1. What can you tell me about 50’ Bruce Robert’s sailboats

2. Dinghy style lifting rudders would be a solution to knocks. I've got a Seawolf 30 with widely canting twin keels. Thinking about encapsuating them though. Also going to make it unsinkable.

3. I realy loved that video! After following people with dropped rudders I think that this info is excelent!

4. That was awesome thank you for sharing

5. WOW!! That was Encyclopaedia Britannica in the flesh, bringing some serious enlightenment. Huge thanks for this video.

6. Thank you this was very helpful 👏

7. Awesome opens your eyes to a lot and shows the latest yachts aren’t necessary the best
   Keep it up 👍

8. This guy finally explained a blue water shifting and purpose of it. Very well made.

9. Generators? Come on Dick, I had ice and espresso at my 44 Trintella out of my solar panels and windgen. Aircon is trickier but DC models are bridging the gap.

10. All about rudder!

11. Wish I could like twice, impressive.

12. Love the underwater hull shape, how would a 50mm shaft fitted to rear bottom of keel to bottom of rudder skeg to help protect rudder go??

13. me and my family actually did drive around the sahara ina peugeot 206 haha. great video, you should try to link up with james from sailing zingaro

14. great interview! Thanks.

15. Can't use big solar panels and big enough batteries to give enough ampers instead of ice generators. I think makes sense for bluewater cruising.

16. Dick is spot on and is correct that the industry has simplified and cheapened the build process pushing speed while ignoring all the great construction processes that went into the best blue water cruising yachts. I'm convinced that Dick got it right and is building one of the few true blue water luxury battle tanks available today. My next boat choice has shifted too focussing on the Kraken 50. Previously it was the Oyster 50 and Amel 50. But the superior hull of the Kraken is obvious and a real confidence builder. I've always been afraid of bolt on keels for fear of a whale strike or container. The unsupported twin fin rudders are also a deep concern. I like that super reinforced rudder on the Kraken 50. The kraken stands out as the best engineering and hydrodynamic hull. Soon time too visit the factory and inspect the process.

17. Awesome I have a Dockrell 27 which is identical to a Bowman but was bought out eventually by Hurley and then Dockrell, but all used the same mold. My boat was built in Tavistock England and made its way to the east coast then put on a trailer and taken to the pacific nw..

18. While looking at cracking Yachts keel it looks a lot like my Dockrell they both have a flared bottom full keel.

19. fantastic thanks for shareing this interview and all the real world experience Dick has

20. wow, great job

21. Oi! He missed Swanson when he was "going back 30 years" for a blue water boat:P

22. What a great interview! I read just this past week that the US race boat in IMOCA class hit a log and capsized off the coast of Florida. This goes to his point, the amount of junk floating around the oceans is insane, not even counting orcas chewing rudders off. I thought that event was a one-off, but it ISN’T! A great many British sailors jump across to Spain to summer in the Med in decidedly NOT blue water yachts and have their boats completely destroyed by a pod of small whales simply being playful and curious. I’ve been considering a blue water boat for my next lift, and been watching a lot of YouTubers on their adventures, which is how I found this interview. Every single one has found half-sunken yachts on every corner of the globe, and only ONE is still ghost sailing the world with no crew, Paul McGettigan’s Swan 48. The older boats can now be had for under $10,000 US, and if you shop around boat yards in the autumn around the northern US, you’ll find boats where someone’s accrued slip fees are beyond the value of the boat, and the yard has put it up for sale, as-is. Usually, these boats will sell for pennies on the dollar, and you can find some fantastic old boats already in a shop that will happily fix what’s wrong to get some profit back into a lost cause, no transport necessary. Big old full-keel yachts are out of style these days, but they sure do press on across the world, don’t they?

23. I like this guy – safety first, second and third

24. Very interesting.
    I will keep our Allegro 33, s swedish bluewaterboat.
    (It has a long keel with almost half the weight in an iron keel, which is bolted, but can’t fall of…
    I have both sailed on a rock and last summer crashed into a pier…
    The latter I don’t recommend..,)

25. Anyone remember Silva Nexus electronics?

26. Really nice to hear personal stories of experience at sea and practical insight to the design of blue water boats. One thing though… he says if his rudder had fallen off they would have been in a 'life-raft situation'. On a huge 40-50ft yacht with all the tech and resources, if you had no rudder you would choose to decamp into a life-raft? That just seems like an odd choice.

27. Also, come-on, just now we have a woman competing for second place in the Golden Globe Race..its 2023.. the references to 'wifey' and women as tag along comfort seekers is sexist! I accept this is not the topic, and that Dick is being genuine and is from an era when women were not so involved in sailing, but Adam?

28. Great interview! I was wondering, however: aren't Island Packet Yachts safe and bluewater yachts by Dick's standard? They all have full keels and protected rudders. Then alfter all there are other production blue water sailboats after all nowadays.

29. This was great!

30. This is the most insightful interview that I have ever seen. I am researching bluewater as an ex navy chap and having been through Dartmouth as an X officer I got a lot of what he was saying, so much so that I am now investigating buying one on the back of this interview, and that on the back of previously looking into Hanse!

31. Great interview!

32. Man this is an incredible interview, nice work Adam

33. 50ft kraken starts around €1M.
    Yikes.

34. I would of thought he would say it has to be made from steel.
    Then bolt on keels don't matter. Running on a reef, not the end of the world.
    In the worst situation you can button up and weather anything.
    My old man's friend sailed around the world in the 80s on a steel yacht he built himself. At one point he got caught in a cyclone and got tipped. He lost all his rigging, basically everything on the top. He had all the water tight hatches closed and eventually the boat rolled back over and he survived. He motored to the nearest port, and after buying some new stuff he continued sailing.

35. That was a fantastic interview. Couldnt help but thinking if sacrifice speed for build it will become a self-fulfilling prophecy that you’ll need it often when weather windows change. However i agree at some point you will need it when you hit something.

36. Out of interest, what's the Guide Price for the New Kraken 44. I have zero interest in a Boat much bigger than that tbh. Probably way too much money, but you never know. As long as it is an aft Cockpit it's in with a chance. Not a large chance, but definitely a chance. As of now, to greatly increase the chances of getting a Secondhand Shallow Draft Boat, it looks like I'll likely have to buy one in the Caribbean. 2+ mtr Draft is right out , and most on this side of the Atlantic seem to think 1.95 mtr is Shallow Draft. Can't seem to even get Elan Yachts to make me a boat with a 1.6 mtr Draft. Or a Single Rudder. 😒Still some Secondhand ones around though. Bob.

37. I wonder what Dick thinks of trimarans

38. 9:20 i kinda have fun when i am frightened to be honest or at least i somewhat enjoy the process, but i get the point.

39. Fascinating and very informative interview. I enjoyed it immensely and benefitted quite a lot. Many thanks to you both.
