Looks great. I'm planning on doing the same again this year. It's such a shame the Warsash now has a max parking limit of 4 hours in the carpark making it almost useless as a launch site now...
Love it! Great weather and sea state for it. How long did it take you guys? I tried in my rib in August but the seas on the south of the island where whipped up and I had white caps and 3m waves so quickly decided to turn back after getting to Ventnor for the sake of my crew lol! I was coming clockwise from Bembridge. Can't wait for warmer climates to try again. Just followed in Insta BTW.
I had 3 x 12 litre tanks and a couple of emergency jerry cans. The first tank was almost empty at St Catherine's lighthouse, the southern most tip of the island, around halfway mark 35 miles in.
Nice video! Can I ask how you attached the aux engine? I have a 3.6 Zodiac and never even considered one because of the size of the boat/transom - but you are making it look like it's possible which gives me some hope. I see you are also using a transom wheel, I have no idea how there's still room for that little engine up there, but seems like you're making it work. I'd love to see a video of you attaching it and using it a little, simulating an engine problem on the main one.
I won't be able to make a vid on this for a while, but I will make one. I do have lots of pictures I can show in the meantime though, follow me on Instagram @munxhy528
With a slightly smaller dinghy with a similar size Honda engine… I achieved top speed of 22knts and cruising speed of around 16-18knts. That auxiliary engine has to add mass and drag so I doubt he could go more than 17-19knts

Great video 👍 You beat me to doing that trip 🤬😂 Perfect conditions
Nice boat, nice Revier for boating, nice video
Epic! As a complete beginner I will not be attempting anything like that anytime soon...if ever!
Yes yes yes... this is the way enjoy Mother Nature...👍👍👍🌝🌝🌝🌝
According to climate hysterics the only way to enjoy would be with a wooden canoe :(
Good stuff. I would like to do that in my T32 one day
Wood love to see more videos like this with more speakin top video
Watch this space! Any ideas for more videos let me know

Took about 6 hours. Perfect conditions was able to go at full speed 99% of the time, but sightseeing slowed it down!
@@chrisbutler851 that’s not bad at all!! So desperate to get out in the water but waiting for the weather to warm up 😁

Brilliant-well done-how much fuel did you carry for the voyage ?

Brilliant video. What speed do you achieve with that 20hp ?

Henrik is correct, around 20 knots top speed
