Sea Stories - Patsy Bolling - An Extraordinary Life on Boats
In August 2021 Patsy Bolling, serial yacht owner and veritable yachting legend, was invited aboard the 12-metre racing yacht American Eagle. For Patsy, this was the long awaited return to a yacht that she knows like the back of her hand. During her previous two year tenure American Eagle won the 1970 Fastnet in Cowes and raced against Australian challenger Gretel in the America’s Cup test of the same year. She was the first woman to race in an America’s Cup competition, 22 years before they were permitted.
As the daughter of the "Incredible Captain Kenedy" Patsy was raised on the famed 300 ton schooner The City of New York and over the years she estimates that she and her husband Bill owned around 13 yachts, of all shapes and sizes, spending their lives restoring and sailing on yachts which were much in need of their love and expertise.
Join us as Patsy takes us through some of the most iconic boats of our time and her involvement with them. From racing motorcycles, cars and yachts, it's a remarkable conversation with a remarkable woman.

    I stripped and painted a 43ft Colvin Gazelle inside and out. Then reconfiguration of the head, main cabin, adding new water tanks, all new electrical with instruments, all new rigging (galvanized 1x7 wire, parcelled and served). Two and a half full time summers in the Chicago area, plus time in spring and fall both years. By full time I mean 8+ hours a day 7 days a week. It was a tremendous effort - and not all of it was perfect. And I did not touch the engine. You had your work cut out for you! Excellent work! I want to know how the composting head works out. We put one on our Peterson 34 racing boat that we used on a couple Chicago to Mackinaw Island races. Did not work well in rough weather, as urine can easily get into the compost area, and then all stinking hell breaks lose. The only redeeming feature is the head can easily be removed and placed on the dock outside the boat when you get to a marina, which does not endear you to your dock neighbors.

    It's a shame that so many classic wooden boats are just left to rot like that... I'm doing my part with my derelict Tahiti ketch. I just wish there were more like me willing to take these vessels on as total DIY projects without much care about how long it might take or how much it might cost.

    Хорошие ракурсы съёмки и продолжительные по времени сюжеты,- есть время зацепиться вниманию на важных мелочах. Особая благодарочка автору за сьёмку перехода от, относительно, спокойной погоды в предштормовую. Волшебно смотрелся бы солнечный свет проходящий сквозь бирюзу воды, при крене парусника, в иллюминатор и отражение его бликов на мебели каюты. И всё это под Pink Floyd,- фантастическая романтика свободы !!! В You Tube есть видео, где "MALABAR X" заходит в марину под легендарный Pink Floyd. С меня лайк, подписка. Развивай тему.

In return he kindly invited me to a trip on board of one of his beautiful historic schooners but unfortunately till today I didn't make it! If someone who knows him reads my comment please say hi to him on behalf of Gustavo.
