A Day sail on Tall Ship Tenacious 

Thanks Toni, glad you enjoyed it. See you soon at MCCB

It was a pleasure to meet you Nicola, I hope it brought back some lovely memories. Check out the other videos on my channel, there's some more sailing ones. Dave

Hi Zane. Glad you enjoyed the video. It was a great day wasn't it. Good to meet you and Steve. Take care :-)

Thanks Bob, I hope you enjoy the other videos. I've almost finished my latest, that will be posted soon. I've just started looking at your vids. Very good :-)

Hi William, The sails were bit of a token gesture, the wind was very light and we were only expected to be out for a few hours. They had a rookie crew (like me) so there was a lot of pulling at the wrong time etc. I was actually surprised that they put as much up as they did. Coupled to which the sails unfurl more easily when the wind pulls them out, they furl into the yards and require quite a lot of pulling on sheets to get them out. With a bit of wind it would have been much easier as the pressure of the wind would have helped. Thanks for watching. Check out my other videos and Pleeeease subscribe.

Hi Again, I would love to go too, maybe I will. I'm a cancer survivor so I need 3 monthly medical treatment and constant blood tests (to make sure I'm still alive). It was a lovely day out though, I was on a hell of a high for weeks after, still am a bit :-)

@@davesailing I was in Portsmouth in 2018, didn't see her there, maybe she wasn't doing day trips then? Had to content myself drooling over the Victory and Warrior...I could spend a week visiting that dockyard. Be well, I enjoy your videos!

Hi Stuart, yes I was very impressed with the safety brief and the fall arrest device. The climbing was very low stress. I got talking to some of the crew involved and they told me how much the safety gear had improved over the years.

Check out the Jubilee Sailing Trust web site Roger. They are strongly focussed on sailing for everybody and so there are compromises and safety is paramount, especially when you've got doddery old farts like me going up the rigging. There would be such a furore if they killed someone. It's a lot different on board when they are on a proper passage and the paying crew are expected to sail the boat. There are watches, which include full time crew, Volunteer crew and paying crew and they run the ship for x hours. It takes quite a lot of work and time to deploy all the sails and on just a day out, no sooner would they have been rigged than we would have had to take 'em all back in again. The higher up the mast the rigging is less rigid and just rope ratlines.

Hi David, it comes highly recommended from me. I really enjoyed it and I'm planning to go again next year.
