@@sailormanoyster1849 we were too late for the bridge to get into town, so ended up outside the supermarket before the bridge. Would definitely have tried De Werf if we could

I was single handed some of the time and several others were single handed for the whole trip. Quite do-able.

@@westerlysailing6 just get prepared for lock's. Better to let others go first & tie up to the wall then "raft up to them they then tend shore lines as the water level changes

Sure is. Gorgeous!

@erbster200 yes % an ingenious propulsion system1

Hydraulictwinshaft with folding props😅

I didn’t know that!

@@erbster200 I have been o/b

@@rdembow I’d have to agree with that!

@@stanleybest8833 thank you

The gouda rail bruges h opens twice in 2 hrs. My air draft was16.1ms only option was get the timing correct😅

@@sailormanoyster1849 prior planning and preparation prevents poor performance

Twice in 24 has,previous was a typo

@@SailingMarieholmIF many thanks!

@@alexanderbchoek9607 glad you enjoyed the video!

@@alexanderbchoek9607 glad you liked it

I’m glad you enjoy them! We had a fabulous summer.

@@sambarjack mines a Crewsaver air deck 2.7m. It would be pretty heavy to fly with.

Thanks for the comments. It was more stressful when I was solo! I was lucky - it was a rally and we were given a lot of guidance. There is a good Imray guide and I also found a Dutch book called “ANWB wateratlas Staande Mastroute” (all in Dutch but a really great resource). There’s also an app called Water Map Live, which is not free but is excellent. I’m working on a video summarising my experiences and advice on the Standing Mast Route. It will be out in a few weeks.

@erbster200 Oh that sounds very useful, thank you.

Glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks for your comments. Yes, the clubhouse at Wijnhaven was very welcome (especially the wifi!). I'm sure I will make this trip again some time and, when I do, I would like to travel North in the IJsselmeer to the Frisians.

@@erbster200 : If you`ll ever going northwards with your vessel give MAKKUM a visit - it´s a nice little town and surely one of the best harbours at the entire Ijsselmeer....(Marina Makkum)...!

@@sailormanoyster1849 there were a few bridge outages we had to take account of on our trip. Overall a great place to take our boat

@erbster200 wr passed through alp en r few days before the road bridge deck fell into the river taking the crane with it, plenty on youtube

@@sailormanoyster1849 yikes, I bet that caused some chaos! Our local hosts really helped us with knowing which bridges were out and when.

@@johnmilner0859 thank you

@@linusadventuresandtravels thanks for commenting. I glad you enjoyed the film - we thoroughly enjoyed our month in the Netherlands. I’d like to come back and spend more time on the IJsselmeer and North. We’ve lots of new friends to come back to visit.

@@police-qm8ig thanks for commenting and I am glad you enjoyed the films. If you’d love to have a boat, maybe a trailer sailer would fit your budget. We had one previously and there are loads of day sailing adventures to be had. Look up the dinghy cruising club or @RogerRoving YT channel.

@@franciscotter7079 thanks. The appointment was in Wolverhampton

@@Ben-je9id it’s all down to the helming!

@@kc539 hard to predict when the busy times are. This was about 11.30am on a Friday. I had not expected it to be busy at that time

@@TheSaljb perhaps. But perhaps something could be done to improve the situation?

@@bren8168 I didn’t allow an hour to get out of the car park

@erbster200 sucks to be you, if there is a que to get out and the road outside is busy, it takes longer to get out. 🤷🏼‍♂️ Also if you reverse bay park, it will be easier to get out of the bay when it's busy like that.

@erbster200 use a different car park next time. 🤷🏼‍♂️ Busy road, busy exit, busy car park. Can't blame the council for other people doing what you're also doing. Reversing into a bay will make getting out with traffic like this a lot easier.

What does it sum up?

@@philipbush9666 I never expected the world to be fair but it caused me a lot of stress as I needed to get my wife to her appointment

@@Sergeymurano I’m afraid I don’t know what type that one is

@@Sergeymurano however, I did some research and I think it’s a sou’wester 18 built in the late 1980’s

@@matt281075 glad you found it interesting!

@@paulharriman1901 thanks Paul. Glad to hear it. I bought a box of them from screwfix. A better solution than my dodgy soldering.

@@sv_skidbladnir I got them in screwfix (UK chain) - I got a box of them: dead useful!

@@meep599 Molly is a Cornish Crabber 26, sail number 33 built 2015

@erbster200 is that MK III or V

@@meep599 I think you are confusing my Crabber 26 with the Crabber 24. There has only been one design of the CC26. The mark V CC24 looks somewhat similar to the CC26 having a similar cockpit but smaller cabin accommodation

@@erbster200 oh i see, yes I was curious as the different iterations of the 24 can vary a lot but the 26 looks solid

@ the mkV 24 is quite a different boat to the earlier versions. Elements of that hull were copied onto the CC26. We love Molly; I have sailed her in some quite challenging conditions and she is a very confidence-inspiring boat!

Thanks for watching and I’m glad you enjoyed it! Yes, the shipping is pretty close, so one has to keep a sharp look out (especially behind!). I fitted an AIS transducer for this trip; previously I had a receiver so I could see commercial vessels but I wanted to be sure they could see me too.

@@johnmilner0859 thank you. Lots more to come…

@@MatthewFelgate-r4u thank you

@@squiddly-diddly it’s not really needed on a gaffer. The wooden boom is very stiff, so a vang (kicking strap) has no effect on boom shape. The main sheet pulls the boom down sufficiently on its own. When the wind is strong (but not so strong as to need a reef), because the main is large, it is helpful to let the boom lift a bit and dump a little power.

@@raybede thank you

@@MatthewFelgate-r4u glad you like it! That was the first time I used the drone in that trip - more footage to come…

@@omewillempie I’m glad to have visited your cruising ground. Lots more vids to come. Thanks for watching!

@@torisaengilbert8400 Glad you are enjoying the videos. We visited Veere on our return trip and indeed it was beautiful. It’s not possible to see all the wonderful places in a single trip (even though I was more than a month in the Netherlands).

Nice clubhuis on oranjeplatts🎉
