This is a video about Golden Vanity, a yacht built in 1908 by a Brixham fishing boat yard. She's had a number of lives, as you'll hear, and she's now embarking on a new career with a switched-on crowd running her. Me and my mate Steve the Camera had a grand day on board meeting the crew and sailing the boat.

I love that line "The wisdom of vernacular man" never a truer word....what a gorgeous vessel.

@patricklaine6958 3 года назад

I'll second that. Godspeed to Golden Vanity. May the next 100 years be as rich in adventures as the first.

We keep bumping into you Patrick, watching the same channels. Proof you can be a traditionalist yet embrace change. Sail Safe mate. Ant, Cid & the pooch crew.

Hi Tom. I following you. You are the most lovely person around. I sail up north in Norway. Vadsø my hometown. Lots of nature up here. Sailing soon to Isle of Man. Visiting sailor friends. You look so kind. ❤️

Ver nicel Beautiful sailing kutter. De spirit of the sailors is a Way of life. Sports is a way to make Dreams visible in our lifes.🙂🇦🇷

I recall that the first 100 year are the hardest. What a great story and what great references for previous owners. All the boats that I have bought have come to me in silence, not a remark or a log just the trace of wear and hull scrapes. The brokers notes have been the only historical reference. But when I sail them I get shouts and enthusiastic waves that suggest my new boat has a popular history. Great outing.

Another nice video! Force 4-5 with only a finger on the tiller -- just a lesson from the past to be enjoyed today.

What a lovely film, I could watch another hour of that. Tom Cunliffe has a knack of bringing everything to life, well done.

@RogerRoving 3 года назад

Nicely done Tom. I was mate on GV one passage, long ago, and I feel the same fondness.

@toddsumner3216 3 года назад

My two favorite RU-vid sailors in the same spot. Would love to see Roger and Tom do a some filming/sailing together.

Sailed on her as mate some 30 years ago: a laying-up cruise from Brixham to Galmpton. The jib was much larger then and came back past the mast. Tacking was a single-handed affair: tiller over, walk up the windward side, loosening the shrouds, walk the jib past the winch as her nose went through the wind and then walk back to the cockpit on the new windward side, tightening up the windward shrouds and get back to the cockpit. Took between 1 & 2 minutes.

What a great new owner, a perfect match! So pleased to see her fresh from a refit and being actively used as she should be. Nice one Tom 👍

Hi Nick, really enjoyed your series, even though you made them some time ago! The series with the Sharpie in, that is.

Really enjoyed watching this. Many thanks 🙂

@1240enzo 3 года назад

Thankyou Tom for showing us this boat from another age that is just as relevant now, if not even more so than when she was originally launched. I thing of beauty, history and soul. Simply lovely.

@justintaylor375 3 года назад

What great stories surrounding that boat! Love you describing her as an organic thing, Tom. Glad to see an really neat gal like Louisa out sailing on her.

Hard to beat a boat with a soul. I've got an old wooden one that I'm restoring and they do get under your skin and become part of you.

Thank you for sharing.

@ivok496 3 года назад

I was in the lucky position to sail on her as well with the same amazing crew (skipper and mate) the day after, albeit without Tom Cunliffe. It was such a pleasure to sail her, we had a force 5, gusting 6, on The Solent, and she sailed so easy, gave so much confidence, you could really trust her. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

@esvarwyn 3 года назад

Absolutely glorious, thanks Tom and team and crew of Golden Vanity!

@djowen5192 3 года назад

May she bring joy to the next generation of sailors.

@philippendlebury4518 2 года назад

I'm not a sailor but I love your you tube vids - full of knowledge, passion and good old English humour. Salt of the earth TC - God bless you. Might even buy a boat myself - God help me if I do.

@kentmeredith2945 8 месяцев назад

Your storytelling is so effective, I think you could convince the most resolute landlubber to give up terra firma and head to sea!

@msf60khz 3 года назад

Great that Charlie has saved Golden Vanity, on which I did my Day Skipper. Happy memories of a beautiful vessel.

@tomriley5790 3 года назад

Well done in restoring her! Impressed by someone single handing Golden Vanity Accross the Atlantic, impressed that his food lasted for 80 days! Hope that she has many more miles under her keel after the refit!

Thanks for sharing Tom lovely to see these old gaffers still sailing ,Cant wait to see Leos boat the Albert Strange designed Tally Ho finished ,Not sure if you have been following the exceptional restoration he has embarked on .A truly amazing young man , Nice to see Patrick Laine watching also ,Another exceptional Sailor !!

@Njord78 3 года назад

The Golden Vanity brings back fond memories! I sailed her during the Tall Ship Race in '96 for a week through the Finnish archipelago. And yes a ship like her goes under your skin. Now I am a shipwright and so happy to see that she is restored again!

@858493 3 года назад

Hi Tom once again thank you for such a wonderful adventure, l love how you bring these old girls to life and l particularly love how you involve the human element, we've all seen old boats tied up and or at berth, but getting the human story across brings them to life in so many other ways, I would have loved hearing you yarn with that old mate at the pub and share some sea shanties with us....once again thank you Tom regards Doc from Down under.

I saw Golden Vanity in Fayal, Azores in 1970. I thought her old then.

@alexandergstettner9820 3 года назад

Hi Tom lovely, I can only agree: Less computers, more handcraft-ship, and LISTENING to the experienced ones! This is something I am missing nowadays so strongly in the school of my kids, especially now in this difficult times it would be so immense important, to stop internet home schooling with immediate action!!! and teach the kids value that they really need for life. Handcraft, using the logical brain factual thinking and most important SOCIAL skills! This is what I try to give my kids on their way, but internet and mobile phones make my life not easy... look after yourself kind regards from Austria. Alex

When you mentioned 1909, I remember thats the year the Waratah disappeared off the coast of South Africa. With the search history penned in book form by a gentleman David Willers who stays in Anglesey, Wales. "In Search of the Waratah"

Hi Tom, have you taken a look at all at the Tally Ho Restoration Project? Seems like it might be of interest to you as a restoration of an Albert Strange design from a similar time period. Its been beautifully documented.

@rayred74 3 года назад

she is a lovely boat as long as she belong to someone else

@davecharlesworth8176 2 года назад

As someone without a nautical bone in their body is there a reason why some boats have red sails as in the Goldern Vanity and some have the white sails you see on the tall ships. Is it cosmetic or for a practical reason such as different sail cloth? Great presentation as with all your videos.

@johngriffiths118 8 месяцев назад

It’s a preservative applied to traditional sails to extend their life

Proverbs 30 verse 18-19 There are three things which are too wonderful for me, Yes, four which I do not understand: The way of an eagle in the air, The way of a serpent on a rock, The way of a ship in the midst of the sea, And the way of a man with a virgin.
