People and background
Troy Lechner
Pascale Kate Angliss
(Yes, almost 10 years in age between the two!)
They consider themselves to be mostly pescatarian, enjoying a seafood + vegetarian diet as there is limited space for meat preservation on their yacht.
Boats and projects
The boats below are part of the channel’s earlier story; ownership and equipment may have changed since those episodes.
Boat details
Free Range Sailing’s yacht “Mirrool” is a Clansman 30 GRP Sloop made in 1969, from Gosford on the Central Coast of Australia. The ’30’ refers to the length of the yacht being 30 feet, while it only has a beam of around 6 feet and draft of 2 feet.
Refits and equipment
Troy has lived on Mirrool since 2015 and Pascale joined in 2018, and together, they have added:
- New Rocna 22lb and Mantus 35lb anchors
- Yanmar 2GM20 diesel motor
- Katadyn PowerSurvivor Watermaker
- New hard dodger (Troy built this himself actually)
- Installing new rigging and overhaul during COVID movement restrictions
Interestingly, Troy has kept the original sail plan.
Journeys and notable episodes
Places in the story
These locations refer to earlier episodes, not a live position.
Free Range Sailing is in Perth, Western Australia.
They are sometimes weeks behind on their video production, presumably due to WIFI signal issues.
They have recently moved towards land-life:
Earlier sailing journeys
Troy and Pascale have sailed Mirrool around Australia. However, they haven’t been overseas as yet since their old yacht wasn’t a true bluewater cruiser.
Collaborations
Unlike many other YouTubers who meet up with each other, Troy and Pascale have mostly kept to themselves with no other collaborations apart from family guests in episode 79.
We are certainly looking forward to seeing them meet up with Sailing La Vagabonde and Sailing Ruby Rose in the near future, given that both channels are very aligned with Free Range Sailing.
Notable episodes
Troy and Pascale have had some interesting moments in sailing:
- Getting a hole in their boat in Episode 54
- Becoming stuck in 50-knot winds
- Installing an entirely new rigging system
- Painting their sailboat by hand
There hasn’t been as much drama on their YouTube channel when compared to several others, but they do have some click-baitey titles.
Frequently asked questions
Which boat names appear in the story?
S/V Mirrool
Is there a verified net-worth figure?
No verified financial disclosure is cited in this profile. The earlier estimate has been removed because a boat’s value, video views and assumed income do not establish someone’s net worth.
