Thanks very much. The music is by the New Scorpion Band. I think they’re great.

@@robinstephens7177 Thanks, Robin. I just found them and they are excellent!!!

@@55longboarder Funny enough, the New Scorpion Band's music as actually featured quite a bit in SpongeBob SquarePants. In fact, Robert White did that flute tune you often hear at the Krusty Krab, "The Rake Hornpipe".

Thanks very much for your kind message Wayne. She’s pretty easy to rig. From being on the trailer with the mast down to rigging and launching takes probably about 30 minutes.

@@robinstephens7177 Thank you Sir. Appreciate the response. Just found one for sale 9hrs away from me, might make an impulse buy :)

Open your eyes. There are oar locks on both gunwales, and oars stored in the bilge.

ever heard of vol control?

I agree, would prefer to hear wind and water. Not just this video but all of them I have to turn the sound down or off, posters dont realise that one mans music is another mans/womans headache. In fact my wife used to know when I was watching a sailing video on account of the music and get irritatated that I might be about to buy another boat. Nice video though.

As a tallship rigger and sailor and singer of shanties I think the songs really enhance the videos.

Hi Kudret, Thanks for your message - nice to hear from you. Rainbow Aileen is a Drascombe Longboat. She is 21ft 9in (6.6m) long and 6ft 7in (2m) in the beam. You can find more details at www.drascombe.co.uk/drascombe-longboat-pr-53.php. I hope that helps. If you want to know more, just let me know. Kind regards, Robin

Peter, Thanks for your comment. I probably haven't gone about this in the correct way. I'm an amateur sailor having a bit of fun. I thought that when I originally published the video on RUclips there was some screening process to ensure that the music was OK to use. I'd be most grateful for any guidance as to what I need to do to make my video completely legitimate please. Thanks and kind regards, Robin

@@robinstephens7177 There are always some moaners out there! Is Mr.Mangold a musician on hard times or something? Get a life man! I bet he told tales to teacher at school......

@@robinstephens7177 Perhaps so, but a mate of mine with multiple album launches, under his belt, reckons there also is the fact that your music is getting air time it otherwise would not...

?

I hope you found it in the past 5 years! Google 'Coast of High Barbary'!

evanofelipe Hi There. You sent me a message some months ago regarding my video of launching my Drascombe Longboat. Apologies that it has taken me so long to reply. I think you have got the essence of the technique in your message. The key thing is to have very good lead and tension with a line from the bow onto the trailer to control the bow from tipping up too fast when the boat is winched back beyond the pivot point. This took a little practise to perfect. I use a climbing 'Munta hitch' onto a karabiner attached the the trailer and effectively 'belay' the boat as it is being winched back on the trailer. I hope that helps. I'd be interested to know whether you have tried this launch technique, and, if so, how it works for you. Kind regards, Robin

Robin Stephens Thanks Robin - its a neat idea and I was just interested in the practicalities of applying the 'reverse winch action' Cheers
