Wierd isn't it...thank you for the compliment. Glad you enjoyed it 😊

Thanks Pete. It does the job 😆

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 .

Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it

You are welcome

You are most welcome. Sorry I can't do any more at the moment....for obvious reasons. Stay safe and well

Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it. more coming out in next few months

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

Thank you. More will follow as soon as lockdown is lifted 😀

Thank you. Very kind. Treluggan is a lovely yard

doesn't get much better does it - thanks Fredrick

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.

Aah. Thanks Pebe - kind comment. Hope you enjoy the others in the series as well. Take care now Steve

You are welcome Geoff. Some great sailing waters up your patch so enjoy. Stay in touch let me know what boat you get

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

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 😄

thank you - dinghy cruising is brilliant fun

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

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

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 KZfaq 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.

Thank you Sir. I will try that.

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!

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

Thank you. Done for when I am too old to sail 🤣

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

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 😁😁😉😆

good - glad you enjoyed it :)

You are welcome

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!

@@jeebs3000 cheers bud

Was boating world now treluggan.....and thanks. Glad you enjoyed it

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 :-)

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

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????

Oh mine follows me . It also has a mind of its own as well 🤣

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

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 😀
