    I don't think I was the only one that was a bit sceptical when you changed boats but I have to say "It's looking pretty dam spiffy". Good luck guys you deserve it.

      Thanks a lot Joe, I guess up close we could always see the potential so we're confident we could bring her up to scratch and we're really pleased how she responded to the work we did. A boat's never finished though and the to-do list is expanding again already!

We sail mostly in the Chesapeake Bay presently, but will be heading either up the U.S. coast or down the U. S. coast and into the Caribbean soon. I hope our paths cross sometime soon!

      So are we! Every time we see her, one of us invariably says something along the lines of 'god she's beautiful' or 'I can't believe that's our boat'. I think buying a boat is a 90% heart, 10% head decision, you need to love a boat to put the work in and make the sacrifices, and Skua is definitely worth it!

    Oh what a difference from Kittiwake! So much space below and you have it organized so well. I hope you can get that shower working. It would seem that the rigging/sales are in pretty good shape, plus the electronics, while older, are at least useful. Plenty of time to upgrade as time And funds become available. All in all kids, you made a great purchase for future adventures. I look forward to you sharing them here!

    I have to really congratulate you on this boat! If I were looking at it, I would have walked. Way too much work and potential problems. But sounds like you got a real good deal and the owner was willing to work with you. Very important. I have purchased and refit 5 cruising boats in my life to varying degrees. And cruised them many tens of thousands of miles. Sailed in company with Tatyana 37’’s in the past. It looks like you guys have overcome some pretty big issues. Now have a great boat! If you get tired of the teak decks, you will find that in some countries where boat work is cheap, you can do the dirty deed. Ha ha. Very interesting that the Volvo is Perkins based. That’s a huge plus. Never heard of that. One boat I had, had a Perkins 4-154. Was well over 10K hrs when I sold the boat. Engine surveyed out great. My next boat had a Perkins 4-236 that was pushing 20K hrs! Still going strong. That boat carried 1000L of diesel so could do a lot of motoring if necessary. So again, congrats and enjoy! You did a lot of good things there. Looks like you handled it right.

    Brilliant tour of your beautiful boat. Cannot wait to follow your adventures. She is a wonderful boat and you will be safe going anywhere in her and your attitude to maintenance and budgeting is one to follow. Looks like you need some baggy wrinkle on your shrouds.

      @SailingKittiwake  Před 5 lety +1

      Thanks so much Andy! I've heard it takes forever to make the old school type? Picking apart bits of rope? Pool noodle sounds like a good idea. It's definitely something we need to sort as the checkstays touch the main as soon as it's set for more than a beam reach

    A great tour. Regarding the Taylor heater, get yourself some spares for it like a spare burner and jets and make sure the burner is original equipment. There are knock offs which don't last long at all. My own had a burner which developed a fracture in one of the pipes feeding the jet, very hard to see so I had no idea the cabin was filling with fumes. Truth is I am lucky to be alive I think...

    Hey, nice to see your boat.
    Maybe it has been said already, but I would only change one thing to start with.
    Get reef 3 from in the cockpit and reef 1 on the mast, that's safer.

    Thank you for a very professional tour of a Great Boat. One request: in a future video would you please expand on the use of diesel cooking and heating. I have heard much of the smell and the danger of CO2 and Oxygen levels. I really admire what you have done with the new boat. the Old Coastie

    You guys are probably one of few that switch from a cat to a mono, but in your case, I think it's a great move. Very nice boat! Lot's of luck & fun with it!
    Happy greetingz, Wim

    You guys must rattle around in there compared to your previous boat.
    Quite the upgrade.
    Single fuel is a nice feature, most people don't think about that with a diesel stove and only comment on the smell.

      Cheers James! :) Yes, it's been a huge advantage - no looking for gas for hours in the heat and it consumes way less.
      When we sit on opposite settees, we still can't believe how far we are from each other. Haha! And yet, in most places in the Med, we're still the smallest sailboat around.

      @@SailingKittiwake That's because Tayanas tend to be way bigger inside than outside. That's like quite a few smartly thoughtout classics were in the seventies, with Tayanas on top notch position though.

    We love your videos, looking forward to your adventures with Skua. Really love the song at the end of this video, can you please tell me what the name is?

    I'm a big fan of tillers, but maybe because I started by sailing dinghies. I think they make a lot sense for small cockpits. Maybe you could make a permanent tiller that can lift up for convenience? I love the keel stepped mast and the old school "captain haddock" oil skins, "proper job" as we say in Bristol.

    • @SailingKittiwake
      @SailingKittiwake  Před 5 lety

      Haha yep, a tiller and fisherman oilies are definitely a salty look! They say if you learnt to sail before you learnt to drive a car then you prefer a tiller... we're going to do some sails with the emergency tiller and see how it is. We went on a boat with a smaller cockpit than Skua recently but because they had a tiller, lashed out the way, it felt twice the size.

    100 meters of chain bare minimum in my thinking for world cruising. Some deep anchorages around the globe

    I love how much space you have on such a tiny boat! How wide is it?

    • @SailingKittiwake

      Yes, it’s a great little boat 😊 She’s 3.5m wide.

    She looks great you should both be so proud. I've heard the cutter rig is preferred for off shore work do you think that is true? Thanks for the wind vane info. I found that very helpful. Thank you for a wonderful boat tour full of really helpful info. Skua appears a great move for you. Fairwinds

      Hi Ken, it's certainly been nice so far, having a staysail is great, especially when the wind picks up and you just want a small amount of sail area. Much nicer than winching in a big Genoa or reefing a huge main on a sloop rig
