Haha!!! I did the refit on that beautifu oldl boat!! Every week Steve would present me with a bottle of rum in appreciation for my work.
May the universe bless this man!!! A true wooden boat lunatic. A legend and wonder!!
Loved the video, as an owner of a 40ft Huon Pine sloop I enjoyed lots of the little detailed tips thank you
There is something about a wooden boat that truly captures the love of sailing be it power or sail.
I know right!
Jesus wept . I've never seen so many moving parts on a boat as the Witch of Endor. Love that whistle :)
Watch your toes!
You betcha ! @@FreeRangeLiving
She certainly is , Haven't seen an engine like that since I was a kid @uncle bobs dead
My God those were beautiful! Truly love your channel, from the sailing to the galley work to the maintenance care of your S/V and all the bits in between. You give great inspiration to those of us just starting out.
Those were some truly beautiful yachts and honestly using beautiful to describe them doesn't really sound like enough.
As always fair winds, safe travels and God Bless...
Very lively interviews & films. Saludos from Uruguay --Southern Hemisphere too !
Beautiful artwork in the boats. I live in South Carolina in the USA, each year, in August, there is a wooden boat show in a small Harbour town Named Georgetown. The boats are beautiful but not as elaborate as yours. Great video.
An incredible episode. I have no words to describe the wooden wonders.
Incredible craftsmanship
I really appreciate hand-built stuff, the passion just oozes out of the final product. I work with metal but whatever the material, hand carved has it's own beauty.
Just found you guys on Facebook!!!!
Awesome pahe!!!
Also just checked out your web site! Love it!!!!
I'd rather watch 'Free Range' than anything on the television anyday!!
Very beautiful 😃😍👍
What a beautiful addition to all your videos,as my love for wooden boats/yachts is never ending. Living between Havre De Grace and Annapolis, I'm so fortunate . Thank you for sharing this wonderful part of your adventure.
Enjoy and be safe 🌞⛵
Hi Pascale and Troy, I was pleasantly surprised to see you here because I hadn't looked at the producers "label", so G'day! I have been to the Wooden Boat Festival myself in a previous life but now follow you two on Mirool and have reached Yamba so I'm a bit behind. Love all your vlogs but especially your "Someone asked me why I don't buy a catamaran, but I like sailing too much." I reckon you have given Mirool a new lease of life with her restoration. Happy sailing Guys!!!
Would have given you two thumbs up at least for this vlog. Just wow
Very nice. Thanks for sharing.
As Troy said. Beautiful Craftsmanship. Thankyou for showing us these traditional works of art.
I love wooden boats. Thanks
What a wonderful episode. So much love for traditional boats, those owned by other people, but would *never* want the responsibility myself! Good to have Troy clarify what the little brass wheel was for. Sliding wine glass rack is pure genius. Needs no explanation .... 🤣 🥂🎉
"Someone asked me why I don't buy a catamaran, but I like sailing too much."
LOVE these boats. Great show TY!
Beautiful Boats
Love em

Thank you for giving us a tour of the Pittwater Wooden Boat Festival. These wooden boats are works of art and very unique. Thank you, Troy and Pascale for the tour and your genuine interest in the boats and builders.
WOW, I just love wooden boats, All you showed are just incredible, My old yacht is made of Huon Pine, the smell of a wooden boat is something else ......... Great Vid thank you for sharing
You are an inspiration in so many dimensions. Binge watching from the beginning. Reinforces my desire to “free range”, although a few years off till kids start college. Thx for putting yourselves out there.
Very cool! The steamboat brings back memories of my fathers hand built steamboat.
OMG... They were all beautiful and astonishing. I will have to say that the Witch stole my heart. Put me in the mind of Bogart and Hepburn on the African Queen (One of my ALL TIME favorite movies). Might have to watch it again this evening for the umpteenth thousand times.
wooow, great fun guys. all the best!
The steam motor makes my day...the movement... the sound... so beautiful... thnx.!!!
Steam engines are living things, I think they may even have a soul.
Pascale has some serious galley envy😂😘
Screen shot idea paradise lol, thanks for covering the show, wow
Oh wow! I love Lucy. You are in the right place this weekend for the Australian Wooden Boat Show, just the wrong year. On my bucket list. ⛵⚓
There's a little one at Kettering this weekend but yes, sad we missed the bi-annual one.
Wow...Awesome. Fell in love with Lucy and that catamaran joke was just 👍👍👍
: Wow.... The Woodworking was just marvelous. You can see the painstaking work that went into making those boats so beautiful and practical in so many ways. Thank you for the video. Wishing you smooth sailing.⛵
Excellent as usual!!!
Aye m8’s! This is good planning, to have ready made episodes to throw in when there isn’t time or connection enough for a ordinary. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
One of your best stay in one place episodes...Peckers aren't the only ones who LOVE wood. Ventos justos e mar calmo ⛵️
building my own boat has been on my bucket list for a long time. At this point in my life it probably never going off it. Thanks for sharing of some those who got it off theirs.
I have to admit that I saw the title and thought "that'll be interesting"... it wasn't until I clicked through that I realized it was a FRS video and got really excited. Brilliant work as always. Thanks for putting the time in and sharing!
Witch of Endor-what a fun boat. You can keep your fancy fiberglass and plywood yachts. I would take a boat like this any day... Would love to have a horn like that for my truck.
Stunning workmanship all round
Awesome episode! thanks.
What a wonderful day that must have been for both of you.. Thank you
Truly beautiful craftsmanship. Thank you to Troy, Pascale and your “guide” 😊
That was awesome. I remember when I was a lot younger and Mum took my brother and I to a boat show and the maritime museum. The only boats my brother and I were interested in were boats like these. Great memories. thanks and cheers.
