[@brianbarney1885]

[@ButterflyMatt]

[@cryptoscalpers9603]

what a great commentry.....thanks for sharing such a pleasurable journey. Can't wait to see more. :)

[@pnh6999]

Amazing video, So cool!

[@serjasent]

beautiful video, you have a real gift for storytelling too.

[@jbratt]

Jase The Cat thank you👍😀

[@tomthompson7400]

first class job

[@lisabrenner5230]

Fascinating! I keep watching your video. are you doing again this year?

[@jbratt]

I am thinking about it 😄👍

[@derekjanzen9745]

A much better video than last year! Congratulations on finishing!

[@jbratt]

Derek Janzen thanks! Sailing skills are improving too which helps the camera work. Can’t wait to do this year’s video.

[@Братецревольвер]

What a beautifull boat! Can somebody tell me, is it havier than 200 kg, please?

[@florianmoritz2993]

yes it is around 300-350kg

[@Братецревольвер]

@@florianmoritz2993 Thanks a lot. It means that here in Russia you need license and registration for it :(

[@dondassinger6202]

How much of it could still be included, if shaving off weight to keep it and rigging under 200kg? To keep it excluded from that regime's regulations, if possible to build it under 200kg, that would be great. ... Maybe extensive use of vacuum-bagged and higher strength-to-weight s-glass? Lighten the mast and lighter rigging and sail plan? Reduce thickness and weight and strength of the cabin top? ? ? ?...?

[@stevensoutdoors]

Much fewer unsteady handheld shots this year. Thank you! And overall a great video, bravo!

[@jbratt]

Steven Hartman thanks Steven! With the hurricane we will see what next year's 200 will be like. I promise more gimbal and fixed shots👍. Thanks for watching.

[@jimyoung6344]

Absolutely good stuff for those of us that could not make the trip in person. Thank you.

[@sticky59]

Can anyone tell me the designer of El Barco Loco which features around the 7:05 mark......long skiff with a leeboard ??

[@jbratt]

sticky59 Mayfly 16

[@jbratt]

Designed by Jim Michalak

[@sticky59]

Cheers mate.

[@FargoFX]

Great video! Pretty sure that rogue wave at 1:38 is going to ruin your whole day though.

[@glennwoodbury7384]

I love the special effects.

[@jbratt]

Glenn Woodbury thanks Glenn👍

[@jayknight850]

Great video! We were there in the Core Sound 20.3. A good time, fantastic sailing!

[@jbratt]

Jay Knight We could not have had better weather! Hope to see you next year.

[@drunkengoblin]

hell yeah whataburger! true TEXAS style !

[@bake162]

Awesome video, make me wish I could attend on of these events

[@davelafontaine9832]

Congrats on completing the challenge. "Third time's a charm!" I look forward to your next vid.

[@alien_marksman]

'Candy-O' is a beautiful little boat, a real credit to your build, and to her designer. Fantastic video, and the cardboard model dramatisations are a delightful addition. A CLC Pocketship is looking a lot like the kind of mini-cruiser I'd love to have spending a weekend on one of the lakes around where I live. But alas Time, and Money evade me. Always seems as though I have 1 or the other, and never both at the same time. Keep up the great videos, and I'll keep watching and dreaming from over here in Australia.

[@RichelieuBB]

You said you were going to make a better video this year. Mission Accomplished! :) Very well done. Thank you for an entertaining recap of the 2017 Texas 200

[@jbratt]

RichelieuBB thank you. This is a repost in higher definition. Thanks for watching.

[@airwolf61970]

RichelieuBB I second that! Very good video!

[@mikewayer5828]

what is the texas 200

[@jbratt]

Mike Wayer 200 mile boat trip up the Texas coast done by a group. About half are home built boats. Check out their web page at Texas 200.

[@mikewayer5828]

sounds like a lot of fun i have a hunter 30 on a lake in AR now looking for more events

[@mayamachine]

Beautiful little pocket ship. Great animation , so happy your ship was saved. You know airplanes usually hand proped ones will take off and fly no pilot.

[@custodianvrael6471]

11:01, What on earth is that!?!

[@jbratt]

james parsons Not sure the name of the design, but it folds in half to fit in a garage 😀👍

[@2jsims]

GREAT video!! Thanks for the inspiration!! Now, um, to get off this couch . . . .

[@hoz49]

Very entertaining!

[@jbratt]

Hoz Holla thank you!

[@isumetebach8785]

I love this.. Do you a design boat..

[@jbratt]

Ismet Basri thank you. The boat was designed by John Harris of CLC boats. There are some great videos he did showing the first one.

[@hejianbomail]

I love your pocketship!

