Living in US Virgin Islands on my boat, I have to show this to my mentor and friend your age that has been building boats since age 8. He is an old crusty but like when you said near the end "my emergency tiller" He too has taught me that we all need backup of our backups. Love you Lots. Thanks for the education.
This guy is my kind of people. Creative, talented, unpretentious and not afraid to live his life the way he damn well pleases.
I was plastered in 74 and I'm still working fine too.
fantastic comment
Dude, I am so proud of you. You did it! All of us hippie dreamers had our visions. I owned seven boats in my younger days. Around the boatyards was my venue. I was the guy without the motor trying to tack out of the sound. Key West, Cocoanut Grove, Sarasota. But somewhere along the line I got a clear message to turn my back on that hippie vision. And I met this gal, (a sailor, or course) and we had seven children, and now there are twelve grandchildren, and I am landlocked in West Virginia. (No regrets) Around here there are the river rats. But they have no idea about heading for the horizon. You go, dude, I with you in spirit.
West Virginia born and raised attending wvu now but saving to buy a blue water boat
You to twins?
I'd bet this guy's got a lifetime of stories, adventures and experience. I'd love to see him in more videos.
This is so rad. One of my favourites so far!
Needs to cut the crap out of his hair
Agreed!!!!
@@ianpledge3891 Maybe you need to grow some
My husband and I chartered the Pterodactyl yesterday and had the best time with Cosima and Theo! The weather was perfect and visibility was incredible. Cosima told us about her father and we hope to meet him someday, because he sounds amazing, and we can't wait to get back aboard the boat he built.♥⛵ (Schooner emoji, please! 😜)
Eddie Landis is an inspiring maker and sailor. I wish him fair winds and good luck!
How strange this trip has been, I helped build a ferrocement boat in Moclips beach right on the river in 75. Lots of crazies sauna and outdoor tub that you had to break the ice after the sauna. My girlfriend's name was Magic Mushroom. Wow what great memories.
This is one of the few sailing videos I've ever shared. I loved it. He is a true jack of all trades genius and problem solver. Beautiful ship under sail. I hope to meet him on the water some day.
Very nice video!
And we are so proud to make sails for The Pterodactyl :)
When I was a kid, back in 1968 or so, I helped build a few ferrocement boats in a yard in Oakland, CA. I call it a yard but it was really little more than a dirt lot on the Alameda estuary . . . just a bunch of hippies living the dream . . . and one engineer. The quality of the build varied tremendously depending on the builder, the engineer had the best one. Everyone, without exception was building with the intention of sailing around the world. Very few did, heck very few even finished their boats. I'm really glad to see that someone not only finished their boat but still sails it! Good job and happy sailing.
“Just start”
What wonderful advice for life
Wonderful advice and harder to live by than it would seem.
Eddie so good to see you again after 30 years. The boat is still looking good and so are you. Say hi to your family! Cheers Brian Pouillon.
I know nothing about boats, but I couldn't stop watching this video!!! What an interesting, passionate, brilliant, inspiring man! Thanks so much for bringing us his story. You're an awesome videographer, Dylan! Kudos on a job well done!💥🌟💥
I see this as an actual documentary very well done on what I imagine is a very low budget, quite an accomplishment! I like how Eddie took something from nothing and made it happen by his own ingeniousness. What's also amazing to me, never been on a sailing boat, are people who know sea navigation as I heard you have to know ocean currents and how they effect navigation too. I love sailing ships like this and how beautiful it looks gliding across the sea! What great adventures ahead and also a way he can do random acts of kindness and open the amazing world of sailing and the sea to others and enjoy a whole adventurous years ahead! Thanks for sharing this! Also, I feel Eddie could talk about motivation, inner peace, creativity, and also as an inventor what innovation means to him and how all of that is working in his life. Sounds like a fascinating person with a lot to share with the world! Thanks for creating this fine documentary!
