I got some new sunglasses to protect my eyes out on the water. They’re super polarized, block all light coming in from the sides, and they stay on my face -- plus I think they’ve got a very cool retro style.

17:54 That's my sailboat there in the background!
That day in October there were few ships on the water, despite the fact that there was a nice breeze and it only rained for 15 minutes. Like you, I took shelter inside and after you left, I too went sailing again. If I had known you were on board that Lemster barge, I would definitely have come and have a chat, because I'm a big fan of your RUclips channel! I wish you a safe journey!
That is amazing that you just happened to be there that day and then saw your boat in their video on RUclips!
Huub's Maud, the lemsteraak is really beautiful, as is this episode (again).
A few additional details: The way the mainsail is attached to the boom is called "een losse broek" (loose trousers). And the 'aids' at 17:34 are called "kloten" (balls, as in cojones), which Aladino held in admiration... ;-)
The lee-boards are called "zijzwaarden" (side-swords). The ones on Maud are actually "zeezwaarden" (sea-boards) as they are long and narrow. Inland boards are normally maybe a little shorter (not necessarily) but surely much wider (twice ore more).
Looking forward to your next episode!
What a wonderful day you had on a super boat with such a lovely man
I was, and still am, admired with the musical diversity of the channel's soundtrack, moving smoothly from a brazilian bossa nova cozy stile towards the antique mood of celtic irish and beyond. Well done guys!
Your videos are so aestetically composed, poetic and interesting. Best sailing channel in my opinion.
i love these gentle informative cinematically lovely videos such a pleasure to watch, have been watching from the beginning , and am in awe of your creative growth , bravo, fairwinds young lady
I thoroughly enjoyed this episode. Thank you from Australia
I sailed for quite some time as a kid (10~ years), i can tell ya there is nothing more satisfying then sailing away with a sun and a breeze in your face and the power of the wind. its pure freedom and joy.
I cannot wait until the end to say how much I like this episode! A soon I saw Maud, I knew this would be an exceptionally nice episode. Nothing beats the beauty of a Lemsteraak. Oh, and the music is beautiful as well, as alway, even if you did not play yourself. (At least not in the first 15 minutes).
At first I wondered why Maud does not have a bowsprit, as a Lemsteraak commonly has, but at the end I understood. My smile was as wide as Aladino's. I love to see you enjoying our country.
Gorgeous - the boat, the skills, the light, the advancing seasons, the watery landscape, Huub's accent... (The weather must be getting fresh since Maya had to wrap her Canadian hands in her jacket sleeves,)
Many thanks to Huub for making this possible.
He's a real ambassador of Dutch sailing 😃
I was born less than hour north from there almost 70 years ago so this was a fun visit. Thanks and stay safe you two.
Enjoyed the video very much, the Captain & his Boat are awesome
You were sailing on a lake. Last weekend we were on the same lake ; skating and iceboating, Friesland is the place to bee, greetings from Amsterdam
This week i went swimming where i skated the week before... fun times this straalstroom
Some say you're turning fairy tales into reality, but I say your reality is how fairy tales are made.
What a great adventure. Lovely boat. ⛵
What a fantastic adventure!
I have always loved the look of Lee Boards and wondered if they would work on a Blue-Water boat.
Thank you for another wonderful film.
My understanding is that they're less well suited for blue water boats, but now that I think of it that may be just the overall design of these boats themselves rather than the leeboards in particular. Perhaps someone else can weigh in? -Maya
Yes they are more likely to sail in shallower waters and maybe some parts of the Northern sea. But an Ocean crossing I would not recommend in such a boat. Most or all Blue water boats have a very low point of balance (below the waterline) but boats like this are more stable due to the large area that's touching the Water (like a Catamaran)
@@ajknives4192 . As a matter of fact . The eel barges that sailed from Friesland to London , they had there own mooring close by the tower bridge , where also flatbotom ships with leeboards . Also the Thames barges that sailed with cargo all around the North sea . And the realy big "Groninger zee tjalken" where going as far as Newfoundland . They also had leeboards . And in the 1600's all Dutch fleets employed one or more jachten mainly for carrying people between the ships of the fleet . All over the world and with leeboards . Sailing with leeboards is very different than sailing on a keelyacht . But when handled with respect and good sailorship a lot is possible .