Witch of Endor is super cool
Visited the wooden boat fest in Hobart last year whilst touring Tassie, also visited the wooden boat school in Franklin that is well worth a visit.
Excellent vid again guys.
That was incredible. Thank you both for sharing such wonderful gems, the boats were cool too :-)
Outstanding !!! Thank You, Troy and Pascale
The practicality of a plastic boat is undeniable, but wooden boats, even humble but well maintained, are just gorgeous. My father had an all wood 18ft (~5.5m) catboat (I think I mentioned this in comments on another video). Eventually the maintenance requirements overwhelmed him, and he sold it. Many fond memories of that catboat....Cheers.
These amazing wooden Vessels of the sea do have a Soul don't they?
Thanks for sharing your gems!
Great stuff... as a retired boatwright carpenter I loved watching this. As a cruiser, I always enjoy your videos.

That was so enjoyable. What craftsmanship on display.
Oh yes, this is a good one. Love your channel.
One of the best shows ever, superb.
LOVE this! Cool boats, nice people and unique stories about both the boats and the people. This could be a multi-part series.
Absolutely gorgeous! A labor of love.
Every day is refit on a wooden boat!
Cool. Loved seeing the care that the owners put into their vessels. Great content.
Great episode, the boats you featured here were all quite special and warmed my heart.
i REALLY ENJOYED YOUR VISIT TO THE WOODEN BOAT SHOW. THANK YOU FOR SHARING IT WITH US. ARE YOU PLANNING ON ANOTHER BOAT ANYTIME SOON?
Those are such beautiful boats.
Nice Video Thanks
Excellent video. Really enjoyed meeting everyone.
Absolutely fantastic, such a great insight into the passionate individuals that are out there unsung. Great Video Team.
Wooden Boats are lovely!
Love wood boats. Thanks for sharing.
Fantastic
Thanks for the tour . very interesting
Great stuff. And I say that as a Kiwi! You guys get to see some really great stuff, and I'm happy to be dragged along on your coat tails. Keep it up, Troy and Pascale.
We love our kiwi cousins, glad to drag you with us!
The triple expansion steam engines are fascinating. I did a day trip on The Waverley in Scotland a few years ago. The last seagoing passenger-carrying paddle steamer in the world. Worth it just to be mesmerised by the giant engine and paddles chugging away.
beautiful, thank you for sharing
Great episode, amazing craftsmanship. But that steam engine stole the show for me, steam engineering at its best. Thank you for sharing, more please.
I love your channel, but then searched for classic yacht sailing, and found this video (I hadn't looked at the channel name), then I heard Pascy's voice. I sooooo love that you guys are doing this!
When you Aussie hear "kauri", do you associate that with New Zealand wood?
I looked at the history of 'Defiance' and discovered kauri had been grown in Queensland, but I had always thought that kauri was a New Zealand, 2, 700 km away, wood.
Just showed the bit under the main cabin sole (aka floorboards). Don't let SkyNet see this - it might give them some ideas.
Love your adventure video log. Keep on keepin on.
Absolutely brilliant. Thank you
Wow!!! Folly III!!, I spent countless hours refitting her. Did Steve mention the work that went into the engine box?? Steve, aka "captain folly" is an awesome bloke! I'm actually working on follyIII right now.
Outstanding as always. Well done
Awesome :)
... can just faintly hear the idea mill spinning in the collective FRS mind.
Ive witnessed the seeds of Free Range Yacht Building planted ...
Awesome.
Ed Burnett was at the top of his game when he lost his life. He'd just designed the Royal barge Gloriana for the Queen's diamond jubilee. Story I picked up from the internet (I admire his work) was that he lived alone (i.e. no wife or kids) and his dog had just died. I'm guessing he just didn't see any point in going on after that.
He is a great loss.
Thanks for the info Philip
Some brilliant design and engineering there. Does it make you want to build your own boat now? 😃
Part of boat owning is boat building! Just not quite from scratch and I'm not sure Mirrool is show quality just at the moment....
Sometimes, I don't like to go to these awesome boat shows as then my mind gets packed full of the "what if's"....
Beautiful! peace
Very beautiful boats. I have always wondered, what is the main driver to take on a long term build or retro build ? What keeps the will to keep plugging away...I envy that.....I HAVE TO JUST BUY, HAVE IT NOW ! Good on those that have the patience. Thanks guys !
Witch of Endor aka The African Queen. W of E, very cool boat.
Fantastic!!!!!!
Very interesting!
That was fabulous. Of course his head is in the engine room. That's exactly where I would have been also.
I love that steam engine
Nice
My Free Range Sailing t-shirt got broke in very quickly!... I got it in the mail, put it on, the wife handed me one of my twin grandbabies, and he threw up all over the front of me!... Lol... Nothing a trip through the laundry didn't fix but I thought I'd pass the news on, thought Paskal might get a chuckle out of it.
It's got to be good luck!
nice
Wow. Amazing work and dedication. A lot of those skills are nearly lost now... Great video guys... ;-}
Wow, what a buzz.
Great ♥️👍
The Witch of Endor, in addition to being an old-testament Biblical character, was the 10-gun cutter that Horatio Hornblower commandeers in order to escape from France and rejoin the English fleet blockading the mouth of the Loire, in 'The Commodore' by C S Forester..
I'm exhausted just thinking about the work that goes into those.
Please put the join button.
Beautiful boats but how do they find time to sail and maintain such gorgeous boats?
They live and breathe it.
Awesome video! See you next time! Come find us on SilverCloud2 at RMYC anytime. Regards Kobi
