Hi Brandt, yes it works well. Just remember to be exactly head to wind as the battens can get caught in the lazy jacks when hoisting the main. All the best, Rob & Angie
@@sailingwithus5743 Hi Rob & Angie. I would like to get a sail boat and I seem to be drawn towards the lovely Bavaria model. May I ask how long have you been sailing and would you recommend a RYA course? All the best, Paul.
@@SCCFORUM Hi Paul, simple answer is yes to both questions. We prefer the older model Bavaria yachts, without opening a can of worms they have a better build quality! I've been sailing about 35 years and started with dinghies. Regarding RYA course, depending where you want to sail would depend on the course. Simply put tidal or non-tidal. Hope you achieve your dreams. Best wishes, Rob & Angie.
Nice! ALmost bought a Pearson P30 which oddly had a spinnaker furler instead of a standard rolling furler for the genoa.. not sure how that would have worked.
Hi Found at sea, thanks for your comment. The same system works with a code zero so there's a crossover point with different headsails. Happy sailing, Regards, Rob & Angie
Thanks for the comment. We make these posts just for fun. A new series will be in production soon. Do you have any particular topics you want us to cover? Best wishes, Rob & Angie.
Hi, I am new to your channel. I loved your EP-8, furling spinnaker as well as seeing how you attached the outboard to the bottom of your transom. I really like what you did with the removable mount. Did you just make it? or was there a kit you used to make it? and how did you attach it to the Transom? inside and out? Thank you very much. ;).
Hi Richard Kim and welcome to our channel. I don't know where you are in the world but I got the kit from Pacermarine here in the U.K Cost for the Auxiliary removable outboard shoe was £70-00 I made 'wooden parts' from teak offcuts and glued and screwed them together. It was fashioned in a wedge shape to make sure the motor was perpendicular to the water. To answer the method of securing to the transom, my old Bavaria is built like a battleship with very thick GRP throughout the hull. I simply bonded the outside with sikaflex and reinforced the inside with a backing plate and sandwiched it altogether with countersunk screws and nyloc nuts. Thanks for asking the question, best wishes Rob

That was lovely! The vacuum gag was fully funny!
Hi Mark, glad you enjoyed that gag. perhaps someone will invent a vacuum-less cord one day?
Your Jeckells two-part mains'l cover/lazy jack system is very clever.

Looks good. I used to work for jeckells not so long ago. Great working environment. Enjoy...
Thanks, this is the second boat I've kitted out with Jeckells sails. Good product!
Good comedy with the vacuum 😃Interesting channel.
All the best,
Paul.
Thanks Paul, just a bit of fun!

Lol just spat my Guinness all over my laptop. Vacume cleaner joke
Don't waste Guinness, it's harder to clean than dog hairs. As you see I don't take myself too seriously.
