Harold has been sailing and building boats for decades. He’s one of the best teachers you could find.

Hello Harold! It was great speaking with you this evening. Your boats remind me of the Herreshoff 12½ my favorite small boat of all time!

BRINGS BACK huge memories -- had one 16'-0" in the 80's

Do you know where it is now? These boats are built to last for generations. Many of our boats built in the 80s are still being rowed, used and enjoyed today!!

Great lesson. It is so good to see you being filmed from another boat, so often these videos are filmed from within the boat and it is hard to see what is going on. Also great microphone.

Such a great video. Totally under rated.

It's also worth mentioning that jibbing is when you're most likely to capsize the boat, break the boat, and/or break a skull.

@haroldaune9160 Ай бұрын

You definitely need to duck you head if it’s above the boom when gybing but most boats are not likely to capsize unless you are sailing in very high wind and waves. 〰🚣‍♀️〰

Thanks for the excellent video Harold. Just one thing ,I don’t see any reefing points on your mainsail . Any reason ?

@haroldaune9160 Жыл бұрын

Thx for your comment! Reef points are an option … they are standard on the 17’ sailing models!

@skeating2818 Жыл бұрын

Fine looking craft. Do the sails have reef points?

@Whitehallrow Жыл бұрын

Jiffy reefing is an option on all ceiling models, except for the 17 classics where it is standard.

Hello

@warjacare 6 ай бұрын

What if you capsize the boat ? Can you recover it without additional buoyancy?

@haroldaune9160 6 ай бұрын

All these boats are fully buoyant and rerightable but there is considerable bailing involved …

@hellapellanyc6465 7 ай бұрын

Would the Tyee be a better sailor due to more volume aft??

@hellapellanyc6465 7 ай бұрын

Also which model rows better?

@haroldaune9160 7 ай бұрын

The sailing efficiency of the boat itself on a small boat depends largely on the weight of the crew. In this regard a fuller hull sails slightly better and is also more comfortable with more than one person aboard.
