Congratulations and best of luck with your Vertue class yacht . The Vertue yacht has great bones so its worthwhile restoring her back to voyaging standard. My partner and I have lived aboard our Vertue 'Tui of Opua ' for 26 years and still enjoying the life . Bruce

Congratulations on acquiring the famous Sparrow and thankyou for sharing her on KZfaq. I have one of her sister ships (no. 23) who is also getting a deep refit.... At least you have to worry about the engine not starting😅.

We’ve got the TALEISIN sister ship MORNING SONG here in California. Loved your video

That stove is amazing, do you have details of what it is?

Beautiful boat. What kind of stove is the breakfast cooking on?

Did you stop along the way at three fathom harbour? Which of the Islands was best for anchoring?

Thanks for sharing

I love your paceship sailboat. I have a 1970 and will be making some videos summer 22. I sail in the great lakes my paceship is 20 foot. And injoy sailing it.

Did you swap your Contessa 26 for this beauty? Love your work here btw. Very much like my sailing adventures here in Maine where I'm all alone. Not much talking, just trying to make way and looking around. I currently sail on an O'Day Daysailer that I fixed up, but I'd like to get a Contessa 26 when I'm ready so I can do some real cruises further along the coast.

thank you for sharing

Love the boat , hate the snow..

Beautiful boat and fun to see so much familiar coastline - makes me homesick! Fair winds…

Backpacking alcohol stove, quiet.

i love small boat sailing vids. Nice Job.

How long are the oars? I have a Similar boat, 6ft beam

Is she still available? Where is she located? Is there an ad up somewhere?

Super

Some commentary would be nice?

Grate video , beautiful boat . Thanks !

Thanks for this! Gave me a taste of the east coast. Was there many years ago but not on the water. One day maybe! BestRoy

What a great boat to have adventures in 😁👍👍🇺🇸

Hi, what boat is it?

Hi, I like the sailing dinghy. How is it called?

Hi, what boat is it?

Who designed or built the boat ?

Such a stunning place 😁 Thank You for sharing your adventures!

Beautiful vessell. I have been in love with Lyle Hess's design and avid reader of the Pardey's books which (I'm guessing) you've probably read as well? The oil lantern, the varnished wind vane trim tab, the classic windlass, the cosy interior, the hanked on front sails... All is inspiring and comforting to see that old ways still have a long way to go. Have a good holiday and end of year.

Beautiful Boat! As a young naval architect "back in the day," I of course studied several designer's works. Among my top favorite designers were Colin Archer, Carl Alberg, and of course Lyle Hess. The vessel you featured in this video is a classic Lyle Hess design and the Nova Scotia craftsmanship shows in it's construction. I'd be quite proud to be the owner of this boat. To me, there has always been something special about wooden boats. I played the US Navy "Sea Chanter's" rendition of "Haul Away Joe" while watching this video and I think that enhanced the viewing experience. Thanks for putting this video together - I very much enjoyed it. Merry Christmas!

If that is what you call "living"....I agree with you! :-)

Great video! Good job with editing.

Greetings from Downeast Maine! My family comes from Nova Scotia and PEI. Loved your video and subbed. I'm presently building an 18' pocket cruising sailboat of my own design (I'm a retired naval architect & marine engineer). I'll be sailing my new boat over to Nova Scotia, leaving home port of Milbridge, Maine and visiting Grand Manan Island en route (after the borders are reopened of course). I've been documenting the build on my 2 YT channels. Planning on spending some time in Lunenburg, near where you were sailing in this video. Looking forward to more of your videos. Thanks!

It's a good glimpse, but you'll get more views and subscribers if you add more footage. Little Duck X is unique and a video tour would be great! Adding "During Rough Seas" in the title will expand the possibility of interested viewers.

Olafur Arnalds at sunset.....Wonderful!

7:33 the rope and jib. 😀 Overall exhalent style of videoing and editing! Relaxing joy.

That's what I'm talking about!

👍 nice job. Beautiful area. Love that you didn’t add music.

Nice video but a little commentary would have made much more interesting.

I do like the idea of using the oars as a tarp skirt tie-out rail, yet does not the curve of the gunwhale allow it to drip onto the thwart amidships? Promise me some more small boat cruising and I shall sub Sir. Very nice video. Thankyou.

Lovely documentation of natural beauty and serenity, my wife and I love Nova Scotia. I hope you will answer a few questions: I looked up Lichen and SV Lichen, can't find this boat... can you provide more information? Builder & model, year... did it come set up with oar locks, or did you add them?... were you always sleeping in the boat, or tent camping?...

I love the landscape, reminds me of Maine when I visited my parents. Nice video.

You are right, man, always using a harness.

Nice video of your adventure and sailing

Amazing.👍🏻

You are doing it the right way!

You can't beat dinghy cruising for a relax. A quality video like this brings it all back to me. Lovely boat. Is that a reef in the main? Why?

Nova Scotia looks like a sailing paradise!

What kind of boat is this?

Loverly stuff. Interesting the way you have your mast wedged in place. Cheers from Montreal QC

thats sweet. only thing missing is a hammock strung from the boom.
