Splendid boats, they are. One thing though - I would not keep the fire extinguisher in a place that cannot be get at very fast - I’ve had some extinguisher training at our boat club and at work; if you cannot get at it in a second or so you might have some issues with fire… didn’t catch its size but hereabouts the minimum size for boats is 2 kg, which actually needs both good luck and some experience on its use to get anything extinguished… also it should be stored upright so that the stuff inside stays good. A fire blanket might be more useful in real life situations (some practice with it could be useful also…).
Aye, that was my thought also
Thanks mate for the info, I didn't realise storing flat was a bad idea
It recommends the Stornaway that you experienced and credentialed gentlemen, afters years of sailing other boats, have chosen the Stornaways. Thanks for sharing this. From Kentucky
Thanks again for watching Nick, cheers Paul
To be able to continue your passion Martin , is so very heartwarming . Enjoy .
Thanks for watching, cheers Paul
She looks to be a good size skipper, not too small on the water and not too big on the road. 😃
That's Glenn, some of the larger trailer sailers would be a handful to launch by yourself but more comfort...pros and cons, cheers Paul
Thanks for the tag along Paul and showing your mstes 18 i do have to say the highlight of the segment was the showing of your boats layout well thought out.
Makes for a great pocket cruiser.
Thanks Dave for coming along and hopefully see you at Myall Lakes in a few weeks , cheers Paul
great vid
Thanks for watching, cheers Paul
Lovely story Martin and what a beautiful craft . ENJOY !!!!
Glad you enjoyed it, cheers Paul
Aaaaahhhh.... Thanks for taking us along Paul, cheers!!.....⛵⛵⛵
My pleasure James, thanks for watching
Another very interesting video of two Stornaways "and a stowaway" , Thanks Paul, Dave and Martin.
Glad you enjoyed it.Thanks for watching, cheers Paul
Thank you for the guided tour. I had often wondered what the cabin looked like inside.
Glad you enjoyed it, cheers Paul
Given what Martin has overcome to get out there it is fantastic. My biggest barrier is laziness….
Yes he is an inspiration.....
Myall lakes is not far away 😀😀😀😀😀😀
Nice. 😊another lovely story and I enjoyed seeing some of the details of Kate Louise thanks Paul.
My pleasure Col.
Thanks for tour of Kate Louise. Now you have a partner boat, fantastic!
Glad you enjoyed it! and I think there is another Stornaway somewhere in Sydney, that I spotted on the harbour one day. Hopefully he or she will get in contact. Thanks again for watching, cheers Paul
@@SailingKateLouise I guess if I want one, Ill have to order from Australia. They're just a nice boat.
Another great one Paul, BUT where is the DEB?
gary
Well Gary I'm trying to organise a Deb-Off cooking challenge, but it seems incredibly hard to get in touch with the continental factory in Melbourne. But I will keep trying....just think of the publicity 😜😜😜😜😜😜😜😜😜😜😜
This video just made my day.
And number 2
Thanks again for watching Mark, cheers Paul
Great overview of such lovely boats
Glad you enjoyed it, cheers Paul
thanks for the tour Paul, lot of room in there considering the size.
well it's a bit tight, but ok for one, two would be a squeeze if you had lots of gear, thanks again , cheers Paul
Great video is always Paul. It was interesting to see you laying out your anchor buddy. I have one but in the past have trusted it to run between the chain and the road without doubling up. That changed when I discovered the rubber tubing has actually broken. And I'll have it set up the way you do and the way that I know is recommended :-). I'm curious if you ever have any issues with the doubled up portion when you deploy. It seems a bit messy. I've only been out once since to try and will play around with it but was curious as to your experience.
Hi Tim, Having been washed ashore as my anchor dragged once, ( before I got an anchor buddy and larger anchor) I'm very wary of putting all your eggs in one basket....in this case 8mm silicon tube. It is a bit messy having a loop but it does give a lot of reassurance. Also the fittings are supposed to be stainless but are rusting already. However I think the Anchor buddy is a great idea and works well, cheers Paul
Wonderful video! Thanks, Paul.
Glad you liked it! Michael ,thanks for watching, cheers Paul
hmm. thanks for the incentive to reorganize my boat..... (boat shamed)😃
Oh I didn't mean to shame you.....thanks for watching, cheers Paul
@@SailingKateLouise haha!
