Woody on the Water
United Kingdom
Приєднався 25 січ 2018
We are dinghy sailors who enjoy mostly leisure sailing (Dinghy Cruising) on our home waters in Essex.
The Nickname "Woody" came from the name of an early wooden GP14 "Woodstock" I used to own just as the channel started up and it just kind of stuck. We now sail on a few different types of dinghy. Why not join us on some of our adventures ?
I hope you enjoy the channel.

At 5:08…it takes off as you'd expect for a Laser…
It is beautiful
Nice video Woody
Thankyou Paul, don’t forget you are always welcome to join us on the Crouch - Woodstockonthewater@gmail.com
Loved watching this. Thanks for producing it. Would love to come over and sail some of these waters with you guys.
Hi Steve, Thankyou I’m glad you enjoyed it. You’d be very welcome. ⛵️
I enjoyed that. You had a good pace up when you were going down hill on the way home. One tip that I'd give you is that when you're sailing a dinghy through a number of big boats on moorings, be sure to say things like "That must be costing them a fortune, to keep there", and "That one needs a lot of work", and "It doesn't look like he get's out on her, much", and "It must be a right mongrel having to row the tender out all that way to go for a sail". I don't know why, but it just enhances the small boat experience so much.
Thank you David, I’m glad you enjoyed the film and took the time to comment yes we did have a good pace on the run home. I like your tips, small boating is a lot of fun.
@@WoodyOTW I'm just envious. I live 75 miles from the closest navigable water, in Australia. Grew up on both dinghies and big boats and miss it sorely.
100% right. Me and my one crew has a fantastic day sailing in Baltimore harbour, Ireland in my dinghy. At 7.00 pm tied to a .visitor mooring we bummed a lift ashore from an obliging couple in the rib tender of a 60ft champagne palace moored next to us. Two salt stained sea dogs shared a small space with two immaculately dressed denizens of high society for couple of minutes. What was their fun that day, I often wondered afterwards?
That looked like a very good sail. 👍⛵️😊
Thank you Ian, glad you enjoyed it.
going some good film
Nice sail and bbq. 👍🍺⛵️
Thanks for this video. I have done this in a motorboat a decade ago, but I do have a few questions as I'm considering taking my bilge keeler through.
Having just got a wayfarer, I long to get on waters like this, especially in lincs....there are none. Is this trip only possible when the tide is in? how do you plan for launching and reaching the slipways etc?
Hi Steve. Yes this trip is only potehen the tide is in so some planning is required. I’m s member of a couple of clubs where we have access to the water. Enjoy sailing your Wayfarer and thanks for taking the time to comment.
Love watching this video. But going to stick my neck out and say your mast is not tight enough? When you are travelling out to sea, the mast can be seen rocking back and forth, you can also hear it. You need more tension in the Jib Halyard.?
Great tip Steve, glad you enjoy the video and thank you for taking the time to comment. Fair Winds. Woody.
Saw that too half way in.
I'm glad you guys seem to had a great time! Sailing is fun and I did it solo with a catamaran once off the northwest coast of Florida on the Gulf of Mexico. Usually, the seas are much calmer compared to the eastern coast, which is the Atlantic ocean. I felt pretty accomplished when I did it. I was impressed by the speed of that safety boat. I'll watch your channel again.
The Blue rowing skiff that comes into the slipway at 22:38 is mine! My son & his girlfriend were out rowing that day. She is a Cosine wherry stretched to 17ft.
Oh wow thats amazing, thankyou for taking time to comment and let me know. She’s a lovely craft and moving at a great pace, hope to see you on the water again .
That looked like a great day-sail. Thanks for taking us along with you. Keep em coming 🙂👍.
Thankyou Chris 👍🏻
Hi Woody, great sail, did you need prior permission to land at Paglesham ? Thanks
Looked a good day out, what was wind speed during the sail?
Great sail, great company wonderful day. Cheers Paul ⛵️⛵️
Thanks Clive, it was a great day 🙂
Good video, nice to see Dave out with you again.
Thankyou John
Great video Paul, good days sail again. Thanks
Great video
Thanks for watching James, glad you enjoyed it.
Gotta love a dart 16
Fine sailing, great evening ^^
Thankyou for watching🙂
Thanks Paul, good video. ⛵️⛵️👍
I can't think of a better way to spend a Wednesday evening. Thanks for sharing.
Hope you enjoyed the film, thanks for watching. Woody
Your Wayfarer main sail is rigged differently than mine. I have a 1974 MkIII here in the US. My main sheet and vang are quite different, yours looks easier to manage. I have have the main sheet cleated at the thwart. I like your set up better.
Great to join you while doing he washing up. Thanks!
Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed the film.
Thanks for taking the time to make the vid. How long were you actually on the water for? Did the tide interfere with progress much? Cheers.
Hi Phil, I reckon we were out for approximately four hours all told, the tide did not really impede us as there was plenty of wind to push us along. Thankyou for watching.
Nicely put together video i need a few editing tips i think , I had a great sail there last year too.
Thanks Paul, it was after watching videos of people sailing there (including your own) that made us want to sail there so thanks for the inspiration - I'd be interested to know where you launched from. If you come to our home waters either the Crouch or the Thames Estuary again please let us know it would be great to catch you guys on the water.
@@WoodyOTW I sail at HCYC which is in land so love getting on the sea. I missed a trip which sailed from Creekside in June which was a shame as they all had another great sail if we get that way again I get in touch
Another great video, thanks Woody
An efficient reefing system is needed
Thankyou Sean
Were there any trade stalls there? I couldn't see any
Met Paul a few times, good guy
Woody I am a wayfarer sailer and along with my wife and young daughter we are keen to join a good social coal club. Do you agree All Hallows YC would be the boy?
Wonderful Royal Burnham Yacht Club, when i was a child my fathers boat sheered a skin fitting, in those days we only had hand bilge pumps. My father radio'd for help soon a launch came out from there pulling up along side my father wanted a tow to beach the boat, the guy in the launch agreed. The next thing he asked if my father was a member of the Royal Burnham, so my father said no he wasnt, the guy then apologized saying he couldnt help us as we were not members then left. My father soon managed to get a bung through the hole stemming the leak to almost nothing. The engine had been immersed in sea water so we limped back under sail to our mooring at North Fambridge. I find the crouch nice but not at weekends, the huge amount of day sailing makes it not inviting for cruisers
My goodness that's awful for them to refuse help like that Tracey.
@@WoodyOTW yes that was, i was only approx 6 may be 7, i remember the guy in the launch , mind you in some ways nothing has ever changed, there are few that will ever go to the aid of another contrary to Maritime Law that allows them on the water in the first place. Royal Burnham Yacht Club or what ever it is called should never have been allowed to exist thereafter
Thank you for taking us with you across tge Thames estuary. I'm originally from Rainham (Medway) so the trip across the estuary was, for me, reminiscent of my sails from Otterham Quay to the Stoke area. No welcome for us on the Isle of Grain as it's just a large container port, but great sailing all the same. Cheers.
Great video Woody. I'm not that much of a sailor but I always thought we were supposed to sheet in before jybing? Suppose with 4 onboard she would be more stable and it proved so. That curry looked great.
Very nice video and trip! 👍 Your main is always flapping was the wind to strong? Wayfarer is such a good boat! My favorite for future. Fair winds 🍀
Hi Captain, I'll watch the video and she what's happening here, we often find ourselves sailing high to wind and this may be the cause.
Wonderful video! No topping lift on the wayfarer? My CL ( Canadian copy) has one, or maybe I’ve got it rigged wrong?
Great video. All the water coming out at the end - was that from the open bilge, or from within enclosed areas like buoyancy tanks? Taken onboard from spray etc, or due to leaks? Quite curious, thanks!
Brilliant video guys. Not an expensive boat you can have fantastic fun at a sailing club.
Sometimes nature just won't cooperate. Enjoyed the trip.
Hi, what yatch were you on? Did I hear you say it was a 24knt wind? If so was the mainsail reefed, or can a yatch like that just take it on the chin!?
Hi Lee, she was a Beneteau 325, I believe she's pretty stable in that kind of wind, but TBH dinghies are what I sail in most of the time. Thanks for watching. Woody
Nice video, do many people sail to maldon from Fambridge? Power or sail?
Hi David, Fambridge to Maldon is a long sail, I'm unsure how long it would take in a dinghy.
Good video. I don't know why nobody makes dingy cruising videos in my local waters (Vancouver BC). Maybe a dumb question, but can you say a bit more about why you towed in? Just didn't have time and space to beat into the creek? Did you run out of beer? 🙃
Enjoyed the cruise, nice bit of drama and a nice lot of sailing.
Thank you for watching Dale, glad you enjoyed it and it's nice of you to take the time to comment. Woody.
Hey fellas, I'm thinking of getting a wayfarer for a bit of solo cruising and to take my 16 year old on some adventures, what are they like out and about?
They are great stable boats Dave - highly recimmended
@@WoodyOTW thanks
Perhaps the cone was there to warn of the rock? Just saying...😁
agreed - cant think of another reason - you wouldnt want to settle on it as the tide went out.....
I think you are right, I realised that after I removed it lol - I shifted the rock under the slipway so it's not a danger..