You're quickly turning into one of, if not my favourite youtube channel! In every video, you show a different story, and it's just so alluring to me that I just can't stop watching! Also, the editing is on point, especially for the type of videos you put out. Great work! ;)
Brasileiro?
hahah Capt eddy is such a character! great video Dylan, inspiring for my film making
What a dream. My life's dream, actually. To live on a ship like that. How wonderful. It's so great to see that there are people out there doing it. Great inspiration. And what a beautiful ship.
One of your best videos Dylan
That guy is awesome!!!! I am so happy that there is still men like this out there. He is clearly living his dream. The world is still all right when people like this exist.
I sailed for 12 years, did 3 times The Tall Ships Races, unforgetable experience, swimming in the Fjords of Norway, crossing the Baltic Sea, seeing the dolphins swim along, seeing places you would not normaly see, it gets under your skin
Another compelling documentary Dylan. You have a true gift for storytelling. And what a character the Captain is! Well done!
What an amazing human being with an extraordinarily beautiful ship.
You guys don't know how HAPPY I am!!!!!! I was waiting for today's video to come out so I could (obviously watch it and) comment that he should do one on a boat, specifically a tall ship like this! Thank you Dylan, thank you thank you thank you
MIND READER =)
Good video. I wouldn't want to get too far from shore in that old boy's boat. Swimming distance will do.
One of my favourite DVD's is Captain Ron with Kurt Russel as the "captain".
I love that shabby old sailing boat that went on to become the pride of the family etc.
With this video, the make do and mend attitude without the high gloss varnish that some people think is a boat makes it real.
My favourite boat type is the Brixham fishing trawler with it's gaff rigged main sail.
My father loved the Thames barges and built a model of one......the sprit sail rig is so powerful in it's simplicity to be worked by one man and his wife.
What an amazing story. Love it!!! Thank you Captain Eddie Landis! Thank you Dylan!!
Hard to imagine a much cooler boat than this one. I love it
Thank you for adding the captioning to your video. Makes all your details and dialogue accessible. I appreciate it!
He is so inspiring! so are you. I cant believe he built that! It's so amazing. I absolutely LOVE the picture from the 70s. Every guy I ever dated in high school had a dad or older brother who dressed like that :D I am a water person, born and bred in San Diego on the beach. If I could live on the water, I would. I envy and admire him. Thank you again for a beautiful video! My heart soared with the drone on this one
you could try hiring up on a cargo sailing vessel like Tress Hombress, Nordlys, Grayhound, Avontuur, Kwai, Ceiba,Brigantes, Cecilie, The Spirite of Rotterdam and many more.
Ceiba is currently beeing build in Costa Rica and is intended to sail the Pacific Line from Costra Rica up to Canada and Back down past Hawaii.
or you could become a Shareholder of a CSV, Ceiba sells their shares for 100 USD to enable a larger audience to purchase them. The other Shares are usally at around 1000€ ( Avonture, Nordly) 1250€ Tress Hombress and 3000€ for the Massiv Clipper 'The Spirite of Rotterdam'
IF you cold live on the water...never been a better time to 'escape' the land in every sense of the word.
There's room aboard my boat but I'm on the east coast headed towards Europe.
This guy will never die from high blood pressure.
People with high stress life styles that have a breakdown should go spend a week hanging out and sailing with him.
Great video, thanks for posting. Where does he live?
Port Townsend is in Puget Sound, Washington state
It's pretty mental to think where this channel has gone since the S.America/NYC vlogs and that you're doing all this as a one man show. Congrats mate
It would be pretty satisfying to have the connection this guy has with his boat. When it was my "time" I'd sail out to my favorite spot and sink myself. No paperwork. No trace.
Who now wants to roam the planet by Schooner? I know I do.
I don't know if I would, but I'd watch you do it
ill go with u
Dylan Magaster Buying a plywood catamaran....see you in the ocean!
Schooners are nice looking, but I'd take a more updated & modern sailing ship to venture the sea's :) unless i had my pirate crew with me.... then schooner it is.
Just bought a sloop with my girlfriend, going to be sailing her back to MA next weekend and then sailing her down the east coast of the U.S. and to the Caribbean this year! We'll be living on her full time as well, our first real home together :) we're excited!