[@kevbjork1]

Great video, well put together. Thanks!

[@loganayers7851]

Content was great and the production felt very professional for the size of the channel. inb4 100k subs. How many hours on the build? CNC must have saved a ton of time

[@jbratt]

Thank you👍. The CNC saved probably a couple of weeks of build time. It took about 8 months for me to build. It was slowed up by jury duty but I pretty much worked seven days a week on it. I work from home so when I was not on the phone I was building. Right now I am preparing for a different 200 mile adventure. It is a 200 mile gravel bike race in Kansas called Unbound Gravel. There are videos on KZbin. I may make one

[@tonymindling1898]

Beautiful boat and great job on the video - very fun. Looking forward to 2018!

[@colorocko1]

Enjoyed your video tremendously! I don't know where to begin. What tips do you have for someone to learn how to sail? Your boat is exactly the size and type I would like to learn. Would a learn to sail school be appropriate? I would like to learn to sail somewhere between Corpus Christi and Pensacola. Do you have any recommendations to get started?

[@jbratt]

I am sure if you ask around a local yacht club there are a lot of people that do individual instruction. It probably depends where you go. Just talk to any of the locals with sailboats and I'm sure they will be helpful. I kinda grew up around it so I never had any formal education. My parents were champion sailors and my mom taught me a lot. Thanks for watching!

[@chadbbach]

Wow, awesome job on another great video! You captured the trip very well!

[@norml.hugh-mann]

I'll stick with the R2AK...I like scenery and 4 seasons each year. But to each their own...I grew up in TX and just never want to return. The sailing up here is hit or miss, but always has beautiful mountian veiws but frequently it either isnt blowing or is too stronf

[@andrewk.5709]

Very enjoyable video. Glad you made it this time. I am researching the CLC Pocketship. Are you pleased with it?

[@jbratt]

I love the boat. Dealing with CLC has been a pleasure. I have been considering building a Tri hulled sailboat mainly because I enjoy building boats and going faster is always fun. Check out this year's video if you get a chance. Thanks for watching!

[@ndsailor]

I’ve always hoped to one day sail in small boat company with an organized group, just such a long trip for me and my Mudhen 17.

[@vk2afl]

Well done, John.

[@wadetarzia]

Excellent work!

[@roydesignedthat]

Beyond entertaining and informing! Loved the little models! Thanks for the substantial effort...Best/Roy

[@valde2707]

Very interesting video indeed!!!!

[@masonturner75]

My hunter 33 was in Conn Brown Harbor and is not doing well

[@jbratt]

Oh man, I feel so bad for all the people who have suffered. I really got off lucky. Hope you are safe.

[@erisonluiz7848]

Muito legal

[@jbratt]

Erison Luiz thank you. 👍

[@hannahbratton2791]

Awesome video!

[@masonturner75]

How did she fair during harvey?

[@jbratt]

Mason Turner all was good. The storm went in just north of me a few miles and I had her under the car port tied down. Thanks.

[@BeachTyrants]

Why no new vids I enjoy them

[@jbratt]

Bailey thank you. I am about 30 days away from this year’s Texas 200. I have some new ideas how to cover it this time. Getting the boat ready now. Thank you for watching and subscribe so you can get an alert when I post 👍

[@Sailomatics]

roughly how many miles do u think you could do in a day

[@Sailomatics]

do you think you could do u could do 50nm in a day going at least 5kts

[@jbratt]

I did over 50 the second to last day and still had daylight left and didn't have the best wind. With current and wind conditions your milage can vary but planning for anything over fifty could be difficult if the wind goes flat.

[@airwolf61970]

love the video. man i would love to sail that. looks like alot of fun. if you need a crew/cook. id go. im real handy with a spatula:) lol

[@tomadams2319]

Excellent video. Great graphics and narrative. You made a real story out of it. I've watched several other Texas 200 videos and yours is by far the best! I hope you had fun in the 2018 trip and I can't wait to see your movie of it.

[@jbratt]

Tom Adams the 2018 movie is posted, Two Hundred Miles in a Garage Built Boat”. Thank you. I have some new equipment for this year. Check it out. I’ll put a link.

[@FargoFX]

Absolutely loving the stop motion animation. New sub right here! (That's subscriber not submarine...figured I should clarify given the subject matter of the video)

[@MartinTatar]

Nice! Got some skills there ;)

[@ClarkKulper]

"Ho made boat"? I just don't see how your promiscuity factors in to the build.... 🤔 Haha great video man.

[@Captain_Bartolo]

Yes, i love it :-)

[@BobLinton]

Your a hoot! (FUN)

[@Silent_Joy]

Great video!

[@jbratt]

Watrworld thank you 👍
