The Schooner Prophet: Camden to Rockland

[@cellobob2358]

Super nice~ I loved watching the backwinded sail at the beginning. All those touristy schooners motor out....

[@matthewmontgomerysr.9735]

What a beautiful schooner. Nothing like a wooden hull slicing thru the water. And the wind pushing on the sheets. Nothing better in the world . Takes ya back when the great sailing ships ruled the seas. When ships were wood and men made out of steel.

[@aaronbrakel2722]

Wow, thanks for taking us along. Great camera work and shot choices. You really showed her off.

[@CaptOutlandish]

Thanks! I tried to capture the sail from as many angles as possible.

[@Tony-kl5tz]

Beautiful. My father owned and captained a trading schooner in the West Indies. It had a Kelvin 3 cylinder 66 hp side drive.

[@utoobuser206]

Beautiful. ..thanks for the ride!

[@henryp.berthiaume7151]

Great video. Next best thing to being there, without the worries.

[@pdutube]

Wow that was magical, what a great ship!

[@rimasmeleshyus9486]

Nice schooner, thanks for sharing

[@tomcronin8157]

Backing the main and scrambling back to the tiller......memories!

[@meadmaker4525]

Looks like Prophet has a really bluff bow and a broad beam for a pinky. Really beautiful. What are her dimensions, if you don't mind me asking? Of all the schooner types, pinkies are probably my favorite. I've watched videos of Ardelle and Tiger over and over and over again. Just beautiful lines. Any chance of a tour below decks at some point? Thanks for taking us along for the ride!

[@CaptOutlandish]

Pinky’s are known for their bluff bows and broad beam, it’s typical of the design type. I highly recommend reading “American Sailing Craft” by Howard Chappelle, it has a whole chapter on Pinky schooners

Great stuff, Thanks John!

My heart and soul ache to be out sailing on the water. There is a peace there that I can’t find on dry land.

[@MilledSteel]

Beautiful boat

[@Bingusginghs]

Wonder how much upkeep costs annually on something like that

[@danoyes1]

You tube will only let me thumbs up this video once... no matter how many times I watch it 😡

[@CaptOutlandish]

Thanks Dan!

[@scomo532]

Pinky schooner, sailed on one for 5 days in the Chessie. We put up all the laundry on the last day sailing into Annapolis

[@MinSredMash]

Interesting how this craft looks so graceful and fanciful from outboard. But the view from the deck shows how utilitarian and pragmatic it is. You might think it was a gundalow or more prosaic vessel unless you knew better.

Art to be a sailor.. 👋😀

[@adamhofer6471]

Werry nice! If got a 28foot gaffkutter ts more work but more fan.thank you for this clipp.

[@bustercrabbe8447]

Resembles the FAME out of Salem, MA. A privateer from 1814. I think they were called 'pinkeys'? O.K. I was close. That vessel type is called a 'Pink' (French pinque; Italian pinco). A Mediterranean design with lantern sails, rerigged in schooner configuration.

[@CaptOutlandish]

The PROPHET is a more accurate Pinky schooner than either the FAME or ARDELLE. The PROPHET has no motor, no electrical at all, everything is traditional. Tom based the whole boat on the research of Howard Chappelle, he even fell his own trees to build the PROPHET. A Privateer is just a private vessel that leases itself out to a government to be used for war. Any vessel can be used as a Privateer. The FAME like to claim their heritage to the War of 1812, but the Pinky design is much older than that.

Mooi schip. Zeilt als een tierelier.

Not a bad way to live with Steady cargo

[@wallycleaver8267]

Good luck getting insurance.. Maybe become a 'free trade enthusiast'.

[@RolandLowhorn]

@@wallycleaver8267 good luck collecting insurance the insurance is never for the payer Also insurance is not Healthcare Insurance's for someone who wants to invest but they don't want to use their own money

[@CaptOutlandish]

Tom doesn’t haul cargo, he is a wood worker. He has a little shop in Camden where he makes wooden furniture when he’s not working and sailing on the PROPHET

[@FixNewsPlease]

Makes me long for the water. :/

[@billbess5580]

My kind of sailing

[@anansi1641]

Not a single profile shot to c what the ship açtually look like from Bow to Stern!

[@CaptOutlandish]

If you watched the beginning you would see it! It’s hard to not be on the boat your are sailing on though, it’s true.

[@anansi1641]

@@CaptOutlandish Seriously SORRY. The comment was Absolutely not meant for u. It was posted for another vid in my viewing queue. the almost 45 mim vid didn't show any profile pics. I couldn't believe that, so I reviewed the vid and saw that there were indeed some poorly framed long distance profile shots -- but nothing compared to ur closeups. I then DELETED the comment. I honestly don't know if there was some glitch that caused the comment to end up in ur thread.

[@CaptOutlandish]

You would like the yawlboat (the little dory we motor out in) it has a 100 year old gasoline single cylinder motor!

Camera work makes me sea sick

That was a calm day! Must be a land-lubber!

The sound of that engine is from my childhood in the Baltic, bigger engines with less revs but the sound is still there. This one of them. fi.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaljaasi_Valborg
