Oh harsh, there are some very good Australian craft beers now, not like the old days of Tooheys and V.B. The Stella was on special, thanks for watching, cheers Paul
@@SailingKateLouise thought the same thing, luckily i got to enjoy Roger one day, and Paul another day, spreading the peace for longer. Thanks Paul! But wtf Ohio, eh? Cheers from Wisconsin.
Thanks Pat. Yes we are lucky having great inland sailing so close to Sydney, no need to go offshore. Checkout the other videos on the playlist there are about 50, cheers Paul
I love watching your videos Paul and you have me presently saving for a dinghy of my own. I made myself a canoe over lockdown and I'm planning to make a sail for her, but something big enough to sleep on is my plan. Thank you so much for the inspiration. Steve Wilson UK
My pleasure Stephen if were in Sydney you could join us. I have a windpower sail for my kayak, it works well. Check out myplacestopaddle on youtube and thanks for watching, cheers Paul
I just discovered your channel, and it’s fantastic. I cruise on a little 21 foot Aquarius 21 that’s been heavily modified for long range cruising and love the small boat world. I’m a word away and probably will never get to join you guys in person but keep the videos coming. You can see my little Sweet Pee on my channel Jean Mondeau. Thanks for sharing your travels.
@@SailingKateLouise I’m currently cruising the USA and next month I’ll be in Baja California (but on another boat). You can see Sweet Pee on my RUclips channel under my name. And I’ll try and learn how to send photos. I’m not that good at it yet. I’m learning slowly.
I keep saying it but you really do make excellent videos Paul. They are very relaxing too...... It's such a shame that everything is so restricted these days and that's one of the joys of your videos; the freedom. I was staggered to hear of the Ohio restrictions.... I thought the UK was bad. I'll bet there is no charge for using the slipways in your area. Here it can cost £20 or so to launch and recover unless you are launching at your own club. Crazy world.
Thanks Stefan. Yes we are really lucky about with our free boat ramps and great places to sail....normally with good weather. Yes the Ohio thing stunned me as well, I can't remember what the fine is but it's quite a lot, a viewer informed me. Thanks for watching, cheers Paul
Another great video and adventure, very immersive as always I feel rejuvenated like I've spent a day out in the water! So excited for you in volunteering, what a great opportunity and you'll be such an asset to the crew. What a beautiful weekend out on the water, thanks for taking us along for the ride.
Thanks mate, the joy of sailing is all about the gentle sound of rippling water against the hull as you head towards your journey's destination... but sometimes I would like to get there a bit faster, thanks for watching , cheers Paul
I really do enjoy your sailing adventures I have a Skipper 17 day sailer (no cabbin) which I use to camp on and your right about parking in England I also go kayaking and wild camp along the rivers which is great fun. Looking forward to your next adventure.
Thanks Ken, check out my kayaking adventures on myplacestopaddle on RUclips and send me a photo of your Skipper 17, cheers Paul sailingkatelouise@gmail.com
I’m interested in, if / how you solve the heeling over, taking on water problem. Maybe increasing ballast, maybe increasing the weight of your center board, maybe releasing the jib or main sheet to dump the gusting wind, maybe moving to the boat’s high side, maybe some combination? Heh, heh, taking on water is no joke. Thanks for sharing your adventure…from east Tennessee.
Hi Jeff unfortunately I don't have a centre board, so I'm reliant on the 90 kgs of ballast in the skeg keel to keep me upright and easing the main sheet a big quicker, cheers Paul
The photo section looks like a feature that will run for quite a while, I like it. What you were saying about the no sleeping on board and no trailers overnight seems to be part of the growing trend of negativity councils have towards any enjoyment we have. I have been looking on Google maps for places to put in around the Kent coast and it is not easy to find anywhere. I think it may be telling that the DCA has no presence around here too. Crewing The Dovekin sounds like a fantastic experience, congrats on that. The season is definitely changing to autumn over here now, still, we can enjoy your spring and summer.
Thanks Dale. Yes someone from the old country told me it was $40 to launch unless you were at a club. I've been seeing a lot of Pomp and Circumstance with the funeral footage and the weather looks good. Thanks for watching, cheers Paul
Hi Paul, I was the Mate for 9 years on the Alma Doepel which is a F/A ship with square on the foremast. All I can say to you is ask ask ask questions and remember you are already ahead of of other as you know your P AND S . Don’t try and remember everything. Just remember a couple of things every time you go on it and build from there. This is what I did and before long I knew more then other who had been there for years. Also ask then to send you a pin diagram. If you don’t know what that means you will. It tells you where all the lines are made fast to. All the best.
