Sailor lives Full Time on wooden sailboat in PNW

[@SailorBarry]

Awesome video! Thanks for coming out to see the boat!

[@Swoosh180]

Seen you on Magic Carpet..great rapport💯🤙🤙🤙

[@dancarter482]

_ENJOYED THAT!_ Different perspective.

[@nikolasmaclean4450]

Wonderful edit! glad to see such an awesome video about Barry and Hailey. Eloquent speaking Barry!

[@72Mrmojojojo]

Barry your boat has such great charm and vibes. I have a love of wooden boats. The sails, the patina and all the cool little features are what make your boat so incredibly beautiful.

[@hippyhay1659]

The "less is better" lifestyle has to be experienced to be understood. It's hard for people who've never experienced it to understand the lightness of being that comes with owning fewer possessions. Thank you for showing us your boat.

[@warrenclark3475]

I've been sailing for 50 years 98k miles and I still think it's magic, the lest electronics the better

[@Straightup-we9uf]

Great video this! No drone shots, no happy music tracks, just a minimalist approach, thanks. Yes, I read all that, but I don't click emoji's...they're lame. As a boat owner/builder 9meter folding foam and carbon trimaran I can say small and light is beautiful. I do far less maintenance than any yachty I've ever met, and I go more places. Plus, We can pull her up on the beach with a few inflatable fenders, a lot of line, some blocks and minimal effort almost anywhere which makes life way better. And here is a little story for you, just to put a period on my point. Two weeks ago we got caught up in 60 knots while we were hanging on a mooring in a small cove. 2 am, we started dragging so I fired up the outboard to get out to a safe place to drop our trusty anchor. Sadly we bounced off a rock on the way out which resulted in the loss of the outboard into the drink. Long story short, due to the light weight and small size, the two of us were able to fend off the rocks for a few hours in terrible gusts and in total darkness, get to safety, and soon there after repair the damage done to our hull. We found and retrieved our 15 hrs about 8hrs latter. All told, this mishap that would have completely destroyed many designs, cost us about 250 bucks to repair. Having sailed her now for over 20 years all over the world I have many stories like this. Click my thing if you want to see the sweetest boat ever built, next to my other boat that is, which goes on land as well.

Back in the day, I lived aboard and cruised the world for 7 years in a 33' steel pilothouse cutter. I cruised mostly in the least visited waters of the high latitudes both north and south. As Jimmy Buffett sang, "So many nights I just dream of the ocean, God I wish I was sailing again" ~Changes in Latitude, Changes in Attitude

[@badpirate2326]

It's great that you address the "Not so easy" parts of sailing full time. We all see on KZbin the pretty sunrise and sunset videos. but very cool that you can talk about everyday challenges. It's not for the faint of heart, but those who are strong, adventurous, and up for the challenge!

[@geoffreydonaldson2984]

Thnx for the tour aboard !

[@jujujay]

Hey dude. I’m 3 years now living full time on a 27foot long boat now and I love it…. Not the most easiest life style but as you know it’s a beautiful life …. Less is always more so well done 😊 ps nice boat there too. Slow and easy is always the way when it’s our homes.

[@AuLily1]

This boat reminds me of my first home. My dad repurposed a wooden 32' lifeboat from the 1920s into a sloop, back in the 50s. It took him 2.5 years to renovate it. He bent the ribs over an open fire in his backyard. It was his escape plan from his abusive wife who would hit him and my half brother. They both left the mid Atlantic coast, to sail throughout the Caribbean before settling in Miami. I lived on that sailboat the first 18 mos. of my life. My dad built a houseboat that we moved aboard and lived on four 12 years.

[@sreed8570]

To me having a fresh water-maker is one of the few essentials for living aboard. Although you can carry quite a bit between your tank and bottles, being able to push a button and have drinkable water gives you great piece of mind.

