Restored Wooden Lugger First Sail

First sail in our restored wooden sailboat. Designed by Paul Gartside., the boat is a clinker planked (lapstrake) day boat. She is fitted with a standing lugsail and unstayed mast. We sailed from Dell Quay to Itchenor and met the famous Major Mick in his homebuilt boat.

Your comment reminded me that I watch your channel but have not subscribed. Terrible of me. Fixed now. Don’t know how you find the time to make all those great videos.

Lovely boat. I'm a big fan of the traditional boats. I must say though, I'm starting to think the modern boats have a lot to offer. Young bucks like Major Mick are really doing a brilliant job of turning me on to the possibilities of new materials and designs.

Major Mick: a proper character.

Wonderfully first day! I’m hoping our first day will also be relatively calm!

[@WavingNotDrowning]

Yes. Was good to have calm water first time out.
