Surcouf Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 Here is the video, to my knowledge this is the first time a video about Hermione does not paint an idyllic sail where "everything is beautiful". - sea sickness - almost crushed fingers - a fore-braces that gets stuck in the night with many wind - a jib difficult to bring back - Fatigue, doubt to go up to tighten the mainsail and the pains. The "real life" sailing. Away from the postcards. An eighteenth century rigging with the enormous requirement that it implies for the sailors, from the commander to the topman. https://www.tf1.fr/tf1/sept-a-huit/videos/a...l-hermione.html But it's fantastic to a live this !!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is Canadian. He helped the NA developers some time ago. Besides, it was on the forum that I knew him and we ended up aboard the l'Hermione!

Surcouf Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 (edited) After a night anchorage in Falmouth Bay in 2016, we cross the Channel to go to Saint-Malo. We just took a reef in the spritsail and a big container ship crosses us from the front. I am at the top left, I leave the spritsail to climb on the mast of bowsprit to return on the deck Edited September 29, 2018 by Surcouf 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeBoiteux Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 (edited) @Surcouf On the wonderful pics and vids you kindly posted here, the red paint used on the replica of L'Hermione looks very light (French would say 'flashy', 'clair') compared to the red ochre that can be seen on some paintings and on Boudriot's books (see spoiler). When Boudriot talks about colors of the XVIIIth century French paint schemes, he uses the French term 'terne' (dull in English ?), except, of course, for the Azure ('bleu azur') when it is used and the Naples yellow that imitates gold. (btw, you who sail her will be able to tell us if there's any difference between the reds on the pics and on the RL ship.) My question : from what you know, is the red of the replica the same color as the one on the original one ? How did the rebuilders choose this red (contemporary evidence, personal preference...) ? Was there big differences between the reds used on XVIIth century ships, depending on shipyards or whatever ? Are there contemporary paintings showing light red ? As you may know, I'm interested in this subject. Any info would be welcome.🙂 Thx for your contribution on this thread. vs Edited November 25, 2018 by LeBoiteux Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeBoiteux Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 ⬆︎ Réponse certainement dans une des monographies sur l'Hermione. ⬇︎ On peut reprendre le fil des belles photos et vidéos sur le navire. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