A testament to time...there is a Co here in NZ still build them in Thames...there are several around our country under construction
I remember people building fero-cement boats in the 60's and 70's. There were 2 of them that were built in my town back then. I have no idea if they worked well, all I know is they were being worked on for a couple years and then they were gone. Different owners, different parts of town, but I bet they new each other because those things are so big everyone driving by can see that you're building a fero-cement boat.
Capt. Eddie - Your a great artist and as inspiration to anyone who ever dreamed of sailing the seven seas ! excellent video
Fantastic!
Thank you for sharing.
He is a great example of naval free spirit. Love the DYI sailmanship.
lol "do yourself it"...its DIY FYI
Dylan, your stories and video directing, editing skills are superb. This looks every bit the quality of a story on National Geographic. If I were you I would try to get National Geographic to air this story on their Tv show. You could make a lot of money doing this man. Who knows, they may even hire you for occasional work making and producing stories. It's definitely worth a try.
May you have many blessings and with much inner peace. ✌
My favourite so far, super inspiring!
Great advice. Thank Captain Eddie.
Some really great content coming out from this channel recently.
Got to admire your ingenuity and staying power! What a character.
John Sampson designed/built Ferro boats back the 1970s in Richmond BC, chartered his 48' Stormstrutter on legs around the South Pacific. An amazing person. If anyone reminded me of Popeye, he did! A BC legend.
Gr eww at story. Love that you gave the man credit and kept his legacy as just that his. Way too go Captain I would sail with you any day.
The idea of single-handing a schooner is has much appeal to me. Oddly enough, you remind me of someone who was in a blacksmithing class with me. Fair winds!!!
this is awesome, what an amazing dude
17 years after learning about quiet a large Concrete Boat left to crumble somewhere in China
I see this!
Amazing!
Still can not get my head around the Hull material
Concrete!
I met a couple of hippee brothers in Anchorage Ak mid 70's that were already accomplished sailors at the ripe old age of 28.They were building a concrete hull in their back yard and at that time melting car barriers for lead ballast.I remember all the rebar and chicken wire.I was only 18 or 19 at the time.They said there was good sailing from Anchorage to Fiji on account of the tradewinds and currents.
Your editing skills are top notch. Awesome videos dude.
I never felt as free as I did when I lived on my boat for 11 yrs. Going to do it again in a few years and also build a custom camper truck to see the States when I feel like a break from the water.
He's living his best life :) LOVE IT!
Go Eddie!
Beautifull schooner. Once I got used to the colours of the interieur I could see how it makes the wood and the room shine and makes it cosy and fresh at the same time. All very functional and livable space and a sturdy sailboat. Great that you built it so may years ago and it's still floating.. Greets from the Netherlands
ps I'm glad that a got so bored that I started watching utube vids
What a beautiful boat .
I love this boat ! Awesome job and it seems to be a reflection of you, well done! I like your advice too,
I LOVE IT!! My kind of sailor!! I admire your ingenuity and ATTITUDE!!
6:40. Quite moving to see someone who is so obviously old wise and inspirational talk like a giddy school boy.
I just love this guy! Amazing! Can't even put into words what I am feeling after watching this!
Good video Dylan. Well done! I dig.
Greatly appreciated. Thank you for sharing.
awesome from start to finish!!!thank you!
I need to find my star to follow. I cant wait to find it.
Absolute dude..."Roger, over and out an all that" 😂😂😂👍👍
Oh wow, you're so cool and talented person, Eddie, I wanna be living like this, wish you all the best
Fantastic artwork, congrats on your boat and your dream👍🏻
Oh I just met this guy the other day, down on the dock we were talking about small boats. Small world.
He's almost living like the Pirates of Old.
I call it my "one pot wonder." You wonder what's in it and why it tastes so good. :) Love your boat.
Thanks for letting us into your life Love your boat
and thanks for posting
Thanks for your vid, Dylan and my very best regards to Eddie Landis! At the beginning of 90-s I built a gaff schooner very much alike to his.
