Ditching the Speedboat - 1700 miles - Part 19
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 лют 2024
- Something rather unexpected on our trip around the UK in a tiny speedboat, a jaunt on the high seas in an old fishing boat.
After putting a giant hole in the hull it's time to head back to the Cockwells for some much needed fibreglassing. With our tail between our legs we peel back the layers to assess the damage. We also go to see rubber expert Andrew for a lesson in rubber history and to fix a leak in the inflatable tubes.
Finally after four days at sea delivering Dave's fishing boat to Scotland we head to see Ryan at Ribworkz for the icing on the cake and some much needed tube glueing. Big thanks to Ryan, if you need any tube work, go and give www.ribworkz.co.uk a call!
Big thanks to www.cockwells.co.uk and to Andrew at Carnon Valley boatyard.

I am the nephew of one of the late owners of Marie. Marie forms a huge part of my core memories as a child with my father and uncle and cousins mucking around on the water with her on the West Coast of Scotland. To say she has influenced my life is an understatement. I lost touch with her after the fire. At the time I was leaving to go to university to study Naval Architecture and starting to carve my own life, and I thought she had been truly scrapped.
To see her now restored as she is and to know that a family has spent their lives with Marie doing just what we did with her is truly heart warming. My late uncle would have been beyond overjoyed to see this. His love was also one of mucking about with boats and making them his own.
Myself and my young family are now living onboard our own yacht as we sail round the world - Marie as you can imagine has had no small part in influencing this.
I look forward to seeing the results of the replank!
Best Regards

What size is Marie, she looks about 50ft by the way she sails through the water. and not pulling her back end under.
Incredible, so what was the layout back then, is the photo in the video of Marie on the pontoon how you remember her?
Hello there. This was my Dads boat before the fire my cousin has already commented. It is so special to see the restoration of such a special boat.
My dad would have been delighted to see her being cared for, we had a few boats growing up but Marie was his favourite!
Lots of fun memories.
The old photo you have was in Ardfetn I think where she was berthed. Thank you for sharing this , sadly my dad couldn’t see this but it has made my mum happy this evening.
She fell into the right hands my friend...what a stunning boat marie is.
@@thefirsthuman6774 I’ve got photos from when we salvaged her out of Crinan..
Saving this to watch later on the TV, where this series belongs.
Ew tv lol I only watch UA-cam, where good content like this can be found. Why waste time with TV...
@@p3rpNZ They don't do a 46-inch phone. 😀
@@johnmaslenhaha not even a scotsmans pockets are that deep. But I meant broadcast tv, not the screen size of your device.
I only have a TV for Harry's videos.
lol. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Who else got super excited when this little beauty of an update dropped into their home page? 😂
Cockwells looks like a great employer and a happy place to work judging by the smiles in the factory. The boss seems like a down to earth guy too. The Hardy 50 looks beautiful
Hats off to Cockwells for being brave and opening up the workings of their business to a UA-camr. They come off as approachable and human, credit to them and Harry.
100% this
Well put
Ribworkz guy did a SUPER repair. Local to me too & I’ll definitely use him . If he does a tube change Goodwin will actually be “Triggers Broom” 😂
Boats are made to be used, the wear and tear is a result of that. The repairs are a badge of honour. Love Goodwin.
Boats are made to be used true enough, however, not like that !
They built him a wonderful little boat , that he destroyed, for UA-cam viewers like you and I!
Sad end for a wonderful little boat… rest in peace Goodwin
@redeyedmongoose2963 ha ha haaaaaa haaa haaa etc. It's old, it's doing an amazing trip, and a bit of wear and tear is to be expected. If I had the time, I'd do exactly the same and so would literally every other viewer here. It's not that I disagree with your opinion, you're just wrong!
@@redeyedmongoose2963 Most RIBs of this vintage would be landfill by now, he is using it to the full extent of its ability and making the effort to keep it seaworthy. I expect Goodwin to have a long life yet.
