Very nice ship! Btw great answer to when someone said “what time is it? Who cares.”

Thank you a great Sailing Ship and crew. Enjoy our beautiful Ocean Planet.

Maybe a silly question, but why is she referred to as a "barque"? Looks like a corvette to me.

Any chance of getting a look at the ship?

Why can't we drop the Tall Ship cliche, and go back to Windjammer?

I knew the family that owned the James Craig before scuttling it. I've seen the log books of the original and what it was used for and how profitable it was, or should I say, not. It was a New Zealand ship owned by a NZ family that traded with England for a few hundred years or from settlement at least. Well until they made the fatal mistake of going into fishing boats. The Craig was stripped clean of any assets and then set adrift.The family never thought for a second it would surive and end upbeachingitself ontheDerwant! That caused a lot of panic in the family (so they tell me). However, a huge insurance claim was put in but I guess that didn't pay off or the money was further squandered by the family until nothing was left.. Hence the saying, "How do you make a small business? Give a big business to a New Zealander and wait!"

far too much sail up for the number of 'sailors' !

Holy crap she’s quick.

Carvel.

I agree but he's in the bay where the legs are short, inexperienced crew and she's likely only dipping it on some of the legs. Have you tried varying the sail area from one leg to the other on one mile legs? On a gaffer?

A miracle! The best part of the video: "What time is it?" "Who cares."

All of a sudden I've been gettin these non-functioning videos with an "error-please try again later" message. When I Googled the problem I found thousands of others are experiencing this which, COINCIDENTLY, coincides with You Tube's new Pay-Per-View. I think that You Tube is sabotaging these videos purposely to strongarm people into "Upgrading" to their "Premium" channel. I think this is an attempt to phase out the regular You Tube and phase in a pay only venue. Am I the only one?

The skipper is outstanding, my word! The Sayonara is so fast in the bay. I'd love to see what speed she does under the same conditions but on the high sea.

Quit trying to kill the whales with the James Craig the whales are people too, you know

Doesn't a grand old lady like this deserve a well seasoned crew?

where did you press your crew- a retirement village?

I liked the way the skipper was giving instructions, not too much unnecessary yelling, and everyone had a smile on their face.

Very nice video, It was well shot and edited. I would love to have seen a final full shot of the boat as you pulled away [or even a still]. Thanks

It's hard to fathom the power of that vessel, but this vid sure helps. Thanks!

@Seaheritage Er .. She was apparently built in Adelaide !

@shadowwolf3666 Fantastic video .The plank on edge cutters were built to the old Thames Measurement rating rule which tended notoriously to favour narrow beam. However they were brilliant at coping with the short steep seas found in the English channel where you are usually beating to windward . Compare to American boats schooner rigged and beamy for offwind usually encountered on American coast.
