Rare footage of Vic 32 on the River Clyde Scotland, Plenty of puffer smoke in this video. Filmed with full permission from Crew and Passengers Music - Celtic Spirit (Highland Return)
I painted puffers as my dad skippered them. So many people bought them , but I felt like a factory, so stopped after five approximately. I’ve got Quadroparesis now , but this gave me the urge , while one hand is unaffected, to try another few . One for me exclusively.edit: one of the puffer nearing the dug’s lugs .
I think the mast and derrick actually used to crane cargo on and off, the puffer name is descriptive of its coal powered engines. Lovely evocative boats.
If you look at these videos of VIC32 you will see a sail being hoisted, albeit a rather grubby one! czcams.com/video/SJka8G8oHVQ/video.html (Part 1) czcams.com/video/U8WeKMjvzCs/video.html (Part 2)
Awesome! Thanks for posting. Long time since I saw a puffer!
Nice! Just seen this from the outside your zone video about the vic 32
Excellent video Jim! love the bit at 1:08 when you catch the turn.

At last a positive use for one of these dratted drones 🤣
Brilliant, quite wonderful.
If you got the angles right you could have done a modern recreation of the intro to The Vital Spark tv series haha
Stunning. Are you behind the foremast?
Nice video. I have one question about this boat : I see the mast, but I don't see any sail. Is that anywhere else ? How does it work ? Thanks :-)