@@wimmol But are you confident that you could take a flatbotom ships around the Word? Even a small one like seen in the Video?
Sailboats with a deep, heavy keel sail to windward better than other designs. I had a Irwin 10/4 when I lived in SW Florida (shallow water). It had a shallow draft keel with a centerboard and 2000lb ballast but, it was wide for it's length, 10'4" beam on a 25' LOD boat. The 2'9" draft made it good for the shallow water but, it gave away a lot in upwind ability. There was a small boat design that some people built in the 60s that had lee boards but, Google won't find it for me. There are some rather beamy, shallow draft, twin keel boats, Westerly made several (Centaur 26' was most popular) but, I think the main advantage for them is they stay upright when the tide goes out and leaves them aground.
Aladino's joy at sailing on this craft was palpable. Thanks as always for a wonderfully produced story. Great comments from your fans.
"Drunken Sailor" been making the rounds on some of the other Y.T. vids. as well! "KNOTT Finnished " to name one. Great Stuff!
Smiling throughout this whole episode😊 both from the view, the boat, the excitement from the crew 😃 epic sailing!
One of the best documentary of classic boat. Thanks for sharing.
This looks like lake 'De Fluessen' .
I remember 40 years ago that i sailed an 'Optimist' , a small dinghy with a wooden sword. And that sword BROKE... while i was supposed to follow the big family Etap28. But without a sword (skegg?) no more tacking for me, the only thing i could do was to go down wind to that very same island. No mobile phones back then! So i was stuck on that 'deserted' island. Luckily my struggle with the Optimist had been noticed so the Etap had turned around to 'rescue' me. Simpler times. Happier days!
That Lemsteraak is a sweet ship.
My great-great grandfather used to own a flat bottom 'Skutsje' cargo ship called 'Nova Cura' , he and his family lived on board while carrying cargo from Friesland to North-Holland and back as 'beurt schippers'. Beurt being that schippers had to wait for getting a load assigned to carry.
Sadly the ship ended up in Amsterdam as a 'woonboot' ( basically a floating house).
Thnx for the lovely video!
Wooden centre board.
a dagger board if it lifts straight up, other wise a centreboard if hinged.
Lovely episode folks! Only wish we had seen a little more of the barge's interior. It looks huge! And that was real seamanship all day. Charming owner.
I think the interior is the private space of Huub and his family. He must not share this with everyone.
@@sailingobelix1535 Understood, I should have added with the owner's permission. Good point.
@@ianallan2337 No problem. I just wanted to point out that in times of facebook and twitter, not everything has to be shared with everyone. People sometimes forget this.
But you are right, these Dutch barges have a lovely and cosy interior.
Ohh, that was wonderful. What a great experience, and thanks to hook for letting us be on a wonderful boat. Hook always is an impressive instructor, calm and confident.
Impressive ! ! ! What a joy to be brought along on this adventure in the lumberingly graceful Dutch barge sailing vessel, MAUD! I enjoyed Maya's concentration @14.14! It is clearly spelled out on her face as she guides 20 tons of barge to the island dock.
That looked so much fun and its fascinating to see how these beautiful traditional dutch boats sail, Wish i was there
I recall the Netherlands c1970s….lovely, humanistic & sophisticated people. Beautiful Sophisticated county and one to emulate.
Between your adventures, Uma, Ran, and MJ Sailing I have found that area of Europe to be amazing and very interesting!
@@charonstyxferryman I forgot to mention Nick & Theresa of Ruby Rose. I was fascinated by their canal trips and sailing on the coast of Brittany
That was fun! Thanks for taking us along.
I love the joy Maya derived, watching Aladino having such a good time. The epitome of a loving partnership, on my view ♥️
Honestly the intro for this series is really professional
This form of boat honestly seems like it'd be an ideal sailing houseboat. You've got plenty of space to live on, without the deep draft you'd expect from it's weight. I was just about to mention that I was curious how well Maud would do in blue water, but I see you've mentioned that. It surprises me that she'd not be good on the ocean because she looks the part, even if not being the fastest.
