Nuthin like building trails! And then using them for years and years afterwards!

What a lovely video. :)

No cats??? Sure looks peaceful.... I'm hoping to dunk the kayak in the water soon before the ice sets in. Not many chances left.

A grand outing! Lots of fun for the kittens :) And Dad!

lovely version of this classic plastic. thanks for sharing

looks like you have a sprit rig instead of a lug rig.

Awesome thanks

Have any of you shellbackers ever camped out in your shellbacks?

I love your boat ❤❤❤❤

It's Beautiful wish I could afford it 😂😂😂

That’s a terrible reef, crank it down all the way…

My wife and I are considering a Pooduck skiff for our cottage in Nova Scotia. Would love to chat about the boat and its characteristics if you’re willing!

Could you tell me what Furler you are using? I just purchased a CP19 and would like to move to a furling headsail. Thanks!

Can you recover the Shellback without assistance if you capsize?

A cold beer?

Nice little jaunt! Doesn't take much wind to move a shellback!

Shellbacks are quite bouncy when empty and heading into the wind/waves, aren't they?. Once you fill em up with gear and food they'll just plow right along without, sans bounce.

Hi I see as well as a bowsprit, you also have a boom. Most Drascombe Luggers are boomless or have I missed something? I would value your views on the boom.

That is a fine little vessel!

Some great ideas here to restore my 1969 Alberg 30! Its nice to have a beautiful example to restore mine too

Beautiful sailing 😁

`Looks great!! Whats the length of the bowsprit? Thanks!

Looks like you have some good speed on.

I love watching your voyages in Jackrabbit. Could you do your faithful followers a small favour please? I'd love to see a piece of of mylar or a bit of bright yarn hanging from your halyard or downhaul (wonvt be affected if you have to reef the sail) so we can see the wind direction. Thanks and keep on sailing.

I'd love to hear the story of how an Alberg 30 ended up in Nepean!

Thanks - this video provided a quick consultation on rigging! I was pretty sure I had the halyard set up incorrectly and this video confirmed. I also was lashing my fenders under the seats for flotation. Your method is 3x as good: flotation, fenders, and backrests! I never thought about sailing the Ottawa. Will be on Calabogie in July

If you love her why did you sell her in the first place ?

Moving along nicely on a bright sunny day, doesn't get much better than that.Took mine out for the first time on the weekend and after watching this I'm itching to get out again soon. Thanks for sharing.

Great start to navigational season 2024!

How do you attach the tiller to rudder so it can swing up without the pin comming loose building a pooduck and am having trouble with that

Looks like a good beginning.

Thank you for the video. Your fleet has a lot of boats that are on my short list. I sail a Shellback now but am considering moving to a Seapearl - based on a few assumptions. I would love your feedback: - Seapearl can sail 4 adults, Shellback 1.5? 2? - Rigging a Seapearls can be done in under 20 minutes - Coastal sailing such as your 1000 Island tour is more comfortable in a Seapearl than your Shellback Any other thoughts? My concern is years ago I moved from a West Wight Potter 14 to a Precision 18. Great boats but the Precision cut my sailing time in half due to mast raising, more complicated trailering and launching

Nice! I’m helping a friend at. It’s NSC and BYC Tuesday or Wednesday. Can you let me know where your Alberg is? Hoping to get a chance to see. Thanks

Beatiful boat ! How long it is the V cabin ?

I remember Mahseer when she belonged to John Boor. A great boat.

She does a very nice job, I am doing covers on my machine now. Top Notch is probably the material? I like it. I just bought a Compac 19, so I am doing research and your channel came up

Beautiful build, she's a credit to you, she looks pristine.

G'day Jack Rabbit, I'm looking at buying a Shellback dinghy I'm a novice sailor. Do you think it would be feasible to box in the centre thwart and centre case to add extra floatation capacity. the boat has already got floatation chambers at the bow and under the stern thwart any input much appreciated thank you.

Thank's for sharing, your wife does a great job with the sewing machine nice covers. I love the colour of your Drascombe lugger, what paint did you use and what colour is it please?

You are well spoken.

Very nice! Where did you get your plans and, what colour are the sails? For that style of boat, I like that colour better than white.

Good times.

You should be wearing life jackets when sailing regardless of location or weather conditions. An old salt

Wonder when the ice will go out on L. Deschenes? It's gonna be early this year for sure.

Phil Bolger for president! Hey, it might be an improvement.

beautiful

Looks like an awesome rig, not to tell you how to live your life but the way the forestay is connected to the stem could shear or bend that bolt. If i were you, id cut a little slot on the inside T top of the bowsprit so the forestay would be right next to the bronze stem head hardware. Happy sailin

Arrrrggghhh matey, she's moving along well!

Nice boat! What's the length overall?
