A 50th anniversary celebration of the 1974 Swallows and Amazons film was held at the Windermere Jetty Museum on the 29th and 30th of June 2024.
The event featured screenings of the film, talks with original cast members, original memorabilia and props on display and of course the two dinghies from the film!
Original film Amazon and Mavis (the dinghy that inspired Amazon) were both available for visitors to take out sailing over the weekend, while original film Swallow was on display ashore, as she is awaiting restoration ready to also be available for hire (donations welcome!).

Trangia 25 Gas Burner Conversion | GoSystem Adapt Stove | Dinghy Cruising Galley Box

In this 'Galley Box Update' style video, I switch out the original meths spirit burner for a GoSystem Adapt gas burner, and modify the galley box slightly to accommodate it. After using the meths burner for a couple of seasons, I decided it wasn't ideal for my use. The lack of much temperature regulation and the issue of having to put my hand over the top of the flame to either adjust the tempe...

The chicks are now 2 months old, and almost fully feathered. It's now obvious which are hens and which are cockerels, and due to one chick being killed by a rat, we now have 3 hens and 3 cockerels, two of which are beginning to crow. Both parent hens have left the chicks but are still interested in them when they hang out in the garden. In fact one hen is already trying to hatch some more chick...

Drascombe Longboat Cruiser Oar Restoration
Sorry if i sound stupid but this is very similar to the fireball correct? Im working on one now and really could use some help with the rigging. I always sailed sunfish and hobir cats so this is really new to me! That boat is beautiful by the way! Im in process of fixing some seams and painting my whole boat inside and out!
Great series of videos. I used to sail Rockets when i was a teenager, 44 now and hoping to make a return to the class. Tossing around the idea of buying a modern MR or doing a restoration project… Thanks again
Out of interest: Did yo get galvanic corrosion betweeen the steel screws and the brass band or did the epoxy prevent this?
BisA ganti Laras call 5,5 atau 6,3? Terima kasih boss ku
I am the son of the penultimate owner (R.I.P.) of the Kalea, purchased in 1991 and resold to the current owner Mr. Tim Blackman in 2019. I had the honor of being in command of this wonderful sailing ship from 2004 to 2019, the year in which this masterpiece was sold by my family due to new needs that concerned our personal affairs. The yacht was a little low maintenance, but still sailed superbly. This is why Tim, trying it sailing in the Mediterranean, fell in love with it and moved it to the U.K. and brought it back to its former glory. Thank you Tim for taking on the baton of this wonderful story. I am deeply moved and I feel that dad is watching you with emotion and joy sailing from up there. The same emotion and pride that I feel, having saved this masterpiece from oblivion, handing it over to Tim who is still able to navigate and convey emotions. Thanks Tim, I love you and look forward to hugging you again. 
@@andreadilazzaro6186 That’s wonderful to hear, I feel very privileged to have been able to sail her and grateful to Tim for so generously sharing his beautiful yacht with us. I will pass your message on to him!
Awesome sailing Trip …. I love this boat class singe i meet a guy in Danmark who sail a Collyn Archer Replica. We sit together in the evening and Drink Wiskey and Talk the hole Night. I will Never forget this …
Hola
Bang fer nya ada jual ngak
Hello! Thank you for sharing your work with us! You did a an amazing job planning and then building the box! I have a question however: does your trangia get enough oxygen for burning in the position it is? I have noticed that my trangia is “choking” sometimes even though it is not in a box. Probably in my case the reason is that I am not using original trangia pans etc and they cover the top section of the stove with very little space left for creating sufficient drag.
Thanks! Never had an issue with the Trangia choking, but I did get a bit fed up with the lack of control using meths as fuel, so switched to the gas burner option.
God bless you all !
I have to admire the finish on the wood. I am just about to start renovating my old GRP GP14 and trailer. It has been laid up for at least 15 years. Now I am inspired.
i am doing the same with an old enterprise similar to the gp14 however the boat is so old (and built of mahogany) that all the wood is now extremely dark😂
Beautiful! Makes me want to do the same.
Thank you so much Corin - wonderful memories to last❤
As child in the 70ties, the Mirror dinghy was my favorite little boat i loved to sail it.
Thank you for this. Just about to service my father's old BSA rifle 😊
That's in pretty order!
does anyone know what the boats origiginal colour ral no is?
Chickens are hard wired to do all the chicken things. I have raised a little sablepoot on her own because she was the only egg to hatch from the dozen in the incubator. She is now 10 months old and does all the normal chicken things without seeing another chicken.
She is so beautiful. I'd love to sail her.
Gorgeous looking boat.
So you cleaned JACK SHIT and left the iron particles in there? You must be effing joking right? Now take it apart and do it right this time! 😂
Did not know it was a music video.
Beautiful music 😊 and great camera skills.
Great choice of color, I also painted my gp14 that same toplac Atlantic grey. I must of made a mistake in the prep though as it wore away quite easy.
Wow! What a beautiful boat. One of the sexiest ive seen. Its almost right upnthere with an ac40. Having said that though, i was sickened by the bouyancy bags, amount of control lines, and the spinnaker poles. She looked so beautiful naked. Nice job on the restoration.
The “classic” Merlin like 3387 has fairly minimal controls compared with the latest boats - they have an elaborate system for mast raking one continuous line for raking fore or aft, but a complete rat’s nest under the foredeck to keep the shroud and forestay tensions correct. But, lovely responsive dinghy to sail…
@@colinprice712 I'm not a fan of the modern merlin, they look plastic and cheap.
So how did it feel corin?
Nice job corin (interesting name). Ive just bought a _solo_ (which is very similar to your gp) and noticed the 2 rectangular holes in the transom. What the hell are they? Im assuming theyre to remove water from the cockpit. However, on yours, you seem to have them permanently sealed. Mine were flaps that were attached to a bungee located in the cockpit.
Yes they are transom drains to allow water out of the cockpit. No idea why mine were screwed on so I removed them and replaced with bungee retained ones as you describe. See 10:20 onwards for fabrication of new adjustable flaps and 13:38 onwards for a picture of the bungee holding the flaps on.

