  • Sailing from Camden to Rockland aboard the Pinky schooner Prophet with her captain and builder Tom. We used no motor, but sailed her straight from her mooring in Camden's outer harbor, south down Penobscot Bay, turning in at the breakwater Lighthouse in Rockland.
    The Prophet is a traditional wooden Pinky schooner built to a design recorded by Howard Chappelle. She was built on a farm in Maine, Tom fell all his own trees and built here as traditional as possible. She does not have a motor, instead she uses a yawlboat powered by a 100 year old single cylinder gas motor.
    Pinky schooners were used as cargo and fishing vessels along the coast of Maine, today only a few exist. Other examples would be the Fame and Ardelle built in Essex, MA by Harold Burnham.
    All footage was shot, edited, and mixed by Capt. Outlandish and Outlandish Marine.

    Super nice~ I loved watching the backwinded sail at the beginning. All those touristy schooners motor out....

    My heart and soul ache to be out sailing on the water. There is a peace there that I can’t find on dry land.

    Interesting how this craft looks so graceful and fanciful from outboard. But the view from the deck shows how utilitarian and pragmatic it is. You might think it was a gundalow or more prosaic vessel unless you knew better.

    Looks like Prophet has a really bluff bow and a broad beam for a pinky. Really beautiful. What are her dimensions, if you don't mind me asking? Of all the schooner types, pinkies are probably my favorite. I've watched videos of Ardelle and Tiger over and over and over again. Just beautiful lines. Any chance of a tour below decks at some point? Thanks for taking us along for the ride!

      Pinky’s are known for their bluff bows and broad beam, it’s typical of the design type. I highly recommend reading “American Sailing Craft” by Howard Chappelle, it has a whole chapter on Pinky schooners

    The sound of that engine is from my childhood in the Baltic, bigger engines with less revs but the sound is still there.
    This one of them.

    What a beautiful schooner. Nothing like a wooden hull slicing thru the water. And the wind pushing on the sheets. Nothing better in the world . Takes ya back when the great sailing ships ruled the seas. When ships were wood and men made out of steel.

      Tom doesn’t haul cargo, he is a wood worker. He has a little shop in Camden where he makes wooden furniture when he’s not working and sailing on the PROPHET

      @@CaptOutlandish Seriously SORRY. The comment was Absolutely not meant for u. It was posted for another vid in my viewing queue. the almost 45 mim vid didn't show any profile pics. I couldn't believe that, so I reviewed the vid and saw that there were indeed some poorly framed long distance profile shots -- but nothing compared to ur closeups.
      I then DELETED the comment. I honestly don't know if there was some glitch that caused the comment to end up in ur thread.
