MY BOAT
Do you want a boat like mine?
She is 15ft long, an adapted Ilur designed by François Vivier, and built of clinker plywood by les Charpentiers Reunis of Cancale in 1994. The design is based closely on the traditional inshore fishing boats of Brittany, including her single boom-less lugsail rig and lack of a mainsheet horse, (controversial among my viewers). Although rare in Britain, Ilurs are quite common in France.

Similar dinghies can often be found for sale in the French magazine le Chasse-Marée

Thanks to Stéphane Blanc!
This is by far the best small budget video I have ever seen on youtube, bar none. Beautiful.
A feast of nautical fun... Thanks for sharing...
Beautiful choice of music. As melancholic as summer ending is !
Thankyou for including us in your travels
I find this so incredibly relaxing especially with the choice of music.
"They do have their moments!" - well played Roger! Edit: also that opening scene is delightful!
Your disaster film is still so calm, poetic and heartwarming. No wind, foul tides, ornery fisherman, dried out at an angle, towed, rowing for miles, rain, and of all things, no bolt! Love the new music too. I ran out of wind last weekend in a channel and learned that the centerboard is loose enough in the box that it thrashes around in the wakes. Unnerving, but again, what wonderful problems to have right.
Once again you have created a calm, in the midst of unsettling times... Thanks So much...
Nothing better than a September day under sail. 😎❤️👍🏻👍🏻
thank you for bringing some peace in the house after a hard workday . pause get coffe, grapes run up and unpause . tranquility sets in
I am a veteran dinghy sailor here in the U.S. and I can verify that your observation about fishermen is a global truth. I was once sailing close to a dock to make a landing at an established boat launch and had a fisherman cast his line directly in front of my dinghy. He was quite upset when my centerboard snagged his line and came to lecture me about it. Even when I pointed out the large, "No Fishing" sign affixed to the dock he still reasoned that I was at fault! I thoroughly enjoy watching your videos, please keep them coming!
You can't block a navigation... Golden rule of law
Maybe global, but not universal I hope. Spent many hours fishing the canals of Northern England, always always pulled my gear out for passing boats, a nod and a wave. Peace :)
Cotati1956 yes I snagged a guys line once and his pole broke. He was blocking the channel and I never saw his line till it was snagged. I gave him a used pole later that week to avoid the argument. People with shallow minds have big fists. Pissed me off but I took the high road.
I have really enjoyed your stories account of voyages in Southern Brittany and Loire Atlantique. Some 15 years ago on a slightly larger boat than yours ( 23’-00”) I visited the area.
Was going to stay for a year, but stayed for ten!
Better weather than UK, brill.food if you like mussels and oysters, cheap (excellent at 3 euros a bottle) wine, really interesting coastline with lots of off shore islands to explore and all very different. And of course the Morbihan which must be unique. But perhaps most of all is the attitude the locals have to small boat sailors. So welcoming and friendly.
If you have the time do go. You won’t be disappointed.
I’ve heard that “the adventure begins when things go wrong”. Thank you for sharing your adventures - handled, as always, with grace and good cheer.
My Lugger has just arrived - inspired by your films.
Thank you, Roger.
I have 'Binge watched ' your previous videos (more than once) whilst I treaded water waiting for the post-lockdown episodes. This was worth waiting for. More please.
What a beautiful video. Sound track is perfect.
Another great film. Thank you for the inspiration, back to shed for me to finish upgrades on my boat for summer In New Zealand.
Your cinematography is always so stunning and beautiful. You picked a perfect day. Thank you for your work.
You know what would be cool? Showing us how you setup camp when it’s raining and the challenges faced and also the solutions. As a yachtsman, I always wondered how it’s done on dinghys. Great show. Well done 👍
Very pleasurable watching your film. So much to admire : the knowledge, the boat, the skill, the unselfishness( and skill) bothering to filming it for others. The unpivoting centerplate brought a welcome piece of
humanity into it !
Another fucking wonderful video Roger! Please never stop!
At the beginning, the lack of comments enhance the beauty of the music. Very nice music.
Now you’ve ruined it for other people by adding a comment
Lovely, Roger! You have captured the charm of small boat sailing with the footage, music and mood! Most relaxing and watchable! Thanks!