Paul, Derrick's Newfoundland Sail punt is quite beautiful - Own design! Hope to see more of that boat in Small Craft Advisor, or I'll have to look and see if she's been in any other magazine! Thanks for all your time spent creating entertainment for us soon to be winter bound.
Hi Rob the Newfoundland punt was designed and built by Derrick Burry in Newfoundland, based on local fishing boats. Strip planked fibreglass finished in oak. More info at Wooden Boat Museum Newfoundland, cheers Paul
I’ve watched several of your videos and have to say the quality is superb. The effort you put into camera angles and editing is great. They would not look out of place on TV.
Thanks Mike, the videos can take up to 4 days to put together, stabilising and grading each shot. But I enjoy doing it as well as the sailing.Thanks for watching, cheers Paul
Another doozy! Great cruising for small vessels! 👍Disaster if you left the beer behind! You can live for thirty or so days without food but only a very short while without liquid refreshment! 😂😂😂😂
Just found your channel; love it! To give a bit of clarification on the Ohio rules; that ONLY pertains to waters within state parks. Reservoirs, large lakes, navigable rivers, and the Great Lakes do not fall under those restrictions.
Thanks for another lovely production. I recall being knocked over by a sudden gust on Pittwater in my 28ft yacht - a tub of yoghurt flew from the galley to the lee cabin side. But I have wondered whether some of the the Ellyard designs are a bit lightly ballasted,
Hi Andy yes I only have 60 kg in the skeg keel but obviously more weight when I go away for longer 40kg wood, water, etc. But the newer Stornaways will have more ballast. Thanks for watching cheers Paul...ps I hope the yoghurt didn't make too much of a mess!
LOL.... Didn't need the free plug for the RAID stubby holders, Paul, but rest assured, Josh has one with your name on it for you to collect at Myall Lakes! Another excellent video. Keep up the good work!
I did the same for my Esky, but I also drilled holes in the top flange and pumped foam in down the sides of the Esky. When I drilled the holes I found the void was very loosely packed with string like foam. After filling it and making it solid foam it worked much better.
How cool is that!! Watching your video all the way from the other side of the world, only to see an image of my own boat. Thanks for posting and producing yet, another wonderful video. Derrick, Newfoundland, Canada
@@SailingKateLouise Thank you Paul. While you're checking out WBMNL, check this link to find an article about the boat I built. The mizzen was added sometime later than the writing of this article. Here's the link: woodenboatmuseum.com/wp-content/uploads/Volume-5-Issue-1-March-2014.pdf
I went on the Duyfken when she was in Perth. They were looking for crew as night watchmen and sleep on the boat overnight while berthed. I later spent a week on the Leeuwin 180ft Barquentine and later offered a job as a Boatswains mate ( looking after a dozen teenager's chipping and painting for 3 months in Dampier WA volunteer work)
Well done, it's a whole new adventure for me, my first sail will hopefully be next month....learning the pin chart....there's a lot of sheets, thanks for watching again, cheers Paul
You are defiantly getting better Paul. I like how your shots are still not moving all over the place like other videos. Easy to watch. Great story lines and what a great idea bringing in other boats from all over the world. I could imagine you traveling around Australia doing videos of various places on the famous Kate Louise.
Thanks Ross for those kind words, just sharing the love with like minded people..., any story suggestions more than, it's hard to keep them interesting and different , thanks for watching again, cheers Paul
The Duyfken (replica) was built in Fremantle supervised by very experienced wooden vessel shipwright Bill Leonard who had built many wooden vessels before Duyfken . It is a very interesting design apparently being very seaworthy.
Let's hope so my first sail is this Thursday. Last week's sail got called off due to heavy rain. Busy studying the pin diagram, Thanks for watching, cheers Paul
I really enjoy your videos, good luck with crewing on the square rigger, sounds like a fantastic adventure. I think I'll try your cooler modification to keep the beer cold. Looking forward to the 9 boat RAID.
Thanks Greg, the beer cooler hack really works, also make a silicon gasket around the lid by putting a line of silicon and letting it dry before closing. This will make it airtight and also a blanket out of the windscreen reflective material, adds even more insulation. I've also done this with my bigger cool box(which holds more beer!) Thanks for watching, cheers Paul
@@SailingKateLouise Good idea with the silicone gasket to make it air tight. I noticed the top cover you had looked like one of those windshield covers to keep sun from baking the dash. I think I have at least one or two of those lying around the garage somewhere, now I can put it to good use. Happy sailing.
