Patrick Childress Sailing ... I haven’t watched that one yet. I hear and get Rebecca’s concerns. I was an actor for about ten years. Some key pointers for Rebecca: 1-Don’t worry about clothing. Anything she feels good in ie; a hat or ponytail for the hair. 2- She might do better setting up the camera and having her be in frame with you. (Like having a conversation with a coffee/tea in hand) 3-Find the fun and game in everything. Ie; bloopers, remember the time when..., MOST IMPORTANT: If you’re in your head and are not feeling like you’re getting it right, talk about what’s there in that moment (omg I feel like I’m tongue tied now!) And get into your body to get out of your head. Do something with your hands or body ie; pushups, squats, do dishes, cleaning. ITS ALWAYS IN THE TASKS THAT HAVE YOU FEEL GROUNDED. That’s why you’re so good. You’re always doing something while you’re speaking. (Almost always) 😉🙏🏼🇨🇦 FAIR WINDS AND FOLLOWING SEAS. ❤️
Yeah...his voice is the best voice. I watch the videos a LOT. I remember he said those videos will help me someday....to fix the boat right, and to remember his voice and expressions etc. Who else gets that as a momento???
Patrick, you could make 1hr clips and I'd still watch them. Love your no bs approach. Just meat and potatoes. Solid knowledge from an experienced captain. Keep them coming. Cheers!
What Patrick didn't realize was that one of his videos could never be long enough. His passion for sailing, his abundant knowledge, and his calm demeanor, kept you fascinated for hours. I personally learned so very much from him and will be eternally grateful to have learned so much from him. God bless and keep you captain.
@@RVLifeNOW as long as your content is interesting and informative take as long as you like. Its kind of like sitting around one of those communal marina gatherings where we all learn from each other and that can never be too long. In fact, if you make it too short, you'll invite millions of questions that may bog you down lol.

Thank you Terry. I was just working on the next video sailing from Richards Bay, S.Africa to Hout Bay, near Cape Town. Before I knew it, the vid was already 18 minutes long so we will have to make it a 2 part of about 18 minutes each. Thanks for watching.
For me these videos were never too long. I find myself watching them again and again. Learned so much information about sailing from Patrick, going to miss him a lot. RIP
Take whatever time you need to cover a given topic. I was enthralled with this vid from start to finish. I think the content and presentation are more important than a particular length.
Enjoyed. You do four things right to make your videos longer if needed..Your information is interesting, you give good tips and your motion and still pictures are edited well. The forth is your voice is plesent to listen to.

Patrick, with the type of content you put in your videos and the way you do it straight to the point without any non sense, I relay do not mind if your videos are 2 hours long. Great job
I just recently found your channel, and I'm really glad that I did. I could listen to you for hours. I'm impressed with both the quality of your content and your editing. Keep doing what your doing, or whatever you feel comfortable with producing. Raw / unedited footage can work well sometimes also...makes it easier for you & sometimes people will respond to it well just the same. I hope you're monetizing the channel somehow, to make it worth your while. You deserve to be paid for your quality content & effort.
Thanks for the encouragement and comment. We did click the monetize button when we hit 1,000 subscribers but the money is a pittance. It is the encouragement of the viewers that keeps us going.
Your video is just right for one seriously interested in the Valiant 40. Very informative. Bluewater sailing ? Lots of things to think about , with your years of experience on the same boat 24 minutes of detailed info is a treasure.
I wanted to say that the cameragirl (Unsung heroes ) is doing a FABULOUS job . Really keep her in good knick sir , the boat too. Deepest Admiration for Bob Perry, Goerge Buehler , and the rest of northwest boat design men . From California, namaste.
Thanks William...but Patrick pretty much does this video stuff himself. He has a story in his head that he just can’t communicate, so he does all the filming and editing himself ;) I just do some of the background stuff to help the video once he releases it. I TRULY wish I could help with the filming and editing but it’s his brainchild..and communication is not his best suit, except perhaps on film. I learn a lot about my husband watching these videos!!! -Rebecca
It’s always pretty clear that each of your videos serve a purpose. I never feel inclined to fast forward through them, and often ponder the ideas you share well after the videos end. The wider they range, the more I ponder enjoyably. Since you’re not conveying an emotional story, you might enlist the little marketing trick of a list: 10 Best Shipboard PVC Pipe Hacks, 5 Surefire Methods Of Beating Mold and Mildew, 5 Examples of Water Traps For Foul Weather Ventilation, etc., etc...
