    Love the classic full tumble home hull shape and the cut away front nose to push through the water.

    Sometimes it is good to miss something, because when it is back it is twice or even more times as sweet.
    I missed your videos and am more than happy to see them and you back.
    Respect.

    The green on the boat blends in nicely with the color of the suroundings, perfect fit for this place on earth. Great work with the edit, I really liked the cuts on the way down and the music to go with it. Thank you for keeping us updated.

    Oh, your boat is sutch a pearl! The color setting is perfekt! I thougt she had been build in the 1960-ties, but then i saw the bougt froster so she must be younger. Hope you both get some time on her during the autumn!⛵🎃🕊🇸🇪

    • @lifeislikesailing
      @lifeislikesailing  2 года назад

      Thank you and we love her, she was built in 1979 so yes a little younger than a 60s boat. This summer has been mostly maintenance, but hoping to get out for some off-season cruising. :)

      I spent a bit of time just looking at Northern Dancer V on the hard, and she has nice lines below the waterline as well I think. :). Yes, that large burner is great!

  • @davidmacomber1614
    @davidmacomber1614 2 года назад +2

    Like I said before, love the boat. You got a real gem. I have yet to see one as nice as yours. I recently went to Solomon, Md to see a supposedly 43 ketch, however, even though the several year old survey states she’s s 43, her layout says 41 , at most (to me) and not even a decent shower. On top of that, way overpriced for condition. Take a look on YW, you’ll see what I mean. Funny thing, I could “not” stand up behind the helm, without hitting my head on the mizzen. Makes me wonder if the mizzen isn’t set correct or I’m just to tall for a 43 (6’2). Bummed. Because I was really hoping for a good one

    • @lifeislikesailing
      @lifeislikesailing  2 года назад +1

      Thank you and we feel very lucky to have become the new owners of ND5, we know that she has been well-loved her entire life and we of course will continue to care for her. I haven't been on a 41, but I am sure there is a bit of a difference as we all know what 2ft in size difference can look like! I hope your search finds you a decent one! :)

  • @geofftitterton8977

    Love the stove, but a little concerned with the clearance from the rear burner to the cabinetry! Particularly when there's a pot on the burner!

    • @lifeislikesailing
      @lifeislikesailing  2 года назад

      Clearance is fine, no closer than the rear burner on the stove I took out. Camera doesn't always show things in correct perspective. 😁

  • @applesoranges-
    @applesoranges- 2 года назад +1

    It's so peaceful, and green, and wet. I made this comment before, so I hope I'm not too annoying, but please make sure your chainplates are ok below deck, especially in your rainy climate. Not sure how you would do that, short of an X-ray, but I don't know much about boat maintenance. I remember the locally based (San Diego) Hans Christian 36 Rebel Heart was lost in the middle of the ocean due to hidden chainplate damage.

      You live in a beautiful area and I really enjoyed my time in Maple Bay, but after nearly 3 weeks on the hard there I am gone.

    The prop when you rotated it did not look as if it was giving you an equal pitch in both forward and reverse, might I suggest a closer look and investigation.

    • @lifeislikesailing
      @lifeislikesailing  2 года назад

      I did notice the pitch difference as well, but this is my first Max Prop. I'll ask the mechanic, but he did a full service on the prop so if something was off I am sure he would have mentioned it.