I will never understand how this channel doesn't have multiple millions of subs and views - just about the best production of any kind that hasn't been done by an actual film studio/tv channel/streaming service with a huge budget. This absolutely needs and fully deserves to be show on mainstream TV and it deserves to earn enough money for Goodwin to have those new tubes, and more. More than that, it deserves to win awards. In a world that often seems to be a sinister and foreboding place, this series is a fantastic spark of real escapism.
Agreed! Lovely narration and superb filiming
Great music as well!
Because he doesn’t post nearly enough. I agree the content is quality as it gets but when it only comes every so often you don’t get pushed by the algorithm and the ones that do see it will forget about the channel after a bit.
Tourism UK should be sponsoring this series. The cinema photography is just spectacular. A real Boys Own adventure. Loving it from Australia 👍🇦🇺
Maybe the next series can be around Australia? :D
This is the one channel that I watch on the TV to enjoy it to the max. This should have its own series on the TV.
I agree that this needs a wider audience but TV would ruin it by putting their demands on Harry’s fantastic production, sense of humour and numerous jumping off the boat scenes around the UK …. They’d want to put scantily clad female swimwear models in every scene……. Come to think of it maybe he should go on TV!
@@pianoman1258 Look at what BBC 4 have done with Canal Boat Diaries, Then again you're right, the editorial constraints would ruin it and all the best bits would be on the cutting room floor. Still can't fathom how Harry hasn't got many more subscribers 🤔
Hope you watch cruising the Cut then....@@griffog2001
Thank you to Cockwells and Ryan. This is definitely a good cause to put your business fingerprints all over. Cheers from across the pond, Harry xx
So generous for such a world renowned & seasoned sailor like Harry to volunteer to help a poor sailor in need like Dave.
Do I sense some irony here?
Incredible episode, well done everyone. Cockwell's , rockstars as usual, not their fault at all the fatigue damage on the bow, beautifully sorted by Andy. Great fun trip on Marie, super history also. Ryan at Ribworkz is a total legend, A1 sympathetic and effective refurb, smart call on the dryzip on the bow, anything else would be crazy with the electronics beneath the dodger. A total credit Harry for a great movie, and to everyone involved, many thanks, superb 👍👏👏👏
Simply the best show on UA-cam. Dave Cockwell Is just a wonderful human being. The world needs more bosses like him.
Each modification has made Goodwin stronger, safer, mire modern and extends her useful life. The information on the different rib materials, valves, pumps, glues, construction techniques are invaluable. Transported to a modern day shipyard to repair and reinforce Goodwin's bow area. Then back in time to an older wood shipyard with sawmill, steam boxes, wood planks for Marie's above water repairs. A swim, jellyfish, good food and company on a boat delivery.
Finally getting Goodwin assembled, painted and tubes glued and reinforced. Incorporating an accessible zippered warerproof bow covering. Protecting the bow and hull sides. Goodwin is ready to soar again.
Harry you have a knack for storytelling, panoramic drone footage, introducing us to some unique and specialty builders or fabricators.
Ahh thanks.
Ah yes a bay class RFA. I work on them.
In a away I'm hoping you never reach the end of this journey, so we can keep getting these videos forever!
Season 2: Lap of the Baltic Sea? Mediterranean maybe? Bit difficult for the support Avantime to follow, though.
First, got to say that Cockwells are a bloody good business, without whom this series of videos would have probably stopped already. Andrew (tube chap) and the other chap at Ribworkz too.
But bloody hell, it's hard to imagine how many "minutes" were left in Goodwin before it all fell apart.
Marie - Dave's boat - is a beauty, and the photography as usual is amazing. Love this series.
Harry I cant thank you enough for such superb UA-cam filming, footage and content. I do believe you should be on BBC2 or something. The music your friend makes and the genuinely lovely people you work with or know, combine for some of the best viewing I've seen on UA-cam and believe you, me, I watch a lot. Just brilliant 😊😊😊
Harry, there is something about your videos that feels so lovely and human. Watching them is a particularly warming experience. Well done
They just make you feel happy and make you smile... I totally agree,
All of the craftsmen you dealt with were not just skilled at their jobs, they were all great men.
The people you meet on this trip have been my favorite part, they are so lovely.
Brilliant!