Great video Paul, strange to see our boat in your video , lovely to see there are similar boats out there on the other side of the world , keep up the fantastic videos all the best Jo and Mark
Ouch those motor boats are painful. Great sailing otherwise, and nice cooler hack! Happy spring from the states, where fall begins! Digging the extra content and different boats that viewers have.
Great video. As always, I like them very much. Love the photosection (will send one of my own boat) and what a great thing to look forward to: sailing on the Duyfken!
Hi Glenn, it really happened....so annoying, it always pays to keep a dried dinner aboard somewhere, but I don't know how old it was, thanks for watching, cheers Paul
I'm just getting into sailing, learning on my kayak, and now "cheaply " to my wife's dismay, rigging my old 14' tinny to sail. Thanks for the tips on wind gusts, I thought something was doing that on purpose to get me off the water!
Wonderful video Paul - the history and esky optimisation were excellent inclusions. Hope to see you down there soon as I'm close to getting the boat on water. Hope they finish that sea wall works soon they seem to have been doing that for years! Prescient point about camping restrictions given the draconian proposals going through the Victorian parliament this week - maybe we need to start organising some push back for camping dinghies!
Hi I talked to the construction crew and it will be another 4 weeks....but there is no intention to put rubber fenders on the wall and the sandstone corner will definitely hole a boat when the wind gets up...go figure. Thanks for watching, cheers Paul
My boat, an old (plywood) Mirror dinghy is more or less in ship-shape, if scruffy, but not quite ready for cruising yet ( not sorted out a tent/sleeping setup yet).! The skipper still needs some refurbishing too! The pair of us would like a bit warmer weather too! Still figuring out if I need a winch to get the boat out of the water... shouldn't really be necessary but I only have a road trailer - dont want to ruin the bearings...+ I'm a bit old & decrepit!
Thanks Catalina, good to hear from you. How are the animations going for Second life? I might have some work for you in the future email me, cheers Paul
another wonderful video thanks Paul. Love the hack on the eski. Also enjoyed your galley box. Is there a vid on making it? BTW also loved other sailors' boat images. I'm not surprised you got a big response. Appreciate the effort you put into these Paul. I hope to get down to the WB Festival in Tassie next Feb. Was there this past Feb, but with Covid and off year nothing on. cheers aye
Hi Larry, thank you, it's a Torqueedo 801 made in Germany. This model is over 12 years old and there is now a newer model Torqueedo 2000. They have a Lithium battery or you can run them off standard deep cycle Lead acid batteries. I have 2 x12 volt wheelchair batteries under the bunks. There are quite expensive though, thanks for watching, cheers Paul
Hey Paul, what weekend are you going to Myall lakes and where might you be launching from. I am visiting the area and if possible would like to catch up with you and your lovely Kate Louise. Neil McDonald
Hi Neil it was last weekend, events are posted on Sydney Raid on facebook. Do you have a red Hartley? If you do one of the guys saw you at Violet Hill, video coming shortly, cheers Paul
@@SailingKateLouise thanks for your reply. No I’m from Darwin and happened to be in the region and hoped that I might be able to see you all in action. I’m in Tuncurry atm heading towards south west rocks. Slowly returning to Darwin.
Hi Michael, apart from the traditional look which suits the design, having a lugsail yawl gives you 3 sail options before reefing. Although the downside is she doesn't point as well, but still fun to sail and I'm not racing. Adding a boom would actually improve the performance of the main but I do have a whisker pole which acts as a temporary boom for sailing downwind. I just don't use it very much. Cheers Paul
Paul ! Do you know if those “Raid” stubby holders are online n can be bought n sent to U.S. ?!! I’m looking but can’t find the source yet ?! If not .. no problem 😉.. Cheers 🥂 Nick.
Heck ! 😉. No problem Mate. Much appreciated the answer n reply buddy. Oooh ! Finally got one of those fancy “R” ensign flags. So sailing ⛵️ my backyard on the Bark Sea 🌊 here as we still work Ooooh so carefully n slowly on my Monty 17. If I find or figure out your E-mail again .. I’m might send off a pix or two. I was also able to buy (second hand) a lovely n colorful assytemic Spinnaker sail. Cheers 🥂 Nick.
