Neil Henderson says:
We need more Gypsies – wonderful boats that help blokes talk.
Bruce Abrahams says:
This is another video that inspires. Would have been nice to do a segment or even whole video of all the workings.
Steve Stone says:
Thanks for the idea Bruce. 2017 is the next Aussie festival.
Richard Heilman says:
Terrific account of a great group of guys in a great boat with lots of history together.
Perhaps I missed it but do we know if Gypsy has an engine? The few frames in a canal with locks suggest the answer but wondering .
Kenneth Scott says:
This boat looks a lot like a Seagoer Yawl (which I own one built in the 1930’s)
Love the video…thanks a lot
Neil Martin says:
I love this video. It is not about the boat, but it is about time and perspective. One cannot gain sight unless he he has a true perspective in life. Cheers
paul barton says:
Love it, a fine boat and crew.
Tom Williamson says:
I think this is the best one yet, Eric and company. Many thanks.
Richard Sink says:
I very much enjoyed the video.

Wonderful story, and doubly wonderful that the story continues!
Tom Roderick says:
I enjoyed this video and the remarkable story about what we love about sailing that keeps us coming back for more. Fair winds, Gypsy!
Kevin Brennan says:
Love it , love it, love it!!!!! Thanks for a great story and what a lucky family to know the value of the important things.
Paul Atkins says:
The story is as wonderful as is the boat. Thanks.
james york says:
Among the great stories at OCH, this one is a real winner.. Would make a great movie…
Sean Hogben says:
You guys just keep on doing it. It takes a light touch to capture the magic of Tassie boats and crews without portraying both as anachronisms. The magical timbers (and high craftsmanship) keep them going as long as the world’s best and they are lively, sailed by vital people in challenging waters over the world’s best cruising grounds. All this is clear in this delightful film for which I am very grateful.
Timm Sahs says:
Beautiful,beautiful tradition!!!

What a fabulous boat and heartfelt story. In a day of push button life and push button sailing what a relief to see and listen to a bygone era that still thrives down under. Great story. Now I want to go visit Gypsy
Steve Keating says:
What a lovely boat and a congenial skipper and crew! Happy sailing.