And good luck to Ryan, I hope his business is a success,
Goodwin fights another day,
Apart from your amazing adventures, you are a gifted story teller and filmmaker! Your episodes are so enjoyable to watch, taking us right along on the adventure. Very well done!
Another great upload harry 👏 that trip up to scotland on marie looked amazing, also big shout out to Ryan from ribworks and everyone else who keeps helping to keep this dream alive because as viewers it is very much appreciated 😁
What a fantastic videographer you are Harry.
Too kind!
Harry, another great video! Cockwells and team look amazing (again), and now I'm rooting for Ribworkz to be a successful concern.
Big thanks to everyone and it's not the last we've seen of Ribworkz!
Brilliant episode. Dave Cockwell is a top bloke, he came to look at my 1937 Ringnetter, the Water-Lily, many years ago with a view to doing her up for a customer but sadly she was not in great shape. Marie is a beautiful little ship and I totally agree they are the prettiest of fishing boats and look great as cruisers. Great work all round. Andy UK
Ring Netters roll like blazes unless there is 20 tons or more of Herring or Sprats in their fishroom . They were built specifically to carry weight hence reason engine room aft accommodation forward . I'm sure they do look pretty to anyone who hasn't had to suffer one between September and May . They are good looking boats.
This has to be the most discussed crack, in the history of all cracks. 😮
It’s good to see Goodwin back in the hands of experts ensuring that its crack won’t let it down.
Crack on!
Honestly, I seriously enjoy your videos and really appreciate that you include your conversations with craftsman instead of ads for vpn’s or slow motion of someone pouring coffee through a child’s art project filter.
Love the humour, not taking yourself too seriously.
Love the views and love the drone footage and love the view of Scotland.
Beautiful beyond belief!
Very possibly your best video yet. Thanks for producing. The crafmanship at the two yards is beyond beleif.
Only six minutes in but it's the best of channels on UA-cam. And, as a bonus, Harry and Goodwin are back in my homeland. It doesn't get much better.
One of my favourite episodes. Love seeing the “big boat” yard and little new guy all look after you & Goodwin so well.
Best of luck to ribworkz, that is some awesome RIB work. Our family has had RIB for 20+ years, wish our local did work like that
Brilliant content from adversity. What a ridiculously lovely bunch of guys at the boatyard. You had me worried with the title I thought Goodwin had had it😊
We can all do with a retubing at some point. Nice to see you’re back in the saddle. A real labor of love. ❤
Glad to see you repairing G! That fishing vessel is amazing. All the best from OYZ🧡
You deserve many more subs then you have!! Well done! Much love from the coast of Maine 🤙
The best UA-cam Channel. By far.
Another beautifully shot, paced and told episode. I was watching a Hollywood blockbuster when this popped up. The film was paused to watch you - and this was way better.
You should be proud of this film. Miles better than anything on TV.. superb..
I really enjoyed that. Marie looks great, Mr Cockwell has done a great job.
What an absolute hero the tube guy!
Ryan seems like a good man, wishing him success!
Thank you Harry for your story telling. Always a pleasure to watch your adventures!
My Father sailed from loch ewe during the war on a convoy to America 😎👌🏽
Breathtaking video. It even had a storyline. This series, and particularly this episode is well worthy of tv broadcasting.
Harry, love it, love it, love it. Sailing guy here, but this is by far my favorite yt channel, great storytelling, I am following since ep 1. Keep it coming! Greets from Portugal, Frank
Thanks Frank, hopefully we'll make it to Portugal in a few years.
@@harrydwyer With Goodwin? Now, we're talking :-)
From the UK to Gibraltar in a tiny speedboat!
@@koene2276 yes, that sounds like it. men always need a project, right?
I have enjoyed this series immensely, it took me back to my younger self when I was sailing the oceans. I thought you were quite mad taking that small rib on such an adventure but you took your time and it sort of worked. I look forward to seeing more of this adventure, good luck Harry!
I’m not sure how you do it exactly, but you get the people around you completely disarmed to the point that they talk to camera as if it’s just a passing face in the room, rather than a thousand faces watching the boat yard or the trip or the repair or whatever else is going on. Great sense of the people you meet along the way, including yourself, and it makes the trip. Nicely done.
