Here, here!! Many years ago (1966-1970) I lived aboard a Danish Double ender….ALL wood…26’…Marina Del Rey ….basic compass, VHF, charts….love/ hate…I have NOT owned a bigger or all wood boat since!!…they have all been smaller, glass over wood, or plastic!!!…I’m now 80 yo and down to a couple of kayaks + an old “Project P14” (1966)…needs lots of TLC like me… No stink’n electronics!!…just lapping waters & a breeze.

I once followed all three of these YouTube content creators regularly, but I have lost interest in the first two, as they discover that their ultra-expensive new boats have not brought them the joy they were looking for. Arabella's recent struggles have been hard to watch too. If you are looking for great storytelling by a sailing couple who's a bit more down to earth, and has never had a commercial sponsor, I would enthusiastically recommend Sailing Magic Carpet. Their Cape George 36 may not qualify as a "small craft", but they truly appreciate the small things in life.
