I'm a gentleman! Now will you two stop finding all the boats that I want? Absolutely stunning craft, the builder deserves the boat version of the Archibald prize.

This is beyond my imagination. It’s incredibly beautiful.

Gorgeous build.

No way this beauty has been hiding unsailed😮!!!! What a find…. Craftsmanship looks absolutely outstanding. Man I‘m envious - congratulations to you both for becoming her new caretakers 🥂

What a beauty. You can hear the excitement in your voice. That’s falling in love, that is! You can’t stop giggling. Superb!

The smile on your faces tells the whole story!

What a beautiful boat. Top-notch build and fit-out. Very jelly.

That’s a superb little video about a superb little boat. Thanks Mat.

The birdseye covers are beautiful!!

She’s a true gem!👌

the verture at the dock is BEAUFITUL!

Absolutely beautiful! Enjoy!

Oh my… what a boat!

Oh man….. what a beautiful boat, what a beautiful place…. 😢😉😀👍🏽

Very nice! A proper little yacht! Enjoy! ⛵️

A few years back I saw a trailered Pathfinder parked at the grocery store on its way back from sailing Lake Champlain. Before I recognized it and admired it to the builder my impression was "What a beautiful and strongly built boat!" The luck god smiled on you that day.

A very nice intro Mat she definitely is a stunning example of a cabin top Pathfinder, nicley fitted out as well. Enjoy guys.

Congrats with that gorgeous pathfinder.

Yet another lovely boat that needs sailed every weekend!!!

Nice video. My Pathfinder with cabin is a gaff rigged sloop. Delightful boat!

Think you struck lucky when you found this one - the work of a craftsman :-)

That’s a corker of a wee boat. Makes me miss Tasmania and it’s awesome wee boats.

Just found your channel. Great video mate and what a lovely boat. Also Jelly!

Beyond stunning!!

I built one of the first cabin Pathfinders anywhere, definitely the first in NZ, and thought I'd done a nice job, but wow, this is next level! You'll be amazed at what these will cope with on jib and mizzen - it is such a versatile rig when the weather gets a bit feral. If you're planning on overnighting in cooler weather, I'd highly recommend installing a vent of some sort at the front of the cabin, or you'll be mopping up condensation from every surface. And also rigging the anchor so it can be stowed and deployed from the cockpit. I say that, having nearly gone ass over quoit on a couple of occasions, going forward on wet decks. Enjoy.

Simply lovely.

I bought one of those bronze roller furling units for my schooner. Used for the foremost jib. Worked well!

What a beauty! Im not a gentleman, but im hoping i will still like my pathfinder once i get her in the water😂

My Tartan 34C had an icebox with access from the cockpit - great place for sailing refreshments while under sail - no need to go below!

A work of art ,, have watched this 3 times so far...

Beautiful boat it looks so new! Happy Sailing!

Sounds like you've got the wifes' approval.... Thats always important! Doug, FNQ.

Happy for you!

What a beautiful boat, you lucky b………

Stunning!

Great find something the ordinary like myself dream about, well done . Incase you didn't get it, I love❤❤❤ it.🤨

Great boat!

Hi there - I recall seeing your beautiful Pathfinder at the AWBF in 2013 - it was very eye-catching (I have a photo). My recollection was it was built by a Doctor/Surgeon and your good fortune is that he was all about building them. I have myself a Navigator which I built in 2006. Enjoy - a wonderful testament to the amateur boat builder.

great boat

What a beaty ❤❤❤

Damn: Huon pine? Sweet

Great video! Looks like a real stunner. John’s boats are just so well thought out. Where did the builder come by the port glasses in such a small size? I have a small cabin on our cat ketch. She need a front port hatch, as it gets pretty toasty on a warm day.

Beautiful boat. Will she self right? You mentioned there may have had more ballast onboard than standard.

Love your eposides, and you know how to find a bargin don't you. I will be after a trailer boat after i sell my big boat. May have to let you know as you have a lot of contacts. Why do you like those rigs, what are the advantages, and disadvantages ?. They are pretty though. How many boats do you have now ?

Amazing boat. A bit crazy as I have never sailed but I am currently building a pathfinder with cabin. This is great inspiration, any chance I could ask for some pictures of the boat?

A real beauty! That “aftsprit” is new for me. What’s it called? I cannot seem to find any other references for it online.

Thanks

Where you out yesterday (Sunday 17th)? If so I was one of the boats out there and we thought we saw this boat floating around and we where impressed by its beauty. If it wasnt you then theres another beauty out there :)

Will you let US see the boat……..

"Wanna have a look?" .........F##k yeah

Do guys still have the blue navigator?😊

Wow, was that walnut on the hatch covers?beautfil

Too much mug, not enough boat.. 😂

How much?
