Go raibh mile maith agat ar a sceal na mbadh!

Thanks for posting!

Great history of this wooden boats documentary, thanks for sharing ⛵ Greetings from beautiful Hawaii islands 🏝

What a wonderful way of explaining all the ropes and sails. That model is beautifully made.

Jonathan - thank you so much for posting this wonderful series of films. Probably the finest depiction of traditional working boats and the people who sailed them I've ever seen. The race at the end was thrilling - it's rare to see the true mayhem at a start shown so graphically! And they go so fast, it's unbelievable. A tribute to the sailing qualities of the gaff rig. I'm also very moved that nearly all the commentary is in the Irish language. Anyway, I'm now inspired to get back out to my cold workshop and a yet-to-be completed wooden boat!

One of the best traditional boat documentaries I've seen. The teaching sequence alternating (i) a large operating model, then (ii) the same action on a real hooker, was superb. Thank you for psoting!

thank goodness we have men like these

Hookers, seeing her again, needing a bit of work ... lovely film but not what I was expecting !

What joy to see these wonderful boats, and to hear Irish spoken as a living language. Loved the music, too.

Always wondered where in Ireland you'd get such huge pieces of timber - they bolt the pices together in a giant jigsaw. Pretty resourceful.

thanks for the pictures the stories the love for hookers !

1971 the view of a hooker, sailing into roundstone harbour was reason for my passion of sailing ... a bigger model standing in front of my window since 30 years is wonderful to look at sail on !

A Beautiful sight

And the boat with 20 barrels of porter was never seen again ... The porter that is ... the boat and badly hung over crew turned up 2 weeks later.... rofl

I just got a surprise when i saw this suggested youtube clip. There was my fathers face, talking about boatbuilding. He passed away two years ago. Go raibh maith agaibh as ucht an píosa seo a roinnt linn. Bhí sé aiseach a eadan a fheiceal ar an gcaoí seo arís.

Boom good night

come on Bryan

P.S cheers to uploader for this video

A great fight, good technique from both fighters. Philips cardio let him down and James obvious boxing skills were his strongest point. A great demonstration of 2 fighters from different fighting backgrounds combining traditional boxing and karate with kickboxing. Well done to both of you, a great display of skill and guts.

That lad would make some pro boxer

Brilliant Jonathan

Thanks John, I need to get quicker on the focusing and smother on the zooming.. Happy enough with it though.
