18 Raid Sydney boats enjoy the winter solstice Raid on lake Macquarie and an Oz Goose Christening. #woodenboatsarebetter ,#dinghycruising ,#sailing ,#sailingdinghy
I live boating in tge rain interestingly enough I find it quite relaxing. Now granted at 81 my sailing days are over but I do have a very comfortable 21 ft power cuddy cabin and after 20 years of ownership I finally have it just about the I want it That said you and I both know we're never content with the way things are always looking to change or improve something even if it's only in our own minds eye. Cheers Paul thanks as always for another greatcraid always makes my daycwhen I wake up and see one of your posts.
Congratulations to John on the magnificent Oz Goose he built. It looks amazing. I like the tasteful way he "dirtied up" the name decal! I have a Michael Storer boat (Oz Racer) and always enjoy seeing them featured.
Hi yes, I think we now have 3 in the group though they don't all come on the same day. The Botterills go really well in stronger winds and you can still get a good buy, just keep looking, cheers Paul
Perfect amount of boat yarns, gadgets, Sailing shots, B-roll and food talk. Great video as usual Paul, thank you for sharing. Oh yes, shiny and dials… that’s sounds about right.
@@SailingKateLouise Thoroughly enjoyed it. A couple of those boys were pretty funny, gave me a good laugh. The guy that built his boat from scrap? That thing looked fast. If he was a bit lighter I think it might get up on the plane like a racing dinghy.
Ocean racers used to say it was like tearing up $100 notes under a cold shower. You guys seem to be having much more fun - particularly tge guy in the Ozgoose! Great video and a great fleet of characters.
Yes you don't need a big boat or even a shiny boat to have fun on the water and it's the company that makes these outings such fun. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment , cheers Paul
Your laughter is infectious! Even realizing that there's a lot of time edited out, it still appears that your group takes things in stride. Thank you for taking us along. I recently purchased a Peep Hen - 14' of potential. Hopefully I can fall in with a group of blind optimists as well, in the Chesapeake Bay, USA. Fair winds!
Hi Ames please send me a photo of your boat. I have seen many videos of sailing Chesapeake Bay so I'm sure you will find a group of enthusiastic sailors and thanks for leaving a comment, cheers Paul
If it's not the Tasmanian dinghy mob teasing us Mexicans, it's you lot up there. I'm at a thousand feet in Central Victoria. On the winter solstice we had an overnight low of minus something and a frost you could ski on. It's 8 degrees outside, at the moment, 95% humidity and showers. Watching you guys really makes me think that I took a wrong turn somewhere in life. Especially the closing shot of you sailing in clear blue skies. Thanks for the content, again.
Thanks for taking us along Paul. I love that you can pull together 20 boats for an event like that! Great fun to watch as I'm planning for another wilderness adventure with my daughter the end of the week.
Hi Tim yesore seem to be joining the group. But I also love going off alone on solo adventures. Thanks again for watching and leaving a comment , cheers Paul
I can't wait to go dinghy cruising - still looking for something suitable. I live in Port Macquarie and toyed with the idea of building something in the gaff cuddy cabin style. However I have no experience and perhaps need a little more patience. Thank you for these informative videos. I think I would enjoy the social side as much as the sailing. Lee Ho!
@@SailingKateLouise Thanks so much Paul for your suggestions - The search continues. Noticed a Cornish Crabber 19 footer for sale in Port Macquarie on a trailer.....however at $65 K it s a bit out of my price range.
The paraffin vapours given off by the tea light can spontaneously ignite at 200c in an enclosed space...beware. It's a shame as mine looks good, cheers Paul
Thoroughly enjoy your videos and channel. The sound, videography and editing are excellent. You are either a very gifted amateur or have worked in the industry professionally. You have rekindled my desire to return to 'messing about in boats'. Thank you again and if you run into that tall Canadian Mark in his Farrier Tri on another raid say hello from me😊
Thanks for the compliments Ian, yes I worked as an editor all my life and I'll say hello to Mark for you next time I see him. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment, cheers Paul
Next time your in the area give me a holler and go out for a spin. Reminisce about HCW exploits and the importance of clear instructions on Portapottie use LOL
Another great SLK cruise! Not to be pushy-geeky, but at 15:22, it's pronounced "fa", according to my Vietnamese relatives, despite the mis-anglicized spelling. Not that it would interfere at all with your fine sailing skills... Cheers, and thank you!
Thanks John. We are lucky that it's only really cold for a month or so and if you are out of the wind it's not too bad. Thanks for watching, cheers Paul
@@SailingKateLouise A bit different to Winter in Blighty! Great vids. Keep em coming! I've been swapping a rig over on my new vessel and hope to be under way soon.
hi Paul, currently i am still a tinny boater, however am keen on dinghy sailing . how does one find out when you go on a raid, as i'd love to join you, albeit with a 2 stroke tinny, so that i can pick everyones brains to help me make the transition. cheers, frank from sydney
Hi Frank just go to Raid Sydney camping and rowing in small boats on Facebook look under the events Tab and if there is one coming up it will be there, cheers Paul
Perhaps someone should have told them not to use a plastic flower pot, Perhaps. I have used a flower pot heater for many years, firstly in my old gaff cutter, then on my trimaran without any problems.
Ah yes, I was working away in the nice dry boatshed hearing the rain beating down on the tin roof and thinking of you poor wet souls out there enjoying the weather.
I think that Batemans Bay/Clyde River could be worth consideration. There are a couple of private and National Park camping places along the Clyde and great sailing on Batemans Bay in the right conditions.
I had it in and Ric was very funny wearing his life jacket but then I thought you are not meant to have fires on Pulbah so I took it out. Last time people commented with " I hope you are not having a fire on Pulbah".....
Another great one Paul. For those who are not familiar with Teo, the Portuguese builder that Paul mentioned, here is his maiden voyage in his Ozgoose. ua-cam.com/video/oh9ekSvhskM/v-deo.html gary in Japan
Perhaps the sailing genre not for you John. Plenty of other channels for men that pay attention to other mens eyebrows though, maybe you'll pick up some tips on how to apply eyeliner as well on those channels ..
Absolutely love it! So lovely to see a bright boat. And what an amazing area to sail.
Thanks Holly I hope to get up your way soon, cheers Paul