Roger, you have the patience of Job! Another excellent video. As an ex - yacht owner and a committed Francophile you provide me with the best of both worlds. Vive le sausisson sec! 👍
Best wishes from New Zealand Roger. I enjoy your videos immensely, thank you, I’m 76 and getting out occasionally in my 17’ trailer sailer. Fair breezes.
Sublime tinged with a hint of sanguine only sailors could understand.... nicely done mate
It’s currently raining here, I could watch this all day. Thanks for the work you put into these videos. What a wonderful friend you have in Mary.
I'm speechless.....nay shocked......accepting a tow from a plastic tub......... :) . Lovely video, as always. Thank you for all the effort, so inspiring.
plymouthwelshboy did you see his trip up the Tamar? Bloody windy!. Mark Plymouth
Yes but you own your own egg whisk, hitch hiking is not nearly so compromised as hiding one in your lazerette.
@@markcourtney7251 yeah the winds can absolutely whistle down there....
@@andyjarman4958 one never hides it.....it's there for all to see.....hitch hikers will always be welcomed 😁
Spot on Roger love the sculling eye view👍
Sir, your videos are such a refreshing change from the "high-energy" subscriber hunting dross one normally encounters on UA-cam. An erstwhile sailor myself I find, even to this day, the lullaby of the slap of rigging against mast, and gentle Rock of the boat while at anchor guarantees a swift and "amiable" descent into slumber.
More power to you and your dinghy cruising endeavours.
Especially after two days without sleep and having rowed most of the 80kms!
The shots in the beginning were absolutely epic. The entire video content amazing. Thanks for all that you do to bring us along.
Amazing film Roger. By far your best I feel. An honest assessment of dinghy cruising and surpasses even "the homely dinghy". Great opening sequence with your silhouette against the skyline.
I was all stressed today. Came home and my whole youtube feed was stressful !@#$, so I typed in Roger Barnes .............. ahhhhhhh.
Simply fantastic, from the scenery the boat and host to the commentary on fishing and sailing! Throw in a little comic relief at the end, well done.
Thanks Roger, you made me laugh with that one, first with the direction pointing and then with the revelation of being towed.
The day you were rowing with no wind I was rowing my little dinghy to Wild Cat island ( on lake Coniston) in a wind so strong I could barely move.
Sculling is a knack that takes practice to acquire.
Lovely video and music.
Merci et bravo à Toi Roger.👍🙏😎
I’m going to say your best yet! Greetings from down under. Loved the music as well!
Great video. Best wishes from Brisbane, Australia
How nice to spend some pleasant time with you on your sweet sailboat. Thank you 🙏 👍🏻⛵️⛵️👏👏❤️
Simply stunning film- as someone else said, the combination of music and cinematography captures the beauty and atmosphere of sailing in a unique and special region. Yet another brilliant piece, congratulations Mr Barnes! 👌👨🏻☘️
Great photography (again)
Lovely rowing Roger ,, calm personified as per , we spent the day and night in Treboul last saturday ,,, had some lovely walks around the coast into Douarnenez , passed your bar An Ifern which seemed closed all weekend ! And stayed in our Camper outside Treizour boatyard ,,, thought you may stroll past but alas ! We will get you that coffee one day haha ,, Neil &Liz ...
YT is going to have to make a bigger thumbs up button, this one is not big enough. Absolutely fantastic vid, loved every all too short minute of it. Such atmosphere and scenery, along with those Minke Wales (?). Loved the music too. Fair winds Roger.
Thanks again Roger for a lovely film and for showing dinghy cruising, warts and all.
Thank you. Just what I needed today . The music choice was perfect too
Excellent. Great little expedition
Loved it, good sailing and great scenery, thank you
well done again All the best from John in Texas
Another fabulous video
I have been waiting for another wonderful video and you have not disappointed. Thanks Roger
Lovely footage, when it wasn't raining. Enjoyable thanks.
Love these little adventures!
As both a fisherman and a kayaker I've been on both sides of that situation. Thank you for your patience. I can normally call ahead of me when kayaking and ask anglers where they would like me to pass. Showing that I don't want to disrupt the fishing is usually enough to placate them, but then of course I don't have a mast...
I’d love to know more about Maliki, looks like a wonderful little cruiser.
Dual daggerboards, interesting design, haven't seen that before.
Gilles’s designs are very interesting.
