@@DWilks-fo1ze That would be very helpful here, I’m not sure we’re that far forward with FODMAP options. Thanks for watching 🤓

Hi, If I remember correctly about 15 to 20 mph winds for the B rig.

Glad you like them, thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. 😊

@@duncan18663 hi, no, the mainsail was out too. Thanks for watching 🤓

@@gregduveau Je suis content que vous l'aimiez, merci de l'avoir regardé

@@christeague7596 Thank you, yes, Poole is a great and beautiful place to sail.

Hi. The water can get in in a few likely places. The deck eyes if not glued in, the deck hatch if not taped properly, the rudder gaiter or the rear bung. If all of those are good then the next likely place is around the keel box, they are prone to cracking there, especially if the keel has been strained or knocked.

@@salvatorealessandrino945 Hi I use batteries from RC Yachts website www.radiosailing.co.uk/vapex-life-balanced--batterycharger-system-197-c.asp

@@jameskemp6439 Sounds great, it can become quite addictive. Thanks for watching. I will now go and research a “half decker”. 🤓

Hi, thanks for watching, this is the dyneema , although a different colour. SeaKnight Monster S9 9 Strands... www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B087LYCHWJ?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

You’re very welcome 😊

Yes, just storm Nigel doing storm Nigel things!

Thanks very much :)

That is a good idea :)

You're welcome :) Thanks for watching

Thank you for watching, I’m glad you like the content 🤓 This was my first time sailing on Coniston, although I’d been there many times before. My second favourite of the lakes.

You're welcome :) Thanks for watching

That's a good question, and one that is being addressed nationally (and slowly) right now. There is a distinct lack of information regarding this currently. The RYA had dinghy trails but they are being re-vamped so not available online currently. 'Free' is the difficult bit in this country (UK), but there are still some reasonably priced locations you can park your car and trailer while you go off for a day's sail. "The Good Launch Guide" by Geoffrey Campbell is a 20 year old book but is a good starting point even if most of the information is out of date. Then there's the DCA's Facebook page (Dinghy Cruising Association) - This is probably the best resource because its members cover the entire country and the information they will give is current and relevant. The other thing you can try is to contact sailing clubs that are at the coastal venue where you want to sail and ask if a temporary day membership is a possibility. Joining the DCA is beneficial too and if you are in travelling distance from the South Coast then you can't go wrong by joining the Cody Sailing Club either.

@@sailingskismo Thanks for the information. I am in the North East (Yorkshire) and there only seems to be reservoir clubs (almost like golf clubs if you catch my drift) , which is not very interesting.

Hi and thanks for watching, much appreciated. I’m glad the video was helpful. The trailer requirements is a great suggestion, one I hadn’t thought of. I shall add it to my list.

Thanks, I love my boat too! 🤓 I’m based in the SW of the UK

@@SmallSailboatCruising Thank you Chris, thanks for watching and I hope you enjoy some of the other content. :)

Ha!, probably best if I just send a link to one 😊 amzn.eu/d/cV3rlLb

​@@sailingskismo ooh er! Thanks. I use my rugged hard rubber bucket for that! I don't suppose chucking anything over board is really acceptable in fresh water conditions!

Thanks! :) - And it has proved to be very successful, I've used it lots of times now. Thanks for watching.

Hi, thank you, yes, it gets a lot of use. The dimension of the box is W400xD250xH325mm The lid is slightly larger with dimensions of W420XD270

Thanx for that,,just made one😊

Thanks for watching :) I also have a wooden GP14 which sometimes ago I had to take the centreboard casing out to deal with rot at the bottom. I’ve been dragging my feet with that task for about 10 years!

Thank you very much, I’m glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching:)

I very well may end up doing that with the one where I used a bolt. With the other holes I tested for 'grip' with new stainless screws beforehand so I knew I could get a good purchase when I screwed the keel band back on. :)

Good question and you will get many answers! The obvious observation is that if they are too short they will not function properly. If they are too long you will have harder 'purchase' on the water and they will take up more space both inside and outside the boat. Mine are just shy of 8 foot long and performance wise I would like them to be 8 foot. However, they do function well but they also fit nicely inside the boat without being 'in the way'. If they were any longer they would be 'in the way' for me and my set up. I use them also to skull and for that I wish they were 6 inch longer. So, in a wafflleish way of answering (or not) your question, approximately 8 foot, but then a bit shorter or a bit longer would also work. The longer they are the harder they will be to pull through the water though because the fulcrum will always be in the same place. The amount of oar inside the boat (from the rowlocks to just short of centreline) will always be the same (because thats where your hands will be! )

Thanks for watching :)

@@gregduveau Bonjour! You’re very welcome, glad you found it useful 🤓

It is a great place to sail. Personally, I think Ullswater is the best lake in the district, but they're all beautiful really. This trip was late October and it was shorts and T-shirt weather.

You will love it, hope the weather is kind to you. Falmouth week has such a great atmosphere, thanks for watching

@sailingskismo I know I have been lots of times, it's better when the tall ships are thier too though

@@georgecull920 Thanks for watching 👍 where would you launch from to sail on Loch Ness?

@@mikeu5380 lol good to know, I hadn’t really had dance in mind when I penned that one! 😂 People need to know about dinghy insurance, there’s loads out there that are not insured properly!

@@jameswrethman5375 Thank you, very kind words and I’m glad they are useful. The Wanderer is a very similar boat so there is relevance. Enjoy your sailing and thanks for watching, much appreciated.