Martin, you are an inspiration x
Yep he sure is , thanks for watching Holly, cheers Paul
A great story, lovely boats. Fantastic location. 🇦🇺👍🍺
Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for watching, cheers Paul
Great vid, thanx for showing the inside of your boat. Very interesting
No problem 👍 Phil ,thanks for watching, cheers Paul
👍aqui do Brasil 🇧🇷. Muita saúde
Muito obrigado por assistir meus vídeos, espero que gostem, abraços Paul
Very interesting comparison. Thank you for showing the canvas hatch idea. With the hatch open does that allow you to move quite well forward of the cabin area for anchor work and whatever else might need attention from cabin safety?. I'm currently building a oughtred fulmar day boat with full forward access like the other stornaway that you showed us. Very beautiful boats. 🤠🇦🇺👍
Wow, are you near Sydney come sailing with us. Fulmar's are a great boat and fast with heaps of room. Yes my hatch allows you to reach the samsom post and tie off the anchor without walking on the deck. Thanks for watching, cheers Paul
ps send me some photos of your build to sailingkatelouise@gmail.com
@@SailingKateLouise G'day Paul. I'm not near Sydney mate. I live in little old Adelaide town. I'll send you a couple of fulmar pics. I got to work out how to get them on so I can email to you She's a cedar stripped one . Thanks for the reply on the cabin/canvas hatch. Smart cabin idea that one. Great content, thanks Paul 🤠🇦🇺👍
@@greatsouthlandmike7260 Thanks Mike looking forward to the photos, cheers Paul
Thanks Paul, an interesting comparison. I sail an open cockpit Stornaway which has a spray hood forward which forms part of the tent when camping onboard.
Hi Chris yes a great idea, Steve with the Bayraider 17, and John with the Core sound 17 also have a spray hood and it works well. Thanks for watching, cheers Paul
Chris, I’m planning on making a spray dodger for my boat. Any advice, thoughts, drawings/photos? My boat has a square forward end to the cockpit which is exercising my mind
@@martinpryor6084 Hi Martin, the dodger was on the boat when I bought her. The cockpit is curved forward. It has proved really useful especially when camping onboard. It does restrict visibility ahead when sailing but the shelter is worthwhile. I would suggest the lightest waterproof material you can get. If you look at some of my sailing videos you could get some ideas. I don't have any plans sorry.
Paul I really like that canvas companionway cover. That will be how i will enclose my cabin in my boat build 'Gros Bec' and will solve a couple of problems I haven't worked out yet. I really like being able to roll it all up and stow it instead of having boards to find good places to put it in the cabin. Thanks for sharing!
Great Buddy, I've just come back from Port Stephens and John on His Waller 5.4 had a similar hatch cover but it was made from clear PVC (sail windows). I think that was a really good idea as it lets light into the cabin and you can look at the stars to sleep. Thanks for watching, cheers Paul
This was an interesting tour of your boat.
Thanks mate, cheers Paul
Paul, I love your UA-cam channel! First rate stuff! Great tour of your boat!
I'm actually rewatching this evening, to steal (I mean 'get') ideas for my slot top cover. Just finishing up a 10' dinghy cruiser. Kate Louise's cuddy slot is very similar. Your cover is impressive! I'd love to join you & your buddies on a dinghy cruise, but I'm in The States.
Thanks mate ,yes the hatch cover is great, I,m thinking of making one out of clear PVC so I can fall asleep looking at the stars. The Stornaways are about to be made in the states....stay tuned and thanks for watching, cheers Paul
No through hull for a knotmeter ? Easy install.
I will check it out, cheers Paul
Thank you for your video. I had been wondering how it looks inside. Very nice. Just one question: do you have a head? Cheers.
Nope too smal,l the newer versions will have room for a porta potty, cheers Paul
Hello Paul are you planning any sailing trips on Lake Macquarie or at Myall Lakes in late September or early October . I have a Magnum 8.5 and would love to catch up with a raid group for a sail . Cheers Alex
Hi Alex we are at Myall Lakes August 18-20. I will probably squeeze in another sail at Lake Macquarie before October commitments.....follow on the events tab
Is the bilge too shallow for a knotmeter housing ? Mind you the torpedo gets the job done
Hi yes the bilge is only 6 inches at it's deepest point, cheers Paul
Hi, I love your channel. I sail a Siren 17. Just a quick question. Why do you wire your batteries in series and then use a reducer as opposed to wire them in parallel?
Hi I love the Siren 17 but never seen one in Oz. The Torqueedo needs 24 v but the cabin lights are on a second circuit that only needs 12v hence the reducer. Thanks for watching, cheers Paul
@@SailingKateLouise Thank you, I bought the air cooled Honda 2.3 HP outboard. Its a nice little engine but very noisy so we only ever run 1/4 throttle, Just enough to engage the centrifical clutch. That still gets the Siren up to 3 or 4 knots to get through the narrow channel out to where we like to sail.
@@retiredfoxhound I love your name😁
@@SailingKateLouise I was a Canadian Infantry soldier for 33 years. Foxhound is the radio codeword for infantry for Nato countries referring to infantry.
I am a proud Beagle owner though. I love hound dogs.
Out of curiosity, what's the purpose of running the batteries in series? Or does the electric outboard run on 24v?
Yep runs on 24 v, the newer versions are 48 v, cheers Paul
Two great yachts , one is just a bit better than the other 🤷♂️
Thanks for watching Chris, I must admit I do like a little cabin which is not strictly a dinghy, but what the hell, cheers Paul
@@SailingKateLouise always important to have somewhere to hunker down when needed ! Life shouldn’t be uncomfortable .
Number 1🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thanks for watching John , cheers Paul
