    I've been aboard your boat Tom when I met you and Roz just after you had it delivered and you were in the Hamble. It's a fabulous yacht with all the right things in the right place as I'd expect from you. And yes I signed the visitors book ...

Mary’s Georgia and I’m about to embark on a journey, thanks Tom for your very knowledgeable information from a old salty sailor ⛵️👍

    3:04 "Well, I don't want a flat-screen TV on my boat..." Too right, mate! What a perfect comment! And what a lovely, personal, and 'home-y' video. And the fact that that photo has been with you and Ros for decades is so touching! Would love to see her do a short video sometime on Life With Tom, it would be a corker!

  • @alexandermenzies9954
    @alexandermenzies9954 2 года назад +1

    There's much to learn from looking at your saloon and surrounds, Tom. Memorable words indeed, not looking like a skiing shed or workshop, not slumming it and not watching [f*##$] TV. Lighting which can alter brightness and colour temperature, oil lamps and giving the eyes a rest from summer harshness. The table is a masterpiece that does not look like a caravan or motel feeding station. The soft furnishings are just right.
    I hope a build happening at the moment takes a few clues! There nothing like experience and taste.

    Well from the name of my channel you won't doubt that I share your thoughts wholeheartedly Tom. We have a Westerly Konsort which I'm pleased to say the previous owners, of which there has been but two, made her very cosy below. She's lacking an oil lamp though which I intend to remedy before she dips her keels in the water this year.

    I know every boat takes some work to make it your own, but now I’m a little more aware of what possibilities and ideas to consider when looking at a particular boat 👍🏻

    Captain, keeping your boat warm is one thing, keeping it warm & dry is another. What's your secret for keeping the cool hulls interaction with the warm air from staining that beautiful varnish?

  • @StemtoSternSailing
    @StemtoSternSailing 2 года назад +2

    Your boat looks wonderful, truly a home on the ocean. I totally agree with you. But i think it's important to use the boat a bit in all sorts of conditions between the moment your idea of personalization or improvement appears before you execute the project, you need at least to consider, in harbor / at anchor, pleasant sailing, rough conditions and by all means also consider the times your mother in law is onboard. Fantastic video as always. Thanks for shearing. Best regards from Jarle

    Thanks, Tom. Informative and entertaining, as ever. You've certainly given me much food for thought. One thing though, I noticed that you had what looked like a very nice brass oil lamp over your saloon table. Could you make any recommendations as to where I could look for something similar? Any guidance will be much appreciated. Thanks, John.

    I applaud you, no flat screen TV, I won't have one in my house let alone boat. Your boat is lovely but I prefer a more work boat come military style. All the the ones of the boat I'm now hoping to buy are the same style as yours and it doesn't suit my neo scruffy life style, and I'm to old to start major modifications..

    Learn from Mr. Cunliffe... it's called a "saloon", not a "salon" as most people seem to want to call it these days. People seem to associate "saloons" with bars, but all "saloon" actually means is "gathering place".
