For some odd reason, these small dinghies lacking a lot of comfort seem to bring a lot of joy to their owners. I enjoyed every bit of your video and adventures.
I also have another one which acts as food store box or camera gear storage box depending on the voyqge being undertaken. I designed the galley box around the trangia and with room for cleaning and cooking utensils and enough food space for a two day one overnight voyage. Stable enough for use in the boat at anchor or easily carries up the beach. One of my recent cellars beach river yealm videos shows the box in good use on the beach. I also use it out the back of the car on long stargazing astrophotography trips .
WOW! What a lovely place. Color me green...really enjoyed seeing the cook box in action, too. Really splendid job presenting this. You are so fortunate to sail in such a beautiful place. Arwen is looking grand! Thank you.
Poor Arwen is battered, bruised, with epoxy where it didn't need to be; alerations which I didnt plan or think through thus making her deck hatch difficult to access; and chunks out of her rub rails. But, to me she is beautiful, safe, reliable, forgiving and so much more. As for our creeks - yes many of them are stunning and i am very, very lucky. I hope to get up some more between now and october. the galley box, although not a pretty finish, is functional and works well for a two day trip. Hope you are well Donald. Thanks for the comments. Steve
Good morning Sir, Just found your channel, watched your video and subscribed. I enjoy the smaller open boat camping videos. I have a small boat 23 foot Aquarius Sloop. It’s not an open boat, but For some reason I find the smaller boats romantic, cozy. But, I do like the camping feeling of your open boats. Your kitchen box looks very handy to. Looking forward to more of your videos. Best from America
hello - thanks for the kind comments and for subscribing. small boats are wonderful and can sneak into places bigger boats can't reach.....the old carlsberg ad on UK TV - paraphrased - 'small boats [carlsberg beer] reach the parts other boats [beers] can't reach'. The galley box is a work in progress and I may change it as I use it more.
Hi and Thank you a very nice video I have no boat at the moment but that will soon change in the near future it's some fifty years since I last sailed a boat .I Retire next year so looking forward to taking some sailing Training to refresh my memory then I can enjoy Sailing in my Retirement. I live in Lancashire about eleven miles from Southport and a hour and half drive from the lake District and the River Ribble is on my door step that is navigatable up to Preston and a bit beyond in a small boat plenty of canals to investigate as well so I Will Keep watching your channel and utube for tips like your Galley box Thanks Geoff.
Hi LL Sorry for the late comment but I only just found the site. I retired from work 2 years ago I now have a small part time job. Having done the whizz around sailing for many years (did the Dart 18 world's twice ) I now want a more relaxed and soul reaffirming form of sailing . Found two possibles. A 16 foot Falmouth Yawl with loads of gear at £2795 or something much less traditional and much lighter to launch a Wanderer for £695 . I'm sure it won't be long before in back on the water. Happy sailing LL
Lovely,will be up there myself next week. My friend was only talking about her grandfather who worked at Treluggan quarry the other day,she said the barges that used to come up to there and Poldrissick used to drag heavy chains behind them to keep open the channel ways.Could do with a bit of that now especially over St.Germans way which as you know can be extremely shallow.
That's what i've always understood. It was at Treluggan before that,now it's down here on the Rame peninsula,Mashfords had it for a while but i think it's in Millbrook now.
I'm enjoying looking at dingy setups for camping. I like how much they can hold, the simplicity, and that they have enough space for sleeping. However, are you able to right it if it were to capsize? Any flotation?
Firstly I try to avoid sailing in conditions where there is a risk of capsize. Secondly, I have righted Arwen when she was empty. Never tried when she has been full. She does have a huge amount of flotation in the form of lockers....so stern and side seats are lockers, as are centre and front thwarts. Then there is a large locker under the foredeck as well. When going coastal cruising, I add in two temporary buoyancy bags low down along the centrecase as well
This is a great video with it's great commentary and inclusions of wildlife and surroundings as well as the sailing scenes. Well done. I live in Australia and sail a little Farr 6000 Trailer Sailer and do much similar things as you, but selfishly enjoy it too much to take the time to record my travels as you thankfully do. My only complaint is your sound is a bit weak and I had to turm my sound right up to hear you well. Thanks again.
Yes my son has a Go-Pro and although, like yours, it gives good clear video I detest the "fish-eye" lenses with all things above the centre-line that should be straight, curved downward and conversely below the centre-line curved upward at the ends giving bent masts, bent booms, and curved tops and bottoms. That's the one reason I don't have one. I do own a nice little vid-cam but it's only a cheapie and I've not bothered to mount it. I sail a lot in the open ocean often with spray flying about, so it would not last long on my boat not being water-proof. Once again thanks for your efforts. I do enjoy them, as I'm sure lots of others.
