      Yes it was! So lovely that so many folks came along just to chat too. Sorry we missed you the other day on the bay.

    Amazing footage of excellent-built craft. I must admit my jaw dropped with one of them.

      So many beautiful boats. Wait til you see the combined RAID/Tindarra fleet! That brought even more out of the woodwork!

    Awesome to see a gunter rig on that Acorn! I have a similar hull (Cat's Paw Dinghy) with nearly the same rig on it.

      Right on, long live Gunter rigs! I love them. Cat’s Paw dinghies are so cute. Where do you sail yours?

      I know. My heart goes out to Petrea - Bodie was a very special little boy and everyone in Tindarra Sailors knew him. I will pass on your message.

    Thank you for showing the beautiful sailboats! They're incredible!I
    I heard about your channel over on Sailing Kate louise.
    I hope to build an Oz Goose this winter over here in the states...we'll see if I actually have (make) the time.
    Thank you again for sharing... it truly motivates me!

      Hi! Welcome aboard. We are very lucky to have sailed with Paul @SailingKateLouise and the rest of the RAID Sydney crew. How exciting to build an Oz Goose. What made you decide on that design?

      @@afloatinawoodenboat Thank you... It looks like a good boat for a first build. I hope to find the time..I have 1968 Sunfish that needs a little love to practice on. Oh and a 1985-6 Nacra 5.0 but that can wait.

      @@afloatinawoodenboat Yup...Me and a budy purchased a pair of Sunfish in 2020, both 1968 I think and they where water logged, we didn't know anything about sailing or sailboats. I found a 1978 dirt cheap later that summer, In great shape, that's what I've been sailing. Purchased and sold a Laser Bug, bought a Hoibe One (to tippy) need to sell that one.... I think I'm hooked...He sailed once.

      @@eddrm4685 I think you are indeed hooked! I share your addiction, but I’ve been lucky enough to have salt water in the blood since birth (I will always owe my parents a debt that cannot be repaid for that). Hope to bump into you sometime, though with those boats I think you’ll be a tad faster than us cruisers!

    Hi Holly thanks for the video. I’m in Brisbane and I’d like to offer the project hull of a Coulson 5.5 boat made of epoxy glass from a mould . I also have a weighted (lead) centreboard to go with it.
    It’s free as I don’t think I’m able to complete.
    Is the a Facebook group for the Tindarra Sailors?

    • @afloatinawoodenboat

      Hi there! What an exciting project. Tindarra don’t have a fb group, but they use telegram. If you’re on fb, send me a message and I can connect you!
