Locations of the raid and sometimes the history of some places along the way 4. That for you and your sailing colleagues, your joy starts when you start the sailing (This is just the best!) 5. That you camp along the raid, campfires, tents, sleep aboards and meals 6. That you share “guy banter”, gently, with kindness, sometimes generosity 7.

Thanks Papa Jeff for those kind words, we are just a bunch oy guys and gals just trying to have fun without selling anything, thanks again for watching, cheers Paul
You have a very stall-ward tough group of Skippers in your group Dave. Repairing masts on the go. Going to BBQ a little late with tiller n etc problems but got there. Plus that great increase blow n breaking wind waves to plow over n thru. Great 👍 video with awesome sailing n yummy bbq n so on. Cheers 🥂 Papa J
A month or two ago I was sitting at a restaurant in Setubal here in Portugal, having dinner. At the table next to mine were an Aussie couple enjoying the last day or so of their holiday. We got to chatting as English speakers in Portugal might, and it turned out that, as a young man, he had taken over an insurance business that his father had established, bought the old man out as it were, and built the business up substantially, at which recent point he had sold it off to some massive entity for a nice chunk of change. His problem at the time we were chatting was finding something to do...his Italian speaking missus was nodding in agreement ..he had no need to work again, and he was not elderly. I congratulated him on his success, and suggested he build a dinghy and take up dinghy cruising round...I think it was Perth, his hometown. Your channel made me think of the idea. I don't remember his name but I really hope he turns up in one of your videos one day......always lovely videos with great humour. Inspirational actually...makes me want to bog some plywood sheets together and make some funky thing to get out on the water in.
Thanks Geoff hopefully one day I will make it to Portugal, my surname is Portuguese (grandfather was from Lisbon) but I've never been there, thanks for watching, cheers Paul
21:25 Hi Paul Thank you for your great videos of dinghy sailing in Australia I used to sail a Pacer dinghy and a bosun dinghy here in the UK on the River Medway Chatham Kent I enjoy watching you and the lads having a great time on the lakes North of Sydney In particular the videos on Lake Macquarie What I like about your videos is the sailing locations and the onboard camera work which gives me the feel of being there with you all Beautiful keep it up Colin
Thanks Dale. Robyn started our group nearly 3 years ago but this was the first time I have actually sailed with him. He time has been taken up with another passion...flying.Thanks for watching, cheers Paul
Paul, PAUL - tell us more about KATE's gift! it looks perfect for what we do out there. I want to ditch my non-stick pan when it wears out but would have to have that perfect scrubber to switch to an aluminum pan. Thanks Paul & Kate! - great video to start the year off with!
Hi Rob, yes I've always used sand and water to scrub pans when camping or kayaking, which is probably not good for the surface. I think my daughter got the scourer from a camping shop not sure which.Thanks for watching again, cheers Paul
Actually I saw you from my parents living room on way back down toward summerland point - they’re at sunshine. Great episode Paul. Can’t beat the sand islands.
Thanks for another fantastic video Paul! I am coming to expect your excellence in filming and editing while always capturing the soul and spirit of sailing. Happy New Year everyone!! ...⛵⛵⛵
Looks like everyone did well in changeable conditions. Can’t wait to have a look around Lake Macquarie. Perhaps this will be the year I see you on the water?
Happy New Year Paul. I spotted you from a distance out in Kate Louise on the 28th about 14:30. We were Wednesday racing on an Adams 10.6. It was very windy indeed.Sailing on our gunwhales. You looked to be working in to the big nor easter very comfortably with just jib and mizzen. Great video
Hi yes it was a 'fruity day'. The Stornaway sails well as a yawl with just the genoa and mizzen and takes away the stress of sudden gusts. Thanks for watching, cheers Paul
Paul, I wonder if you and your fellow dinghy sailors have come across the stories of 2 fellow travellers? The first is a Latvian Australian Fred Rebell who sailed an open 18 footer across the Pacific. His book "Escape to the sea" is a great read if you can get it. There is a good entry for him in the Australian Biography, but his book is far better! The other is the story of the circumnavigation in a canoe, the Tilikum, built to a First Nations design in Canada. The stories might inspire your group to greater raids!
Hi thank you for that I will see If I can get a copy. I'm not sure our group are ready to cross oceans but we should be more adventurous. I have just got back yesterday from sailing the tall ship Duyfken from Sydney to Hobart for the wooden boat festival and back. All up about 4 weeks and had a fantastic time...sailing under the stars across Bass Strait. Give me a couple of weeks to put the video together. It will be on Sailing Duyfken on youtube. Thanks for watching, cheers Paul
Hi the boat trailer comes from a company in Perth. If you want their details email me at sailingkatelouise@gmail.com and I'll get the info off Pete, cheers Paul
Happy New Year Paul. You appear to have quite a lot of weather helm when the wind increased? Better than lee helm but can be hard work. Perhaps dropping the mizzen/brailling/reefing might cure it?
