Hi I think there is somewhere, I don't have the link. It was built in 1997 in Fremantle, Perth. Now based in Sydney, Thanks for watching, cheers Paul

Well they did and this Duyfken has sailed all the way back to Amsterdam in 2000 and has also circumnavigated Australia... thanks for following, and leaving a comment , cheers Paul

it was, cheers Paul

Glad you enjoyed it James , cheers Paul

That was the Leeuwin based in Fremantlw WA and yes it was devastating news. That's half the youth sailing training options in Australia gone in an instant. It's not clear if it's worth spending $Aus10 million to re -rig her when the hull would have sustained some stress damage when coming down and as a steel ship the hull plates probably only have 10-15 years life left in them. A very sad day. Thanks for watching Sailing Duyfken and I hope you enjoy the other videos, cheers Paul

The answer is I don't really know. The ship was built in Fremantle in 1999 the shipwrights made that decision then...could be the copper was too expensive and they had volunteers to do the anti fouling.But yes copper plate was used a lot. Can I suggest a brilliant animated video on how 16th century tall ships were built and sailed by a very clever man at 'Animagraffs' on you tube, you would love it, cheers Paul

Thanks Jade, I couldn't make Friday, but thanks to you and the team for great job, I hope to see you over the water soon, cheers Paul

@@sailingduyfken5948 I have my interview to volunteer at the museum this Saturday

@@jadegale4963 great is that with Mirjam or Andrew? I'm away sailing on my boat this weekend. The first video ( haul out) has gone a little bit viral 24K views in 7 days which for sailing Duyfken is huge. See you at the museum, cheers Paul

Thanks Rueben, cheers Paul

To be honest I hate to think but a lot ....tens of thousands, cheers Paul

Unfortunately for insurance purposes only their staff are allowed to do the work but I chip in back at the museum, cheers Paul

Hi, well we don't have enough room for a workshop so below decks is often a mess. But the Endeavour replica also has a hidden workshop up forward, Im think their bosun sleeps there as well. Thanks for watching and checkout the other videos on the playlist. We are trying to grow interest in the channel. Cheers Paul

Yes It's sailing replica, but by marine law if you having paying passengers you must have auxillary power and lets' face it oars won't cut it. Thanks for watching, cheers Paul

⁠In the day, auxiliary power would have been a ship’s boat or two with the strongest men on board, rowing their hearts out, or hauling kedge anchors. Not a lot of horsepower, and not economical, these days.

yep, visiting tall ships don't happen that often in Sydney. Thanks for watching, cheers Paul

Great yes she's a lovely ship. So sad to hear about the Leeuwin though. Our normal skipper is over there at the moment and a couple of our crew have sailed on her. Thanks for watching, cheers Paul

And new York was New Amsterdam....the Dutch were everywhere. Thanks for watching, cheers Paul

Thanks Jim yes it was a great day, cheers Paul

Well I think she's going to the Caribbean and Miami so probably East coast, cheers Paul

Yep she was the 1st ship to bring Europeans to Australia in 1606, lamding at Weipa, 164 years before capt Cook and the British. She was part of the VOC trading spices in the Dutch East Indies....Indonesia. Thanks for watching, cheers Paul

Yep check out their website for dates, thanks for watching, cheers Paul

Well if you are still sailing on the Leeuwin say hello to Callam and Richard, cheers Paul

Yes very small, original crew about 25 and they all slept on deck for 8 months back to Amsterdam, in all weather. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment, cheers Paul

They don’t make Humans like they used to, at least not as much. Cheers From California 😎

Last week going back there today to hopefully get some scraping. The fire was on a barge near the Steyne, I also saw it on the news, cheers Paul

Oh ok - must have been some fake news! Looks like only small barnacles which a robot doesn't usually remove. Unique footage of the Duyfken 👍 at 110 ton it's no wonder the winch broke. (They don't make them like that anymore😅)

Great to meet you today paul on the slipway, looking forward to joining you as a Volunteer in the near future

@@jadegale4963 Hi Jade I've told Andrew Bibby the Duyfken bosun that you were keen his email is andrew.bibby@sea.museum

@@jadegale4963 Hi Jade Andrew the Duyfken Bosun is andrew.bibby@sea.museum

You and me both!, cheers Paul

Did you know, "given a stern talking too" comes from troublesome sailors who were summoned to the stern deck where the officers stood to be dressed down? cheers Paul

yep thanks again for watching Bob, cheers Paul

aah times have changed it's all about insurance risk now.

Yep

only if they let me scrape, cheers Paul

or my concertina playing, thanks for watching , cheers Paul

On the back of a transport ship cost an absolute fortune, they couldn't get a crew to sail her across the bight. Which is weird as she sailed all the way back to Amsterdam in 2002 and also around Australia. Thanks for watching, cheers Paul

@@sailingduyfken5948 There was some crew in WA who were able/willing to get her over to NSW, however not a full crew. The rest would have had to come over from the east. At the time however the WA (covid) hard border was in place, so we just couldn't get enough people to crew the ship, hence why it had to be freighted much to the disappointment of the WA crew.

Thanks again for watching James and leaving a comment, cheers Paul

Yes I understand how modern technology has improved cordage but there is something special about natural fibre rope even though it doesn't last very long. Thanks for watching, cheers Paul

@@sailingduyfken5948 very true and agreed. Glad there are folks like you and the crew of the Duyfken who put in the effort to maintain its authenticity!

@@liwoszarchaeologist Thanks

Love it thanks Bob, I'll definitely use that when guiding, cheers Paul

Thanks Bob, you will be happy to know she is still going strong and gets a lot of loving attention. Very popular with the public and sails every Friday and Saturday on the harbour in Summer. I'll say hello to Andrew the Botswain for you, cheers Paul

No not really...thanks for watching, cheers Paul

Over in Perth, good on you...she's still going strong in Sydney, thanks for watching, cheers Paul

@@sailingduyfken5948 yup I joined her 2 weeks after she returned to Australia

Thanks Paul for sharing that story, cheers Paul

Ha ha yes there is a case for that though some really enjoy it, thanks for watching, cheers Paul
