I can think of nobody on KZfaq who has so generously shared his wealth of knowledge on the subject of sailing and the vessels to do so. The humor and insights will be sorely missed. I hope he makes an occasional guest appearance, if for no other reason than to remind us of what we are missing. Fair winds, sir. Thank you so much for the time you shared with us. I miss you already.

Thank you both for the many hours of nautical pleasures. The wrapping-up montage made it clear that clambering over old boats had become something of a contact sport. Whilst we will miss the Captain’s charm, wisdom and effervescent good humour - the knee pads, bandages et al showed the very real cost. So I hope all will will join me in wishing him the fairest of seas and following winds in what he has planned for next. Randy has certainly taken the tiller and is producing great content on another interesting tack. Even if I never heard the Cap’n opine on the Concordia I do hope he will make an appearance again without having to clamber up a ladder on the hard. BZ to you both for the community you created and the interest you generated in old classics.

I really love the old pics of the Capt in his handsome young man days. All of us getting older types would rather be remembered for our younger years. I will remain loyal to the channel, love your working through your yacht, and am looking forward to your guests as I’ve enjoyed all of them so far. All the best to the Capt. , and welcome Capt R!!!

I have to comment on the endearing relationship between Randay and Q. This series has been about something more than just the boats, or just the knowledge gained from the captain's lifelong experience of adventures and pleasures under sail. I have admired the interaction between the two, the humor, the respect, the shared curiosity and imagination for how each boat can carry us to our different destinations. And it continues, from the long ago back story, patient mentor and enthusiastic apprentice driving to windward aboard the mythical Perfect Boat, now emerging into a passing of the torch. It is odd how these episodes of looking at old boats are tinged with little lessons about the the bonds of deep friendship across generations, and the joy of living.

KZfaq will not be the same without the Capt. Q personality. You cannot imagine how much I have learned from you all and the two-fer will live always in my mind thanks to your work. I used to tell people looking for boats that they need to watch all the Capt. Q videos to learn what there is out there for options. I have been hearing the breathing become harder and harder and Capt Q doesn't seem himself in this video so I hope the ol' Captain is doing ok. I know these channels take a lot of work and at some point it's too much. Cheers to you Ran-Day and what you bring to the future of the channel. Your efforts felt like home to a lot of us sailors and this cannot be matched. Look forward to the next chapter. Cheers Mates!

I grew up racing out of the west river in Annapolis and now it’s time to introduce my children to sailing. Captain Q you are a gem and I wish I could go sailing with you….and you too Ran-day! Thank you for your wonderful show! I just wish there were more sailboats in the Nashville TN area!

Lots of love for you guys and best wishes to the Captain in his retirement. I have always enjoyed his brand of humor and his historical knowledge of boats.

By golly, I sure enjoyed these weekly classic boat "case studies". Don´t forget to smell the Roses, Capt. Q...you deserve it! These were wonderful episodes and thanks to the both of you I have a host of metrics now like the capsize ratio and the comfort ratio (I have renamed the comfort ratio "mush factor" in honor of Capt. Q) to help me better understand the tradeoffs and compromises between stability, comfort and sleekness in the designs of classic sailboats. God Bless you both for the wholesome entertainment we have come to enjoy and the knowledge you have incidentally shared to bring so many of us up their own learning curve... you are both in our hearts and we will continue to root for one another! All the from Germany...

What a wonderful teacher you have been, Captain Q. Thank you for all of the wonderful content you and Randay have created. It's quite a legacy of important information and an invaluable reference library of boats, boat builders and designers. Best wishes to you going forward.
