04 | Offshore Passage on our Wooden Boat- Neah Bay to San Francisco
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 17 ม.ค. 2022
- Our dream of sailing offshore in our wooden Ingrid ketch has come true. We sailed down the US West Coast to San Francisco Bay, with stops in Newport, Coos Bay, Eureka, and Drake's Bay. This was the first time we had Julia on the open ocean, and she handled it beautifully, safely delivering her crew under the Golden Gate Bridge.
Julia is an Ingrid Ketch, designed by William Atkin and built in 1960. She is a traditional wooden boat, built of doug fir planking on oak frames. The length on deck is 37.5 ft and the waterline is 30 ft.

Julia appears to be a rare combination of beauty and wooden boat craft. Unless one has owned an old wooden boat, it is hard to appreciate the beautiful attention to detail on all of the countless small parts that go into such a vessel.
Beautiful old wooden boat. I'd love to look it over in person. Can you give us a video tour sometime?
Such a lovely vessel in absolutely Bristol condition. Love the pacing and musical selections of your vlog and looking forward to more …
Quality film, thank you. As a wooden boat owner, may I say that your boat is immaculate! Fair winds.
Living my dream
Such a beautiful video, captured so much, thank you for sharing this 😊
Your videos are both inspiring and very informative. The shots of the rig and rigging show the clean classic lines of a well thought out and well found boat. Thanks and fair winds.
A fantastic video... It struck me how well an pleasant it was narrated,,, i noticed this on the previous video as well. Thanks for shearing.
Best regards from Jarle
You guys are really inspiring, and your boat is a paragon of traditional beauty and strength. Most people that don't work on boats have no idea the amount of blood sweat and tears you guys have put into your endeavour. I've shared your dream for years, and my partner and I bought our boat last year, we couldn't find the wooden Atkin double ender we were looking for up here in BC but we settled on a fiberglass Tom Gilmer designed double ender. Our plan was to buy the boat and spend 4-5 years fitting out and then head offshore. Seeing you guys making it happen spurs me on even more. We have to do a rig rebuild, going to go with served dux for the standing rig like you guys did, bronze external chainplates, and I'm strongly considering going to a wood mast and boom. I just love and understand working with wood so much more than aluminum.
Wish you all the best for your continuing voyages. Maybe see you out there someday.
Great soundtrack and content....
Well done! Transiting that stretch without serious problems is an accomplishment, particularly for a shakedown cruise. Look forward to more episodes.
A fine classic sea boat, and a seamanlike crew. Reminded me of the Smeeton's ketch 'Tzu Hang'. Inspiring stuff, thanks!
Ah, one seldom hears of Bea and Miles these days. I was fortunate to have lunch with Bea and John Guzzwell aboard 'Treasure' back in the late 70's when we were anchored in the same cove near Friday Harbor Washington. They had not seen each other in a good while and talked with each other about their shared 'times' under the Horn, it was all I could do to not say 'yeh! I remember that part', from the book. I always wanted to take my Marco Polo around the Horn, but kept running out of money to get that far. A treasured memory, that afternoon. -Veteran '66-68
Beautiful journey. Great footage of those crazy swells! I bet they looked even bigger in person. Thanks!
Absolutely beautiful vessel. 🌬⛵🌊
Well informed and cautious, great way to start all voyages, I sincerely enjoyed your video. Thank you
Beautiful! Excited to follow along with your adventure.
Awesome! Congrats! And enjoy SF ... ;-)
you captured the swell and waves better than any sailing channel I have seen on youtube. half way. between seku and neahabay you passed my friends home i used to work at Callum bay
Stunning craft and great video! Thank you! I’m all in. Fair winds and following seas!
“A decade of saving and preparing” says volumes. Nothing comes easily or falls into your lap.
Outstanding adventure on a beautiful boat! You folks are me new heroes!
So glad I cam across your channel, beautiful boat and wonderful adventure. Thanks for sharing. Your boat is like a antique piece of furniture possessing both ruggedness and character.
Just discovered your videos. Delightful. Thank you. Now to work through the rest of them.
Great video! I hope you keep making them!
That looked like a lovely trip and thanks for the place names as you travelled as I am in Melbourne Australia and many other people who make videos do not always put the places they are passing or staying at in the video so someone such as myself can follow along. I love your boat and she looks like a very comfortable cruising vessel from one wooden boat enthusiast to another.
The magic of a voyage... Just beautiful...
