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
Living With The Tide has a 1920 Dickies of Tarbert Gaff Ketch that’s 61-feet long. Yes, their sailboat is more than and yet, it’s still sailing strong! You can find more details about the ship on the Old Gaffers Association website.
They also have a tender that comes with a paddle. No modern outboard for these ambitious sailors!
That said, their ship does have a Volvo Penta diesel for navigating in and out of marinas, anchorages and boat yards.
Refits and equipment
They have upgraded their yacht extensively as you can tell by their YouTube and Instagram channels.
Journeys and notable episodes
Places in the story
These locations refer to earlier episodes, not a live position.
This was their last video:
If you do have more information, I’d like to know. I messaged them on Instagram but they didn’t respond.
It appears they are just doing some extensive boat restorations and will return to making YouTube videos again in the near future. Yes, they ARE still together.
It’s been a while…… actually its been longer than a while and for a long time we didn’t really have an update for you guys.
As you can imagine COVID put us in a position where we didn’t know what we were going to do. For over a year we couldn’t go to the marina to work on Morna and so she just sat there drying out. We worried about what state she would be in by the time we finally were able to get back to her. When the restrictions were finally eased we were able to move morna down to Fairlie Quay marina, ready to start the long restoration process.
Paige – early 2022
Living With The Tide were in Fairlie Quay Marina.

- UK, Ireland and Europe
- The Mediterranean
They have even done a crossing of the Atlantic with their mighty ship
Collaborations
I haven’t seen them on any other channel. They’ve very unique and one of a kind, so it’s hard to compare them with anyone else either.
Notable episodes
They have so far:
- Run aground a couple of times
- Struggled to find marinas that can handle a boat their size
- Dodged a few container ships
- Accidently anchored without realizing
Frequently asked questions
Which boat names appear in the story?
S/V Morna
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.