[@michaelward3826]

You my friend are living my future life, if there was more people like you in this world it would be a considerably better place than it is now, cool video stay safe brother 👍🏻

[@andyroach420]

Responsibility an owner of a boat said. I like what you said. I think reusing, saving and keeping things minimal is a good thing.

[@billyjohnskinner138]

I've recently been fixing up a finesse 24 clinker boat here in the UK, a little to small for full time living but she's been a great intro to the boat world, now thinking of going bigger!

[@matthewAnsell-k1p]

Thanks Barry for a great video and telling the reality of living on a boat.

[@blacktootherson]

Wow not just a wooden boat but an extremely old, traditional design. Thats awesome!

[@fosterkennel649]

Beautifully designed vessel years ago I owned a cruiser that was flush deck bill by Lester Stone in 1929 empowered by an old Buddha Diesel from World War II and Plank with Port Orford Cedar blessings to you and yours owning and keeping your Mighty vessel going

[@NorthEastCannaGrow]

I love your methodology and style brother. The boat is perfect.

[@sailingsitka]

This was an incredible interview, very worthwhile watch 👌⛵️

[@Twelvestonestacking]

Well sailor Barry!!!! How very introspective your backstory and reframing stability!

[@Olliebenn69]

Thank you. Really enjoyed your talk and boat tour. I live on the Isle of wight, just off the UK coast. I'm very tempted to move onto the water in a wooden boat. I'm a carpenter and a dingy sailor, I already live off grid, in a converted horsebox lorry. Your video has added to the want to escape further.

[@williewonka6694]

Thanks for the tour and talk. I'd enjoy watching you sail her sometime.

[@chicomojo]

"I used to be a vintage clothing picker." Wow huh no way never woulda guessed

[@katemiller8113]

I got to sail on Thunder Child years ago. Beautiful boat!

[@mael6834]

I follow Sailor Barry's channel its awesome.

[@juansimon7020]

Barry... your instrument to scape the rat race is one of the prettiest that i have ever seen. Thanks for sharing

[@chriscross9083]

Wow Barry you have it down to science, I had always dream of living on boat but after researching cost and maintenance didn’t sound appealing to me but you renew my interest by keeping it simple. Thanks Barry for refreshing my Dream.

[@SailorBarry]

Just be calculated and learn as you go and it’ll be awesome.

[@kiwi6444]

Go small go now. Love it.

[@murrat]

Sailor Barry is awesome.

[@ScottChichura-p4p]

I really appreciated hearing your open-minded philosophy about sail boats.

[@rollinronin8125]

The boat life is way older than the RV life. Probably people were boating before the invention of the cart or wheel. I am building out a cargo trailer. I've lived in it for 2 .5 yrs And as of late I've had no furniture that was not "permanent." I have designed a kitchen galley around a rv range. I've never seen its likeness.It's the catalyst. Can't wait to start the build.

[@georgewhitehouse8630]

Still the best superhighway for the world’s heaviest cargo

[@robertdavis5714]

I get Seasick...................yet I want to live on a sailboat. Enjoyed the couch philosophy.

[@thecollector616]

This is the life I dream of my grandfather lived and died on a sailboat I only wish I could do the same

I am so glad that We can enjoy our times

Great video.

[@NSP70]

GREAT PIECE

[@HiImNathan]

Great video, fantastic subject. Why don’t they head south during winter? Are they working in BC? I might have missed that in the interview. Seems like one of the best things of owning a boat on the West Coast of the states would be sailing to warmer spots in winter.

[@dikkind001]

You look like a nice guy. Thank you for the beautiful video. I live on a small steel yawl with wooden masts for 5 years now. Steel seems to be often overlooked or not mentioned. Which is weird because for me it seems to be the most idiot-proof material that a boat can be built out of. And it is so so much stronger than plastic or wood. And easy to fix!