Thanks for a great video I hope they keep coming
What an accomplishment to all of you!!! Beautiful video, narrative and music. Can’t wait for the next installment of your adventures!!!! Gordon and Linda
Very nice boat and trip. Thank you
very nicely done, both the video and the sail
your voice brings to mind Rare Earth
and the ease with which that main hoists in mouth-watering
INSPIRING. I am watching all your videos!!
Beautiful wooden classic design boat ⛵️ wishing you fear winds and following seas 🌊 and many beautiful adventures. Greetings from Hawaii islands 🏝 🌴 🌇
Loving this video. Five minutes into the video and I don't see anyone with a varnish brush yet! Don't let that beautiful brightwork get away from you....eternal vigilance is the price of varnished teak!
Music perfect
Brilliant!
Excellent episode, Thank you !
Just wonderful - like others comments I think you have done a wonderful job of making the viewer feel what it is like out there. I just loved it. Keep up the good work.
Beautiful film. Beautiful boat. We did nearly the same trip in 2015 in our Columbia 43. Your closing line is just what we felt and it has the added advantage of being true. Fair winds and following seas.
Brandon, Oceanus
Your video-making style fits your beautiful boat.
Great video!
Thanks for sharing your adventure.
Brilliant all the way around. Stay groovy and stay safe.
I would like to know more about their boat. What little I could see was lovely!
That was AMAZING! Fantastic job documenting your trip. Although I was hoping to see your Pops hoisting the main, or at least the jib. HA! Looking forward to seeing more of your trip. SAIL ON, Sailors!
What an excellent video! Very good planning on your passage. You seemed to hit all the good weather windows! Your channel brings back floods of memories for me as in my younger days I too sailed on an Ingrid. The finest classic yacht ever made!
Great job!!
Seattle to San Fran is definitely a feather in any sailors cap.
From Oly, I watched you building this boat and know that your work as excellent. Happy to see you and your family at sea, hope you enjoy and learn what sailing is al about.
Beautiful...
Looks like fun surfing!
I am looking for a new boat. It will be a ketch! Thank you for helping me decide
Golden Gate Bridge is a pretty spectacular modern marvel to see.. San Francisco is a dump and I wouldn't go there for a so-called vacation.. you stop north of there and there's some beautiful wine country. Used to spend some free time in Gilroy. It's the garlic capital of the world..
Lovely passage - rather idyllic..At times it all seem melancholy and time seems to stand still. That's it - sailing comes with it's highs and lows, but when after an endless time, comes a new port and the excitement and reward has few parallels. The Bliss of sailing definitely outweighs the lows
Thanks for sharing
thank you Madison Boartworks well done indeed or well begun.
Enjoy wooden sailboat ⛵️ to San Francisco, CA . Mike from Missouri
Great video. As a long time wooden boat owner, I admire the TLC you guys put into your vessel. The sheet to tiller stuff works OK in light conditions with a well balanced boat but I have to ask, have you had a chance to test it in a blow where you're caught out for days at a time? Our course with enough sea room, you could always heave to and the design of your boat should make that easy and comfy but there will be a time when you may have to motorsail to get out of danger and that is where a robust tiller pilot will be your best friend. Pricy but quite a comfort. Also, you did good getting the Neah Bay to SF leg behind you safely but don't under estimate the rest of the world! Even the outside of the Baja can serve up some challenging stuff ! Fair winds and following seas.
I love wooden boats.
I have had two ex wooden boats
Thank you...
Supremely good! just discovered your channel, and I'm impressed by your unique style and the way you tell your story. Spent some time in Seattle, and almost bought a boat up there, but the timing wasn't right. Hope to see you on the high seas someday, and keep up the good work. cheers, James
Amazing that the Golden Gate Bridge passed over the boat. I've always thought the bridge to be a stationary object, and any boat would therefore pass under the bridge.
Inspiring! Your voyage takes me back to the same leg by John Guzwell in Trekka about 60 years ago. I pray you don't experience the rogue waves in the Southern Ocean as he did. Bon Voyage.
Fantastic! I use a tillerpilot on my Ingrid, game changer on the fatigue level, works fine until big seas. Im' sure your keeping an eye out for a windvane too. I'm at Channel Islands harbour, your going to love it down here.
I enjoyed your video, I just have a few comments, I have sailed from San Francisco to the Puget sound up three times down four, I never saw land
my safe distance was 100 to 150 mi off shore. Away from land effect, away from cape effect, in blue ocean water with steady winds, try it next time.
