Whaly Boat USA 455 and Yamaha 50 – Review

BetsySteel Boat

Extremely tough, unsinkable, and no pontoons to keep patched and inflated. Give Kern or Kyle a call and talk to them about the last dingy replacement you will ever need to make. Tell them you saw it on SV Seeker.

Whaly Boat – Better than a RIB

BetsySteel Boat

We built an tough aluminum tender for Seeker, but it was just too heavy so we went shopping for a RIB, and Betsy came across the Whaly Boat. And it’s the perfect tender. Extremely tough, unsinkable, and no pontoons to keep patched and inflated. Give Kern or Kyle a call and talk to them about the last dingy replacement you will ever need to make.

Raising Sails – Part 1

BetsySteel Boat

The greatest thing about Seeker? It’s not the size, the strength, her engines, or even the sails. It is the community of crew are supporters that have been drawn to her. People who are confident, adventurous, quick to laugh even at themselves, accepting of others, and who often say goodbye with a hug instead of a handshake. What a wonderful world we would have if we had more people like Seeker’s crew. That is indeed the greatest thing about Seeker. –Doug

Starting Down the River

BetsySteel Boat

After a week of problems with fuel, starter, trim, all sorts of pumps and leaks; we took Mark Twains advice: cast off the bow lines and sailed away from safe harbor. In the back of my mind we might only make it a few miles before something broke and we were stranded. But like most fears we imagine, that did not happen. Instead we had a wonderful trip and even stopped to spend our first night on the river.

Fire, Flood, Listing, Engine Failures and other Dockside Calamities

Ok, disclaimer: it was more like a lot of smoke, but defiantly flooding, and engine problems. And the list was an easy fix. Getting her arse up enough for the tender? …we’ll have to see about that. But we got the essentials working and pointed her downstream. That’s the next video.

Sailing Rig Failure at Sea

It’s not just a keel and hull and a deck and sails. That’s what a ship needs. But what a ship is… what the Black Pearl really is… is freedom.
