Thoroughly enjoyed that thankyou Tom. What a beauty Saecwen is. Such a joy to know that the skills are still out there to produce such a magnificent vessel in these days of mass production.
All is not lost indeed. Thank you, a great piece and you can really feel the pride he has in his vessel. Looking forward to your next video, excellent.
Absolutely wonderful. It's a real joy to see that standard of craftsmanship today. It's also great that she has been rigged with two masts. After thousands of ocean miles with our ketch I'm convinced it's the better choice. Thanks for a great video.
WOW not surprising you would bring this boat to our attention. The best boat I have seen I have seen in years. Kraken is awsume, but Saecwen is just so much more in many ways, absolutly wonderful. Thank all of you.
Gorgeous. Wish my life could afford months of sailing and boat like this…. The Nesting dinghy was my highlight, what a fantastic mounting system. Don’t be too harsh on mass production everyone… it means others can afford to sail too
Beautiful boat, deep pockets to build. I have wanted to build a Roberts 38 because I have wanted a cross between the Rival 38 and Contessa 32, you can also get the interior you want to and there is nothing around production wise. This was until I costed it. Glad someone can do it. Well done
It was great to see you and Charlie 'in the flesh' and get some more glimpses of 'Saecwen'. It's also great to hear that building the boat seems to have been a happy experience - in spite of Covid challenges - for all parties. From what I hear, she still goes to windward astonishingly well, even though it wasn't a priority. And she's already clocking up the miles! Nigel Irens is a genius.
Lymington does look a bit chilly Tom :) Saw the boat in the yard as we walked back from the Jolly Sailor after New Year's!; intrigued and found your Yachting World article from last year about her, stunning boat. Great Video again, always enjoy your insightful yarns!!
What a wonderful project, so well executed, the result is beautiful. I am sitting in a marina surrounded by huge expensive and ugly boats and thinking why do so few people with money create something such as this Well done.
The owner must be very happy and I thoroughly enjoyed the story. Great job on the visuals. I wonder if you could do a video on craftsmanship, woodworking unique to boats, and the people who do that work. How does a builder translate lines on paper into a finished product.
Nigel is one heck of a talented designer. I imagine his services do not come cheap. That said, cold molded yachts built during lockdown at the Elephant Boat Yard must cost a fortune too.
Really great to see this. Very exciting. It keeps the charts and critical thinking as part of the system. It looks very powerful. I'm an android user so hope that it'll come through. My last iPhone met a distressing end. Separately, I wonder if it may assist users to see a prompt reminding them to bear in mind the likelihood that local inshore flow effect and eddies may affect their position and course to steer for a point - tide flows slightly further offshore may be corresponded by large feeder eddies.
I saw little difference in the underwater profile between this boat and the model you featured at Bucklers Hard ! Also similar sheer and rocker to that which my much smaller Rival 34 shares .
@@TomCunliffeYachtsandYarns Always something. An old surveyor had the best advice, "..before you spend lots of money on that new old boat you've just bought live with it for a month. At the end of the month you'll be amazed at what does and what doesn't bother you".
Canted rudder posts always puzzled me, and adding horizontal winglets moreso. Fine in small deflections, but the aft canted hinge would appear to make the winglets thrust a bit opposite to the desired turn. Sure, probably the main effect is to make the rudder more effective, but with drag and downward thrust as the winglets skew around. There is an interesting video "why we don't use winglets" which explains aviation winglet pitfalls with simple math (which I forget).
Each to their own and if that was an old boat I'd love it - that's the way it was designed and built because that was the tech of the day - But why build NEW with designs and ideas that are no longer valid? Long keel, small cockpits (that are terrible at anchor where you spend 90% of your time) and on and on. If Nathanael Herreshoff was alive today you think he'd be designing boats with long keels, short righs, brass etc? Not a chance.

Superb ! Just superb. Lovely I bet that cost. I like the ideas of a bronze keel extension and the wings on the rudder.

