Mads Bo Falk strives to keep it simple and safe aboard his Polaris Drabant called Mathilde. Take a peek inside this 26 ft boat that slept up to five (5!!!) during a four month circumnavigation of England. See a unique way to gain more comfortable sleeping berths by tweaking storage panels (*hint-what goes up must come down!), where to keep anchor chain on such a small boat, and much more!

Man I love this guy and his philosophy. And his solution with the seat backs is one to keep in mind

@drakeParagon 8 лет назад

+ForSeTi Trimaran Yes! The seat backs were actually one of my favourite ideas in the tour! So so simple yet versatile. ⚓-Monique

@w_ulf 8 лет назад

Thanks Drake and Mads for taking the time to share this with us. The meat canning idea alone is invaluable!

@SailingwiththeFoxwellFamily 8 лет назад

Thanks for sharing guys, Mads is as educational and inspirational as ever, we like this guy. And great interview Drake, the quiet and calm manner you have really seems to bring out the story in people. Thanks once again for letting us into your world.

@drakeParagon 8 лет назад

+funNstuff with the Foxwells Thanks for such a lovely comment guys! Interviews are such a great opportunity to peek inside another sailors life and really tell their story, and we were delighted that Mads took the time to sit down with us. It's also interesting to look at earlier interviews versus this one....haha, we've come a long way! Fair winds to you. ⚓-Monique

@W4ABN 8 лет назад

the idea of splitting the cushions make sense. I might incorporate that into my boat someday in the salon and the quarterberths. ~Daniel

@drakeParagon 8 лет назад

+W4ABN Daniel, we love that people are getting ideas from these tours...it's part of the reason why we make them. It's also such a simple idea that makes a task (getting into the lockers) that much easier. I very much wish we had split the back cushion on our starboard settee. It's a huge pain to store when we remove it and one of these days I'm just going to take the hatchet to the center and be done with it! Maybe... ಠ_ಠ ⚓-Monique

@rnunezc.4575 5 лет назад

What a character! Bravo for Mathilde crew AZ ND skipper. Love it. Thank u.!

@stevenpaul9259 7 лет назад

Love the clever hinge down / hinge up seat back that allows storage behind or width extension to the berth. And the keep it simple approach really appeals to me also...

@drakeParagon 7 лет назад

It is a great way to make the most of a small space and still have reasonably easy access. And keeping it simple keeps him on the water and off the dock...always a bonus! ⚓-Monique

@JohnDoe-ev9kt 7 лет назад

A wee bit off topic, but I hope you are all amazed at Mads Bo Falk's command of English, including nuance. We are so terribly provincial here in the US and the lack of almost any foreign language education beyond - maybe - a high school semester

thank you, for have a look in your boat.

@drakeParagon 7 лет назад

Thanks achim, glad you liked the video. If you're interested in boat tours we have several more ranging from a high performance racing boat to a classic wooden boat.

@astrobola 8 лет назад

Me encanta. I love his equation. And I agree with the motion for a meat how-to

@drakeParagon 8 лет назад

+astrobola Gracias! We love his equation as well! As for canning meat...we're actually looking into getting a pressure canner and, if all goes well, perhaps we'll have to film that! ⚓-Monique

@derkyffhauser5394 8 лет назад

this guy is just amazing. I hope he does not mind that I will copy most of his ideas for my Alberg 30. Especially the anchor chain storage. the Alberg tends to hobby-horse if I put to much weight up front.

@drakeParagon 8 лет назад

+Der Kyffhäuser We think he's pretty amazing as well. (✿◠‿◠) There are some great ideas here, and for boats of all sizes...I love what he does with the seat backs! Btw, I was looking at an Alberg 30 and loved the hull shape, and what a spacious cockpit! Lovely. ⚓-Monique

@derkyffhauser5394 8 лет назад

DrakeParagon Yes. Albergs are beautiful. Unfortunately mine came with a big wheel right in the middle of the cockpit and that takes up so much space. But she is in such beautiful shape that I just do not want to change anything at all. (except the seatbacks. I was looking all day at them and was thinking how to best implement the new "danish" design.