That's awesome!
Excellent film and three cheers for Captain Eddy.
It don"t get any better than that, So cool!!!!
My Wife and I were involved in the plastering of ferro cement hulls in Fambridge in the mid 70s. the team was lead by a guy named Austin Edge anyone hear of him, he worked for Blue Circle Cement as a sales exec. Ian Ewers on Facebook.
It's ferrocement actually, not concrete. The principle is the same as fibreglass except with steel replacing the glass fibres and mortar replacing the resin. It's been around over 100 years and is still used as a commercial building technique.
I believe that the term "concrete" was part of the 70's hype for promoting ferrocement which began in the 60's. The ASCE National Concrete Canoe Competition started the collegiate competition in 1971. By the 80's the competition and " concrete" usage had spread to Europe ...
The rules allow that up to 50% of hull thickness may be mesh and define "concrete" as up to 30% by mass portland cement and at least 25% must be aggregate (advanced/non-standard aggregates are permitted but epoxy is forbidden).
Earlier usage of "concrete" for ferrocement was during WW I and WW II when "concrete ships" were proposed using ferrocement as a method to address shortages in the steel supply for shipbuilding. The reason why ferrocement was not adopted outside of hobbyists is because it is labor intensive and not as affordable as other methods. Since ferrocement ships are so durable, quite a few were used to provide breakwaters for improvised/ improved harbors.
Excellent, Eddie!
His advice is SO TRUE!! Just Start!! Words of WISDOM!
Very pretty boat. Nice paint job. I'm a fan of Bentford.
What an amazing story! Thanks for sharing.
Congratulation and with today reinforced concrete you proved again what has been a way of construction for boat-flat top in a chain for bridges over rivers used 150 year ago. It should be studied and see if competitive with fiberglass+epoxy. Have fun, Paul
Beautiful boat built with intrigue ingenuity insight and deep appreciation of what makes the lines of a yacht so pleasing on the eye
A hip Joshua Slocum
Love the stern windows. An item no one builds anymore.
GREAT BOAT....LOVE YOUR VIDEO....KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK
Fantastic video. Thanks. Beautiful boat.
I like Captain Eddie :)
Great video,many thanks excellent captain well done video
shes "Pterodactyl" amazing , and you are just amazing ! thank you for showing some of your stuff about yourself and your boat ...thanks dylan m ...And thank you mr Drake ...
what does that even mean?
Excellent video
I work at Lowe's and i got some cool builders come in. But if you were to tell its for a hand built boat!!! You'd take the cake good sir!!! Beautiful build and amazing life story.. makes me feel like I missed many of calling to being on the water.. anyway safe sailing and hope you keep enjoying your creations!!
Thank you Capt Eddie. I'm in the middle of an extensive refit on a 54' ketch. All the things I'm being told I "have to" replace is making my head spin. But today, I'm gonna be Drake-ish, I'm gonna just start... Thank you.
And thank you Dylan for making the time to share his story.
Great boat, great captain but it really needs a little touchup before going through more than a sunday breeze. Good ideas, specially if your building for your own. Definetly need a working horn at any time though. Also need some fire extiniguishers, cant forget those.
Could anyone tell me the class? He said he bought the plans in the 70s. I would love to look at them. I love gaff rigs, schooners, and the transom cabin with windows is just amazing. It's very spacious. This boat is my childhood dream.
Good Boat Captain. Very lovely good job.
wow. great video. randomly showed in my feed. I couldnt get enough.
Hey Eddie... Dave and Anke here, fellow TDCrs from Happy Harbor (as Don Berry called it). Yo lookin' GOOD, man! Love to you and Jeannie (where e're she be).
Love your Boat Captain Eddie, a fitting Boat for an artist, it has style and like a Original piece of Art.
Sign me up! I want to sail on the magic ship! RVs are fun too. I always say that an RV is just an upside down boat with wheels.
Love this boat and love this guy, so unconventional brave and pragmatic. Very beautiful in it, own unique way. :) Beautiful video as well.