What this, Ohio in the "land of the free" you can't sleep aboard your vessel wherever you like, only in places dictated to you by the rulers? I wish we saw the bit where you got a gust a took on some water, those bits of excitement when it happens to others is always fun to see
Thanks ye it's true about Ohio check it out and they have big fines for fishing without a license Luckily (or unluckily for some) the camera wasn't on, thanks for watching, cheers Paul
Hi someone suggested it might be laws to prevent the homeless problem in the states, where a lot of people are living aboard on hulks...Thanks for watching, cheers Paul
Weird about Ohio. I wonder if it has more to do with "fighting homelessness" than boating. I know in CA and FL and TX we had problems with people living on basically derelict boats. Lots of people also use trailed boats as RV's and some of those end up immobile and making a mess. There's been a big push to keep people from being able to do that a lot of places.
Thanks for the info Thomas, I didn't think about the homeless situation in the States, I just thought it was a nanny state. A sailor from Ohio told me about it and the fines are high and also for fishing without a licence. Thanks for watching, cheers Paul
@@SailingKateLouise Not quite that bad: Sleeping on Watercraft Prohibited (OAC 1501:47-3-21) No boat operator shall sleep at night aboard a vessel adrift, at anchor, docked, moored, tied-up or beached on Ohio State Park waters except in designated locations. Some parks have designated boat camping areas. Inquire about locations at the specific park office. Go online to ohiodnr.gov/boating to find out more
Those rules about no camping are horrible. I think it's hyper capitalism. They don't want people camping for free. They want to force people to pay a business in order to sleep away from home. They might also fear houseboats, and people living that way full time.

I love the video. I am from Ohio and I have to admit that I have slept on my boat at anchor. Don't tell anyone.
Hi William, it's true isn't it. Someone told me the fine was $100 and for fishing without a licence it's even more. Thanks for watching, cheers Paul
Another great episode! Always pressed with how well Kate Louise handles all types of wind…..or maybe it’s the skipper!
Oh you are too kind....actually she is an easy boat sail but I do need a bit more ballast, cheers Paul
brilliant! I see a new kate louise video as a child sees a new toy. Thank you.

The skipper still needs some refurbishing too! The pair of us would like a bit warmer weather too! Still figuring out if I need a winch to get the boat out of the water... shouldn't really be necessary but I only have a road trailer - dont want to ruin the bearings...+ I'm a bit old & decrepit!
Thanks for watching, cheers Paul
Great work. I enjoy your videos. Not sure how to send you photos but no matter.
Thanks for watching, just send the photo to sailingkatelouise@gmail.com cheers Paul
Checklists are your friend. Use a standard one then update it on each cruise with things like 'Curry'.
Thanks Catalina, good to hear from you. How are the animations going for Second life? I might have some work for you in the future email me, cheers Paul
If you don’t mind could you go over your standing rigging. I’m building a ptarmigan 17 and like your arrangement. Happy sails Mac
Sure John email me at sailingkatelouise@gmail.com
Great video, doing it under sail.
Thanks Rauf for watching., cheers Paul
another wonderful video thanks Paul. Love the hack on the eski. Also enjoyed your galley box. Is there a vid on making it? BTW also loved other sailors' boat images. I'm not surprised you got a big response.
Appreciate the effort you put into these Paul. I hope to get down to the WB Festival in Tassie next Feb. Was there this past Feb, but with Covid and off year nothing on. cheers aye
Thanks Col here is the link to the galley box video, cheers Paul ruclips.net/video/g98-flDK24Y/видео.html
Get yourself a chest and/ or head harness for the go pro Paul. For when crewing on the tall ship.
Hi Shane good idea, but I'm not sure the organisers would allow it, we will see. Thanks for watching, cheers Paul
@@SailingKateLouise You can only ask Paul.Do they have a website? Maybe suggest using some of the footage on it for them??
None of your friends even come close to your peaceful articulation of the experience you are enjoying
Thanks for those kind words and watching, cheers Paul
Another really great video Paul (I just 'found' you with the previous vid) . I there with you. A question ple what is you electric outboard ?
Hi Larry, thank you, it's a Torqueedo 801 made in Germany. This model is over 12 years old and there is now a newer model Torqueedo 2000. They have a Lithium battery or you can run them off standard deep cycle Lead acid batteries. I have 2 x12 volt wheelchair batteries under the bunks. There are quite expensive though, thanks for watching, cheers Paul
Wood nuts, lol , other names come to mind but I won’t mention them here lol😂
Thanks for watching, cheers Paul
Hey Paul, what weekend are you going to Myall lakes and where might you be launching from. I am visiting the area and if possible would like to catch up with you and your lovely Kate Louise.
