The Kraken boltless keel, skeg-protected rudder, layout and finish are indeed impressive. Really like the head and especially galley design, which seems highly useable and practical. The inside watch station has great sightlines. The keel and rudder should perform relatively well, sort of a medium aspect ratio. Overall the design seems very well informed by knowledge and experience while also being very pretty, possessing both form and function.

Lady Golem makes me immediately think of Discworld and Terry Pratchett. Going Postal and Making Money features Gladys, a golem that despite being made of clay now has taken on a female persona. In my head, Lady Golem will always be "Gladys".

I can not believe that any competent swimmers hold their noses when jumping into the sea. No need.
@paulpaul99143 күн бұрын
1:06:10 this is very interesting. Are you able to set the sails for a course & wind direction, lock the wheel & then FairIsle keeps to a course with no more than one degree variation over a few hours with no intervention? When this happens does FairIsle maintain a set angle to the wind?
@svfairisle3 күн бұрын
It really depends on the wind angle. I can’t do it with the wind aft, really tried in the Atlantic crossing with a following wind all the way over but there’s too much helm movement needed to keep a straight course especially with a big sea swell more in the beam. But with the wind on the beam or even slightly forward I can usually balance the sails to stay straight. It helps if you end up with a degree or two of weather helm locked into the helm which tends to protect you from rounding up in the gusts.

Boy I'll have to plan when I see this new format. Great material. OMG "we'll just cut the corner" were my famous last words before my ONLY grounding. Military and Coast Guard were not amused and insisted on pulling us off immediately (maybe they were, behind closed doors). Wel found out shortly it was a firing range. Spain and Portugal so rich and pleasant. Loved the artsy shots of Fair Isle in the morning mist, Judy's Titanic poses never grow old and the videocuts synched to the music. Jeez I''m only 20mins in to it ...

I for sure would have wrapped that line around the dinghy propeller, the boat propeller and on a bad day both!! People on yachts a couple of miles away would have heard us screaming at each other when trying to position the boat (just before the aforementioned rope and propeller meet). All part of the fun 😂

Nice episode with your daughter. Havnt seen people riding in the ocean before. That was quite an adventure to get to the waterfall, a long hike that reminded me of Capt Ron. Yes you never get bored of being in the water in the Caribbean, suggest you get comfortable with a small weight belt so its not a struggle to get down.

Looks like an excellent bit of kit. I would like to see how it performs extracting someone in full sailing gear with an inflated life jacket which presumably they would be wearing. I'm thinking of the extra weight of someone in what would now be wet sailing gear.
@svfairisle10 күн бұрын
The net would certainly support a large person in full wet gear no problem, or course you have the challenge of winching them out but that’s the same no matter how you lift them. The net itself if light so not adding any considerable mass to be lifted

Talking from experience. Once I had a girlfriend who loved horses. So, I bought a property in the country side and three horses while I sailed my 34ft sailing yacht. I was doing the house-bookkeeping and found out that her hobby was 10x more expensive than mine, based on monthly costs apart from the house and the Jeep Cherokee. The saying is true: "Horse owners die poor"

Yeah they say a boat is a hole in the water that you pour money into BUT... A horse is a 4 legged animal that is fed bails of £50 notes.

Why are the horses wearing some sort of ear-socks? Not frostbite I assume?🤨

The ear bonnets are to stop flys or mossies buzzing around them. Some horses get spooked by it or could even be prone to infections

@@svfairisle don’t get me started on bird watching geekery! Yes location is important, but birds pitch up in the strangest of places. There was an albatross off the NE Coast. Shape, size, colour and behaviour are key. Once you start to notice the differences it gets addictive, but fun. Thanks again for your fantastic enjoyable content.

I am jealous of your wife LOL! My wife gets seasick watching a fishing show on TV. My wife is a trooper and she'd be perfect for long range trips and I'd be in the middle of a several year tour of our planet on a similar boat to yours if she could hack it. After many times trying, it's not going to happen. My current boat is a 75' long range sport fisher/cruiser with full stabilization. She still cant handle it. I'm "stuck" doing local US west coast trips with my crusty old fishing pals with a couple of trips to the sea of cortez each year. Otherwise I'd be off doing what you are. I guess I'll have to live my ocean wandering dreams vicariously through your excellent videos :)