I'm more in favor of any of the videos being approx. 20 minutes but even then I often watch them at 1.25 speed. This one at 24 minutes is just fine. Keep up the good work!
Hey Patrick, great work as always. I didn't think it was too long but I'd say I'm more enthusiastic than average. So I'd say 15mins would be perfect as some folks may lose concentration after that. You're a great resource for aspiring cruisers. Hats off to you both.
Devon, Thanks for the info. I would like to make shorter videos as it generally takes at least 2 hours of editing for each minute of finished video. But often, to complete a video, it has to be more than 20 minutes long. 15 minutes or shorter will be my new target.
30 minute vids are are great. As others have said, it’s the content that matters! Well done, Mr. Childress. Looking forward to your next and thanks for sharing. 🍻
I learned a number of things from this video and appreciate your posting it. The additional drain hole on the side of the cockpit is a clever idea. I don't think you could have covered all of those items in less than 24 min.

A most excellent video. I appreciate the details. Thank you for posting. The length was fine because the information throughout was useful. No problem having long videos when the content is this good.
Thank you Patrick, a lot of things to weigh into my choice for a world cruiser as I head into retirement in a few years. Video length depends a lot on the content. I tend to like the 15 - 20 minute videos a little better, but if the content is really interesting, a little longer isn't a bad thing. When the video is about boat maintenance, or in this case, education on what to look for, more is better. If it is scenes of waves and clouds, it can get old quickly. That said, everybody has different taste and what I enjoy will be very different from what other viewers are looking for. Steve
EXCELLENT TOUR!! when the info is worth it there is no video length that's too long - this video is a Perfect example of that! Can't wait for the next one! Thanks!!
Still not sure how to take those comments. Hope ypu will keep watching. Hopefully my videos will be even 25% as informational as his were. -The Marina Queen currently in Namibia..
Wow. Very good video. 20 minutes is a good video length. Anything under 14 minutes and the Patreon crowds gets upset. Grew up in SE Mass. Keep up the great work.
Thanks Lou, for the comment. We are off in the morning to go way inland of Tanzania for the animal herd migrations, safari. Should be fun. We have the next video set on auto to appear at 10am New York time. I hope you like that one too. New England was a great place to live and sail, especially June, July and August.
The videos have great content, they are informative and you keep them going with no dead spots and that makes for interest that makes for anticipation and very enjoyable thank you for being able to do this

Funny story: I'm 61yo so this was back in the mid-1960s or so. My dad was a chemical engineer so he really didn't deal with metals much, but one day he came back from work with a little pancake of metal about 3 inches in diameter only a 1/4 in thickness. He tossed it our way (me and my younger brother) and said something like "take a look at that." I picked it up. Light, much lighter than I thought. My dad said try to bend it. As soon as tried to bend it, he said toss it back. Then he showed that he couldn't bend it also. I was so impressed that I remember it to this day.
24 minutes is perfect for me...love to watch you and other SVs while having my super...or sitting in living room couch. So I dont have to get up every 10-15 minutes to start a new clip! Well equiped boat the way I liked it in my long gone younger days....Clips also well done and very informative! Thanks Patrick Godspeed
Thank you, Andre. In my younger days, the 27 foot boat I lived on for 5 years was pretty sparse, more like camping out. This boat is comparative luxury and far safer for all the electronic navigation equipment on board.
Hi Patrick well In my view as long as it is good information the video's can be as long as it takes, I am a novice sailor and like learning from your vast experience , thx and keep up the great tips and tricks
Well done Patrick! Possible solution for your ladder would be to use another modified hook like on your mast, that way you never forget to secure it. Fair winds!
Going back and trying to answer all old comments. I have so appreviated everones support during the last few difficult years... Thanks for watching...Hope you still are...
"Some things on this boat are very low maintenance and yet will always be a marina queen" Awesome job on the hat tip to your beautiful bride Patrick. Cool boarding ladder. Great tour part 1 - on to part 2! Fair Winds Patrick and Rebecca.
