    Well done. You are well on your way towards completing a circumnavigation of Tassie in a cruising dinghy. The waves never look as big on video, I bet there was some serious sailing there. Looks like a fantastic journey. Thanks for sharing it.

      Hi Gary, mostly I only head out when the forecast is for less than 20 knots, so generally conditions are good. There was one alarming moment when a big set came through when I was in an unsurveyed section, and as it turned out close to some shallow rock.

      No, I just got my wife to pick me up at the boatramp down near Hells Gates.

      Came close to rocks in an unsurveyed area. Stayed out in the deep whenever I could after that. Otherwise a smooth trip.

    I think you have a bilge pump installed on the cockpit but I read it was self bailing, why is it so?

    • @thedinghyspart2474
      @thedinghyspart2474  11 місяців тому +1

      Yes, I've seen the Houdini referred to as self draining. But it's not self draining as far as I understood that term. The bilge pump is what was in the design.

    Is your hull shape a Whitehall skiff

    • @thedinghyspart2474
      @thedinghyspart2474  Рік тому +3

      I just googled Whitehall skill, and I'd say no, they are not alike. Whitehall is a narrow clinker construction. A Houdini is wider, with chines.
