New subscriber from somewhere near Seattle. Love your channel and big old wooden boats! Would you please give me a link, so I can watch your first vid? Kindest regards...
Hi thanks for watching. I think there will be, 7 eps up to Ep3 . Ep 4 and 5 will be the Wooden Boat Festival don't miss them over the next couple of weeks. But here is the complete playlist www.youtube.com/@sailingduyfken5948/playlists
This series is great! Did you use dog watches at all? That way you don't end up doing the same watches all the time and rotate through them. I have heard the 2-6 gunner explanation is a bit of an urban legend - mostly because those positions are on the same side of the gun! You must have an incredible amount of footage to go through!
Looking at the history of the phrase, the gun crew theory has been pretty well disproven, as 2 and 6 would be on the same side of the gun and it would take more than 2 men to haul a 2.5 ton cannon, even with tackle. There are literary references dating back to 1911 indicating the phrase, "One, two...six, heave!" There is some thought this may have been meant more accurately as, "1 to 6, heave!" Thus meaning all crew from 1 to 6 coordinate their pull, and as the years went on it was simply shortened to, "2, 6...heave!" This also dovetails a bit with use of the French nautical phrase at the time, "Toutes six houle," meaning, "All six heave!" There is no mention of a gun crew in this, so it is assumed to apply to the 6 crewmen assigned to a hauling task, likely of sail.
Duyfken I'm doing a little research on how such a ship would be called in period. I read names like Pinnace and Full rigged Pinnace. I's size is around that of Godspeed a small galleon. But Duyfken is not a galleon. How to properly call her?
As always you have produced another outstanding video but Paul, you should have handed off the camera and jumped into the sea! Where's your bollocks? ; ) I can hardly wait for the wooden boat show and all will be forgiven! Thanks for taking us along! I am thoroughly enjoying this series!............⛵⛵⛵

Hi Simon, yes dog watches so you get 10 hours off every second day(3 watches), yes enough footage for 7 eps...not sure about the 2/6, cheers Paul

I'm not sure exactly...I will have to ask the powers to be but I think a Bark, cheers Paul
@@sailingduyfken5948 this is what my research says as well!
As Bark and Pinnace were used interchangeably
