We hear the passion in your voice. No school like old school. You get a two master and I'll volunteer to be Captain of the Forecastle...or Folksol. Great video as always. Thanks for the tour. Cheers!
I went to The Hobart wooden Boat festival In 2009 when I had a little folkboat in Kettering . Sailed up for the day , awesome event , looks like it’s grown significantly. Great day , great boats , great food , music and last but not least , Awesome setting at that federation dock in Australia’s most picturesque City .ole Hobart town . Miss you tassie . Thanks mate
Freyr SeaWolf it was so beautiful, I love Tassie, what a place!!! It’s the last land of the free!!! Loved every second... First mate would of appreciated it as much as Captain!!! X
I love how the rigging went down the boom of that 100 YO SV. No nonsense rigging. The old accompanied by new is fantastic. Also the green color of the brass is so charming and warm.
You were definitely in the right place at the right time,and it wasn't an accident I'd say👍 So many beautiful vessels in one place,thanks for sharing this one with us😀
haha, it is an "island continent" my friend, all trade by sea before flight....we are a coastal society, few live in the interior. Sail before we could walk and a 12 volt battery tied to our waists. Sea Dogs we are by hook or by crook...👍
I'm a life member of the wooden boat assn here in Melbourne.. I am yet to make it to the Tassie wooden boat show but its on my bucket list. I have built a scale model of Hereeshoff's Landfall and put remote control in it and used it many times and always get comments on the detail and beauty, I would love a full size H28.
Just a beautiful video.. thanks for including the turning moment, a great try actually, very difficult to do master and truth be told you were given an unfavourable pice there with it`s parallel grain. The guy concerned was a little bit of drama queen though! Really hope there`s a conservation project with the Huon Pine in there somewhere.. Hang drums are ace and a great choice. Great to highlight the the wooden boats and the show, and truly so much knowledge, love and history In less than 13 minutes! Wonderful to watch, learn and absorb. Well done with your own little piece of unique history, touching the place the others can`t reach again.. Lovely job, great stuff..
Boats are an excuse. Things that allow you to avoid AI (Artificial Intelligence) that are so prevalent in urban life these days. You two are my mentors, my guides in life, my favorite boaters. I do enjoy watching others but no others are quite like you two. As soon as my dog dies, I’m going to join you out there. I must leave this place.
The Geordie, the Witch and the Wench Easy for you to say! It was easy for me to say Once Upon A Time; when my days were longer before me. One brain 🧠 says of course while the other plots against me. It has this idea for using drones with radio gear and AI to change the world 🌎. But into what..? I’ve taught my dog to talk. She’s teaching me how to howl. See you soon.
Couple wants to buy a pirate ship and asked how many people it will take to sail her? Bless their hearts, but I think they should learn how to sail first?
John Ward I had work and devastatingly couldn’t go with the gang to Tazzy! Simon has described it to me in great detail (he’s very good at that!) and I’ve seen all of the photos and behind the scenes footage!
There is so much nice boats on show. with lots of forsales signs on, But none with a price tag on? Hmm! I wonder why? Never mind you have a few years left in you before granny loran will need her Clipper retirement home sitting in her rocking chair knitting scarfs for her 23 kids. Just keep eating Asparigus!

So much to see, so much to do.... this is really just a quick walk around and in no way does it do justice to the show, glad you enjoyed it ;-)
put my name on the list i'll be third mate

I saw the Endeavour replica in the background, ans was the Duyfken there as well? two ships I have had a long association with.
Great video, many thanks very nice and beautiful ship
Great stuff - I never knew Aus had so many boats!

Beautiful Boats for sure! Thanks for the tour!

Epic!! Must get down to tas some time!!
Anyone know what band were playing? They sounded great!!
Thank you for sharing your trip! Almost felt like I was there...so jealous I missed the smells and feelings of the rocking boats!
Excellent - thank you for sharing👍
Well done.....a couple of wooden ships there that would look good under me! Thanks! Andrew

Stevek552 thanks again mate, Tasmania is truly beautiful, the air is so fresh and the old sailors are a world of knowledge 😉
Loved the boats ! Great video , , Thank you !
The H28 was a important boat in your waters. So many companies made wood and fiberglass versions.
Great boats and many were made in Australia quite a few in Geelong
Great video. would you happen to know the name of the sloop featured from 2:37-245? Cheers
Mitch Milne I’m sorry I don’t recall her name...
I'm kind of partial to the
CHOY LEE slops. My cup o tea ♡
+bobrat I love the Chou Lee, Made in China 🇨🇳
@@TheGeordietheWitchandtheWench I sW a couple in your video ♡
Very hard to find in other than complete sailing condition.
Fantastic
Make me want a Timber boat .
Hey Simon, you mentioned a sort of pine but I couldn’t make out which sort . What’s it called?
Huon Pine Lagarostrobus Franklinii
The question on every ones mind is where is the second mate ?
+John Ward you mean first mate, Eryn will aslways be First mate!!!
We are gearing the boat up for another sailing adventure... 😉
@@TheGeordietheWitchandtheWench so glad she is wonderful!
Find some Sharpies and get some footage of Sharpies in action . We need to show that monohulls can go fast.
If you guys see Rob & Lisa there, say Hey for me. Geneticists, pilots & sailors!

Great vid don't get boats like that now...
They certainly don't. Loved the show, if you ever get the chance I highly recommend it !
Couple wants to buy a pirate ship and asked how many people it will take to sail her? Bless their hearts, but I think they should learn how to sail first?
+Cesar Gonzalez well you got to start somewhere, The idea was for us to jump aboard and help / show them how to sail :-)
sorry I couldn't take the constant steel drum noise & I had to abort.
Sorry first mate
John Ward I had work and devastatingly couldn’t go with the gang to Tazzy! Simon has described it to me in great detail (he’s very good at that!) and I’ve seen all of the photos and behind the scenes footage!
I want to marry an Australian girl. Is this possible?