Thanks Dave glad to make your day, cheers Paul
Another great video, Paul!! Some pretty good laughs in this one, too. “Last One II” is such a great boat name. I love it.
Glad you enjoyed it Mark and thanks for watching, cheers Paul

Got to love seeing a Botterill Explorer 16 on the water 😎
Hi yes, I think we now have 3 in the group though they don't all come on the same day. The Botterills go really well in stronger winds and you can still get a good buy, just keep looking, cheers Paul
Another great expression of the Sydney Raid Group! You have a bunch of characters that make for great viewing. Thanks for sharing!!
My pleasure Capt....we are all comedians at heart, cheers Paul
Encore une sortie très passionnante et pleine de rebondissements.
Merci encore Rémy et merci d'avoir pris le temps de laisser un commentaire, bravo Paul
Perfect amount of boat yarns, gadgets, Sailing shots, B-roll and food talk. Great video as usual Paul, thank you for sharing. Oh yes, shiny and dials… that’s sounds about right.
Hi John yes made good coffee. Thanks again for watching, cheers Paul
These old boys are having more fun than people on their super multimillion dollar super yachts
You are absolutely right....you don't need money to have a good time, thanks for watching, cheers Paul

The name of the Caribou 17 made my day ... !
Thanks for watching Paul and leaving a comment, cheers Paul
Thanks Paul. Always great videos, look forward to them.
Thanks Andrew for the encouragement, cheers Paul

Thanks for watching Dave, that does sound a bit chilly, cheers Paul
We are in summer here!! Planning a river raid this next weekend for our Holiday! Great Sail!
Have fun! and share a video, cheers Paul
Your back lol

Nice, thanks.. I remember Glen’s boat, was fast and I would just follow the boat with the red sails.. cheers.
You and me both! cheers Paul
It's over already?? I was just reaching total relaxation. Great boats and always a great video Paul! Thanks for sharing and as always, Cheers mate!!
My pleasure James and thanks again for watching and leaving a comment, cheers Paul
Great video. Happy blokes getting out and haveing fun. Nice!!
That's what it's all about, thanks for watching and leaving a comment, cheers Paul

