Artie the Swolest Man in the World, thanks. Being cheap helps too. One hour’s wage for a mechanic cost the price of making the yuloh, so I yanked the engine and haven’t regretted the decision.
I made serveral attempt to experiment the Yoloh technique, that I LOVE, but I see it practical only on small dinghy, The speed I get is always much less than the double oars. On my sailboat (Elan E3, 4.5tons) the speed I get is too slow to be practical or safe in case of wind at sea, so I consider the fascinating technique good for rivers, lakes, and fishing (in france is very traditional, so fishman has always a hand free), but a bit impractical for a modern yatch. However, thank you for the video and the answer.
True, It has its place. The conditions have to be just right. It’s not fast, but, for me, it was very practical because motor mechanics are very expensive in Norway. Plus, it was a fun experiment.
Does the yuloh feels heavy? It looks way bigger than any oars. and I wonder if it is more or less efficient to paddle at the end than on the sides of a boat.
Ragamala Rokudan, in theory, a yuloh is good for long distances, but having two oars is better for maneuvering in tight quarters. I can turn in my boat's normal turn radius, but stopping and rowing backwards like with oars isn't possible.
Are you new to the technique? it seems like you don't manage to get any way up? My engine has just seized and I am considering making a yuloh. What's your overall opinion of the practicalities? My boat is 9.4 m and 6 ton Thanks
I made my yuloh 3 years ago. I was only moving down the dock and was in no rush. My boat is 29ft. 8 ton. I recommend you make one. It was and still is an interesting project. There are a lot of advantages with it.
thanks, good show ( @@@richardcranium8408 and others), see also U tube films on Hong Kong 1960 +/-, many good examples and a complete history of junks as well as their construction in : THE JUNKS AND SAMPANS OF THE YANGTZE by G.R.G. Worcester ; River Inspector (retired), Chinese Maritime Customs....the most complete source I' ve ever seen, no longer in print...so you ' ll have to try second hand sources...thanks again and have fun !...whatever YOU do !
beautiful. I saw you pass a "sailboat" with two outboards.
Thanks. I had to move down the dock and thought I'd post it in operation.
I don't understand why we don't see more of these.
Tim Hayward Good question. Neither do I. I'm the only one in Norway with one as far as I know. I've researched it a lot too.
Looks like a very good way to propel a "Dianne's Rose"
Can operate by more persons standing on other or same side.
Yes, back in the day in China there were 5-9 guys swinging on yulohs made for big cargo boats.
You are a true sailor sir

@@richardcranium8408 how far can you row that thing like if you get becalmed
Sorry for the late reply. 4 1/2 hours is about right
Nice.
Thanks Kevin, I’ve picked up a few tips from your videos.
I used my ruther like this, on my kylix 27 that's 6.7 tons, and i think it creates at least same speed
Hey brother do you think the rudder is strong enough?

Ragamala Rokudan, it's heavy to carry, but it's on its balancing point in use. It's not so bad.

Andrew M. you could make stop and turns with yuloh easily ,"slow slow yuloh , fast fast paddle."
I like your boat and this video a lot ! Beautiful work done .
Which boat is that one?
Luigi Gallerani, it’s a 1986 Norwegian built Randøy 29.
Are you new to the technique? it seems like you don't manage to get any way up?
My engine has just seized and I am considering making a yuloh.
What's your overall opinion of the practicalities?
My boat is 9.4 m and 6 ton

Andrew M. Thanks mate I may well give it a go :)
Junk Rig association website has a well written article by Slieve about it. Give it a read.

PS page 46 to 49....yuloh...
i'm using the ruther for the same thing, and i think it got as good speed
Reverse?
Unfortunately not, so you have to plan ahead.