@@RVLifeNOW I can see the appeal to this channel to many people - You and Patrick have so much knowledge sailing over the past 40 years it is a great means to share that with the sailing community. After seeing the sailing resume of both Patrick and you I was even more impressed and eager to listen to what you had to offer. Hopefully others can see that as well.
I will have to check out your info on titanium 5. I also have problems with ss disintegrating on me, mostly on sheet and halyard blocks, the straps and beckets crack. Thanks for the enlightenment on hull walk--I always thought it was from the different water density between the top and bottom of the spinning prop, but your explanation sounds more reasonable--the wash is getting thrown more on one side of the hull than the other, and Bernoulli's principle is creating low pressure there and pulling the boat to one side. Obviously that would make it dependent on hull shape, as you observe. I also went through a similar evolution in anchors--I plowed furrows with a CQR (and nearly lost the boat on several occasions), then went to a Delta which worked much better but still would occasionally drag on me. Now I have a Spade anchor, which is by far and away the best anchor I've ever used--plus no roll bars, so it will fit on bowsprit rollers.
Great to hear from you. We have been far inland , Tanzania, for a while now, safari time. I should have commented on one of your recent videos having 10-15 knots for part of the passage from Bahamas to the Carib. was excellent luck and nice job picking up the mooring nunder sail. On propwalk, dcades ago when I was in a class to get my captains license, the instructor said the boat prop is like a car wheel, if the prop turns clockwise, the stern will go to stb. and counterclockwise, to port. No one considered reality and what the prop wash was doing or left hand verses a right hand prop. Good to hear you agree with my thoughts on the plow anchor. Spade was on our list for a new anchor but in Thailand, our other top anchor choice, Manson, was there at the marine store. Keep up the goog video work!
@@RVLifeNOW Likewise Patrick, I'm impressed with the new vids you have been publishing, and the depth of your knowledge. Another thing you mentioned is the hobby horsing tendency of double enders--yep, Ruth Avery really gets going sometimes, which seriously hampers forward progress when close hauled. The rounded stern apparently helps, although I imagine she must drag it quite a bit when approaching hull speed... As far as the CQR, find a friend who lives ashore and donate--they make great garden decorations! Fair winds .
Contents is great so I say great length. Thanks! great videos about the stuff I want to know about sailing. Not too polished just full off experience! Thank for your effort and cataloging this information!
Another awesome video. Ten minutes is not enough, so I’d say 15 minutes is great. I’d love to see Mrs. Childress more. Tell her we like her input. Namaste 🙏🏼😍🇨🇦
Have you watched the marine electronics one?...she makes a solid debut there...but she is still a little hesitant...she is a bit self conscious with all the beautiful young youtubers out there ;)
the length is great, a lot of really good info and tips. As a new single hand sailor, I find the videos to be very informative. I especially like hearing about the equipment and simplicity. Case in point, I have the same EBIRP, could not figure a place to mount it, this video answered that, Thanks, Cheers
24, minutes is definitely not too long. Kind of perfect actually. The information is awesome. I'm taking tons of notes. Thanks so much for doing this!!!
Hi Patrick, nice video! You have used a lot of outstanding features on your boat especially the starboard ladder. For someone that has a lot of “things” installed on the stern, like windvane and possibly a dinghy on a davits and other stuff, getting into the boat from the stern will be very difficult and your system is very practical and can be used in several situations... well done! Also the Grade 5 titanium pieces used is another great tip... I will for sure use it in the future while preparing my boat for ocean crossing. As per the video length... in my opinion, something between 12 and 15 minutes (max) is ideal. For the next video... show us also some tips you used on the inside. Fair winds ;)
Love your videos.. Soon seen them all. A lot of knowledge. I am dreaming to head out to the world in about 5 years with our 32 foot sailboat. By then maybe our children is out and me and my wife head out towards the sea.. A lot of inspiration. Thanx!
Patrick, The time is fine for me. I like your videos for showing what works in real life, and what does not. No one else is putting this info out. When you do part 2 could you please discuss how you deal with condensation inside.. Thanks
I will write myself a note to mention condensation. There is padding glued to much of the hull, installed by the builder, to help combat condensation. But the biggest majority of our sailing has been in the tropics and condensation has not been an issue. But we will eventually be in S. Africa where it is much cooler and eventually on to very South America, where we can be affected by condensation in those colder latitudes.
