Excellent sailing and video but sadly lacking common sense where was your buoyancy aid 😮

What a pleasure to see someone who really knows what they're doing, instead of all this "We just bought a boat and we don't know what we're doing" tosh that UA-cam seems determined to send me, no matter how many of them I ignore!

Hi Matt: looking mainly smooth so far, looking forward to a bit of rough!!

Nice video guys - well done. We own a GP14 - not exactly the same as your Wayfarer, but not a million miles away either :)

Did you sail along the coast to Yarmouth or Lowestoft to get to the Broads from Suffolk?

Very nicely set up, your boat. Thanks for sharing

Honestly one of the best sailing films I’ve seen. Amazing skills and music. I sail a wayfarer too. Amazing boats. Stay safe

Matt, interested in your go pro mount on the engine bracket. What are the saddles you used to secure the pole to the wood please?

So interesting to see those tidal whirlpools and hear of your spin. I hope to sail there one day and see for myself what caught Orwell out and pitched him and his son into the drink (while he was on Jura working on 1984.) many thanks - Best wishes.

Am new to sailing, so still learning, can somebody tell me what size outboard motor is being used on this yacht, I won't to gear up to be able to do some local UK coastal ingredients guys

Crazy! I am just fitting single line reefing to my wayfarer, thanks for confirming it is actually a good idea ;)

Thanks for the video. May I ask what kind of an outboard do you use? I have got a MK2 without an engine bracket. One of the previous owners fitted some phenolic sheet on top of the transom from inside and outside and clamped an engine there. Clamp marks are still visible. I am thinking of buying a 2.3 hp air cooled petrol outboard but haven't decided long/short shaft yet. I would be interested in knowing your opinion. Cheers

Great wee video Matt! You’ll need to splash out on a lovely quiet eProp. W10454

Fine sailing! Where did you get the tidy bag on your aft bulkhead? I need something like that fro my Wayfarer (3526)!

Really enjoyed watching this. We now have W1100 and previously had W8156

Totally agree with the masterclass in seamanship, made it look like you were sailing a little optimist dinghy. A very enjoyable video Mathew, thanks for sharing 👍.

Very nice Matt! Was it chilly?

Excellent vid. Thanks - Love your Wayfarer

Fantastic.... that's dedication for you, up and ready early doors.

Nice cruise.

are you going to cruise the Broads? I am fancying an easy pub cruise in my old wayfarer.

Palatial. 👌

Matt, that soft attachments of t2 blocks want break on that Selden boom eyes, they aren’t sharp to much or it’s good to use that?

Watched last summer’s solo videos which I greatly enjoyed. Even better to see two lovely varnished boats together. The wooden decks elevate a Wayfarer to much more than a floating caravan!😊

Glad I found this channel. brilliant stuff. At about 09:20 May I ask you what the little shiny clamps are, just aft of the camcleats on the centreboard case. I am looking for something that will clamp a line both ways and I am hoping they do that!!!

wonderful, thank you :)

Wind on the nose is Loch Sween - situation normal. Engine 👍

Where did you buy all your sea going waterproof clothing from especially van orange gloves they look nice and warm

So enjoyable to watch, Time stamp 17:57 setting up tests. How come no one uses ribs shaped and stored to fit the inside rails three 12 cm thick thick. Help keep flapping down and feel like more room.

that was once in a life time sail in a little boat ,to get the weather window you could try that trip over and over tenfold and take a week getting as far as jura and the weather would stop you going further on only so long you can sit it out and the food and beer runs out and you head back to start point those weather conditions only come round every 3 or 4 years and you need to pick the right time hard to drop everything when the conditions suit

Another brilliant video, Matthew! After years visiting the N Norfolk coast, invariably at mid/low tide (!), I finally saw Brancaster Harbor at a mid-summer high spring tide, with the sun setting towards the North over the sea, and was blown away by the beauty of it all. Another world. I must get my boat up there when she's finished (last plank going on as we speak).

I'm full of admiration! You really have to know what you're doing to sail safely in such tricky waters. Picking up the entrance to the Brancaster channel from the open sea is a feat in itself.

Lovely to watch, a great area to sail in. I have now watched this film several times as a try to figure out how the boat is rigged. I can't help wondering if it might be possible to create a stern tank and remove the side tanks in my Albacore to make the interior resemble your Wayfarers? Best wishes Al

Always learning with the best! Like the idea of the crocs out of the boat, also don’t like sand in to it😉

Very valuable information Thanks Matt.

A great film, very enjoyable to watch and much to learn from to. I like the simple clean way you have rigged your boats. The removal of the seats gives much extra space, but seems lacking in bouyancy. You appear to be limited to bow and stern tanks or is there some below the floor boards? Again most enjoyable. Al

Just your first comment has saved me a lot of time😊 My furling jib came with a clevis and circular pin which needs undoing with long nose pliers, why i have never thought of using a dropnose pin i do not know 😂 plus removing the anxiety of it springing off into the long grass!

Great stuff, but what's with the outbound motor 😢?

A beautiful day for a sail. We don't seem to have had many of those this year. I've sailed in Brancaster Harbour once about 5 years. Must go back there, it's such a lovely location.

How to tack single-handed. Nice.

This is a masterclass in seamanship: solo roll tacking among moored craft, weight shifting, threading a way among shifting shoals, efficient trimming of the sails … thank you! (From a former Enterprise sailing Bournemouth and Poole boy, now sailing Flying Scots at SCOW, south of DC, USA.)

Beautiful

Adept sailing, sir! Greetings from NYC!

Gran video!Gracias!

It was a cracking weekend

You got very lucky with the weather. I took my dinghy down to the Orwell at the start of August for the OGA anniversary and the weather was decidedly wet and windy. I believe Kirby Creek is the better place in the Walton Backwaters for seal watching. I understand that it's where the seal watching boat goes so perhaps the seals there are more used to boats. In any event it's a much wider bit of water so it's easier to keep a respectful distance from the seals.

Thanks for taking us along with another great video Matt and John. If you can it would be great to see more of your spinnaker setup and you flying the kite on the water. I’ve searched UA-cam and can’t find any good examples. So it was good to see a brief section here. Cheers

Fantastic filming and editing. I’m blown away by the awesomeness of the Wayfarer-handling considerable seas and variable wind conditions. Can that boat be launched from a dolly? The weather in July in Scotland reminds me of November in New England. Why was sleeping in the boat preferable to tenting on the ground? My wife and I visited our daughter at university in Glasgow this summer and were able to drive and ferry all around Mull, Islay, and Skye. I saw little sailboats from our various ferries, way out in rough seas and was impressed. Great job showing a wonderfully cool sailing adventure.
