thank you to the previous owner......... your generosity made a big difference in Sams future --- to have the capability to give is a wonderful thing. Merry Christmas!

[@trippontwowheels]

Congrats Sam you made it! You look just like Shaggy from Scooby Doo! 🙂

[@alecstrickland7182]

Sam's newfound skill seems to be getting free boats

[@ScottFreeVideos]

My favorite part of the video was the sponsored content. I think I would be exactly the same, not super comfortable with saying what they want me to say in the way they want me to say it. And the Easter egg for anybody reading this is to take a look at the description. He copy and pasted the text they sent him including the stuff that wasn't meant to be pasted. I love it!

[@johnhanselman6371]

Boat people are good people. Giving an useful boat away to Sam who will use it to make new adventures for all us to enjoy.

[@temet.nosce.]

Keel masts are best, especially if you run aground and need to come off the shoal broadside from towing at the top of the mast. And the mast is always less likely to snap off when it's in the keel. Nice freebie.

As a previous Bayfield owner for 17 years I can safely say she never let me down. The Gozzards build an amazing boat. You are going to learn to trust her as much as you trusted the "Herring". Just a tip, my loose tiller was a simple shaft key failure. Sail on Sam, we are all crewing with you in our minds.

[@daveperry5063]

Congratulations Sam. The alcohol stove is dangerous . The flame in sunlight is invisible and I almost had a fire on two sailboats .The learning curve could turn out bad.

[@IO-zz2xy]

What an increadable offer from previous owner. Such generosity is awsome. I am sure he will take great pleasure watching Sam's videos and knowing his old boat is in good hands and sailing to distant horizons.

[@deankoch7305]

I had one simular to that. I installed an engine mount on the sturn and bought a 9.9hp Yamaha OB and it pushed it to Hull speed easy at half throttle and it would run 10 hours on 6 gallons. Esay and cheap. I paid $450 I think...

[@SCOTTBULGRIN]

Awesome, nice to see good people catching a decent break.

[@justme-dm7sb]

Hi Sam, I don't get to watch a whole lot of videos but I try to catch up on you once in awhile. I am hoping that your last surgery was a complete success because that was the one that got me started watching your building and sailing videos. So many people would feel completely handicapped, but not you, you go and sail alone to Hawaii. Hmmm..... I am not a water person, kayaking a class2 and less river is about as far as I go, but you are a true inspiration because of how you simply move forward in your life. May you always be safe and have peace Sam. I was young once and rode dirt bikes out in the mountains alone a lot. My mom would have fits, so I would always kiss her and hug her and tell her, If once I don't come back, you have to remember I was doing what I love the most when I got called home. I will abide the same for you Sam. For now I will watch what I can of your travels.

[@tippyzuk1]

What a nice find, after 30 years, looking to get another boat. Lived year round on my 36' Bayfield for 5 years in Toronto. Diesel heater kept it nice and toasty in the winter.

[@rickharris5485]

I love these free boat/fix up/and sail video series.

[@Teleflexx]

So excited about you starting this new adventure.

[@carlcantrell4781]

I love your attitude. I swear the planet could blow up and you wouldn't get upset, you would just ride your piece through space and enjoy the trip. 🙂

[@peregrinegrace8570]

Pour hot water, 90° centigrade on the bolt rope and haul it up as tight as it will go.

[@gatesgoza9703]

Sam is always the optimist sailor. Can’t wait till next video!

[@kimpeterson6376]

careful Sam, sailboat flipping can be habit forming, I'm 8 years out on 9 sailboats. Between sailboats is only fun because I'm shopping for the next one. My next one will be a converted electric aux power for sure. You should ask for an electric power plant that would be compatible with the existing propeller shaft and develop a system for converting the old inboards to electric

[@cparnaby]

re your mainsail Just cut through the bolt rope at the tack then stretch out the luff and re sew the end of the bolt rope it'll probably move 12-30 cm. It will move in that channel. Yes the bolt rope crimps and its for a purpose. When you put halyard tension on the rope gets to maximum elongation before the sail cloth
