Fantastic. Just fantastic. A real nautical engineering piece. Truly convincing. Don't know anything about navigation but I couldn't think of anything that size any better. Not one wasted inch.
This boat can't be much further away from the landlubber's floating apartment yacht that stays in a marina forever. The boats are my kind of boat. Practical, simplicity, and safety. I also noticed the lack of things which can rot.
Greetings from Chile, city of Puerto Montt, because I met you many years ago in ushuaia Argentina, I sailed on the Victory ship of Captain Ben Garret in the year 1990 1991 and well beautiful sailboat very well planning of navegation and household items greetings
@@bigredinfinity3126 Who needs sailing experience here? Delos? Cause they have the chops... Or Ptofte? Are you suggesting they need experience sailing to want to see sailors go to a certain area and sail a certain type of boat? Do less drugs so your thoughts make sense.
Wow! Things have changed a bit since I read “The Gypsy Moth Circles the World” back in the year it was published! I was a new sailor then, 13 yrs old and making my way around Canada’s Muskoka Lakes in an 11’ Moth scow! Incredible vessel - safe as milk! Peace
AMAZING BOAT !!!! I would love to sail on a southern ocean expedition with you and your crew. Hopefully in 2017...I'm in school now getting my skippers license... I love offshore sailing
something, idk what, made me check out ur channel and I agree 100% with what u say in the description!!! Hope u got ur license by now and u r sailing as I type this ...
These are truly awesome boats. I would buy this over Garcia any day. But there are some things that make no sense to me. Namely: 1. Why not have a twin engine setup? If one engine fails, you can use the other one to get out of trouble. 2. Why not have a hank-on headsails? It is the most simple and bombproof system known to man. So I'll give these boats 9 out of 10...
Hi, great video. So did you personally design Pelagic Australis to be similar to Pelagic or is this a common design? Also, do you often have much cause to use the lifting keel feature? And, if I may, how do you rate the aluminium hull versus steel with regards durability and corrosion resistance? Many thanks.
Is it correct that one of the ultimate safety factors of Pel. Australius (and later even larger Pelagic ships) is that the raised and water-tight pilot house provides a near fail-safe righting moment in the event that the ship is rolled 180 degrees upside-down? Does P. Australius even have an area of negative stability?
For folks that film boat tours, please do a slow walk through from bow to stern and vice versa above and below, then go over the details, close ups on some random winch really don’t work without a frame of reference
Hello Pelagic crew! Two questions: What is the thickness of the hull for both boats? Do you think you lose any stability or reliability with the retractable keel as opposed to a fixed keel? Thanks!
I read a Q&A with Jimmy Cornell, he answered this question with, its not the boat it is the sailor. He took a lightweight Displacement boat to the Antarctic through the roaring 40,50 and 60s. He said he never dropped the keel. It was a Alubat Ovni 395. Compared to these two, that is super light.
These are sturdy and functional sailboats, great job designing them! And no, catamarans are not safe, with a high center of gravity and zero righting momentum, look at all the tragic accidents recently!

@@timothyblazer1749Take the Queens birthday storm where many mono hulls were lost with loss of life. It was the biggest rescue effort in New Zealand naval history.