Sailing therapy from the master :) ty Roger.
Very enjoyable video, thanks for posting!
This weekend we canoed 40 miles from Paw Paw to Hancock on the Potomac. Shorter distance than your adventure considering it was statute miles. Still, a beautiful long weekend in the mountains on the water. No passing sharks though. :)
the soft shackle + low friction ring used to secure the sheet to the clew looks interesting and very practical for a lot of things on just about any boat
Gosh....so relaxing.....great adventure and really the best for summer's ending....
Downwind departure with the tide. Excellent planning!
Another delightful video, thank you .
I love the shark with the lifting eye passing by the stern at 3:52
Love the channel...been watching for a while. With very light wind and a gentle bob on the water I’m sure I’d nod off.
Thanks for making this Roger. Very relaxing time watching this.
That was a bit of an adventure. Coastal sailing in a cruising dinghy [mine was generally the Solent]. Becalmed, dried out, rowing, for goodness sake. Avoiding the fishers [tell me about it], and to cap it all - towed. At least you didn't ground out in mid-channel. I'm assuming the centreboard/plate was retained by its haul rope. 😉
Unmissable video, as always.
Great video, Roger. Excellent choice of music. Les images sont magnifiques! :)
Fantastic story, capturing a great adventure ⛵ 😁
That was nice Roger. Light, mood and setting at beginning of video was captivating.
Great video. Hopefully will finish my boat soon and follow your example. Thank you.
I love your videos, Roger
That was a beautiful video. Looked like a relaxing sail though, but sometimes that can be good too.
Fantastic!! Felt like I was right there with you!
Spectacular. Blessings.
Beautiful footage, Roger. Thanks for bringing us along.
Merry Christmas.
Thanks Roger ! You capture such a content and tranquil ambiance in your vids’. Simple pleasures, great rewards. 🚣🏻⛺️🗺🌦🌬
Greatly enjoyed your video Roger. Landlocked in Colorado, your videos are a nice escape. Thank you.
How splendid, thank you for sharing with us. Fair winds...
love your style roger...you ...the rig...so pure, and organic ...the total experience must be incredible...the rich sounds of the wood hull , mast, working with the natural fiber rigging against the sea and wind...i hope you continue your quest for adventure and simplicity for many years to come...ill be watching out for your postings...warmest regards...ashley
Yet another great video. Many thanks and regards Michael
Lovely video thank you Roger one of your best!
Great videos Roger!
That's what sailing is all about!
That is the kind of sailing video that should last for hours! Thank you for the inspiration. :-)
Another brilliantly filmed video Roger. Great anecdotes too 👍
Roger, thank you for sharing your adventures. Greetings from Amsterdam.
Great video as always Roger. Thanks for posting it .
Thank you for for the great adventure.
Gord
Peaceful perfection
That was a great adventure ... excellent video! We’re enjoying some fine autumn sailing here in Quebec. Keep well, stay safe and Hold Fast!
Looks like great fun (and good exercise). Thanks for a wonderful video. I sail the same waters, but can't get as 'close to the edge'. ;-)
You two should split a bottle.
Have thoroughly enjoyed your videos too Patrick, any new ones expected.?
I am not a sailor and never will be but I enjoy your videos immensly
Thanks for sharing .
I am so glad I have found this channel, I was watching some Tom Cunliffe videos and you popped up!
I am not a marinor but did go on Class de Voile in Granville when I lived near Mount Saint Michel, funny because now I must just be down the road from you living in Bridgwater.
I hope to sail La Manche once again, until then I shall live vicariously through you, x
That was a pleasant video, well done
El mejor video que vi en mí vida , es este! Grande Roger!!!
You're one of favourite channels on UA-cam 👍
Such a nice video!
Loved it.Thankyou🇩🇰
Roger....I never laughed so hard when my girlfriend saw you accepting a tow. She was there when you rejected my suggestion for the smallest air cooled outboard for those windless days and when I defended you purist ways. It went like this (Girlfriend) “look honey...he sold you out”. I had no defense for you buddy. Still love your videos the best. Buaaaaahhhh. Lol.
Yes, I am a sad disappointment in many ways...
Roger Barnes No way. Never a disappointment. Don’t go there. You da man!!!
I think of it as nautical hitchhiking.
Just beautiful.
a pivotal moment!