Peter Barnes ah now depending on what version he has, that is easy to get rid of. There are UA-cam videos which will show him how but basically set the field of view to linear if he can. Film in 1080p or 4K at 30or 60 FPS. If he isn’t doing action stuff that requires GoPro then use a normal digital camera that can film same 1080p or 4K using tripod............GoPros are excellent but not for distant shots and their sound quality is useless.
Hi everyone and thanks for watching the video. if you have any suggestions for things you would like to see or ways I can improve them then drop me a comment below
Thank you. It is a small sized trangia stove. Fuelled by meths. The stoves are widely available at UK camping shops. Mine is nearly forty years old now and still going strong after years of expedition and travel use across UK and the world. People have mixed views about trangias onboard small boats...spillage risk.....you do have to have them stabilised and ideally in a galley box. Absorbent fire retardment material below them helps too. I buy equipment which will cover.my mountain camping, cycling, sailing and travelling activities....everything has to cross all four before I will consider buying it. I love trangias......huge fan but I also know there are better stoves out there now.....but it's sentimentality.....and also I've slowed down on the mountain and expedition work....so no need to upgrade anything. Thanks for dropping by. Hope you enjoy the other videos. Will get out as soon as lock down restrictions permit. Stay safe and well 😀
plymouthwelshboy thanks for the comprehensive reply! I was a professional skipper for many years and also went through the options. Ended up with my own wooden Golden Hind 31, complete with paraffin lamps and solid fuel pot belly stove! Things are safe as long as you mitigate the risk and prepare for mishaps, I find. Ive seen a few of your vids. Nice drone work too. I’m a big Welsford fan. Beautiful boats. I currently have a Bergqvist-designed Winkle Brig 16. Fingers crossed fir some sailing this year. New hip will help :-)
plymouthwelshboy lol! It’s the “without a mishap” that’s the gotcha. They do “follow me” drones, don’t they? Dies yours not do that, or is it impractical in a boat? I’d thought of getting a cheap one... heave-to, launch drone, sail around with drone following, then heave-to to retrieve... what could _possibly_ go wrong????
Quercus petraea, commonly known as the sessile oak, Cornish oak, or durmast oak, is a species of oak tree native to most of Europe and into Anatolia and Iran. The sessile oak is the national tree of the Republic of Ireland, and an unofficial emblem in Wales and Cornwall. Depends where you look things up 😁
Almost. In the botanical and zoological sense ‘sessile’ means ‘without a stalk’. The leaves and acorns of the sessile oak have no stalk. A sessile barnacle is one without a stalk. The opposite of ‘sessile’ is ‘pedunculated’. By necessity, all oak trees are ‘fixed in one place’, ‘immobile’! Whether sessile or pedunculated!
What a lovely video. You made quite a progress with the editing. Still, try not to speak directly in the mic when you record the voiceover. Anyway, I got a very warm and calm feeling watching this, thank you very much.
You can buy a long fork and eat straight from the bag, the fork would reach right into the bottom of ready meal bags quite easily, for zero cleaning up or spillage. You knew that, right?
We have a phrase in the UK...teaching granny to suck eggs.....I'm an ex mountaineer, outdoor instructor and expeditioneer. Now I have leisure time, I find eating out of bags totally uncivilised and somewhat heathen like 😁😁😉😆
James Smith hi James. The stove is a trangia, still on sale in modern format. Mine is nearly forty years old now. It burns meths. Newer ones can burn gel as well
Thanks Jeebs. I am assuming apop screen is one of those round things put in front of a mic. I also assume that you are talking about the voice commentary rather than me talkin in the actual video clips - that mic is a lavaliere clip on mic on a zoom H1 recorder. I use the same set up doing the voice over - but clearly I need to adjust this system somehow. Thanks for the tips. have a good Christmas, wherever you are in the world
plymouthwelshboy Yes, exactly so- meaning the round thingy and the intro commentary not the rest. No big deal, really, just a suggestion. All the best!
For an open boat 100 to 200 pound per ft of length is about right, anything more is labels , whistles and bells For a boat with a lid 1000 to 2000 pound per ft unless your showing off. Good luck
Most of the places I overnight are rural or at very quiet yards or near small villages. It hasn't happened yet. I do get concerned about leaving the boat unattended at times where I am close to public roads or footpaths in case someone tries to steal something. Neither things have happened yet though 😀
For some odd reason, these small dinghies lacking a lot of comfort seem to bring a lot of joy to their owners. I enjoyed every bit of your video and adventures.
Wierd isn't it...thank you for the compliment. Glad you enjoyed it 😊
that's a neat little galley box
Thanks Pete. It does the job 😆