It's going to be sad when the quest is over. What a journey you've taken us all on.
53 minutes and 25 seconds with a smile on my face...perfect
Thank you as always Harry for cheering me up on a miserable day. It's a reminder that the boating days are nearly upon us once again!
Thanks for sharing yet another adventure!
Big thanks Daniel. I will stick in the crowdfunder for one Dave's boats.
What a lovely video, great to see Goodwin gets the attention it deserves! Very nice side mission on the Marie, great atmosphere. Awesome that Cockwells helps out with Goodwin and shows us around everywhere. Thank you Harry!
....the dolphins, the boats, the food a lovely sight 😀
I watched with a smile from start to finish... Well done to all involved...
Christ this should be a million pound programme. brilliant and beautiful in every way. Thankyou boss
It's so good to see the new repairs and even more upgrades. Just surprised that Cockwells didn't put a mast on so you could be the first Searider motorsailer. Can't wait for the next instalment.
Lol, I wouldn't be surprised 😊
The upkeep and upgrading portions of this journey are fascinating and I'm so grateful you've included them!
Woke up, hit play, heard the music and I'm a happy guy. Love the series. I learn tips for my own Achilles. Best of luck to you and the team.
Very interesting, and a good video too. Good luck with "Goodwin" may her tubes last for ever!! John
Don't speak too soon...
Cor, Tristan’s looking old! Nice to see Marie is still going strong, Sol and I rescued her from Crinan after her major fire.. We had less than a week to get her running, and safe for her voyage down to Ponsharden, with very limited means! I can still remember juggling half melted batteries from down in the engine room, up into the wheel house through a hatch no wider than my shoulders.. 😂😂 fun times indeed!
Kudos to Ryan at Ribworkz! Great job mate!!!
Harry your videos take me to another place were I am living a cool life on the sea ,best film maker on UA-cam well done
This series is just great. The people you have met are so memorable .... however, poor Goodwin, Triggers broom springs to mind.
Harry. Great to meet up today. Thanks for the chat and keep going with Goodwin. Im Harrogate based, near Leeds so.if you are stuck on the east coast shout out.
Brill, thanks Andy!
love the pictures of the keel boats leaving Whitby for the Herring, When I was about 4 or 5 years old I lived on the cliff top at Whitby, and when me and my brothers were sent to bed, we used to stay awake, then watch out the window as the boats left the pier ends, after about 1 hour as it got dark (about 10.30pm), the sea about 6 miles out was lit up like a big town along the horizon. My oldest brother was about 8, and at around 4 or 5am we were up and off down to watch them come back in, not only were their holds full but the scuppers were blocked off and deck partitioned off with boards to stop the fish loaded on deck from washing about or going overboard. On flat calm days the boats were nearly sinking with the over laden catch.
the fish were lifted by basket (3 baskets to the cran, if I remember right) straight from the boat onto waiting lorries at the quay side. there was always a gap between the mooring bollards at the quay side edge and the lorries, and we young lads used to run along between the lorries and the edge of the quay like ball boys at tennis and collect any fish that fell out of the baskets. by 8 or 9am we would have a box full and we would set up a stall on pier road two fish boxes for legs and one across the top as a counter, and lay the herring out selling them for 1d (penny) for small ones 2d for middle size and 3d or threpence for big ones. we made quite a lot of money!
Ahh fun, though sounds like you didn't get much sleep. How long ago was it? We're not too far off from Whitby now.
@@harrydwyerHi I'm 71 years young, and the time we were setting up our herring stall would have been from about 1956 to about 1962. Never been a commercial fisherman but love boats & boat youtube channels, and still have a little boat in Whitby.
@@harrydwyer if you haven't passed Whitby yet on your trip, make it a stop off, My nieces pubs (arch & abbey and the waiting room ) are two of the best pubs in Whitby for real ale, and the best fish & chips in the UK can be found at just about any Whitby fish & chip shop.