Ohhhh my, what a beauty! 😍
The craftsmanship and [even] artistry in the woodwork...
Thoroughly enjoyed that thankyou Tom. What a beauty Saecwen is. Such a joy to know that the skills are still out there to produce such a magnificent vessel in these days of mass production.
Fabulous. A great video about a beautiful yacht and her proud owner. Thank you. 👍👍👍
Another great an interesting video from Tom. They also do colour on Naval bases, you don't wanna get caught outside when they do! 😂
Another stunning lady brought to life with sculpture and finesse many many years of beautiful sailing towards unknown horizons congratulations
Just beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
Love that dinghy arrangement - first time I have seen athwartships mounting.
All is not lost indeed. Thank you, a great piece and you can really feel the pride he has in his vessel. Looking forward to your next video, excellent.
Always surprised how many people are oblivious to Nigels vast range of design ability. What a peach!

Anorher great video Tom and what a boat she is!
Both extremely beautiful, safe and functional.
Thanks for sharing her story!

That shot of you sitting in the cockpit near the end of the video tells us all we need to know about what you think of the boat.
That synergy, the sweet spot between tradition and thoroughly sensibly innovative-love it . Thx
Impeccable craftsmanship!
Beautiful boat.

Inspiring video. Thanks Tom.
Great video, Tom. Saecwen is a fine looking boat.
Nice video thanks
A fabulous and fascinating article, thank you Tom 👍
So nice conversation
Great to follow along on your adventures and voyages....
Beautiful.
Very nice. Thank you for the video.
Stunning, nothing else to say.
Beautiful boat...loved those arched door frames around the cabins.
Thank you Tom, this was an excellent segment. Really enjoyable and well edited.
What a beautiful boat a credit goes. Out from my heart to the builders and the owners bank account cheers n beers Marty Australia
Tom, thanks for the video. I'm counting on the lotto!!
Hi Morris. We all must keep on hoping!
Simply Stunning.
Thank you again, Tom

Stunning boat and build.
wonderful
What a beautiful boat!!!
Absolute stunner 😍
great stuff Tom.
3:15 If I hadn't heard the narrative, I would've guessed the Dutch designer Koopmans...
it's very good to see you Sir. Have a nice day. :)
Hurray!
Excellent episode….I enjoy the Lymington vibe, my old stomping ground! Thanks, Andrew
I saw little difference in the underwater profile between this boat and the model you featured at Bucklers Hard ! Also similar sheer and rocker to that which my much smaller Rival 34 shares .
Nice Yacht
Beautiful boat!
Really beautiful boat - thanks for sharing :-)
Great video but would have been nice to have a walk round of the boat :-)
A beautiful boat.
Tom you are a better story teller than a sailor 😅😅😅😅
Brilliant!
Buy, what's prettier than a traditional cutter rigged ketch? Just lovely. The bronzed centerboard inside a skegged keel is extremely cool.
She's gorgeous.
Beautiful
Was I correct seeing laminated frames.It looks very efficient.
functionality -> beauty
Who makes those gorgeous sheet winches?
"Rudder" and "Cockpit" are they the only yachting terms shared with aviation?
Beautiful. The one question you didn't ask "if there was to be a mark II what would you change?"
Nice question Matthew. There's always something, but it's probably a bit early yet!
@@TomCunliffeYachtsandYarns Always something. An old surveyor had the best advice, "..before you spend lots of money on that new old boat you've just bought live with it for a month. At the end of the month you'll be amazed at what does and what doesn't bother you".
@@matthewsellers82 very, very true and very wise advice from the old surveyor. And an excellent life principle generally.
High art
How many millions does it cost nowadays to build?
Love Tom's videos! This is not your "average" man's boat
Doubt you'd get much change out of 5 for that, regardless, it is Tally Ho quality. Excellent.
If you have to ask, you can't afford it.
@@williamturner1517 I never thought I could afford it. I simply asked what it would cost in case my rich old uncle would like to build a similar one
Someone has LOTS of money, or at least they used to. :P
👍!!!
AM I THE ONLY PERSON TO FIND THIS KIND OF EXPENDITURE OBSCENE ?!?!...
I think a full keel makes a sailboat so much more beautiful...there's nothing attractive looking about a fin keel, is there?
Lots attractive about getting into a shallower anchorage, surely?
My boat has a fin keel but you wouldn't know it because it's in the water.
@@patsmall9425 Nice comeback!🤣
Depends how much you want to look at them out of the water
@@timway6839 Or just enjoy the superior stability of a long keel when in the water....
Watched with great interest in Australia. Excellent work Tom.
Nice pea coat.

People want to view sailing not looking at it
