- This week we have some awesome footage of our lateen rigged traditional boats. I have put together some of the best footage taken aboard Princesa do Tejo. A lot of it hasn't ever been released or seen by anyone...until now!
Hope you enjoy it! 😉

I have been fascinated by Lateen rigged sails and had so many questions about how to work them. You've answered all my questions with very informative and fun videos. Thank you.
Great to hear Chi Chi! 😉
Beautiful! I love seeing Pricesa do Tejo! You can really tell this boat is well loved. The sailing is fantastic.
Thanks Spencer! Bruno is really proud of her and spends a lot of time making sure she looks and performs to her best!
Valeu, saudações veleiro tradicional, Akyuana, desde Brasil.
This is one of the best sailing videos I have seen!
Thank you for your support!
What a great family camp-cruiser one of those would make! Or, a great sail-training vessel for kids to learn their history.
And Bruno uses Princesa for both!! He goes with his wife and kids often and sometimes makes announcements on FB to take ppl on a daily trip for free!
We are also trying to start a school program to take young kids sailing aboard the traditional boats. 😉
Great stuff, the sort of sailing conditions we would all love to have 24/365
Hey David! yes really good conditions, strong constant winds with only a few gusts...
Ah yes, thanks Teo... if asked about the rotating spar, i will forward your advice on the down wind maneuver.....and yes i feel you are correct in that it would work best with smaller boats.
My God! This is EPIC and intense! I just watched all the Fastnet sail race footage and it doesn't hold a candle to this footage... Great Job there on the video! Awesome! Such beauty these Portuguese boats have. Majestic and so sophisticated.
And to add... there are a lot that genuflect to France, Netherlands, Etc for their great sailors.. Portuguese always fly under the radar... Why? These are some amazing sailors. Kind Winds my friends.
Thank you for you support Andy!! 😉
You are living a life well lived, this is beautiful, exhilarating footage you are sending out to the World, Bravo!
Thank you very much! 😉
As always….beautiful boats…..great cinematography….and some CRAZY sailing!
Thank you Dennis!
Awesome! Beautiful pictures!
Thanks Robert! 😉
Cheers looked like you guys were flying on the home run
Yes, a really steady strong wind!! 😎
GR8 racing guys 👍
It was great.
FANTASTIC JOB TEAM!!
Thank you Brian!
Its great to see such beautiful boats! The colors are magnificent....and I love the traditional floral accents, and fine details in keep her looking sharp! Y'all should be very proud of all the hard work y'all have done! Its nice to see folks keeping tradition preserved and alive.....far too often over here it gets lost in the name of progress...
Beautiful!
Thanks you Jeremy!
Hi Teo.
I thought with the lateen, when tacking you had to dip or swing the yard somehow to the other side of the mast in some dangerous way!!
Very relieved that is not so!
Great video of these fast, handy and beautiful boats.
Thank you.
Hi Nicholas, some lateen rigged boats do dip the sail but usually smaller boats. this yard weighs around 100kg we would need a lot of crew to dip it!
Fantastic! Must be great fun to build a Lantern! Thanks for sharing? Can I come sail with you ?
Sure Samuel! 😉
Awesome 👍🍺
Thanks 👍
Wie schoen :)
Thanks! 😄
incrível!
Sou português emigrade, e depois de ter começado a ver alguns canais (sobretudo este!) de malta a construir barcos, decidimos fazer o mesmo. O GIS é um pouco grande e pesado demais para nós, mas estamos a tentar fazer o Caravelle CVS do Chase Small Craft. Vem com uma "lug sail" (lamento não saber termos em Português :( ), mas adorava eventualmente fazer uma conversão para vela latina. Quem sabe, talvez até desenvolver um sistema que permitisse trocar de uma para a outra.
Mas não encontro informação quase nenhuma sobre como armar e velejar uma vela latina. Sei que já mencionaste várias vezes certos perigos delas, e para alguém que provavelmente vai aprender a velejar sozinho (e provavelmente vai parar à água :P), qualquer informação era bem vinda :) Há algum livro, site, vídeo? Já vi um do teu canal mas para quem sabe tão pouco como eu, não foi suficiente :)
Abraços de além-mar!
Ora viva!
Fazer um barco é uma aventura fantastica!
Há outro barco do mesmo designer do GIS que é mais pequeno, muito bom para aprender a velejar e extremamente versátil e rápido, o OZ Goose.