@drakeParagon 8 лет назад

+Der Kyffhäuser Ah, she sounds lovely...and we'd love to see some pictures when you implement that new Danish design! ⚓-Monique

This guy is a "hoot". A real piece of work. I hope there are videos of him sailing with Forsythe on Fiona.

@drakeParagon 8 лет назад

+Michael Kallelis Alas, I think Mads prefers to solo sail as opposed to crewing, but I'm sure they've passed each other at some point in their travels. You never know who you're going to meet in an anchorage! ⚓-Monique

@mobydick6420 8 лет назад

Thanks for a very informative and encouraging video. Did Mads ever show you how to make the food preserves with pressure cooker? That would be very valuable to know (esp as I am not much of a cook.) Also I cannot find "6. Cabin Tour of s/v Mathilde, Part 2" on Patreon or anywhere else.

@SVELFARO 8 лет назад

Nice boat and how he has it set up, but not enough amenities for me, but it works for him.

@drakeParagon 8 лет назад

+elfaroproductions I definitely wouldn't want to be without our wonderful dinette, but it must be nice to have a boat that is comfortable for long offshore passages AND ready in a moment for quick day sails. It certainly would be cozy for full time living though, I agree. ⚓-Monique

@mikewoodford8208 8 лет назад

split the cushions. it's so obvious, and i didn't do it when i last redid mine. yes, he may be a genius but these are pretty simple ideas and I can't believe I missed this one.

@drakeParagon 8 лет назад

+Mike Woodford We also have an extra long cushion on the back of our starboard side settee and it is the bane of my existence. It's impossible to store and gets in the way every time we have company (we remove the back cushion to make more room on the sleeping berth). It really is a simple idea that we're going to adopt...sooner rather than later I hope. ⚓-Monique

@wilsnich02 8 лет назад

Hi Guys, I am really enjoying this series of interviews..... the pressure cooker is interesting and would love to see how he does it. There are some uploads on RU-vid regarding that. The Canning would be great to see or can you make a big batch of the contents and take it to a cannery to have it canned ??

@drakeParagon 8 лет назад

+wilsnich02 The pressure cooker is very interesting and we're actually looking into getting a pressure canner. The one we have our eye on can fit up to ten pint jars at a time, and that amount seems perfect for a meal with leftovers for the two of us. I've not heard of any place where you can bring meat to get canned, but it's an interesting idea. If we end up getting the canner we'll be sure to film our triumphs...and failures? (✿◠‿◠) ⚓-Monique

@drakeParagon 8 лет назад

+John R Hey John, Season 3 is coming, but we're taking a bit of time in between to work on some paying gigs (gotta keep those lights on!) and the interviews are a bit less labour intensive.

@drakeParagon 8 лет назад

+Sailing Blue Bird They can be quite lovely. I spent two months crewing on a friend's 29 foot boat and it was the most wonderful experience. I felt very in control of the boat in so many different conditions and never felt over powered...even when things were not going well. You certainly give up space below, but the rewards can make the trade off well worth the compromise! ⚓-Monique

@prof.heinous8118 6 лет назад

Drake, we need the secrets of Bo's meat preservation explained please.

@stevecheshire5210 8 лет назад

Hi Drake, I heard Mads quit his cruise to the Carribean on Yacht Fiona in the Canaries ? Eric said he was seasick ! I find that hard to believe?

@drakeParagon 8 лет назад

+Steve Cheshire Just to be clear, this video is an interview of Mads Bo Falk aboard s/v Mathilde, not Mads Dahlke who sailed aboard Fiona. Fiona's almost 800 nautical mile passage had some very strong wind coming from astern for many days - I'm sure the motion of the boat was extremely rolly. I probably would have puked my guts out.

@nathanahern3278 8 лет назад

Whats the name of the recipe/method of the meat in the jar? cheers

@JohninCle 8 лет назад

interesting.. Where is the traveller on his boat when the dodger and bimini are up? I am trying to figure that out in my head. Ive got a traveller behind me and enclosing the cockpit is probably impossible. That reminds me.. yours is kind of a center cockpit boat too.. perhaps I need to look more at your boat for ideas.