Neil McDonald
Hi Neil it was last weekend, events are posted on Sydney Raid on facebook. Do you have a red Hartley? If you do one of the guys saw you at Violet Hill, video coming shortly, cheers Paul
@@SailingKateLouise thanks for your reply. No I’m from Darwin and happened to be in the region and hoped that I might be able to see you all in action. I’m in Tuncurry atm heading towards south west rocks. Slowly returning to Darwin.
What do you like about your mainsail rig?
Hi Michael, apart from the traditional look which suits the design, having a lugsail yawl gives you 3 sail options before reefing. Although the downside is she doesn't point as well, but still fun to sail and I'm not racing. Adding a boom would actually improve the performance of the main but I do have a whisker pole which acts as a temporary boom for sailing downwind. I just don't use it very much. Cheers Paul
Paul ! Do you know if those “Raid” stubby holders are online n can be bought n sent to U.S. ?!! I’m looking but can’t find the source yet ?! If not .. no problem 😉.. Cheers 🥂 Nick.
Hi Nick unfortunately we only had a few made sorry.
Heck ! 😉. No problem Mate. Much appreciated the answer n reply buddy.
Oooh ! Finally got one of those fancy “R” ensign flags.
So sailing ⛵️ my backyard on the Bark Sea 🌊 here as we still work Ooooh so carefully n slowly on my Monty 17. If I find or figure out your E-mail again .. I’m might send off a pix or two. I was also able to buy (second hand) a lovely n colorful assytemic Spinnaker sail.
Cheers 🥂 Nick.
Was that you off Sydney today in the square-rigger?
Not today, my first sail is hopefully Oct 6 but the Duyfken sails twice a week, Thursdays and Saturdays, cheersPaul
What is the ensign you fly from your port shroud?
Hi it's the marine code for the letter R. As we are called the Sydney Raid group we have adopted the R flag. Thanks for watching, cheers Paul
What this, Ohio in the "land of the free" you can't sleep aboard your vessel wherever you like, only in places dictated to you by the rulers? I wish we saw the bit where you got a gust a took on some water, those bits of excitement when it happens to others is always fun to see
Thanks ye it's true about Ohio check it out and they have big fines for fishing without a license
Luckily (or unluckily for some) the camera wasn't on, thanks for watching, cheers Paul
Almost as good as being there with you. 🙂
Thanks mate, cheers Paul
Put your beers in a sack and drop them to the bottom, nice and cold.
Thanks George, great idea, thanks for watching, cheers Paul
It is such a shame that Jetskis were invented, oh well never mind!
I hope it's only a passing phase but they are banned in some places like Sydney Harbour, but the cops have them. Thanks for watching, cheers Paul
Excellent, thanks. Wonder what the draconian rules in Ohio are all about. The land of the free, except if you have a boat there....
Hi someone suggested it might be laws to prevent the homeless problem in the states, where a lot of people are living aboard on hulks...Thanks for watching, cheers Paul
Weird about Ohio. I wonder if it has more to do with "fighting homelessness" than boating. I know in CA and FL and TX we had problems with people living on basically derelict boats. Lots of people also use trailed boats as RV's and some of those end up immobile and making a mess. There's been a big push to keep people from being able to do that a lot of places.
Thanks for the info Thomas, I didn't think about the homeless situation in the States, I just thought it was a nanny state. A sailor from Ohio told me about it and the fines are high and also for fishing without a licence. Thanks for watching, cheers Paul
@@SailingKateLouise Not quite that bad: Sleeping on Watercraft Prohibited (OAC 1501:47-3-21)
No boat operator shall sleep at night aboard a vessel adrift, at anchor,
docked, moored, tied-up or beached on Ohio State Park waters except in
designated locations.
Some parks have designated boat camping areas. Inquire about locations at
the specific park office. Go online to ohiodnr.gov/boating to find out more
5.2 not all about speed for some people
Thant's right, thanks for watching, cheers Paul
Those rules about no camping are horrible. I think it's hyper capitalism. They don't want people camping for free. They want to force people to pay a business in order to sleep away from home. They might also fear houseboats, and people living that way full time.
Yes it sounds crazy doesn't it. But apparently it only applies in Parks which borders most of the waterways. Thanks for watching, cheers Paul