Wonderful video. Captures the essence of dinghy cruising perfectly. Thanks for sharing.
Aah. Thanks Pebe - kind comment. Hope you enjoy the others in the series as well. Take care now Steve
Thank you for sharing your experiences in this beautiful video!
You are most welcome. Sorry I can't do any more at the moment....for obvious reasons. Stay safe and well
Great vid mate!
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it
Enjoying your videos and adventures.
Thank you. More will follow as soon as lockdown is lifted 😀
What a wonderful video, loved it.
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it. more coming out in next few months

This is excellent. Nice to see a Tamar boatyard get some airtime.
Thank you. Very kind. Treluggan is a lovely yard
Just what I like to watch. Thanks
You are welcome
Nice galley and dinning table. Beautiful view.
doesn't get much better does it - thanks Fredrick

Rameman amazing. What a history. Wasn't it up poldrissick they dug out the old Tamar barge "lynher'
That's what i've always understood. It was at Treluggan before that,now it's down here on the Rame peninsula,Mashfords had it for a while but i think it's in Millbrook now.
what a project - I think i might look into that a bit more an see what is happening to her. have a good canoe trip - let me know how it goes
tamarbarge.org.uk/
ha - found it earlier on - thanks rameman
Beautiful, thank you! Sub’d & Bell’d
Glad you enjoyed it. Thank you. Difficult at moment to do any more whilst under lock down but as soon as it is lifted I will be returning 😄

Peter Barnes thanks. Sound is always an issue on GoPro cameras. I now have an external microphone so things should improve over time ☺️

Desperate to be out. Winklebrig sounds interesting. Yep drone is interesting. Trying to work out how to sail and drone fly..🤣 without a mishap 🙄😭😁

Oh mine follows me . It also has a mind of its own as well 🤣
"Sessile oak woodlands"
Sessile : (of an organism, e.g. a barnacle) fixed in one place; immobile.
(to save anyone else having to look it up)
Quercus petraea, commonly known as the sessile oak, Cornish oak, or durmast oak, is a species of oak tree native to most of Europe and into Anatolia and Iran. The sessile oak is the national tree of the Republic of Ireland, and an unofficial emblem in Wales and Cornwall. Depends where you look things up 😁
Almost.
In the botanical and zoological sense ‘sessile’ means ‘without a stalk’. The leaves and acorns of the sessile oak have no stalk.
A sessile barnacle is one without a stalk.
The opposite of ‘sessile’ is ‘pedunculated’.
By necessity, all oak trees are ‘fixed in one place’, ‘immobile’! Whether sessile or pedunculated!
even i like this and i’m usually a hater . good job.
Thank you. Done for when I am too old to sail 🤣
What a lovely video. You made quite a progress with the editing. Still, try not to speak directly in the mic when you record the voiceover. Anyway, I got a very warm and calm feeling watching this, thank you very much.

All I can hear is the sound of trickling water..
And some geezer playing a grand piano endlessly
good - glad you enjoyed it :)
Enjoyed your video. What brand of stove do you use?
James Smith hi James. The stove is a trangia, still on sale in modern format. Mine is nearly forty years old now. It burns meths. Newer ones can burn gel as well
Thanks for the vid! Get a pop screen for your mic though, mate.
Thanks Jeebs. I am assuming apop screen is one of those round things put in front of a mic. I also assume that you are talking about the voice commentary rather than me talkin in the actual video clips - that mic is a lavaliere clip on mic on a zoom H1 recorder.

plymouthwelshboy Yes, exactly so- meaning the round thingy and the intro commentary not the rest. No big deal, really, just a suggestion. All the best!
@@jeebs3000 cheers bud
Is that place known as Boating World? Good vid.
Was boating world now treluggan.....and thanks. Glad you enjoyed it
How much would a decent dinghy cost guys?
how long is a piece of string Paul - all depends on what type you want. a browse of ebay will give you some good indications
For an open boat 100 to 200 pound per ft of length is about right, anything more is labels , whistles and bells
For a boat with a lid 1000 to 2000 pound per ft unless your showing off.
Good luck

Do you ever worry about someone coming to/into your boat while you are sleeping and harassing or robbing you?
Most of the places I overnight are rural or at very quiet yards or near small villages. It hasn't happened yet. I do get concerned about leaving the boat unattended at times where I am close to public roads or footpaths in case someone tries to steal something. Neither things have happened yet though 😀
Piano gets irritating after a few mins
Ah well can't please everyone. 😁
