First Punt of 2025

[@vklaassen1]

The Illinois River is frozen over and my punt is in the garage. I love to see your videos. They make me itch for spring>

[@roberteastwood9886]

I'm so envious of you guys having other Punts to sail with!

Thanks Robert, this was a last minute call to go out so only 3 of us made it. We had 12 out over the Christmas period. ua-cam.com/video/aylTlLbQNaE/v-deo.html

Thanks, they are great little boats.

[@SailingTeamTallyHo]

Awesome! What a way to knock about in boats! Where is this?

[@lurch1e]

Thanks. It's Mersea Island in the UK.
They are fantastic little boats, able to sail in a few inches of water.

Great sailing.
Happy New Year.

Thanks and Happy New Year to you too!

The punts are quite similar to sharpies from the east coast of the US. Long, low, and flat-bottomed.

Every year I watch several thousand UA-cam videos and yours are some of the only ones I watch at normal speed. Happy new year

Winter sailing is great. You have the whole ocean to yourself

[@lurch1e]

Winter sailing is great, I just wish it was a little warmer and brighter!
