7:58 I just noticed your vang doubles as your preventer.

That is such a beautiful boat. She's elegant

Nice guitar music.

Beautiful sail, thanks.

Eleutheros the nearest one can approach to Freedom without being Dead

She sails so beautifully almost at hull speed..I also love the nice and real sound capture of the waves during the sailing.

Nice to see the reefing jib. What is its area with and without reefs.

What is the origin of your lovely ship’s name? It rings of classical literature, but I don’t know where from. Greece?

There’s another way to get varnish or paint to flow, and that is to warm the paint up by standing the paint tin in some hot water. I’m probably telling you how to suck eggs, but I thought it worth a mention.

An old shipwright I knew many moons ago said that 80% of the work is preparation - and how right he was! Your varnish work is superb!

I love the boat! I once had a boat called "KIFS". Short for Keep It F***ing Simple. No winches, no instruments just a compass and charts, no propulsion other than by sail and no rollerreefers. And a big compliment to Cindy and Mark for having set up their boat like as the most eco-friendly vessel in the fleet of vlogger-boats. All the others keep bragging how they love nature, how sustainable they live while burning gallon after gallon of diesel and gas.

Bristol fashion. Eleuthros, I am eager to hear comment about wear to the shrouds at the hard edge of the chain plates. I think at least serving the shroud eye would be in order. I admit that I am not up to speed on the new synthetic lines.

Nice jib sits well. What size, 110% ?

Did your new sail some from Michelle Stevens Loft?

Shame on you using Phillips screws Markie. ;)

What Brand and type of oil are you using? Thankyou for the excelent production

Good work ❣️ Amazing very nice

It's been my life goal since I was a boy to build a 39ft to 40ft wooden sailboat myself and it still is I'm 30 now and it's never gone away congrats.

Looking very lovely and positive.

Great demonstration that hauling back should be 90% gathering slack rode and 10% lifting. Nearly a lost art in the age of the power windlass!

Golly, how much rode do you carry? It looked like you pulled half across rhe bay. She's a handsome craft. I would love her too.

It fills my heart with joy to know there are exceptional people working away quietly, creating works of 'art' and beauty. You have my admiration and wish you many years of pleasure and pure joy sailing her.

My Swedish granpappy taught me his time tested concoction for a beautiful, durable finish. Equal parts boiled linseed, turpentine, 2nd cut shellac. (I suppose these days not many know shellac is cut from blocks. The liquid mix you buy at the store is something you can make yourself.)

I love your boat! Looking forward to more of your sailing.

We need more sailing from the West Coast. I'm glad I found you. You have a beautiful boat.

beautiful

Great to be sailing again, enjoy. Pity about the new main. Its looks very nice. Best

Without engine a skipper learns in depth what wind, tidal systems and currents are all about..

This was great thanks Tim

Meticulous work - a pleasure to watch and to see the beautiful result!

The man has style boat looks great I do the same thing on the bottom I find bottom paint with thinner builds faster then varnish great builder the boat is awfully nice

Great video! Thank you for sharing

I'm looking forward to some demonstrations of how she sails and how you sail her. I'm fascinated by your decision not to have an engine and would like to know more about how you propel her when you need to. After many hours watching lots of Yachting channels I'd got an impression an engine was a necessity. Does having no engine limit the journeys you can make in her? I'm wondering if you would cross an Ocean.

Really quite an amazing sailboat you have built.. those varnished sides are alot of work but they look amazing when everything is dry and she's in the water.

Amazing very nice ❤ Have a great video

"No pain no gain" the labor of love you each year need to put into the boat to make her ready for the next season of adventures..Keep up the good work..

There are some beautiful details on your boats. Those wooden cleats, oh my.

Thanks so much for posting this.............beautiful job you've both done. I can appreciate "your sticktoitiveness" that's required to complete a project like this. I've finished a boat from hull and deck, so have some idea of what you've accomplished. I hope to keep abreast of your sailing adventures, in your beautiful creation. If you ever get to the other coast of Canada, give us a shout. We're in the gulf islands.

Go for it guys.

You have built a really solid and very beautiful boat, how do you get along without having a designated head with walls and a private place to do chores??

Thanks for this

Your channel always puts my head in a great place! Thanks,

All is nice and very functional on this boat.. I had to laugh because on my first boat, I couldn't afford a real water tank and used an old agricultural tractor inner tire (after serious chlorine disinfection) as my water tank..

Such a pretty boat with the planking visible and shiny.

Beautiful boat, great workmanship. Happy sailing

Well done sir

beautiful

Hi there. I just subscribed and liked. I sailed wooden boats all my life. And, being Dutch, Waarschip and Kolibri. Always proud to mention that dyneema is a Dutch invention. And what a great boat you built. Oldschool chainplates on the outer of the hull. Best solution ever. Why modern yachts are built with thru-deck rigging has no logical reason for me. No engine means no worries. My experience with engines is simple: they start or they don't. You cannot rely on engines. However, skulling in high winds is not an option if you ask me. Electric propulsion might be. I like that you have no furling sails and simplicity in the electrical system. In an earlier episode you were mentioning that you considered a dodger. I would say: "Don't, it will kill the authenticity of the entire boat. I do love the name you gave her. And...last but not least.....as a guitarist and lover of Bach, I love the music in your vids.

Isn't the schooner that's in the water and covered in white plastic the famous bluenose 2?? Sorry I hit play again after commenting and quickly my question was answered and I was wrong.. still quite the amazing sailing ship.. there's some great maritime history thats gone on in that area..
