    I like the sound of the water as it ripples on the side of a lapstrake built boat when you wake for a busy day.
    Amazing fleet of wooden boats. Vortex looks the business. Thanks.

  • Michael Werneburg says:

    Short of being with God in his Kingdom, there is no better place to be than on a Wooden Boat under the best of circumstances. And the more, the Merrier!

  • ROBERT ROESCH says:

    ERR, added to my bucket list. As always, with thanks and appreciation for your work. See you in Pt. Townsend.

  • John Bukowsky says:

    Epic video! You do have the best job. Your work keeps the vision of sailing, the people involved, and their resulting boats, alive and well. OCH stops the breed from vanishing and I think, helps it grow!

  • Joseph E Pitoniak says:

    Wonderful stuff! Happy to say I took some of this Maine magic back home with me last summer in the form of a lovely Caledonia Yawl.

  • Jackson Bergamo says:

  • Carolyn & Ron Pease says:

    It is wonderful to see the true spirit of pleasure sailing. It was easy to see that all parents and the kids were winners!!!!

  • Paul Lippincott says:

    What can I say the baton being passed, on the job training, love the kids. It is really nice to see young blood learning to sail, and what better way to learn. ” Great Video”

  • Todd Renton says:

    Such a high degree of sailing a common sailor may never acheive, but what every sailors’ dreams are made of…

  • tom strong says:

    It’s wonderful for a midwestern wooden boat enthusiast to be able to view these videos!

  • Martha White says:

    Gorgeous photography, gorgeous boats, gorgeous early morning light…and agreed that watching the baton being passed to another generation is what it’s all about. This one may be my new favorite.

  • Clint Chase says:

    My favorite part was Brian giving tips on how to trim the spinnaker…on the job training without the stress of having to win. Perfect!

  • William Boulden says:

    The day will come when I will be able to pass time around such beatiful works of art and function. Absolutely fabulous!
