It was the sound of the wind and waves while getting under weigh that brought back the memories of cruises past. Thank you, beautiful job and beautiful boat.
two words- love lee ! Like the cozy opening scene.. lighting the lantern and mumbling bout the view.. great photography again ... cozy I am .. drizzling now in Monterey Ca... i have my cooker producing and candles are flickering to pipes and waves sloshing .. thanks Bob !
I'll do that for sure.. my boat Tug, is unique because she's masgurades as a boat inside.. yet is truly a truck ! A 2001 Ford Econoline,once a Sportsmobile.. full of ugly materials.. now carrying on more like the little cabin I always imagined thru my younger days ~ so, I'll post you some shots, I promise . Sincerely Canyon
What a beauty! Right out of the early 20th century: Bowler hat, no PFD, no life lines. He could probably walk that deck under sail with his cup of tea and not spill a drop. Nice film. Thanks for sharing it.
I remember an English boarder my parents took in and we saw him interviewed in newspaper clipping years later. The reporter asked him what was his secret to reaching 100 years of age? He said he liked to start the day off right with bacon and eggs.He lived to 102 years young!!! CHEERS from Western Canada!
I’ve just reread Magic of The Swatchways. September 2018. Seems MG spent most of his voyages bumping into or onto the sandbanks of the Thames Estuary, and Essex creeks, or leaping in to the shoal water to pull his many boats off the sand. Every chapter touches bottom. Every voyage was a trial. He frequently referred to his wife, usually simply as The Mate, and gave scant regard to her own high sailing and skippering skills.
What a pretty boat. Reminds me of the Hiscock's Wanderer 11, although she was Laurent Giles, of course. And you've got to love a man who looks as if he was born in his hat.
Fantastic Footage and a beautiful old boat, I know that coast line well. I come from Leigh on Sea and used to be on Southend Life Boat. Now living in Poole, Dorset, I often reminisce about my old stomping ground.
What a great piece. Thoroughly enjoyable with useful tips. It was also great to see that when short handed these well behaved old girls with give you that extra time that a young-un does not. Wonderful
A good boat is like a fine wine, they get better with age. From a time when boats were built for purpose rather than just to cheat the racing rules. Beautiful.
Hi guys. Loving your videos. I'm new to sailing and just been offered a 26ft sloop wooden boat from 1966. She's in superb condition and been excellently maintained over the years. A few people are telling me I'm ma buying a wooden boat and will spend more time maintaining her than actually sailing lol. Wondered what you guys think on the matter. Be fascinating to her from you. 👍
She's beautiful. Reminds me of a 29ft Staniland I once owned.... sadly, it was too much work for me to keep her back then. Great seaboard and will stand some weather too..
I think this would be the size of boat and sail rig that makes sailing a pleasure......it epitomises the very nature of "just messing about in a boat".
As you say.. very nice: traditional boat, traditional owner in traditional clothes and while a life jacket may spoil the decor it could be in matching black and would be a very good idea foa single hander in any conditions. Never mind the pride accidents happen and other people have to be involved in rescue. Only thing that spoiled the video but thank you.
My name is Danny I'm looking for my first and last perfect boat and I think your boat is first class and wat I'm looking for. I'll be ready next year to buy and live the rest of my life out on wat ever boat I get. I loved your vid and u take cair m8. And wen I'm looking for a boat maybe u can advise. D
Since my first comment 2 years ago, I have researched Peter Gerrard in as much detail as possible, including reading DD’s book “Magician of the The Swatchways “and her own book “Who Desires the Sea”. An utterly fascinating and strongly independently minded woman. Her own craft Juanita is still working somewhere around the UK coast. If anyone out there has any memories or reminiscences I would appreciate hearing from you.
My goodness that long view from behind looking forward...those lines....just beautiful.
Dick, I’ve watched this so many times. What a warm exquisite boat and beautiful video. Thank you!
What a lovely film. Captured an English gentleman and his boat really nicely, well done.
Thanks
What a beauty! Love the spacious decks.
What a lovely vessel and a picturesque personality. Love your speech and persona.
It was the sound of the wind and waves while getting under weigh that brought back the memories of cruises past. Thank you, beautiful job and beautiful boat.

How about a picture of your boat sometime? Would be real interested in seeing her.

Beautiful boat! I was a little worried that fella was going to lose his nice hat in the wind!

I think more people have died from worrying about what they ate than what they ate!

Amazes me that one man can raise & lower sails, tend to the boat & navigate at the same time. Well done.

absolutely beautiful in every respect. thank you for sharing with us!

If you have a boat now and would like me to come along and shot video, send me details. Thanks Bob
Not at the minute. I'm on the look out for something, hence coming across your you tube channel. Thoroughly enjoying your films by the way.
PS. Is it just me or does Dick's voice sound like Bernard Cribbins.
Morning just to let you know she will be coming up for sale soon £14,750. If you need the owners details let me know. Bob
@@myclassicboat9083 Lovely film. She must have sold long ago. If not please send me details. Thanks.

What a dandy, boat and owner!

lovely craft sir,she has that special something.
This video is positively cinematic. Well done!
What a little beauty that boat is.
Awesome. What a charmer. The Boat, and her Gent.
What a proper Englishman, a wonderful thing to see
One of your best. See you out there .

Great video, many thanks for sharing
Bacon and eggs are very good for you
Gorgeous boat
just fell in love with her.
A dream boat ❤
This is the dream!
That is a good morning.Yep.
Best looking bacon and eggs I've ever seen! What else is on that plate that looks so good?
As with all MG products, She is just delightful
I have an MG Eventide 26. Mine has stanchions, and the rudder is not transom hung, plus it has a cruising keel with 7 keel bolts.
Where is she moored?
Port St. Francis, East Coast of South Africa
Oh, damn, beautiful boat.
lovely boat she is!

I love his boiler hat ! I got one, too.
One word. Lovely.
Great Video.
I thought "why is he sailing in a bowler hat?" and then I saw the height of the boom and thought "that's why he is wearing a bowler hat!"
Very Nice!
How fast is she ? and how close to weather can she sail ?
Absolute joy.
i love this boat
Excellent - but no plum pudding?
Isn't the caviar of British cruising actually canned spam meat ...?
Nice boat, nice chap, nice hat. Thx MCB!
lovely boat!
Seems like the lines on the genoa really like to snag onto things when tacking. Beautiful boat nevertheless.
Can you do a RUclips on Maurice Griffith's Kylix a 27 or a 29fter. Not much video of them out there.
Do you know of one?
My Classic Boat Sadly no
My Classic Boat I did find this

Need an update for 2019
