What are we if we are so preoccupied with making money and playing games and entertaining ourselves if we don’t have the aptitude to admire this craftsmanship. These are men who are worthy of much respect. And for those who have bothered to produce this excellent film which brings us pause as we wonder about these people from yesteryear, they also deserve much hearty praise. We say thank you and God bless you.
"What are we if we are so preoccupied with making money and playing games and entertaining ourselves" Sounds like happiness to me, why is it always one thing or the other for people. Maybe i can admire this craftsmanship on a Saturday and relax on a Sunday all without anyone judging me thank you very much!!!
@@olafhenson3626 Have to say the I agree with you. How is it that for some people that unless we agree with them, and get super positive vibes about everything, that somehow we are shit. By the way, are they saying that people long ago were not preoccupied with making money and entertaining themselves? Doubt it. Truth is that their World was just different. Agree however that those who have bothered to produce this excellent film cause us to wonder about these people from yester year, and they that deserve much hearty praise. Hooray for yesteryear. OK?
They are rebuilding a beautiful, ancient instrument. Tuned by hand, so the Ocean can again play on it. I have no idea how all these angles once taken can practically be carved en route cutting the wood, and how those chaps are keeping track of all their marks and signs and wonders. I only like to call it wonderful. May Barnabas always cheerfully cut the waves under fair winds. Thankyou from Germany 🌻:).
Great video and a great story. I myself was a member of an association that had built a replica of a 17th century Scandinavian post yacht, and spent many happy hours crewing for our fare-paying passengers off Vaasa in Finland. She's a 12-metre, 12 tonne boat. Anyway, Barnabas is a beauty and well worth all that work. Congratulations to all involved - well done!
As a time served shipwright it is wonderful to see the old skills still in use. Now retired I spend my time building model boats. Amongst my collection I have a “ St Ives Bay mackerel driver,” the Ebenezer, which sails like a dream despite not being able to dip the lug to tack.
Brilliant film! I was in Falmouth a few months back crewing a Bristol Pilot cutter that was built and worked from my little village of Pill, Somerset where the Bristol piloting started from. Drinking around the pubs in Cornwall and speaking with the locals they really do have a love for these classic boats and the enthusiasm is off the scale.
Nice to see the work done on Barnabus. I spent 19 years at Penrose Sailmakers in Falmouth. The round orange coloured makers badge stitched on near the tack on the foresail look to be the old type we used to use. The badge design was changed at the end of the 90s, so I think the sails shown at the beginning are the ones we made for old Barnabus in the early/mid 90s. It's awesome to see that she's been restored and preserved for another century or so.
In 1854 12 fisherman took the 36 foot lugger “Mystery” from Penzance to Australia ,which she completed in 116 days at sea a feat that was only beaten in modern times , thank you for restoring the old Barnabas ,so ok she may not be another Cutty Sark but she is becoming as equally important as she represents a line of sea going boats that are getting smaller as the years go bye
Very impressive. I hate to think how much it cost!! Were any of her original timbers re used, I wonder? It looked pretty much like a total new build to me.
What's interesting at 28:06 is that they have removed the metal pads from the G-clamps, and the ball end of the clamp screw sits in a depression in the wooden pad. Very clever. Otherwise you'd be trying to clamp up all the wooden pads at the same time as trying to stop them falling down between the clamps and the plank. If you're doing something in a hurry, everything needs to be located - there's no time for messing around! There's always so much to be learned seeing real experts at work.
One man restored a 1910 woden ship on youtube the vlog is called "Sampson Boat Co" hundreds of chapters shows actual work not some exec members looking good for the camera. One man in charge he is a shipbuilder and lots and lots of helpers. The ship is Tally Ho.
Leo and team are still restoring Tally Ho and getting very close to the finish line, a wonderful set of Videos. Great people wonderful skills a journey through time.
Heb zelf de gelegenheid gehad om aan een houten Barkentijn te werken. Deze was in zijn soort uniek. Helaas gezonken en de middelen om weer opgeknapt te worden was er niet. De Elisabeth Smit is wel een boot waar ik vaak aan terug denk. Remenicances noemen de fransen het chique 🎉😊.
I watched a father and son restore an old wreck of a mackerel driver in the yard at the top of Galmpton Creek on the River Dart. It must have been around 1983 or 1984. Ralph was the father, Brian his son. Sadly I have forgotten their family name. All done with hand tools only.
This boat seems vaguely similar to "Tally Ho", though this boat seems more serviceable and more of a work boat than "Tally Ho". It was restored by an Englishman in Port Townsend, Washington, USA. "Tally Ho is much more a piece of fine furniture like wood work that I would be afraid of damaging. I take it that your boat is christened "Barnabas" ? More of a work boat?

Thank you for producing such a beautiful documentary of Barnabas. I have seen her on the high seas a number of times. Fairwinds.
That’s remarkable!
Respect for all builders!
Good ole Knockabout Yawl, well done to all the craftsmen.
What a beautiful boat!
These national treasures are priceless, worth the effort in rehab.
Even if you are done with the rehab ❤

Great Video well made, showed the time and skills involved great storytelling. You could feel the history.

Wonderful documentary and commentary! Thanks so much for making it -- and of course for remaking Barnabas.
Loved this vlog, more heritage saved. Well done all. A beautiful boat

Than you. Nostalgic memories for me.
Been there and done that!.. lol
Our Boys 92ck.. Essex Smack!..
Would love to sail down there and play with you Boys at the Falmouth Classics...
Superbe remise en état !! Congratulations for all ...
Excelent wooden work from this guys, greeting from Norway.
Wow simply wow, fantastic story, brilliant skills, top class documentary ❤.

Great Video….but tell me who plays this great music
Funny, I grew up in Maine and the old photos look like my family pictures
magnifique /. naviguer sur de tels bateaux est meilleur que d'être cousin du roi , sourire,
Like the movie titanic with that boat sailing the ocean

I came for Tom Rickman’s MUSIC!
THIS BOAT WILL SINK. A PRIEST WAS NEARBY😮
Go find a life my friend👎👎👎
My surname is McNab, any relation to the writer and film maker I wonder?
?
Hardly a restoration or even a rebuild. Not a stick of the original boat remains in the boat. An excellent reproduction.