Your boat looks beautiful but I noticed the deck seemed always cluttered with loose lines, not good seamanship, all lines not being used should always be stowed. A loose line can roll your foot at night not a good idea. Enjoy your future sailing be safe. Captain Tony
Tremendous…
Guess Princess Tours will be scheduling the same route now that you have shown how attractive it is.
👍👍👍
I migliori video di navigazione a vela in assoluto! Bravi!
Welcome to San Francisco! Let me know if you need anything.
Glad to see yer “Out-N-About” in these Times…Have ya made any Decision on where ya going yet? Continue to Stay Safe & Enjoy😎
Made a day, bay sailor out of me.
Thanks for this video. Can you tell us about the dinghy that's tied to your cabin top ?
I've done that trip. Long long time ago.
When did you all visit? I'm in Alameda in SF Bay. Great video, thanks!
👍
Julia is a BEAUTIFUL boat. You have done an amazing job keeping her in shape. Curious when you are in port where are you finding work shiops to work on boat projects?
Your low-commentary style is interesting.
What about the daily life on board?
Good voyage. I would have watched more. Ideal conditions. How far track offshore?
Well done! Looking forward to your next video. Can you tell me about your sheet to tiller system? I have not seen a board used on the sheet. Is there a reference source?
Self-Steering for Sailing Craft by John Letcher is the definitive source. I carry it onboard. On larger jibs, the sheet loads are too high to couple directly to the tiller, the device gives a way of reducing the load and increasing the stroke. The various holes are used for adjustment in varying wind strengths.
@@MadisonBoatworks Thank You! Very helpful I know of the book and will order.
Appears like you have sheet-to-tiller steering setup. Did it work for you ? I ask because I'm just now rigging it up on my boat (to do the same stretch of water). Nicely done video story!
It works pretty well but struggles somewhat dead downwind, like most self steering. Unfortunately there is a lot of ddw on this passage. It may be worth bearing off and gybing a few times to have a more stable course.
Good job! At 4.02, shows a lever arm jigged onto a sheet, is that a lever arm for your self steering? Never seen one like that in action. How far delayed are your videos posted to real time?
How does your auto-pilot work ?
Hi, great journey and video! At 4.02 ... is this some sort of "self steering" mechanism, connected to the tiller as well? would be very interested to learn more .... thanks!
Same here. Thank you.
Just curious as to what the wooden implement is at about the 4m mark? It is on the starboard side and has line running through it.
I have watched many a sailing channel but thus is the first time of seeing an item like that.
Thank you, in advance, for any information you might share.
I think it is sheet to tiller steering???
How many days did it take to get to San Francisco. How many days did you wait weather. What month? Fall?
Would have loved to hear the wind and the waves. Sadly, I had to mute the entire video due to the obtrusive "music".
Found your channel.. its promising but one thing you have to realize is that majority of sailing viewers just want to watch actual day to day life on a boat while sailing.. we couldnt care less about soundtrack or background music or views above deck.. just show us your day to day life to include all the hard stuff and frustrating stuff you do on the boat and not just the good stuff... Show us you eating, sleeping and whatnot inside the boat.. this presentation is too one sided.. like a coin im seeing mostly the heads and not the tails... Show us the bad stuff, the regular stuff that we can relate.. we couldnt care less about land also... Im not sure if i want to continue on the next episode if all im getting is b-rolls and music.. sigh.. may i suggest channels like sailing zatara.. you dont even have to explain or narrate.. let the film do the talking.. may i recommend films of akira kurosawa for you to understand what i mean.... let nature talk.. enough with the soundtrack and background music... Less talk and more natural filming... If you have to explain everything and do monologues then its one boring journey for us viewers...
agree. silence (or absence of music) is a rare thing these days. just joined this channel. I have enjoyed what i've seen so far, but i've been distracted by the mood music to the point of turning the sound off or way down and wondering if I'm missing something. The selections aren't the issue, it's just that the sounds of a wooden boat, waves, wind, rigging, the noises of going about your business at sea are what I really want to hear. I'm not here to meditate. I'm here to experience an offshore trip in a beautiful wooden boat vicariously through the video. Glad I'm not the only one.
@@mikewoodard6984 hehe we share the same opinion.... thanks i hope they take this constructive criticism positively..... The sound of the wind and waves splashing to the hull is enough music to our ears... ❤️ 👍
If you motor in bad wind conditions, you're not sailors. No offense, I'd love to sail with you anytime.

Wow. You spent all that time watching the video to make a shitty comment. What boat do you sail?