@drakeParagon 8 лет назад

+S/V Dulcinea Ahoy Dulcinea! Mads takes the enclosure down when they sail. His traveller is in the cockpit just aft of the companionway. On Paragon our traveller is just aft of the enclosure so we can sail with the enclosure on. I have a horizontal zipper in the aft end of the enclosure for the main sheet, and holes on each end of the zipper for the traveller lines.

@maker78 8 лет назад

@ForSeTiTrimaranAvalon9 8 лет назад

+MrToasty222 I second this. 1 or 2 years without a fridge ?

@MrToasty222 8 лет назад

I think it is pretty the same like make vegetables ready to storage in a glas jar. Very common here in Germany (especially in the generation of my grandparents), but I would like to be sure :D

@drakeParagon 8 лет назад

+MrToasty222 We're actually looking into getting a pressure canner, especially since we're thinking of heading up to expensive Norway. If we could can enough meat to last through our journey there and back it could mean huge savings for us PLUS it would probably be a lot healthier. If we end up getting the canner we'll be sure to film the learning process! ⚓-Monique

@drakeParagon 8 лет назад

+ForSeTi Trimaran Apparently you can even keep it longer than that, however, as time goes on the texture and nutrition will start to decrease. ⚓-Monique

He also produced many other cruiser interview and boat tour series over the past few years that are all in this playlist. -> ru-vid.complaylists?sort=dd&view=50&shelf_id=30 In there you'll also find a presentation he made at a yacht club about his background and the big plan behind this RU-vid channel.

@malefunctionable 8 лет назад

Would be great if you could learn the preserving of meats, and make a how-to video ;)

@drakeParagon 8 лет назад

+Naitsirkhelo We are very seriously talking about ordering a pressure canner and, if we do, we'll be sure to document the process. It certainly seems like it could be a great solution moving forward, especially if we end up spending the winter in Norway. If we can can enough meat to last the winter, and augment with fresh veggies, it could be a huge saving for us! ⚓-Monique

@malefunctionable 8 лет назад

+DrakeParagon Very nice! I I'm very intriuged by the solution my self. I just bought a King's Cruiser 34, and I'm planning to use 3 months on the Norwegian coastline this summer. And hopefully I'll be spending even more time next year 😁

@drakeParagon 8 лет назад

@TigerBeatJunior 8 лет назад

I don't understand the "thumbs downs" on any of Drakes videos. I just can't fathom it. Are you mad about the music choice? Are you jealous of the lifestyle? Do your videos and editing skills not compare? I don't get it. There's not even any opinions in these videos for you to disagree with! It's so weird.

@tomjeffersonwasright2288 8 лет назад

+TigerBeatJunior Perhaps they are from some more experienced sailors. Some of the ideas here are pretty standard, and fairly basic, more for beginners than experienced sailors. For instance, having 1 anchor would be considered asking for trouble in some anchorages and conditions. But while not everything is covered here, what is covered is very positive and upbeat. I don't see anything to dislike.

@TigerBeatJunior 8 лет назад

+tom jackson I agree. I don't see Drakes videos as being "how to" videos. I have never come here looking for knowledge, yet always manage to learn something. I appreciate his endeavors in highlighting other sailors and their vessels, no matter how different they may be...and yes, I'm gonna talk about him like he's NOT reading this. ;) LOL This is a great sailing channel regardless. Very unique in many ways.

@SVSecondChance 8 лет назад

he said keep it simple. there is a saying i use sometimes. "KEEP IT SIMPLE STUPID". this means when your making or redoing some thing don't over do it. complicated is hard to fix at sea with hand tools. so no smart stuff.. only simple and stupid stuff.

@drakeParagon 8 лет назад

+S/V Working On It Looking For The Boat Simple can be a great way to go though that is not the route we have always taken. There are certainly some systems aboard Paragon that we have 'backed up' from being a little overly complicated to a much simpler version. It can be easy to be seduced by the thought of all those time saving devices until you realise you spend all that extra time (and then some!) maintaining them! (✿◠‿◠) ⚓-Monique
