Lately I’ve been finding myself with a fascination for sail ships of older times. These videos have been a perfect explanation of how they functioned! Looking forward to part 3
Had to leave a comment for thanks. I'm writing a fantasy themed pirate story right now and this helped add some additional flavor and realism to the story. Clear, easy to understand and no excess fluff. Excellent video.
Hi Patrick, im really glad it helps you explain. I’d love to go see the Cutty Sark, it’s a very known name. It’s in London right? . I’ve been to see HMS Victory once in Portsmouth but would love to explore the English fleet more! :) thanks for watching Patrick!
What a joy any kind of sailing is, especially as one learns and becomes progressively more proficient, wether on a wind-surfer, sail boat or a yacht. This presentation of Fulrigger sailing experience, so beautifully coached and explained, was wonderful. I was fully there engaged and enthralled and part of the company. Brilliant in every aspect, thank you.
This is really awesome, I’m a historian, doing some maritime history, and it never ceases to amaze me how ship crews learned what to do and do it often under considerable pressure. It’s little wonder such a culture existed and exists amongst sailors. And no fear of heights! It would be interesting to see a focus video on exactly how to climb and scale - and balance all the way up there! Must have been a terrifying thing to learn!
Hi Audrey! Thank you for watching! Its is deffinetly a topic worth taking up, the climb, harness or not, hos to Secure and the cause of accidents. I’ve Got some interesting things coming. But if you have inputs and perhaps some interesting research i’d love to know about it to create better videos. All the Best! Simon
Fascinating and so clearly explained and demonstrated. Thank you! Could please you explain the mechanics behind the expression " three sheets to the wind"?
I would love to create an episode about that expression. Thanks for your feedback. Meanwhile I found an article that explained it quite well en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/three_sheets_to_the_wind

Thanks for that Simon. I often work as a volunteer explainer on the Cutty Sark. Now I can explain things to our visitors more clearly.
