What a charming christening ceremony and lovely speech! Congratulations Martin to this stunning build and smooooth first sail 🥂🍾 Great video, thank you so much for sharing!!!
I can't believe the turnout for the launch. You have a great boating community there, I wish we had that here. Beautiful new Long Steps --- give Martin my best wishes from the States!!!
Absolutely enjoyed this launch celebration! Beautiful boat and many adventures await! ⛵️ (None of my boat builds have ever had this type of launch fanfare … but maybe my current project, an 18’18” Mackinaw Boat ketch replica might … ?)
Another lovely video. Congratulations to the builder🎉. Launching from Creese's slipway was brilliant. But as an aside, I do wonder how many boats you own. A different one for each occasion? 😅
Congratulations Michael, she looks really great. The boat does too!

Great video, thank you so much for sharing!!!
I'm impressed by this beautiful build and boat design.
But more so by the comradeship and genuine warmth that was there at the launch.

Nice to see it all come together. That's the best footage I've seen of Long Steps sailing. Congratulations!
Thanks Mat for the footage, well done. Congratulations Michael on your launch, she looks fantastic.
Goes very well!
BIG CONGRATULATIONS
Another bonza boat by a bonza designer. Looks great on the water plus well built too. Cheers
Glad to see another one out on the water. Thanks for sharing!
This is great. Thank you for sharing.
I didn’t know how good longsteps look untill your video showed her shape so well. Wow and congrats.
Well done! That's a beautiful boat.
Just a GREAT day!!!

Thanks Petrea. I'll never tell. ;-)
@@SmallCraftTasmania-ms4sx at least one for each day of the week 😂
I love the rig. I have been thinking about building a Long Steps.
Do it! Great boat!!
Great to see the Long Steps launched. Nice video too Matt. What were you sailing around in?
Thanks. It’s a Hobie Adventure Island (not the tandem).
On a side note: What are you sailing here?