Depends on you budget and wether you are going to build or buy and where you are in the world. My picks would be 9 (with a cabin)- Pathfinder. Open boat- Bay Raider20 or CoreSound 17
Hi remind me in a few weeks , my daughter is overseas at the moment and I don't know where she got it( probably a camping shop)....but they are a great idea, cheers Paul
Another great video. I just had a thought and question. Dont you guys use anchor lights at night? I also don't see any navlights on any of the boats, I am guessing no night travelling. Just curious. Cheers from Canada
I think strictly speaking you should have anchor lights, but as dinghies often don't have a cabled mast the only option would be to raise a battery powered light, which some do. Thanks for watching, cheers Paul
Paul, you don’t have a boom on your boat it would appear. I’m not familiar with sailing. What type of rigging allows this? Sorry for such a basic question
Hi this rig is called a balanced lug sail and as I have 2 masts a yawl so a lug sail yawl. Traditionally fishing boats had this rig which was easier to control and quicker to raise. However the downside of not having a boom means it can't point as high.Thanks for watching, cheers Paul
You fellas are blessed to have many nice places to sail, also to do it in good company with a bunch of like minded people. You said the Paradox boat weighs half a ton (that's around 1100 pounds in old speak) that seems very heavy for such a small boat. It doesn't look that long and it's beam looks real slender, where does it get that weight from? How does it perform compared to similar sized boats in the armada? Gotta admit I love that Cygnet 20, that's the kind of boat I reckon ticks all the boxes for my liking. Thanks for the upload, always gives me inspiration to get to work on my boat and all round great feelings
Hi it's 640 Kg or 1400lbs, no keel so it relies on ballast to keep it upright. Lead and water ballast. It goes very well in heavy weather but not so fast in light winds. Thanks for watching again, cheers Paul
Yeah I like the Cygnet as well, Built just down the road from me, but at A$50-60 Thousand, a little out of my range at the moment. Edit... sorry it's 72,600.00 plus GST. boat only, trailer add another A$6,600.00 plus GST.
@@shanevillis4079 Yeah thats a ton of cash (near on $80,000 with tax) for a small trailer sailer unfortunately. The only alternative for me would be to build something similar, with a good designer you could build something that looks traditionally good like the Cygnet with fast underwater lines and a light weight lay up using modern materials.
@@SailingKateLouise What is the theory here with this boat, is it designed to be some type of micro offshore cruiser? For the sake of forgoing a keel for all that added weight confuses my simple mind. Or is it designed with heavy weather sailing in mind, you know designed for a certain area where it's always blowing hard. It has the correct name of Paradox, it confuses me when it comes to the attributes one usually looks for in a small trailerable sail boat
@@Antipodean33 Essentially it is designed for long distance single handed cruising in shallow waterways on the east coast of the USA. - hence no keel or centreboard. The designer Matt Laydon sailed the original all the way down the East Coast of the USA from Maine to Florida, has won the Texas 200 Challenge with it, and sailed from Fort Lauderdale to the Bahamas and back 21 times. Matt (a designer of large racing yachts) was inspired by NASA wingless flying body aeroplanes and figured if a plane can fly without wings, a boat can be designed to sail without a keel. It handles like a long keeled yacht - essentially steers itself - but without a keel or centreboard you can sail it full speed in 9 inches of water. I can, and do, cook meals on a gimballed stove while it sails. Paul is right - light weather is the Achilles heel but that is because it is undersailed (and the sail is way way too flat) as much as any other factor. I’m getting a new sail made that is fuller, slightly higher aspect and slightly larger to address that. But she goes well when it blows - I was first to the islands coming from a fair way behind (but to be fair a high performance larger boat like Steve’s Bayraider would have easily beaten me there if he hadn’t stopped at Wangi for lunch). And unlike the half drowned motley crew of exhausted sailors that turned up after me, I was bone dry complaining about some splash on my sunglasses, and eating an ice cream (I have a fridge/freezer on board) I made a tour of the boat video - ua-cam.com/video/JbuFpseAYHg/v-deo.html
Great VLOG how I wish I could join you. In a few weeks I will be visiting the boat building school here in France to finalise the design of my boat. The day after they will start the build five months six students lots of hard work and wood. I was going to call the boat HMS Adament as this was the ship my dad was assigned too in 1948. But I watch a documentary about a man called Eric Brown a true war hero. Hi nickname was Winkle which I think is a really good name for a little boat. What do you think?? The boat being built is an American cat boat 15 feet long with a 7 foot beam. These boat were used as Oyster boats the can bee used in very shallow water and are very stable.
Hi James I think Winkle is great. I have seen the American Cat boats on YT heaps of room for cruising. Send me some photos of the build when they start and thanks for watching, cheers Paul
Hi Greg, yes we have adopted the Code R flag. Which is confusing for some viewers in Sweden as it's also a regional flag there. Thanks for watching, cheers Paul

Good to see the Paradox representing. I just started building one. From Cold Ohio USA
Great George can you send me a couple of build photos to sailingkatelouise@gmail.com and thanks for watching, cheers Paul
@@SailingKateLouise I especially enjoyed seeing a Paradox too. How does it perform in relation to the more conventional boats?
Will do! I won’t have anything interesting for a month or so. Right now just plywood and 6 gallons of Epoxy bottles.
Here is a glimpse of what a Paradox is capable of. This is a very similar design 3.6m Enigma.