Há frotas deste barco espalhadas pelo mundo inteiro. A vela latina, não é uma vela que se use para aprender a velejar.
Quanto a mudar de velas, os barcos são desenhados com um centro de area vélica e um centro de resistência lateral do casco a uma distancia um do outro cuidadosamente calculado para que o barco fique em equilibrio e o leme não faça muita força.
Para fazer uma latina para um barco tem de saber-se onde é esse centro de resistência e calcular tambem o centro da vela a fazer. Pode até ser que o mastro esteja numa posição favoravél para tal...ou não!
Não conheço nenhum site ou livro de vela latina. Não sei qual o video que viste no meu canal mas o que explica em mais detalhe como armar a vela é este: ruclips.net/video/9Y9-Idmh3xA/видео.html
Boa sorte com a construção!
Abraço
Teo
@@TheBoatRambler Foi esse o vìdeo que vi! Vou definitivamente começar com a lug sail. Num futuro longínquo, terei lido mais do que já li sobre as relações entre a área vélica e a resistência lateral e talvez consiga criar um sistema de ajuste de mastro para permitir armar qualquer uma das duas velas. Há algo na vela latina que me chama... mas entretanto é evitar meter a carroça à frente dos bois ;)
Já começámos a construir a Caravelle - gosto mais das linhas dela! Tinha visto o OZ Goose e ouvido falar das boas características, mas não é a mesma estética :)
Obrigado pela inspiração - vai ser uma aventura!
Superbe !
Thank you Albert.
Love local regattas around my way too. Always a good spread of competition.
Lateens are interesting, but rare around the UK. Do those working boats you were racing use a centreboard or……?
Thanks for the video, lovely shots and the music didn’t drown out the action.
Cheers 🍻😎👍
Hi Rob!
These boats have a 1foot deep full keel and no Ballast! Boat weight and crew position is all that keeps them upright! 😅
Thanks, lateen sails are very interesting in that they go well to windward, Are they cut flat?
Hi, no they are not cut flat. Like most sails, the way you cut and make the sail makes a huge difference in performance!
👍👍👍
Wonderful sailing! But I wonder how you got those shots: drones? (Apologies for my aged lack of tech acumen... ; )
Thank you!
the shots are taken with a 360 camera. It has two 180º lenses on opposing sides of the camera and when the software stitches the two images together it removes the stick automatically. Try looking for the selfie stich shadow😉
@@TheBoatRambler Wow! As for the stick, I was looking for it, which drove me crazy! Cheers and fair winds from Japan.
Nice. Question: Who owns the rights for the dam @ upper Tagus, where it splits off? Spain, Portugal?
Hi!
Everything in Spanish territory is controlled by Spain. There is a treaty nevertheless regarding how much water they can dump/hold to make sure Portugal has an appropriate amount of water flowing. I don't think it works to well tbh but it is what it is...😉
Papa Milhas disliked the video I guess!!!
😂🤣 we are actually good friends and at the end of each regatta we usually get together with her skipper and have a few 🍻
Looks real fun and for a moment I thought the inflatable start line crew were considering bailing out!!! Do you race to local or international rules?
They did!! they didn't have too but got too scared and started the outboard and moved a couple of feet!! 😂
We race to local rules only. Unfortunately not enough boats to impose too many rules and still get enough ppl to participate on the regattas...
What is the sail made of? It looks so much lighter than usual canvas.
Hi MrChyort!
The sails have different specs, have a look at this video for the details:😉
ruclips.net/video/YlMheBITKo4/видео.html
How does the lateen sail compare to the lug sail?
Hi,
the Lug is more versatile, easier handle and to reef, and much safer on jibes etc.
I believe the lateen sail points slightly higher, at least Princesa can point slightly higher than my GIS in particular if i'm on the "bad tack"
What kind of Sail and rig would you advise for a beginning Sailor?
I'm no expert but get a boat with a single sail. Probably the simplest wound be a triangular sail.
I learned on a sunfish style boat (same kind of look, same basic rig bit made by someone else) great fun very, very wet. When I got a little older (early to mid teens) I spent a lot of time on a Catalina 14.2 as well as a similar sized plywood skiff with a tiny outboard. The 14.2 took some readjusting too because of the sloop rig but the learning curve wasn't very steep because of a basic understanding of how sails work formed on the sunfish.