Netherlands gang! best country for looking and enjoying boats, we also have more historic boats then anywhere in the world. the best part of OG dutch boats is you can beach em go to the store to buy food come back and sail away, great fun.
Thanks so much for bringing us along on this wonderful adventure! Aladino's smile after sailing off the dock is priceless.
Thank you as always for the comment Wayne! Yes, Aladino's smile when sailing is a joy to see :) -Maya
Did I miss the interior tour?
@@terrylarkin690 I saw just a glimpse of the interior, but it looks like it is larger on the inside than on the outside. Huub has wrought well.
Aladino's smile is always beautiful. As are both of your personalities, too.
Excellent episode. What I like particularly, is that you've opted to not only show the sunny side of the Netherlands, but also the gloomy grey weather version. It is wonderful to see you both enjoy a tip like this to the fullest, and I absolutely loved Huub speaking Dutch to you on occasion. He must've been well within his comfort zone to forget he had brought foreigners on this trip.
Thank you for getting us through the Corona winter. I've found I am increasingly looking forward to your weekly episodes.
We use Sea Pearl 21 with dagger boards on the side for shallow water in Florida too. Called Sharpies too.
Great and very pleasant video! Looking forward to enjoying my boat in almere
So nice in the Netherlands!! Looking forward to my summer holidays at our western neighbours. Just fishing and relaxing...
Wonderful!
Cheers from Juneau Alaska,
Greg Chaney
I really enjoy learning about sailing through your videos. They are beautiful in all respects and educational too. I don't know much about the Netherlands and even less about their sailing culture.
Oh that brought back such memories .. I used to sail a similar boat built 1904 and 63ft long in the east coast of England and some inland waters too. She was an original trading boat.
They are gentle giants, very heavy on the helm but everything you want to do happens steadily and with grace, even when you are learning. A lovely portrail of what I remember, thank you.
Very interesting. What was the name of the boat? I am following a couple of them. What happened to your boat? 1903 boat in Scotland www.grabauinternational.com/brokerage/traditional-24m-dutch-iron-sailing-barge-1686742/
@@tyroneshulace3203 Vrouwe Jantina. When I skippered her the first time She was in the Sailing Barge racing group, based in Faversham. The last time I saw her she was still on the mooring I used to take her from, at East Farleigh, on the River Medway.
Just beautiful I had many sailing trips out of Muiden on the sailing barge Libert’e the skipper Wilhelm Griff an amazing man who played many instruments. The hospitality of the Dutch people the whole experience crewing Libert’e was like no other. I understand your joy sailing this boat.
Huub is such a great guy
Thank you Huub. We had sooo much fun.
What a great experience you are having
I haven't seen one of these leeboards boats for several decades. While sailing a 60 ft schooner in the Virgin Islands, we met 2 men who invited us to sail to St John, Virgin Gorda etc. on their 75 ft x 25 ft Dutch steel sailboat with huge leeboards. It was a beautiful boat, inside and outside. It's sailing abilities couldn't compare to our schooner with a 9 ft draft but what a beautiful liveaboard she was. Oh, one more thing, while visiting Holland a long time ago, I thought the Dutch were perhaps friendliest people I'd ever met.
@Jantje Pietje Hi! Do you think a lemsteraak can sail the Mediterranean. I thought that with different dimension drifts it could be possible. I dream of bringing one back to Corsica, to my home.
This man knows more about sailing that anyone of us. Amazing episode. And impossible to get seasick.
That was another amazing episode guys. Also, a big thanks to Huib for showing us this very beautiful, traditional Dutch steel-barge sailboat. I hope I spelled his name correctly. My apologies if I didn't. Having spend almost all my summer holidays as a child in the Netherlands, I was always curious about these type of boats. Thank you much.
Great choice of Music: reminds me of our sessions in non Covid times :-)
Hey Maya and Aladino, nice to see you again on such a beautiful dutch Plattboot in the fresian see. It's a pity that we don't meet last year, I was not far away from you cruising the Ostfriesische Inseln - compared to the baltic sea where I'm usally real nearby. Maybe we meet another year, but this year I supposse there will be no Vindö Meeting on Ærø due to Corona :-/ LG Niko
Hy Niko:)
Would be very nice to meetup somewhere!
