Nice idee 👌
Put me in the game coach! That looks awesome, thanks for sharing.
Awesome ❤
Looks a bit easy, Let us know when you want a real challenge
Challenge accepted! Drop us an email... and maybe Ben can hook up with you for some sliding seat action! marketing@allenbrothers.co.uk
Wow Great sharing my friend watching here from Boracay island Phillipines and I'm a Sailor also here i have a Sailing Boat 😊😊hope to see you in my video's😊😊
Thanks for watching!
Very envious. When I started sailing in 1971 I was in awe of the eighteens on Sydney Harbour but I have never been lucky enough to sail on one. Obviously different safety requirements in Europe as not a PFD in sight.
None of the sailors wear buoyancy aid's due to the chance of entrapment under the wings and sails etc. If you are unlucky enough to get caught underneath something you can then swim down and out to escape, rather than being forced up into the netting/ sails!
That looks way more fun than a Flying Scot.
Great first person video. Love it!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!
👍💪
can i try next?
sure, why not!
Ha ha, this is now so outdated it is hilarious.
@@stephenjames674 time for an update? It’s only been six years… 😅
I am so excited about this.
Typical dinghy video. Wind noise and product pumping.
Thanks for the feedback - we'll see what we can do about the wind noise in the future. As for the product pumping... well of course. How else do we sell our products without showing them off?
Where i can buy that Pulley and I'm from Philippines by the way

I don’t know how I got here lol but what in the world is this for please - and great job from a fastening perspective
This is an example of how to attach a pulley to one of our mouting points using rope. In this specific application the pulley is being attached to a boom through which a rope will run to control the sail that is mounted on the boom.
Hi! Will be great if you can share how to rig the Allen Dog Bone in Dyneema as an eye splice as stopper for the sprit system. Thanks
We have a guide on how to use Dog Bones here - www.allenbrothers.co.uk/2022/01/13/how-to-use-sailing-dog-bones/
Yes, that’s nice but how do you install it to a boat that it is actually practical?
Thanks for the comment. You raise a valid point and maybe we should make an installation video.
looked amazing well done christian birrel on the bullet then what were you doin for the BfD LOL
What a beautiful boat. I used to love team racing in Merlins in my youth. My 2nd favourite racing dinghy after the Osprey.
Smooth
Thanks for your support Allen, not only of my own sailing, but of the events like this which underpin the UK dinghy racing scene!
Thanks, Mozzy! It's a pleasure as always!
Congratulations Tom and Guy!................now, 37th Americas Cup videos please Mozzy, big week in the offing!
@@chrismartin5870 keep watching this space
Too complex for me
If you have any further questions. Just let us know!
Hey guys. Thanks for the material. Can this be used on a sail to make a Cunningham or reefing cringle a bit more attachable?. Do they come in those sizes? I don’t find that lines running through the sails cringles are friendly to use, especially on bigger boats. Additionally I have a thimble topic to look at and you guys sell what seems to be the best priced thimbles I have seen yet. I’m yet to order some to see what they are like but they look good from the images and spec. The thimble topic is this. Use thimbles as blocks. We have newish materials available so the friction and wearing out of the center line can be dramatically reduced. The suggestion is that a soft shackle holds the thimble but going through the center. Possibly with the little bit of line sheathing to protect it. The running line is then passed around the outside of the thimble. Because it’s on the outside, the friction loading is reduced dramatically compared to running it through the middle. Considering the price of your thimbles and the load these thimbles can take, this really could become a sailors go to block unless extra silky smooth running is needed.
No problem Frederick! We havent tried using the Pad-Tii on a sail. Firstly, you would need to make sure the Pad-Tii is nice and tight in the crinkle and then work out a way to stop it from coming undone, the flapping of a sail is likely to shake the Pad-Tii loose. (We recommend the Pad-Tii is held in place with a sealant or bonding agent when fixed to the hull of a boat.) Regarding High Load Thimbles, check out our guide to using them here - www.allenbrothers.co.uk/2021/11/18/high-load-thimbles-why-when-where/ High load thimbles are not a direct replacement for every block and pulley on the boat. Simply put, they are LOW friction rings and not NO friction rings. The way you suggest rigging the high load thimble does not nessercerly reduce friction. As there is more contact with the rope and the thimble surface. Feel free to contact us via email if you have any more questions :)
When you see the amount of work, investment in machinery and skills - the retail price seems extremely reasonable!!
