]

did you shoot this with the Sony a7sii?

[@SailingVesselPrism]

+Tylor Frailey This is all shot with the gh4, We will be shooting all low light scenes starting this November when return to Prism in Guaymas, MX.

[@fromcitytowild]

+Sailing Vessel Prism (SV PRISM) oh OK. thanks for the response.

[@genrainey8394]

Wish Jon would take his sunglasses off, otherwise good back story.

[@jiefflerenard1228]

A great video very personal, but I cannot believe some viewers compliment the music .It is too loud over the talk and has a fanfare march or circus acrobats feel to it.

[@austinkaufman9402]

how did you guys afford this ?

[@BiznatchWang]

austin kaufman haha I'm wondering the same thing

[@viking00777777]

Music while you’re talking is a terrible distraction . It may drive me away . Lol
