@@jasoncarbis7751 thank you Jason! I will definitely look that up. It certainly was going well! A lot better than us with a dirty hull and novice skipper 🤣 👍

@@WavedancerWesterlyfulmar 🤣 absolutely the bottle is the most important ☝️🙈 Yes it’s a simple set up but works very well. We were advised to have another bar in the middle ‘to stop sagging’ but it seems to be fine for us and this cover is around 10 years old. We have just had a refurb and can now see out of the windows 🤣🤩

@@AJS87 thank you my dear! Xxx

@@sailingbluedawn thank you, that’s lovely to hear! It was a great trip. I love those early starts 🙏👍

@@SCCFORUM thank you so much for watching and your kind comment! And to you and yours! 👍

@@paddyfore thank you mate. I thought it had an eastern feeling, I’ve seen a similar sail before but never what looked like a modern yacht with a mast at the bow! It went well 👍

@@Thesailing_chef supposed to be great sailing with a Junk. No stays on the mast. On a beat they're not great.

@@paddyfore it looked like they were having fun for sure 👍

@@daviddiluvicusor thank you so much for watching and taking the time to comment David! The hunter sounds great! We are still trying to figure out where to direct the channel but have found documenting our journey fun to do and look back on! Absolutely.. after the last few weeks of sanding, anti foul and polishing the hull there’s no gym needed 🤣🙏

@@paddyfore No mate they were a little bit further up on the crouch about 0.4m up from Burnham 👍 (the evening mooring) and the day time were just outside the entrance to Fambridge Marina.

Ah love watching your sailing outings what a lovely way of life... The best sunsets always! Lillia getting more and more comfortable on her boat every time!! Lots of love to you all xxx

@@AJS87 thank you my dear! It has its challenges for sure but the rewards are superb! Hope you, Nic and the little man are all well xxxxx

@@AdventureNow thank you both. It was a great weekend on the crouch! Indeed you can’t miss that spotless craft! Have a great trip to the east! 👍❤️

Thank you for watching and your kind comment 👍

You are right on both counts 😃🙏 she loved being out there.. just need to keep an eye on her as she’s keen on eating the jib sheets.. 🙈

We had a great time thank you Nadia. It’s a lovely marina. 🙏😃

Excellent 👌 it certainly was, we said the same.. picked the best weekend of the year so far! Indeed she is, it’s crazy how fast the first year she’s going! Got to get her hauled out soon and get that bottom cleaned!!

Yes, they are in Portland Marina still living on Sleepy Shores. Both doing great and have a bulldog now called Popeye! Kaz and Nev are both on Facebook with updates regularly 👍

Thank you Mike! What a lovely comment and thank you for taking the time to write and watch. She is a great boat (as are the Westerly’s, similar ethos and era!) Need to give her some tlc soon and also hoping to do a few trips if the weather sorts its game out soon! I feel it’s coming though. Thanks and again and keep in touch 👍🙏

@Thesailing_chef Thanks for the reply mate, Great to see your daughter getting involved too bless her, it's fantastic growing up on the water as a kid, gives you a real sense of freedom and midset to explore life...take care all of you and happy sailing..

@@Mikeford-iu7xi Absolutely mate. Got to show her the joys of the world and life’s always better on the water 👌 well unless we’re smashing some short chop on the east coast of England.. 😬🤣 Take care 👍

Love it 🥰

Hi there, thank you! good question, with a clean hull she will do around 5-6kts at about 2500 rpm. We’ve got a 2 blade fixed prop so probably not the most economical but is plenty for the boat. She’s comfortable around 2400-2700 rpm. 👍 Currently she needs a clean so is doing around 4kts flat out at 3000 🤣

Fair enough, it can be substituted with baking paper or just straight in a tin, it just makes the handling easier 👍

She’s definitely getting there, we will get her on fender duty soon enough 😉😂, that’s great it’s definitely a new challenge to contend with but taking baby steps with her aboard. (No pun intended) I hope you are well!

Indeed she is Pete! Quite scary how quick the time goes! Can’t wait to get her on the winches 🤣👍🙏

Thank you I appreciate that🙏 it was a great day out. Always nice to be out on the water! Thank you for watching and commenting 😃

Hi Jamie, thank you for watching and taking the time to comment. We live an hour away (50mins - 1hr depending on traffic) and find it fine. Its not to much out the way to go for a day sail or to ‘pop to the boat’. With regards to checking on the lines etc I do always pop over every week or 2 if we haven’t been out but to be honest the marina staff are fantastic and do daily checks on all boats, even more so if the weather is bad or forecast bad. It’s honestly the best thing we’ve done. So nice to be on the water and have a ‘home from home’. Any questions just ask 👍 Ps as you may have seen we were in Ipswich haven marina before and the lock was a drag for the day sails, that would sometimes take longer in and out than driving to the boat! Where are you thinking of going?