What a great guy and a cool boat
I love the bumper boat comment. LOL
What a beautiful boat.
Huub seems awesome!
What a beautiful day on a very different beautiful boat
Oh man, Huub has the great weathered face of a real sailor, he is from a fairy tale as well!
Some Brazilian bossa nova playing ????? I just loved the Dutch boat sailing ! Thanks for sharing !
Hello
Nice video ! I wish you would have shown and talked more about the boat. I would have loved to see interior layout the berths the head the engine etc.
What a super nice trip - thx a lot for sharing and be safe and healthy.
Wow! I find your episodes so informative and exciting, you really get my heart racing
Hi you two it’s been a long time and a great adventure coming along on your journeys ,keep posting your memories best wishes Graham.
Beautiful days sailing with a kind and skilled captain. Could you ask Huub why the stern is not flat and the bow is not pointed as in more conventional sailing ships? You would think a pointed bow/stem would be better for windward work. I have always wondered about the design of these Dutch sailing ships so thank you all for such a pleasant day on the “sweet” water! Greetings from the Emerald Isle. Ramey.
Wow the boat is soooo pretty and it looks like it came out if a fairy tale ❤️ Fascinating. The shape of the sales, the woodwork... a piece of art. And the soundtrack of the video is perfect, guys!! It transports us to your experience ❤️
Sails.
@@johnstarkie9948 Nag.
Excellent video and great explanation
A funny thing with these flatbottoms is that if you're in the tidal area of the Wadden Sea in one with very low draught and you sail while the other flatbottoms are already stranded by the low tide there's a little envy, and a lot of respect and interest in the boat. Of course it doesn't matter, it's only half an hour of sailing extra and beeing stranded on the Wad is no problem for a flatbottom at all. Nor is it a bad place to stay the night and step out to find some mussels and oysters. It's not a competition, but in low draught boats the draught can't be low enough.
Beautiful! Congratulations!
Thanks for sharing this little Adventure! These Flat bottom sail boats are very good to explore the North Sea along the Netherlands and German Coast where vast areas of Sea falls dry. That's time to explore and when the tide brings you to float again and simply move on. 👍🇫🇯😄
2 exceptions to your video. no.1 I circumnavigated in 1961 on a 96 foot schooner. you made the statement that this sturdy sailing craft would be unsafe at sea. sorry but that is not so. when at Nassau one little Dutch sailing boat a little bit larger than the one you were on. sailed into the harbor non stop from Holland on her way around the world. we went aboard and were totally impressed with the room she had below decks. no. 2 I would have really liked to have bin given a tour below decks of your craft. ever since since that time in Nassau I have been in love with these Dutch sailing craft. I enjoyed your video very much.
i
Fantastic! I've wanted to take a sail on one of these boats for a long time. You got me that much closer!
Very nice boat. I wish we could have toured the interior.
coool what a special experience. keep that one in the memory banks.
Great stuff, none of it looked weird to us, we are 'Broads' sailors where nudging into the bank to raise sail is routine. The area you are sailing in looks like a gigantic Norfolk Broads! Love it :-)
Took me back to a Wroxham boatyard, especially turning cruisers using prop walk, always baffled the hirers
@@spentacle ha ha, brilliant. Everything we do seems to baffle the hirers. Mind you, sometimes we don't know what's going to happen. The wind does weird things up those rivers!
HEY. Love the drone shots. You have a drone now? Awesome!!! I have to say quality and entertainment of your videos are excellent. love the scenery, the music, the story line. It's always my great pleasure to tag along on your adventures, the places you go, the people you meet. More people please, I'd love to meet more locals. also more of Mia's music if I may ask. Anyway i watch a lot of sailing-couple videos and you guys MY FAVORITE. oh also I like Aladino's humor he makes me laugh. LOVE YOU GUYS!!
Prediction - You will both move and settle in the Netherlands within the next six years. Holland is my favourite country in the world, the architecture the people - everything is beautiful..
Ho ho ho, so Nice, so great. I can’t wait any longer. Skip the winter and let’s start sailing again.
‘Chickenskin’ from toes to top!
Beautiful video.
Btw, is your boat still in the Netherlands?
