That's an impressive turnout Lurch; a dozen punts plus some hangers on by my count. Great to see the group reinvigorated. This kind of excellent video work surely helps! P.S. what's with the black sails with the go-faster stripe??
Thanks, it was great to see so many out, but we were still missing a few. One of the punters works for Hyde sails and they made the black sails ages ago. We have a rule that the only thing you are allowed to buy new for your punt is a sail and sprit. You can have a carbon mast or any high-tec kit as long as its been re-purposed or found just lying around.
We were missing a couple of punters too! We are going to try to get a winter racing series going, so hopefully we will see even more of us on the water..
Brilliant!!
Winter had just started and we get this lovely video. I feel heldover for a bit.
As always, supremely beautiful work. Thank you for the serene mood. Feel grand,
Thanks, it was great to get so many of us out.
Gorgeous. Beautifully photographed and wonderful music. And quite the outing.
Thank you. It was a great day yesterday, and fun editing the video with a hangover this morning!
Thanks; I always love a punt sailing video.
I'm in Cornwall and we've had grey skies and next to no wind too.
Sometimnes the grey skies are really dramatic, but I definately prefer the sunny winter days.
@@lurch1e At least it's not especially cold. We had 14C here on Christmas Eve. It was 12C today.
Your videos are consistently the best small sailboat videos on UA-cam. Happy New Year!
@@RobbsHomemadeLife thanks Robb, Happy New Year to you too.
The Punt is a joy in those light drifty conditions, every time I try and sail mine, it's blowing old boots!
It has been a bit like that this year!
I'm looking forward to some of those beautiful, clear winter days.
Another beauty mate!
@AngusMilgate cheers mate.
What a good Christmas tradition, and always beautifully filmed by Capt. Lurch
Thanks, last year it was blowing old boots, so I didnt manage to get much video. I think my favourite is this, ua-cam.com/video/nqKocZ0Jd2A/v-deo.html
