A sailboat rebuild is no small feat - and your help is needed. If you're not in the market to buy a boat, you can participate in the finishing of this restoration by either donating your time or by donating a modest amount of money to help get this classic beauty to the finish line. Either way is a great way to get involved!
In this week’s episode Canadian Ken and I go check out a very impressive schooner that is being rebuilt from stem to stern. Originally built right here in Maine back in 1925, the schooner Hindu has had an impressive and storied life, from being built for her original owner, running “spices” from India, serving in the “Hooligan” Navy patrolling for German U-boats, to serving as a whale watching vessel out of Provincetown, MA - her hailing port. Hindu suffered severe damage 5 years ago and came back to Maine to be repaired. What started as a repair quickly evolved into a complete rebuild. Now, nearly 100 years after she was launched, she will be launched again to begin anew - but continuing in her trade of taking passengers out to sea to enjoy the beauty of the Cape Cod coastline. The goal is to have her launched by June 15, 2024, so the end is in sight. However, there are still many costs associated with finishing this beautiful, William Hand, Jr., designed schooner - and you can help! So, if you’re not in the market to buy a boat, you can still participate and help get this wonderful vessel back in the water. Please visit: www.sailasyouare.org for more information.
Hindu is truly a special boat and over the past four years a community of like-minded sailors and helpers, both paid and volunteered, have worked together to make the “promise to the schooner Hindu” a reality.
For further details on how you can participate, visit www.sailasyouare.org. If you're local to the area and eager to pitch in, drop by the boat shed on US Route 1 in downtown Thomaston, ME. Feel free to stop by anytime or join the Hindu Crew for their Friday Open House sessions starting at 4:30 PM.
Thank you for your support!
Grab some popcorn, sit back, and enjoy the show!

I have been following the rebuilding of Tally Ho by the Sampson boat co out in port Angeles they just launched a few days ago but there a lot of Similarities between these 2 boats and I shall enjoy watching the progress of both now
Yes! They are a blast to watch. Thanks for tuning in here. We’ll have more updates and will be at the launch. Appreciate your comment!
Incredibly beautiful boat. Great project.
Agreed! And thanks for watching!
This was an awesome episode. You must keep us up to date too. Halfway tempted to take a leave (of my senses) and come up to help. Never been to the NE really. As always, a good show if not a normal episode.
Thank you so much. So inspiring to see work like this happening. Thanks for watching!
Yes to Hindu Magic! Awesome episode! ❤️⚓️👏⛵️. Donate, Participate, Celebrate!!
Indeed! Thank you! And I got my raffle tickets, too!
What a fascinating endeavor.
It sure is! And thanks for your continued support, David! Appreciate it.
great video, actually it looks like the start of a very interesting documentary series.
Thanks Jack! At the very least, we’ll be there for her launch in June! Thanks for watching!
Amazing episode. Really sad that I am missing being in Maine for the party in Thomaston by just one day...
Thanks New York Charlie! Sorry you’ll be missing it. But you never know, there might be a delay…
Can you please do an educational video explaining all specifics in the cap size ratio and comfort numbers. I have been looking into this and many articles are saying that these do not take into the differences and weight's. I'm so confused! Do these matter or are they just wrong as thousands of articles are saying? HELP PLEASE!!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Hi Julia! Thanks for your comment and question! Ok, so, we are working on a video that covers these numbers but it will be a few weeks. Don’t get too wrapped up in them! They are really just a tool for comparing similarly sized boats from a similar time period (so you’re comparing apples to apples). Designs from the last century are very different from this century. But, let’s say you’re looking at several boats from the 1980s that are all about the same length: the numbers then become a tool for comparison. The capsize ratio is more or less a non-factor unless you’re planning open ocean racing. The comfort ratio is really a loose metric and if, for example, one boat has a comfort ratio of 40 and the other has one of 20 and you’re prone to seasickness, I’d choose the one with 40. BUT, it really comes down to what you are looking for. These numbers are good for maybe weeding out boats off your list if they are extreme, but I would not buy a boat solely on these numbers. I hope this helps, for now!
That is a work of art.
Thanks for watching and for your comment!
I'll have to drive out to ptown and check this boat out when she comes back to the cape. What a boat. Makes my Tahiti look like a dinghy. Awesome!
Your Tahiti might be smaller but you’re taking the same remarkable journey of saving a worthy boat! I’m definitely going to head out there and take a ride on the HINDU when she’s down there…
Hindu one heck of a project doing a very nice job sorry I can't help wrong coast
You could always help by purchasing at raffle ticket at www.sailasyouare.com! Either way, thanks for watching!
Well this was pissah, for sure, see you at the splash .
Angus
See ya there! Thanks for watching!
How are they going to be ready for splashing when Hindu has no interior??
June 2025?
Ha! Nope. June 2024…
I can’t believe I only just now stumbled upon the project to save Hindu. I searched up their channel and now excitedly watching some of the fascinating backstory. For a wooden boat enthusiast, this is like finding an unopened present tucked back behind the Christmas tree. We’re just now undertaking a smaller but very similar effort on our all-teak 41’ 1936 Berthon Gauntlet ocean racing cutter Syrinx. www.youtube.com/@JourneyofSyrinx-pg5jz
I just subscribed to your channel and look forward to watching your videos. Glad you found ours!