Chickenskin = goose bumps
Very interesting turnaround maneuver! Another boat type which is very well suited for such waters, but more elegant is a Norfolk wherry. Henry Montagu Doughty used his to go from Friesland through Mecklenburg to Bohemia and has written a wonderful book about that journey.
Casting about for a new superlative and coming up empty. Brilliant day, brilliant people! When I think of all the talented people on RUclips who are not employed by a corporation or studio system; one can see how much diverse beauty Hollywood and other elites have denied us.
What a great boat.
Wonderful story: intriguing boat and its Captain. I’d love to know more of his trip to Stockholm, presumably a Bluewater voyage.
If you push these boats to their limits, they are quite fast too. They are built for that. The first in would get the best prize for the fish they caught. The other type of flat bottoms called "botters" have a special rig without stays to haul the nets. These typical Dutch boat designs are worth the study for anyone who's interrested in traditional working boats.
Check out a Meadowlark/Mudlark Design. 33' LOA 8' Beam 18" Draft with Lee Boards and Ketch Gaff Rig. Designed for I think Louisiana (dont quote me on that) but the South Eastern US shallows. Well able for Ocean crossings and Heavy Weather. I have crossed the Irish Sea from Carlingford Lough to the Isle of Man, in Force 8-9 reaching speeds of 12-14 Knots, Reefed and with tripple warp Drouge out behind (due to engine failure). 3/4" Larch on Oak Frames. Fantastic Boat. Unfortunately, she was Lost when a Lorry caught fire beside her in a yard where she was wintering in the early 90s'.
Their boats are shaped just like their wooden shoes ! Cheers
You went from hot summer to cold fall in a few episodes.
Thanks Huub! That is a wonderful vessel! What a lovely film this has become! I could not help but smile all the way through. I will remember this one, come back to it when ever I need a pick-me-up.
realy a very nice guy you found! Nice Video :)
Not long until the 100,000 subscribers, Good luck to you both
You said "not for world wide sailing" - well they were used on the English Channel and the North sea - what else could qualify them for open sea?
And when Huub visited Stockholm he also had to travel on open sea.
And - if anybody thinks of slow and sailing for elderlies you should attend one of the many regattas they do in the summer.
Never stop calling him "My love", so cute!
Now I want ride on one of those.
Fantastic as usual. Always a thumbs up.
I would shave my head and give up ice cream to spend a few hours with you both and thank you for sharing your story with us that watch your channel. Outstanding balance of harmony and humor in a world full of love. Outstanding job. Well done.
Love Love Love! Being a Dutch South African Canadian girl myself I can really relate to you Maya
What a heavy tiller !
Great music.
I wish I could find out more about Dutch sailboats, I'm a 6'8"/204 cm sailor and I can't stand up inside my own boat nor most ships or anything, really. I'd be so happy if I could get an offshore capable sailboat that I can stand up in🥰
There definitely would be some Dutch boats suited as many are your height, but flatbottoms are not recommended offshore.
Great show. You did it again
Welcome to the Netherlands 🇳🇱
These "platbodems" are my favorite.. I used to sail a "school/training" talk on the South Netherlands Delta..We trained kids the "on board" discipline and the hard work of sails and leeboards (zwaarden) handling ..
For those people questioning leeboards, blue water and speed of these kind of barges, check out this 'tjalk', doing 11 knots in the Mediterraen sea. A tjalk is a bigger boat than a 'Lemster Aak', however similar in design.
The concept of a rounded bow is re-discovered in the design of the 6.5 Mini by the French naval architect David Raison. www.idbmarine.com/en/maxi/650/maxi650.php
Raison’s Mini smashed the competition during the Transatlantic in 2011, setting a new course record. His success was so significant that other important monohull racing classes, Open 60s, Class 40s, TP 52s, quickly banned these now called 'scow bows' for fear their existing fleets would instantly be rendered obsolete.
So, these old Friesian boatdesigners were not that stupid.
For your information, in the old days, when these barges were build from wood,. these boat-builders didn't use any paper-work for calculations and drawings. Everything was done by heart.
Sorry, forgot to include the link for the 11 knots tjalk. ruclips.net/video/OdICwZlSS6s/видео.html
Was waiting for a tour below but it never happend..😊