Hi Marshall, keep looking on Gumtree and marketplace suitable small boats come up quite often, happy hunting, cheers Paul

Great video as always - love the Aussie banter! 😂
Glad you enjoyed Mark thanks for watching, cheers Paul
It must have been cold, even Bruce had his wet weather gear on!
What can I say ... but yes, cheers Paul
Fantastic! Good turn-out and fun croud. I liked the flower pot heater idea, but now have to figure out why its so flammable. Unless it gets too hot.
The paraffin vapours given off by the tea light can spontaneously ignite at 200c in an enclosed space...beware. It's a shame as mine looks good, cheers Paul
@@SailingKateLouise Ok, makes sense. Thanks for the safety update.
Buenisimoo!.Que lugares!.Felicitaciones?!..Un gran abrazo desde Argentina!
Gracias José, sí, nos divertimos aunque el clima no fue muy bueno. Gracias por mirar y dejar un comentario, saludos Paul.
Thoroughly enjoy your videos and channel.
The sound, videography and editing are excellent.
You are either a very gifted amateur or have worked in the industry professionally.

Wanderfull raid, very interesting activities, Congratulations en make so nice group actions.
Thank you for watching Pedro and leaving a comment, cheers Paul
Hey! I recognize those clouds! You must be in Oklahoma!!!
Ha ha, thanks for watching Matt, cheers Paul
Great vid Paul.
Thanks mate, cheers Paul

Thanks for the info! mike, it tasted good , cheers Paul
It looked cold. The appeal of sailing in Sydney is to avoid the cold!
Ha Ha thanks Rob, cheers Paul
Hi Paul, would you mind posting the name if the Portuguese channel you mentioned? The transcript didn’t pick it up.
He is Teo and his channel is Video Rambler. Thanks for watching, cheers Paul
@@SailingKateLouise pretty close, I believe it's Boat Rambler 🙂
I worry about mooring boats on the banks of wilderness areas. If a yowie wanders by at night you’d get eaten!
or even a Bunyip! thanks for watching, cheers Paul
I just leave my Trangia alcohol stove on low with biofuel for heating the cuddy.
Thanks John. We are lucky that it's only really cold for a month or so and if you are out of the wind it's not too bad. Thanks for watching, cheers Paul

Perhaps someone should have told them not to use a plastic flower pot, Perhaps. I have used a flower pot heater for many years, firstly in my old gaff cutter, then on my trimaran without any problems.
Good to hear. I think good ventilation is the answer, thanks for watching, cheers Paul
Ah yes, I was working away in the nice dry boatshed hearing the rain beating down on the tin roof and thinking of you poor wet souls out there enjoying the weather.
Hi Steve yes it's rained on the last 2 outings....that's almost a pattern....can't wait to see Sweet Caroline soon, cheers Paul
In these parts having a shark go under your bow is considered very good luck. Having a shark come over your stern, not so much .
Well there you go, I didn't know that, cheers Paul
What about Batemans Bay??
Hi Paul is the sailing and camping options good there? I've never sailed there, cheers Paul
I think that Batemans Bay/Clyde River could be worth consideration. There are a couple of private and National Park camping places along the Clyde and great sailing on Batemans Bay in the right conditions.
@@paulnorfolk3699 great thanks for that
Where was the fire scene Paul?Just because you got naked and danced around in the rain is no reason not to show it 😂
I forgot to say good video mate!
I had it in and Ric was very funny wearing his life jacket but then I thought you are not meant to have fires on Pulbah so I took it out. Last time people commented with " I hope you are not having a fire on Pulbah".....
@@SailingKateLouise ok then fair call
Another great one Paul.
For those who are not familiar with Teo, the Portuguese builder that Paul mentioned, here is his maiden voyage in his Ozgoose.

Thanks Gary, cheers Paul
Paul , video was not up to your usual standard.

Oh sorry Paul....any detailed feedback welcome, always open to suggestions, cheers Paul
Paul please get yr wife to trim your eyebrows it's distracting ..
Perhaps the sailing genre not for you John. Plenty of other channels for men that pay attention to other mens eyebrows though, maybe you'll pick up some tips on how to apply eyeliner as well on those channels ..
Ha ha .....I didn't realise I had a John Howard problem, cheers Paul