[@unhippy1]

I've never understood why the majority of people are afraid of steel hulls......its such simple stuff to work and so clean to work with compared to fiberglass

[@dancarter482]

@@unhippy1 Weight and decay - shout out to _Bernard Moitessier_ as mentioned - he swore by his steel hulls but if you read his extensive work on the subject there's a hell of a lot to make sure you're doing it right 'cause doing it wrong can be fatal!

[@unhippy1]

@@dancarter482 There is a lot that goes into designing and building a good steel hull.....but the material is simple and forgiving to work once people get over their fears of it......and the paint and protection systems nowadays are outstanding

If you keep an eye out big supermarkets like Aldi sell the heat driven stove top fans ... They will push the heat around and you dont need an electric fan.

This sailor has never sat on a couch, what a hero. As he sits on a couch making a video to be watched on a tv. Not a single friend of his has owned a couch. 😂 Noted his buddy did all his basic wiring to his vhf as well. Ayay, captain

[@SailorBarry]

Sounds like someone who owns a couch to me ;)

[@rosstisbury1626]

Very wise words 😊

[@aquious953]

I'd add a hydronic diesel heater a generator and a watermaker.

[@dancarter482]

Ditch the woodstove for a diesel backboiler, plumb the hydronic system into it to share radiators - that's what I did.

[@DrMott]

Outstanding

[@apologiamixer]

Those who go down to the sea in ships, Who do business on great waters; They have seen the works of the Lord, And His wonders in the deep. Psalm 107:23-24 I lived aboard for about ten years on three different sailboats traveling between Seattle and Valdez, Alaska. Read the sailing adventures of Apostle Paul in the Book of Acts.

[@theshapeexists]

Im buying a chunk of land here soon, since a shitty fixer upper house is almost half a million. Its going to force me to learn a lot to build my dream, since the American government and greedy corporations have completely destroyed the American dream for most. A read that a child born TODAY, is responsible for over $110,000 of the mations debt. Thats ridiculous. The wife and I live a very responsible life well below my means and invest while making good money and buying a house just becomes more and more out of reach every year.

Here on the island. Driving boats, fixing boats. I’m a wooden boat shipwright.

[@CarltonGay]

Hi. I just watched Barry and Thunder Child appear on Sailing Magic Carpet's maiden voyage and found your channel by the YT algorithm. I am a dreamer with retirement in view. I grew up around the Florida coast, fishing, sailing, and living. This video about their lifestyle advice is sound and totally in tune with my future priorities. The interview, editing, and camera work are great. This captured a LOT of information. Thanks.

Victim mentality. I hate it. There are plenty of people who did not come from “ inter generational wealth “, worked hard, worked smart and now own a home.

[@SailorBarry]

Sounds like someone who doesn’t live in BC ;)

[@SailorBarry]

Around here you kinda need 200k just for a down payment. And when the first 25 years of your life are spent in a cult, removed from the world, the last 15 years were spent learning the ropes. I showed up late to an impossible economy. Not a victim mentality. Just my reality.

[@jonathanoasis]

Another misleading video as it is EXTREMELY DIFFICULT to legally live on a boat with liveaboard permit or even find available mooring balls except in undesirable anchorages. Various Bureaucracy, social apathy towards sailors, and NIMBYism continues to remove legality and availability of moorage and continues to pair down the availability of liveaboard permits. Without a permit it is ILLEGAL to live on a boat. Even when finding the perfect boat it is often difficult or impossible to find a long term slip as dock let alone get a valid liveaboard permit. Most harbors have waiting lists which are YEARS long to obtain permits.

[@Ja50nkAt]

Sailing, the most expensive way to travel for free.

[@SVOceanBird]

It’s the journey not the destination.

[@trebledog]

Oh man, this is really boring dude. Most of us aren’t stupid, we realize the philosophies inherent in resourceful commitments to living off the beaten path, whether by boat, by RV, or just plain hermitage. 33 minutes sound like preaching here. Why not just say, “my lifestyle, I love it, lots of changes, give and take. May not be for everyone.”