Hi Skip. How much fuel do you you use per week or per month for your refleks heater? Every cabin has a radiator...nice! Your boat looks awesome! -Rebecca on SV Brick House
Usually no firearms or crossbows if you're traveling. It a hassle at best, and can get you a lot of unwanted attention at worst. You risk losing them at every country's check-in, and you have a much higher risk of never seeing them again when you go to check out. A lot of cruising guides touch on this. Some people do carry firearms but it definitely limits where you can go. Plus unless you're American it probably never crosses your mind.
Skip have you seen the firmament dome, that the world is enclosed by, because you know your not upside down when your in Antarctica. Your just closer to the edge of the circular horizontal plane, which is the true shape of our world.
I see this mistake a lot on these boat tours. For some reason the cameramen seem to think the narrator is the subject, and not the boat. Hint; the most interesting man in the world could be giving the boat tour and we wouldn't give hoot. Show us the boat.
It’s wonderful to see the evolution of thought and design from these up to the Vinson of Antartica. Superb.
Fantastic. Just fantastic. A real nautical engineering piece. Truly convincing. Don't know anything about navigation but I couldn't think of anything that size any better. Not one wasted inch.
Thanks for the tour. You know what you're doing!
Absolutely amazing set up - especially Pelagic Australis. Thanks for the tour
Thanks for posting and sharing!
This dude earned my respect in the Whitbread Global Race. A good team leader!
Thanks for the detailed tour!
Cannot wait to see the new Pelagic 77 from KM. Andy UK
Very well thought out boats. I love the attention to safety. Seems to be unmentioned on many boat tours.
Thanks for sharing - a very interesting and impressive boat :)
Very well conceived, and could sail in total confiance.
The kind of boat I would have cruis a long time everywher, with!
Thanks for sharing !
Man, what beautiful boats!
Хорошее Видео!!! Спасибо За Обзор!!! Всем Добра Здоровья!!!

Are you actually serious ??? do you have any sailing experience
plus the million dollar price tag and the up keep
their will be another before long ;)

Awesome! I'd love to join your expeditions.
I have a total man-crush on this dude and his boats.I'd be interested to hear his thoughts on the Dashews boat "Beowulf"
That boat is insanely cool. I'm craving a popsicle.
The Best!!!
Delicious food for boat-nerds. Thanks!

Nice, but I’m miss a show of the engine room and the technician stuff, the heart 😄
Good design thanks
Magnificent boats! What is a smaller and self-sail version of either boats? Any recommendations? Thanks!
Excellent.....not quite a Volvo/ Whitbread flyer....but an amazing layout! All manual, perfect! Thx, Andrew
I would guess... about 8-8.5 knots at "normal" conditions
Hi Skip! This is Simone Tacchi from Rome, do you remember me? Hope to see you again one day! ⛵💍
Brilliant
I love watching your videos but I have a question. What’s your favorite book on the shelf?
Legendary skip...er and boat. x
Fourth reef in the main and bob's your uncle. They should sell t-shirts printed with that.

Nice Video, Nice Boats, but how fast do you usually sail,with these Boats?
Anyone know what tool rolls/holders those are hanging?

Hello Skip, how are you? were are you at moment? all the best
What is the motoring range at most efficient speed?

Shocking camera work at 7:00, just filmed the bathroom door XD
The lay out is similar to the cigal 14 and 16, I think they would be better with the births set up like these two.

At 12:15 the boat behind him "Ice Bird" what sort of rig is that?
Aero Rig... it's okay I found it...

came here to see the boat.... all i saw was the skipper.... pan that camera!

Keep any firearms or crossbows?
Single genset?
Couldn't tell what your heaters run on. Diesel?
Dry suits for diving?
Usually no firearms or crossbows if you're traveling. It a hassle at best, and can get you a lot of unwanted attention at worst.

Where does “Bob’s your uncle” come from?
How much did she cost???
Nice guess skipper, but I don't have any uncles named Bob
Skip have you seen the firmament dome, that the world is enclosed by, because you know your not upside down when your in Antarctica. Your just closer to the edge of the circular horizontal plane, which is the true shape of our world.
We are rigged for everything ...
and Bob is your uncle!
Bob's your uncle? What about the second lunch?
One more question are you a Freemason, my traveling friend.
[6:57] Yeah! cameraman. Novak is so beautiful! Isn't he a beauty? Yeah, keep the camera focused on him, who cares about the boat the guy is showing?
I see this mistake a lot on these boat tours. For some reason the cameramen seem to think the narrator is the subject, and not the boat. Hint; the most interesting man in the world could be giving the boat tour and we wouldn't give hoot. Show us the boat.
@@operator0 but it's Skip Novak 😂 not that important to see the boat or to see how the head is laid out who uses that, again 😂

Camera man sucked.
Skip you got a big nose
