      @RoversAdventure It was such a beautiful day sailing. It had a very peaceful dream like vibe. Mostly you just let us ride along. Like I said perfect sailing video.

    Masterpiece. Gold Standard of YT sailing videos -- information, sounds, sights, inner monologue, and that junk rigged sail that goes up and comes down and reefs so easy.

    Just another beautiful sailing trip with nice weather.
    I love to watch your videos. I couldn't help thinking which other "movie" or video would I watch again and again, but this kind of video, being much of the same, never gets too much. I love it.

    27 years ago I sailed out of Kinsale, between gales, in an Oyster 26, heading for the Solent. 30 hours out we lost the mast! One of my more exciting passages! God bless the coast guard - the calmly reassuring voice at the other end of the vhf really helped while we limped our way into Falmouth 24 hours later.

    Also a clip from the build . I would be most interested in your rudder. Enjoyed the welding story.
    Thanks GOD BLESS BLS

    Beautiful coastline.
    I'm also 60 years old but I don't think I could handle being in that boat without a heater. I just installed a diesel heater in my 44 foot sailboat. It uses more diesel than I was expecting, but it sure makes the boat warm.
    Fair winds.

    I used to use the lazyjacks to lift that bottom panel up until you need every panel in light air. Gives better view forward.

    Cool story about the metal boat and learning to weld. Hull thickness? Size of the boat? Welding rod used?

      26ft LOA and it was about 1/8th + inch thick

    How could I hear the sound of an ouboard when I see an outboard on the rack to stbd? It looks smaller than the Wave Rover's powerplant on the transom. It looks smaller, so I suspect it's for the dinghy. I don't recall you having it... or maybe I haven't been paying sufficient attention.

      Hull speed is no sharp limit, it's often possible to get about 25% above hull speed with only sail.

    In watching your dinghy, does it change anything with regard to the performance of your MK3?