Oh wow, that's very reassuring to hear! It was nice to see that the marina staff added a fender during the storms - not something that I was aware of. Looking at getting on the waiting list at pin mill or suffolk yacht harbour. Very good point re. the locks - I like shotley's location, but the lock is an additional challenge and time drain. Really appreciate your quick response - found your 1 year of boat ownership video incredibly useful, down to earth and again reassuring. Just need to commit now 😁

@@44Jamie91 go get it mate! Yes pin mill you’ll have the tidal restrictions (I am sure you’re aware) Suffolks nice, just the wrong side of the river for us as it adds the travel time. Let us know when your about and I am sure we will catch up on the water 👍 Very good to hear it was of use!

Thank you, I know we maybe biased but she is a little beauty! Can’t wait to get her on the helm 👌👍❤️

Thank you 🙏 many years of chopping to perfect 👌 😃

Thank you 🙏 🤣 yes we’ve worked fast there! She certainly is and for daddy another mouth to feed! 🙄🤣 Thank you for watching and for taking the time to comment!

Excellent feedback Rob thank you and noted! I did think that was the case! Will try and balance this out going forward. Thank you for watching as always and for taking the time to comment. 👍🙏

Thank you 🙏 absolutely! I’m a lucky man indeed! 👍

Absolutely, it’s a lesson learnt for sure. It’s always the first one I take off now 🤣👍

Excellent! I’ll keep an eye out! That’s great work. The experience is everything and still learning every time! 👍

Thank you for watching! Yes I love watching this sort myself!! Raw and real! Indeed we do and she’s keeping us very busy indeed 🤣. Can’t wait to get back out there!

I concur Bob. It’s one thing being alone but I will never risk my families safety. 👍

Thank you so much for watching. Yes always fun to see the local areas I find also. Hoping to get out and about and filming again very soon to get some more videos about! 👍

Thank you. 🙏 I am not to sure as it came with the boat. I think it was done by dolphin sails as that’s the name on the spray hood but may have been someone else. We need to replace it as it’s seen better days but will use for a template for a new one. It’s all held by one arch bar which is simple and zips to the spray hood. Let me know if there’s anything else you need to know 👍

Hi David! Yes it’s quite similar just less on the eggs with the potatoes 👍 Really pleased you enjoyed it, it’s a great little recipe and you can mix it up with other additions. Spices, chilli’s, bacon etc 👍

😂 a big portion waiting Pete!

Thank you 🙏

Fantastic, congratulations guys!

@@themexicannon thank you 🙏

Thank you both very much. It’s been a crazy 7 weeks so far but I can say that we have now had lots of practice with shift work for those longer passages 🤣 🙏

Thank you Lee. Absolutely but lots of prep with the lack of sleep for some longer passages 🤣 we’ve got shift work sorted now 👍👌😁

Thank you, I had a great day. Thank you for watching 👍

Wow that sounds like a great trip! Thank you and have a great time 🙏

Absolutely.. it’s very much like cooking in a normal kitchen but with no space to move or put things 😂👍 well on my boat anyway!

Thank you sir! Witam!!

​@@Thesailing_chef

Thank you so much for taking the time to write. All fantastic advice and will certainly take on board.(quite literally) She is here safe and well and arrived two weeks ago. We popped out for a short day sail last week which went well and I think I feel much better now she’s here. We have got a carrier and thought that maybe the best option also 👍. Very much looking forward to a longer trip but need to catch up on some sleep first 🤣🤦‍♂️ I will certainly check out your page 👍

Thank you sir 🙏

Thank you Pete! Yes was the right thing to do on the day and with the crew for sure. I’ll have a look at that! I am not sure. I may have the sensitivity turned up to much as I know you can control that. It was also a lot more rolly than the camera gave credit for as always but worth looking into for sure 👌 👍

😂 absolutely Rob! Got to get used to them for the hot climates 👍 It’s 4K / and can do 5k as a camera but unfortunately to get over buying a new computer I have had to downgrade the footage to 1080 to edit it together. It’s quite the process rendering every video before editing 🤦‍♂️ got there in the end though. 👍 it’s a great piece of kit. Most impressed with the mic attachment. I was out in 15/20kts at the weekend and just filming another ‘raw sail video’ and virtually no wind noice at all in full brunt of the elements 👍

Thank you both very much! Due any day now so playing the waiting game! 😬🙏

@@Thesailing_chef ah how exciting. Blessings to you all

@@WavedancerWesterlyfulmar 🙏

👍Yes I do prefer Dijon too. but unfortunately the boat stock had not been replenished 🙄

Definitely next time. We’ve been before and it’s lovely. Crazy Diamond lived there for a number of years with the previous owner 👍