🙌
Very cool
Thanks!
PLEASE NOTE - 30MM BLOCK HAS BEEN UPDATED TO AN A2030F. THIS BLOCK DOES NOT HAVE A BECKET, SO INSTEAD, TIE THROUGH THE MIDDLE HOLE OF THE BLOCK.
Audio Doesn’t work on certain iPhone headphones either
thanks for the feedback. The audio works on desktop. Sorry we haven't got this sorted.
That looks like "Nancy's China" by Sam Devlin? Nice job! 😁👍
That's some skill
Hi Dylan.. great guide. What traveller block is that for the mainsheet?
The traveller block used in this video is 1 x A2020Tii (20mm Tii on block) & 1 x A2030Tii (30mm Tii on block). The blocks have been tied back to back to create a low profile, light traveller block.
Great, thanks
Nice instructional. Thank you.
Mozzy sent me here.
good! We hope you enjoy our content 😃
great Brand ALLEN
Thanks Maurice!
An incredible idea Yee, I learnt lots how to build boats from amusingwoodworking com
Damn! Just said price! Doh!
How much does it cost ?
Lots
Is your Cunningham and outhaul kit class legal, thanks
Yes! You can find a complete list of class legal laser parts from us at - www.allenbrothers.co.uk/about-us/tuning-and-technical/laser-fittings-guide/
@@AllenBrothersfittingsLtd Great! thanks
also just to let you know on WWW.westcoastsailing.com they sell your outhaul and cunningham kit and on they're website it says it is not class legal
Is the mast retention line done correctly? With so much slack the mast could slide out after a capsize and break the deck or mast step tube as you right the boat. I know the cunningham and outhaul would probably prevent it but what's the point of mast retention line with 15cm slack?
Good question! The mast retention line can be adjusted so that it is as tight as you need it to be. This is just a simple guide on how to attach it, but we do recommend its as tight as you can get it. this will then prevent what you mention.
After installing the Cunninham and Outhold I have one short dyneema left, what is it for? Thank You
The shortest peice is used as a clew tie for the sail. We did not show this in the video, appolgies.
@@AllenBrothersfittingsLtd Thank You, I am set but wind today is 1 MH
The video is nice, but the kit have three red Dynnema, two are almost the same size which one should I use? Thank You
The longest piece is used for the Outhaul part of the pack. The next length is used for the Dyneema part in this guide. The remaning shortest peice is/ can be used as a clew tie for the sail.
After few time, I finally set this up, but how do I put it on the boat, what is the two vang keys for? Thank You
Some sailors like to have both of the vang keys attached to the top block so that if one was to break during a race they could quickly insert the other into the boom bracket. The lower vang unit attaches to the mast bracket by removing the bolt and nut and reinserting. You can see the Vang unit installed in the following video - ruclips.net/video/kG4kK7BCz3Q/видео.html We also have some tips about Laser hardware on our site www.allenbrothers.co.uk/about-us/tuning-and-technical/laser-fittings-guide/
@@AllenBrothersfittingsLtd Amazing, I will order the Outhaul/Cunningham Kit, I like the quality and explanations. Thank You
@@VivaElMole no problem! Both kits are available directly from our website or you can get in touch with your local Allen stockist.
Thanks so much for taking the time and put this together. Any chance you can do also a rigging guide?
Thanks for your feedback. We are glad you enjoyed the video. There is a Team Allen approved fitout guide for a 49er & 49erFX in the following link www.allenbrothers.co.uk/about-us/tuning-and-technical/49er-fitout/ We will see about doing a basic rigging guide.
Could you provide the line measurements?
Hi Harry, In the A8332 pack, you receive the following; 600mm of 4mm Dyneema 4700mm of 4mm Dyneema 1000mm of 5mm Dyneema 620mm of 4mm SP12 920mm of 4mm SP12 1710mm of 4mm SP12 1000mm of 5mm Shockcord
Thanks for the great video of how you make a block that you cannot service! I'll stick with my Lewmar.....
Hi Nick, Making a serviceable tie on block would increase the weight and size of the block. The A2060Tii is designed to be lightweight and compact. It also wont need servicing because we use stainless steel balls on a stainless steel race. Simply washing the block with fresh water will keep the sheave and bearings running smoothly.
