Tartan 30 Sailboat Refit (with Sailing Quotes)

#sailingvibes #liveaboard This video shows footage from the year I lived aboard a 1974 Tartan 30 Sailboat. The footage features sailing, refit work, time-lapse scenes and various sailing quotes (because why not). Quotes from the Video (some slightly adapted for the flow/prose of the video): “Twenty years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” ~ Mark Twain And so… “I must go down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky, and all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by." ~ John Masefield "It’s out there at sea that you are really yourself." ~ Vito Dumas "The sea finds out everything you did wrong." ~ Francis Stokes This is because… "The ocean is more ancient than the mountains, and freighted with the memories and the dreams of time." ~ H.P. Lovecraft Indeed, "There is but a plank between a sailor and eternity." ~ Thomas Gibbons "A sailor is an artist whose medium is the wind." ~ Webb Chiles Or as Joseph Conrad once said… "There is nothing more enticing, disenchanting, and enslaving than the life at sea." ~ Joseph Conrad So "To young men and women contemplating a voyage, I would say go." ~ Joshua Slocum "At sea, I learned how little a person needs, not how much." ~ Robin Lee Graham If you are young in either age or spirit, and the ocean is calling, this too you can learn. "The sea, once it casts its spell, holds one in its net of wonder forever." ~ Jacques Cousteau For "The ocean is an object of no small terror." ~ Edmund Burke And "Sailing teaches alertness and courage, and gives in return a joyousness and peace that but few sports afford." ~ George Matthew Adams "Sailing a boat calls for quick action, a blending of feeling with the wind and water as well as with the very heart and soul of the boat itself." ~ George Matthew Adams "Sailing is the closest I can get to nature – it's adrenaline, fear, a constant challenge, and learning experience." Daria Werbowy For most sailors, “It isn’t that life ashore is distasteful... But that life at sea is better." ~ Sir Francis Drake Music Credit: Music by Musictown https://pixabay.com/users/musictown-25873992/?utm_source=link-attribution&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=music&utm_content=99533 From Pixabay https://pixabay.com/music//?utm_source=link-attribution&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=music&utm_content=99533 PIXABAY LICENSE CERTIFICATE ============================================== This document confirms the download of an audio file pursuant to the Content License as defined in the Pixabay Terms of Service available at https://pixabay.com/service/terms/ Licensor's Username: https://pixabay.com/users/musictown-25873992/ Licensee: zmanning Audio File Title: Irish Jig Audio File URL: https://pixabay.com/music/ireland-irish-jig-99533/ Audio File ID: 99533 Date of download: 2025-12-07 22:37:08 UTC Pixabay, a Canva Germany GmbH brand Pappelallee 78/79 10437 Berlin Germany Pixabay is a user-contributed stock content website.