Thanks Harry this trip and content is just getting better and better please keep it coming 😍😍😍
Goodwin and I are very similar I,m a bit older and developing lots of cracks after some serious work! Unfortunately some of mine cant be repaired but I love following your epic adventure… this dropping into my favourite box has brought the sun out. Thankyou S.
This series is just one of my absolute favourite things on UA-cam. I'd happily throw a tenner your way Harry to enable you to do bigger and better things and I'm sure other peeps would too! Just saying....
Videos about your journey have popped up in my recommended for ages, I didn’t click on any of them until now, and the fact you own a Renault avantime has peaked my interest further, I shall continue watching.
This is genuinely the best thing on UA-cam, it’s got to be on Netflix soon!
The thirst for adventure that this amazing series gives me is massive!! This series is just brilliant Harry!! I get so excited when an episode drops.
Best wishes to you my friend.
Avon should really be paying for the free advertising each episode. That RIB could go on forever.
I think Avon are now owned by Zodiac.
@@harrydwyer that’s even better then! Bigger company, more sponsorship. Thanks for the effort Harry, great content. 👍
I must say, you are a real film maker, this was incredible.
That's my evening meal watching sorted!
I love this channel so much. Looking forward to seeing Goodwin back on the water! Huge respect for Cockwells, wonderful business. What a great guy Ryan at Ribworkz is!
Top-notch video mate! I couldn't find your annotated adhesive, even on the Bostik website! 😢 but at least now I know about the C7 valves for my Avon so thanks so much! Great bunch of friends you got there....

Godspeed Goodwin! So happy to see a new episode this morning!
Thank you to everyone involved in keeping Goodwin afloat and the dream alive.
Thursday evening doesn't get better than a bit of Dwyer!!
Followed you since your first episode. Had a Flatacraft Force 4 with a 50 Suzuki back in the day so your adventures bring back a lot of happy memories. I always look forward to the next one!
Another (ex) Flatacraft Force 4 owner here. A great bus, had a lot of fun with her. Lovin' this series, brings back a lot of memories.
I think there's one of these on the sandbank in the Scilly Isles episode, did it make it into the edit?
Despite the problems with Goodwin, a new episode is always exciting.
Well done Cockwells..lovely to see a business making fantastic products, with a great company culture thats doing well and also helping out others. Hats off to you gentlemen. Wish you all the success you can handle.
I’m just blown away by how much wonderful people and events you can fit in one episode of your adventures. The editing is incredible, the filming magnificent, and the conversations sublime.
Never stop creating these gems.
What an exciting side mission. Love the episode, Cockwells seems like a great company with great people.
great watch, looking forward to the next episode !
Stunning vlog......love the ingenuity and resourcing for the maintenance.....really enjoying the series.....fantastic and looking forward to the action for 2024 !!!! Keep up the good work !!!!!
Yessssss! Another installment of The Odyssey (British version)!
Goodwin will ride again! It's so wonderful how this isn't just about the boat and the challenge any longer, it's about a community of people sharing in getting Goodwin through it. Truly special film-making.
Great to see Goodwin back on the water st the end!
Thanks for the great video!
So glad you exist on UA-cam. I love coming along with you on your adventures.
Just the best thing on UA-cam...and perhaps the water...
I love this channel and story so much. Wholesome and lovely. Thank you
So relaxing watching this. Thanks Harry.
Sounded like Hagrid when the big man said "hello Harry!"
Loving the converted herring boat to family cruiser. Slow is good. Top job
Dave is such a legend!
Think it needs renaming “Trigger’s Broom”! 😂
There's more work done on the broom.. coming up in episode 22, need to get a move on with these edits.
After the ancient greek references, surely a Ship of Theseus?
Brilliant episode, some great craftsmanship on display, and I look forward to see what happens next. Big kudos to Cockwells, it looks like a good place.
Harry I absolutely love these episodes mate. Nice to see Goodwin is on the mend. We went from Madeira to Porto Santo a couple of days ago. Bit rough on the way there but the first long journey since I got the Rib here.
Dave seems like a good egg.
Good going. Dave is a good egg, and he likes scotch eggs.
