Sailing Cornubia a Bristol Channel PILOT CUTTER

1. I don't like the stern with all that overhang, or as sailors say unsupported weight, better to have a longer waterline length

2. I'm new at this "watching business." I've binge watched the "Tally Ho" restoration from the start. Is it fair to say that I understand what "fair" really means? Watching Leo and others dive right in on a huge job, dedicated to the history and tradition has given me a budding love for the water. Would that I could take a sail on a true wooden masterpiece like "Cornubia" or "Tally Ho" or any other true sailing yacht I do believe I could safely die and be at peace with this world. Such lovely craftsmen and lovely creations.

3. How fast?

4. WOOOOHAAAWWW !!!

5. Has Tom Cunliffe seen it as it is now, I would love to see that

6. What a yacht, ladies and gentlemen! Astonishing woodwork: built to last.

7. What a wonderful boat.

8. Colonel Bill Tilman loved these craft; Mischief and Sea Breeze were his two favorites. His adventures are re-counted in Total Loss.

9. If I believed in past lives I was a captain of a Pilot Cutter like this one. My hearts drawn to these beautiful ships.

10. As beautiful a boat as there is to see, and a well done video to describe her.

11. I don't understand people disliked this video!

12. She’s a beautiful boat.

13. What a wonderful story told by a wonderful man about a wonderful boat……..

14. Absolutely superb vessel ,beautiful classic design. Many thanks

15. Beautiful job.
    It must be a pure joy to sail her.

16. The boat simply glides in the slightest of wind , fantastic , artful , quick !

17. "An exceptional boat" he says…… What an understatement! 👍

18. Beautiful. Only in my dreams.

19. I appreciate the concern of the owner to maintain as much of the original boat's aesthetics as possible. such boats should really get a second ''life'' in the right hands 🙂

20. Don't use stainless shackles, as advised in this video, but not just because they look wrong on a pilot cutter, but because they fail. Galvanised shackles are stronger. I used some stainless shackles on my gaff ketch in 1980, and got rid of them before the end of the year because of two shackles carrying away.

21. I love those cutters they are as spartan a vessel as has ever sailed… they are Britain in many ways

22. Can this beautiful boat cross the big blues?

23. Boat is a floating museum.absolutly beautiful