Hi Patrick, a very nice video. What a wonderful retirement you guys have. This is what i'd love to do when i retire. Enjoy your freedom, because the last time we were free, was when we were kids.
Francois, every day we appreciate our life style. I cannot imagine being stuck in a house and what we would do to stay busy. But there is a ton of boat maintenance that is needed to keep these old boats going, and that can get old, but we keep at it.
Hi everyone! Don’t forget to SUBSCRIBE! And give a THUMBS up! Are you considering buying a Bluewater sailboat?

Well done Patrick! Possible solution for your ladder would be to use another modified hook like on your mast, that way you never forget to secure it. Fair winds!
Going back and trying to answer all old comments. I have so appreviated everones support during the last few difficult years... Thanks for watching...Hope you still are...
Great video Patrick
Thank you
"Some things on this boat are very low maintenance and yet will always be a marina queen" Awesome job on the hat tip to your beautiful bride Patrick. Cool boarding ladder. Great tour part 1 - on to part 2! Fair Winds Patrick and Rebecca.
Thanks David...just when I thought you had watched them all! -Rebecca
@@RVLifeNOW Sadly almost done - but there is still the animal channel videos I look forward to watching.
@@RVLifeNOW I can see the appeal to this channel to many people - You and Patrick have so much knowledge sailing over the past 40 years it is a great means to share that with the sailing community. After seeing the sailing resume of both Patrick and you I was even more impressed and eager to listen to what you had to offer. Hopefully others can see that as well.
David C Thanks...another one next week..we just couldn’t manage today...Patrick so busy! -Rebecca
@@RVLifeNOW I look forward to it. Say hey to Patrick and you both have a great weekend!
enjoyable tour, absolutely awesome.
Ah thanks for watching
Great video. Length is ok as lots of interest.
Vids like this. an Hour will be ok. Peace and be safe out there.
Thanks..maybe I should do an update!
So good I had forgotten the time. 2 thumbs up!
Thanks
Great video. Not too long at all. Very informative. Thanks for sharing all of your insights and observations on your boat.
Thanks
I will have to check out your info on titanium 5. I also have problems with ss disintegrating on me, mostly on sheet and halyard blocks, the straps and beckets crack. Thanks for the enlightenment on hull walk--I always thought it was from the different water density between the top and bottom of the spinning prop, but your explanation sounds more reasonable--the wash is getting thrown more on one side of the hull than the other, and Bernoulli's principle is creating low pressure there and pulling the boat to one side. Obviously that would make it dependent on hull shape, as you observe. I also went through a similar evolution in anchors--I plowed furrows with a CQR (and nearly lost the boat on several occasions), then went to a Delta which worked much better but still would occasionally drag on me. Now I have a Spade anchor, which is by far and away the best anchor I've ever used--plus no roll bars, so it will fit on bowsprit rollers.
Great to hear from you. We have been far inland , Tanzania, for a while now, safari time. I should have commented on one of your recent videos having 10-15 knots for part of the passage from Bahamas to the Carib. was excellent luck and nice job picking up the mooring nunder sail. On propwalk, dcades ago when I was in a class to get my captains license, the instructor said the boat prop is like a car wheel, if the prop turns clockwise, the stern will go to stb. and counterclockwise, to port. No one considered reality and what the prop wash was doing or left hand verses a right hand prop. Good to hear you agree with my thoughts on the plow anchor. Spade was on our list for a new anchor but in Thailand, our other top anchor choice, Manson, was there at the marine store. Keep up the goog video work!
@@RVLifeNOW Likewise Patrick, I'm impressed with the new vids you have been publishing, and the depth of your knowledge. Another thing you mentioned is the hobby horsing tendency of double enders--yep, Ruth Avery really gets going sometimes, which seriously hampers forward progress when close hauled. The rounded stern apparently helps, although I imagine she must drag it quite a bit when approaching hull speed... As far as the CQR, find a friend who lives ashore and donate--they make great garden decorations! Fair winds .
The length was fine and the info is great! Thanks
Thanks
Awesome video with a lot educational for newer boater , thanks
Thanks for watching!
