    Two things I loved about this video. First, I learnt to sail yachts out off Conwy in the early 1980's. Lovely to see fun is still being had on the river. Second I have an Albin Vega oh and third we had a dog called Tara. Loved the video and have subscribed 👍 😀

      @@sailingcosiloveit I’ve seen someone tie his boat to a dock then clean both sides but never seen anyone do it like you & bro did, that was quality 👌🏻. Also your vids reminds me of a Thomas the Tank Engine version of sailing ⛵️ 😀 very soothing. Oh & im very addicted now and have been thinking of nothing else but sailing & gathering lots of equipment during the winter months. My boat is on the west coast of Scotland in Tarbert and I am 550 miles away in Kent, so should be going up to see double scotch in a few weeks.

    Looks far more controlled than when I dried out. Assured that a mooring would be 'wet' at all states of the tide. At 0200 hrs I woke at a funny angle with pots and pans clattering into the cabin sole! By 0800 hrs we were back on our keel!

      Hi Aphrodite, we have also had the very same “yes I assure you, your boat will not touch” and just like you soon as your dropping off your rudely awakened by the list. Think it must be a standard joke harbour masters tell at the annual ball. “You will never guess but got another one last week”

    Well that’s a first for me, I’ve often seen bilge keelers dry out on the beach like that but never a fin keeler, at least not deliberately!

    • @sailingcosiloveit
      @sailingcosiloveit  2 роки тому

      Hi Chris up to the 1960’s that’s all you would see. There were no big blue cranes knocking about to lift your boat and maintenance still had to take place. It’s only the introduction of bilge keelers, lifting cranes and marinas that’s changed things. Mike

    When the tide is coming back in, is there a risk the cockpit would flood or does it just float up ok? Really great video... have similar tides where I live so tempted to do that with my Vega (#1757). Thanks!!

    • @sailingcosiloveit
      @sailingcosiloveit  2 роки тому +2

      There is NO chance of a Vega not coming back up from laying on her side on a flat sand. Have no worries it won’t even get to the deck mike

    What if there happens to be a rock on the spot where the side of the boat is landing? I'm asking since up here it would be impossible to not find a rock. And of course we have no tide either...

    • @sailingcosiloveit
      @sailingcosiloveit  2 роки тому +4

      Hi sailawayteam, if you have no tide then it’s a none starter. We check the chosen spot out the tide before we use it and remove any unwanted rocks. If accidental drying and you see a rock and you are committed just place a wash board over the rock just before contact. This should spread the load sufficiently to look after the hull. Use both wash boards in the case of a sharp object that can’t be removed. Mike

      Hi Luke it was self eroding hemple that was well fouled after 8-9 months. It was re-coated with the very same before the water came back in. I think the red you can see is the epoxy. Mike

    • @sailingcosiloveit
      @sailingcosiloveit  2 роки тому

      Yes that’s the only way I have done it. I drilled a hole in the bottom of the pole and pivoted it on the pin that restricts the bowsprit. Block and tackle from pole to the stem. Large gallows in the cockpit to catch the mast. You can only control it to about 70 degrees. I used two 8ft 3x2” to make gallows and crossed them with warp about 2ft from the top. Placed on seats in cockpit and it came down well. Once you get it to the gallows it will be well over hung on the stern so get the bolt out of the mast base and move it forward to fit snug on the boat. You can drop the gallows to cockpit sole. Tie up and secure. Two man job but very easy with no wind. I have only done this afloat in the marina with the boat stern too. Ensure you have enough room behind you. Good luck mike.