Great music to accompany a great video
Sorry to be critical, but you really have to clean everything Spotless before you reassemble and apply new lubricant.

Beautiful! Money well-spent.

Fantastic work. I'm about to start on a Sabre (Australian design dinghy) which is older but in better condition. Thanks for the inspiration.
What is your sail number? Mine is 733. Not in bad nick just started doing some repairs. Cheers. 🇦🇺👍🍺🍺
I like the bgm
the pancake flip at 12:23 brought tears to my eyes, great job
lovely video, scrumptious scenery. invite me next time
Fabulous Pilot cutter meets a fabulous Gaff Cutter off Zone indeed. On a fabulous day for sure. The drang , a famous collapsed cave around these parts, was the scene of some rather good acting too.

Very proud (mostly jealous) of you guys :)

I landed here because i just bought an old wooden dutch dinghy that needs a lot more work than I realised and i was looking for a 'how to'... i have zero experience with this kind of work... but your video definitely serves as the perfect inspiration. Great work 👍
Lolololoololololololololol I think we are in the same boat, pardon the pun. I just bought a _Solo_ which is very similar to Corin's GP. Like you, it needs alot of work...... and I mean ALOT! Cracked (in multiple places) rudder, separated gunwales (both sides), rotten mast step, water ingress in a few places, all sheets need replacing, and the trailer and trolley need tlc! I live in a van in the bush and most of the work I'll be doing will be in open space in a friend's backyard. I'll be posting crappy vids of my progress. How is your rebuild going?
I'm just here for the music 😂
Main halyard needs tightening. Creases in luff slow you down!!! Capt John.
Yes! You don't have to horse it down, just smooth it out. signed old GP sailor
