こんにちは ! Thank you 😊 I don’t know Roger but subscribe to his channel . Very intrepid and the guru of dinghy cruising! Our boat is too small for 2 of us to sleep in hence the tent- great for our canoe adventures . Cheers , Steve

Fairly simple boats once the rig is set up properly as we’ve resisted the temptation to over rig them . ( like our Winklebrig’s !) If you’ve not sailed before a few days should to it 😃

@@johnskiahoy Thankyou so much for your kind relpy. I saw a boat maybe yours, where they let the wind push the sail to the mast. Is this a manoever to decrease speed? Or does it work as the sail is free?

If possible we like an anchor pulled up on a windward shore so the boats lay off -that way we can leave if the weather cuts up rough. In benign conditions we’ll lay the heavy boats off as we can easily drag the fibreglass luggers down the shingle. We love shingle and avoid the mud - one spot gets absolutely everywhere 😂

@@johnskiahoy Thank you ! Appreciated

@@maxflight777 Greetings from N.Y. state -,USA - Enjoyed your sailing trip . The boats flew though the ocean . I liked how well the sails work . Thank you . Have a good tour this year in sailing .

The gaff rigged Winklebrig “Genesta “ the wooden smacks boat WM4 and my slightly smaller fibreglass Maldon smacks boat .

@@johnskiahoy thanks for replying. Letting people know the names of the boats is the best way of getting more people into dinghy cruising. Took the plunge and am building an Ilur here in WA. Shipping container dirth has meant the source of decent Oregon has dried up here in Western Australia. Have been considering carbon fibre spars for a while, very useful to see what they are like.

Had to watch it again !! Chilli chorizo , Portuguese style with a few glasses of red wine 😋

@@johnskiahoy haha! Thanks!
