Smithy's Boatshed is turning into one of my favourite TH-cam channels, for a variety of reasons, footage like this being just one, but the absolute gem is Iains no nonsense explanations of whatever he's doing coupled with his bone dry aussie humour that I'm sure goes right over the head of many viewers. Thank you and keep up the great work! 👍 Kind regards from the UK
Beautiful footage. Both relaxing and exhilarating at the same time. That's a weird combination. My heart beat went up as did my mood, but my breathing relaxed as did my muscle tention. Thanks for sharing this wonderful video. P.S. and thanks to TH-cam for the suggestion of a video on this channel. I've been watching from the oldest trying to watch all of them from the beginning. SUB'd yesterday and bindging...
Yeah, I need a boat I can opperate by myself while the wife just rides along, she won't help, I know that for sure. So nothing this big, though that would be amazing. Something live aboard, that a single person could opperate, with power back-up, that could traverse the oceans, would be ideal. Then, I'd just have to learn how to sail, before taking off for far away lands.
Just like a steam engine conveys it's strength and beauty stationary or in motion so do these magnificent craft. Any amount of this TH-cam just to pacify the soul.
Also... "Never again am I going to make a slippery boat for someone else..." alrighty then, get better deck shoes, or some form of texture in the deck finish?
Wow, the editing here nearly drove me away, with constant cuts back and forth. Was this done for the concentration-of-a-goldfish generation?.......because I don't reckon too many of them are into pilot cutters.
Thank you so much for not adding music to this clip. Just the sound of wind, waves and stillness is good enough
And that cockerel

What magnificent boats.
Wow, those are beautiful cutters, all of them!

Great footage. I sailed with a old dutch ship as a deckhand on a flat bottum boat with side boards, but this is another level. Thanks for the upload.
Szépség verseny...
What pretty sailing ships! I have seen Schooners that are larger, but those just yell fun!
Well crap....now I need one!
And a pirate crew!.

These sail amazingly well in light air.
Gorgeous boats!
The gaff rigged schooners are beautiful! Thanks for filming this race.
A schooner has two (or more,) masts, the forward mast shorter or equal in length to the after mast.
These are cutters, not schooners.
@@q.e.d.9112 I figured someone would correct that comment!
lovely boats, lovely wee film
Nicely done!
Fascinating and wonderful, but what happened off the coast between start and destination? Nothing?
Pretty much. Light breezes, fleet separated, nothing much happened.
Hi I wonder if pilot cutter Candy lights in these races?
Beautiful Boats.
Where is “Kindly Light”?
Those upper sheets could do with a snatch block of sorts.
They have them, just not the design you are probably used to.
Beautiful
Leo Goolden is restoring the 1908 pilot cutter TALLY HO. Check out his channel: Sampson Boat Co.
He is remaking an exquisite piece of furniture at the same time.
I have never seen such good boatbuilding skills.
Do these pilot cutters have winches like modern sailboats
Most do not.
All Armstrong winches I think
They have multi-part block and tackle on most of their running rigging.
ETA they have also have a windlass up forward for raising anchor.
Dual Popeye winches.
Mostly Handraulic winches, tried and true design that's been in use for millenia. 😉
Szépek!!
“Are we clear?”
“ Ah Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha”

💪😎👍.
"Ahhhh, maybe" ah ha ha ha!"
Love that reply.

editor on drugs?

Yes I was trying to follow modern trends, and I agree it was a mistake. Cheers.
"Concentration of a goldfish." Well put.
Nonsensical editing, cutting back and forth was annoying I stopped watching 2.43 .
Then you missed the best part, when they finally stayed with the sailing on open waters.
The editing is not creative, innovative or exciting, just distracting and annoying. The event deserved better.
