Come on sir time for an update.....

Thanks mate, great to see the theory of how to level a boat externally. Ive always plumbed off the cabin sole internally assuming it was set level long ways and side to side. Also in the comments the use of water as a level, great idea. Used to level foundations on buildings with a water level back in the day.

Great!!!

If you need a dig out or engine stuff looked at give me a shout. I stay in Anster cheers

How is Idler coming along? Good to see you back 👍🏻

I think the sculling. oar would be more efficient if the blade had a 15 or 20 degree hinge between blade and shaft like a fishes tail in not fixed on one plane it bends at the start of the stroke then flicks through 40 degrees to start the next stroke.

this is so cool man

HATS OFF TO YOU GREAT STUFF GO WELL!!!!!

Good to see you 😊

Looks like you had a good time! Hoping you can update us on Idler in your next video.. thanks! 😊👍

After departing Anstruther we motored through a heavily congested creel area off the Fife coast. Nick and I (Jim) were on the bow with high powered flash lights looking for creel markers in an effort to avoid picking up the marker buoy around our propeller. The rain was so heavy at times that we could not see more than 2 metres in front of the boat. The lightning was really intense, luckily not overhead as we had a big lightning conductor sticking up into the sky. At one stage, we saw what we initially thought was a big jellyfish. It was, in fact, a marker buoy just under the surface of the water, we were lucky!

A great wee adventure!

Thanks for the video. Although I know very little about fishing, I am fascinated by the history especially the boats. Can you confirm what type of fishing boats White Wing & Reaper are & whether there are any Zulus still in existence. BTW should I ask how the Idler project is progressing!!?? Chin-chin

I looked to see if I had missed any vids the other day and here you are. I see you are close to an update on Idler from a comment below. Looking forward to it. ATB.

Missed IDLERS updates-good to see you gain!

Very cool. That old fishing boat exemplifies the type of vessel that inspired the tahiti ketch design. Must've been cool to sail on a boat like that who's still in her original fishing configuration.

Nice video, Will there be anymore on the idler??

Thanks for taking us along.

good to see you back

Thanks mate, been missing you

Great video mate congratulations from Aotearoa New Zealand 👏

New subscriber - great descriptions. I’ve reviewed several of your videos and have to admire the perseverance. I sail a modern 35’ Catalina and also have recently recovered two (2) Wenaumet Kitten 13.5’ wooden catboats (1939, 1950) designed and built by my great-grandfather. Although both are packed tightly in my dry garage, I’ll need to construct a proper workspace in order to move forward. - SV Free Spirit - Tarpon Springs Florida

If it wasn't for the pictures of how big your beautiful children are I wouldn't believe it's been so long! Happy that you're back and that the family looks happy as well. Welcome back.

Рад видеть ваше возвращение. Спасибо, что не бросили кораблик! Дополню, что благодаря в том числе и вашему каналу я набрался смелости и купил старую парусную лодку

Hi just recognised Elie harbour. Im local to the East Neuk and would love to lend a hand if that’s something you would be interested in lmk?

Great to see you back... I have many of what I call "domino projects", projects which don't seem to be important and aren't much fun, but which enable other domino stones to fall giving suddenly the space and time to do the important and enjoyable jobs... Your "boat house" seems to be one of these... Again, great to see you again...

Hey, it made my day to see you back - know it can't be easy with young family and all and Idler herself looks to have advanced well and with beautiful symmetry, well done :-)))

Glad to see you back.

Aye, what a welcome notice. I didn’t realize how much I’d missed these posts. One of the best of the channels I follow. Carry on.

EXCELLENT to see you having the time and inclination to getting back to your Idler!!! I agree that building a "proper" boatshed will be well worth the effort. Good working conditions will engender and influence your enthusiasm for the project. Mucking about in the elements and mud are not conducive to furthering your project. I have missed your posts, which are always a tremendous learning experience for me! WELCOME BACK!!!! 👍😁👍

Glad your back! Great seeing you having fun with your children they must be a real joy. Don’t be discouraged with the boat reviving project look how far you have come not how far you must go. I have a small 16 ft Wayfarer that I did a refit and it took me much longer and cost way more than I expected. The results were great and justified the work. Your effort will be the same.

I don't know which is harder building from scratch or rebuilding?

Glad to see you back.

great to see you back, was only pondering the other day what might have happened. Looks like congratulations in order!

Hard to hear you over the music

Nice to see you back at the idler. I know it's going to be a longterm project but that's fine by me.

Maybe your movement in the boat when trying to fit the floors racks the hull and changes things.

Welcome back. My wooden boat rebuilding or just building getting a bit far and few between.

Glad you are back but when you are talking could you stop the music please?

Good to see you caring on. Sustaining the momentum is the hardest part . Jobs , family ,chores ,all make fixing the boat go to the bottom of the list, but at least yy dare putting new wood in,which is huge. Keep up the adventure!

Glad to see you back! 😊👍

Ah man, great to see yourself and idler again! And lovely to see that - well, it seems a bit kind of intrusive or familia to say, but lovely to see yourself and your family looking well and happy. Good on ya, and again, good to see you. :)

Thankyou for Repairing a fine litter ship I'm glad there are people like you who Sadly see a lot of these fine ships who no fault of their own have been left to rot .your space by the Shed and those trees remind me of Leo,s Tally Ho when he was at the farm when Tally Ho was in a very sorry state to what she is now and your doing just the same kind of work all the best from New Zealand

Welcome back, happy to see you again

So good to hear you’ve got back to Idler.... as father and grandfather I understand the pressures ...... but you’ll get there..... is there a case for asking for volunteers to help with heavy work/landscaping? After all it’s a beautiful part of the world! Best wishes from ☘️👍👨🏻👌

good to see you back!

Nice to see you back at it. Looking forward to more videos in the future. Best Wishes for your success.