Contents is great so I say great length. Thanks! great videos about the stuff I want to know about sailing. Not too polished just full off experience! Thank for your effort and cataloging this information!
Thanks so much!
Patrick this video is so helpful in my rebuild...One can never have too many ideas...keep up the great videos...thanks... favorable winds!
Thanks
Your videos are always fantastic and informative, too short, not long!
Your content is valuable and presented efficiently. The videos could be an hour, I'll still watch twice.
Ah that’s such a nice thing to say..thank you..
Very good info and well presented. 24 minutes is fine with me.
Thanks
As long as it's interesting, the length doesn't matter. This was a very interesting video. I'm looking forward to seeing below deck.
Thanks for watching!!!
Another awesome video. Ten minutes is not enough, so I’d say 15 minutes is great. I’d love to see Mrs. Childress more. Tell her we like her input. Namaste 🙏🏼😍🇨🇦
Have you watched the marine electronics one?...she makes a solid debut there...but she is still a little hesitant...she is a bit self conscious with all the beautiful young youtubers out there ;)
Great video and not too long. If the delivery method was bad, it'd been way too long but you did a great job.
Thanks for watching…
This was a great video! Thank you for sharing this information and your perspective about what works (or doesn't) and why.
Ah thanks for watching!
video is good, so its length is good.. thanks for your work. fair winds and good luck.
Great thanks
Nice video. Not too long for me. Thanks for your efforts.
Thanks! Hope it’s not too cold there SailingPittsburgh! (This is Rebecca btw)
@@RVLifeNOW It is still to cold to sail. I have to wait about another month to get the boat back in the water.
the length is great, a lot of really good info and tips. As a new single hand sailor, I find the videos to be very informative. I especially like hearing about the equipment and simplicity. Case in point, I have the same EBIRP, could not figure a place to mount it, this video answered that, Thanks, Cheers
Glad it was helpful!
24, minutes is definitely not too long. Kind of perfect actually. The information is awesome. I'm taking tons of notes. Thanks so much for doing this!!!
Ah..thanks for watching!
@@RVLifeNOW Always a pleasure Rebecca 😉
That was a lot of hard earned practical knowledge you passed along. Have a good New Year.
Thanks
Another great video, length totally fine.
Thanks for watching!
I loved your video and explaining..!! Enjoyment through out. Thank you so much!
Your welcome..thanks for watching…
The video was great, does not take long when the content is great value thanks for the tour and explanations
Hi Patrick, nice video! You have used a lot of outstanding features on your boat especially the starboard ladder. For someone that has a lot of “things” installed on the stern, like windvane and possibly a dinghy on a davits and other stuff, getting into the boat from the stern will be very difficult and your system is very practical and can be used in several situations... well done! Also the Grade 5 titanium pieces used is another great tip... I will for sure use it in the future while preparing my boat for ocean crossing.
As per the video length... in my opinion, something between 12 and 15 minutes (max) is ideal.
For the next video... show us also some tips you used on the inside.
Fair winds ;)
Yes the ladder is great!!
Love your videos.. Soon seen them all. A lot of knowledge. I am dreaming to head out to the world in about 5 years with our 32 foot sailboat. By then maybe our children is out and me and my wife head out towards the sea.. A lot of inspiration. Thanx!
Excellent…hope you are almost there a,
Patrick, The time is fine for me. I like your videos for showing what works in real life, and what does not. No one else is putting this info out. When you do part 2 could you please discuss how you deal with condensation inside.. Thanks
I will write myself a note to mention condensation. There is padding glued to much of the hull, installed by the builder, to help combat condensation. But the biggest majority of our sailing has been in the tropics and condensation has not been an issue. But we will eventually be in S. Africa where it is much cooler and eventually on to very South America, where we can be affected by condensation in those colder latitudes.
Hi Patrick, a very nice video. What a wonderful retirement you guys have. This is what i'd love to do when i retire. Enjoy your freedom, because the last time we were free, was when we were kids.
Francois, every day we appreciate our life style. I cannot imagine being stuck in a house and what we would do to stay busy. But there is a ton of boat maintenance that is needed to keep these old boats going, and that can get old, but we keep at it.
It didn’t seem like 24 minutes so well done in my book
Ok great…
I love the Boat. Well done video. Thank you.
