- Join me on an unforgettable sailing journey aboard the Luara, a beautifully preserved 1908 Morecambe Bay fishing boat. This video captures our cruise from Bangor to Neylan Marina in Wales, a voyage that not only took us across the picturesque waters but also transported us back in time.
Luara is a stunning example of maritime history, a gaff-rigged vessel. It was the first experience navigating on this kind of classic boat. I loved her red sails, ropes, and wooden hull. Sailing on her is not just navigating waters; it's experiencing a piece of history.
The gaff rig, with its distinctive sail setup, provided a hands-on experience of traditional sailing techniques, demanding skill and offering satisfaction in return.
The video captures the essence of this timeless sailing experience - from hoisting the sails to maneuvering through the sea, each moment is a blend of challenge and tranquility.

It was lovely watching your passage and hearing your commentary. I particularly enjoyed the ghost story. I hope you don't mind if I adopt it as I enjoy telling a good story. And I am the owner of a Morcambe Bay prawner, Strumpet, one of the GRP hulls taken from the mold of the William Priestly. I go back in the water in 12 days. Cheers.
Hermoso 🇦🇷😊
On all vessels you don’t do shifts, you do watches!!!! You don’t go down stairs, you go below.!!! Great video. More adventures please. Capt John.
Thanks! My English is still in progress and I'm learning a lot by making these videos, because I can refine the accuracy of the terminology I use. Also, it might be useful to others who are in my same position..
Classic lines and perfect video of her in her element.
There is no need for music just record the natural sounds of the sea and wind.
I'm so pleased to see Laura in good hands. I knew her well in the late 90's when Gale Heard used to win all the Old Gaffers races on the East Coast in Essex , Suffolk and Kent. My old 1870 Emma of Bosham (I still have her) was fast but not as fast as Laura. Fair winds.
Mike was telling us about a special green sail...
Thank you Andrea, for a great film about your voyage
I'm glad you liked it!! 😀 Thank you!
Thank you for showing us this gorgeous boat. We see them but we don't see them functioning. Fantastic.
Glad you enjoyed it!!
It was the. first time for me as well on a classic boat.... it was a great experience!
Wonderful Andrea. Thank you. Gary in japan
Great video, Lovely boat, and yes more stories please.
More to come!
A lovely video, very well edited and excellent choice of music, AND what a lovely lovely boat. In my 20's I used to sail on a Falmouth quay Punt called Piskie and also on a Bristol Channel Pilot cutter, Marguerite T. Happy days.
Thanks a lot! I'd love to sail a Bristol Channel Pilot cutter one day!
Great video Andrea, I certainly enjoyed sailing her back to Bangor. Hope to meet up with you again.
Hope we can sail more on her!
Great video Andrea, you’ve got the touch! 😀 This is a brilliant crew advert for Laura. We are planning to sail to Isle of Man this year maybe we can make the sequel. Best wishes, Mike
Sure Mike I'd love to... Is it just Laura or other boats as well?
Vang the gaff....
Awesome, just awesome.
Thanks !
Circa 1974 I owned and worked May Baxter FD82. Probably one of the last blokes alive that worked a prawner out of Jubilee Quay, Fleetwood.
How was it? I guess hard work when the weather wasn't great?
It had its ups and downs, but overall it was good. My only regret now, is that I was too young to appreciate that I was actually partaking in living history.@@andreafabi4135

No dead reckoning! Lazy and set for trouble later!!
Since completing my day skipper some 10 years ago, I haven't seen many sailors using dead reckoning. I occasionally do it for enjoyment, like when I navigated a couple of legs between Croatia's isles last year without gps. But dead reckoning now is somewhat of a lost art. Most sailors rely on modern technology for accuracy and convenience.
