    Another lovely production with some close quarters sailing and lovely music (it sounded almost like 'Norwegian Wood').

      Lovely, thank you so much for being a great support for the channel. Glad you enjoyed the close quarters sailing and all the other footage from the video. From Gene

    Well done. One of your best yet. Love how you stole his wind and then just grinned at them @16:32. Not competitive much??

      Thanks so much for the feedback! We have been talking a lot about shaping the stories to what the audience wants. I promise I wasn’t trying to be mean about the wind ;) after all, Luca was on the tiller… besides, isn’t it true that two boats, anywhere on the water result in competition?? ;)

    Oh wow, great to see a cheeky little Mirror and lovely Lugger joining you, 2 boats of my own heart there!! How did the LUgger fair against the Hartley and Mirror in fairer winds? She tends to need a bit of a blow to get moving!

      Aren’t they all gorgeous? The little Mirror and Piccolo (Springbank 15) did really well together. The Lugger definitely prefers heavier conditions! But the kids learnt how to heave to in order to let Scuppers catch up. Thanks for watching!

    I really enjoy your videos. You make it look so much fun. That's why I am also looking to add a dinghy sailboat to my boats for small lakes and rivers. Wish I could sail in your neck of the woods, but I am on the other side of the world (Florida). Happy sailing.

      Thank you so much! The kids were thrilled to hear that their adventures have reached so far away. Maybe one day you can visit Tassie! How wonderful that you are getting a dinghy. What are you thinking of getting?

      @@afloatinawoodenboat I haven't decided yet. I am looking at Walker Bay dinghy sailboat which is small enough to transport on the bed of a pickup truck and not need a trailer.

      I be a fibreglass Dinghy sailor in the PNW (OR). Found this channel on either Kate Louise or Lets go Sailing Tilda.

      That’s super cool! Another local! Have you found the fb group “Dinghy Cruising Tasmania”? We’d love to sail with you :)

      When confronted with a cabinet of that calibre, one could not find fault in indecisive behaviour, surely?! Truly the most loaded cabinet of biscuits I’ve ever seen. And it’s on a dockside fish and chip punt! You should’ve seen the cakes behind the counter.
