Love your work mate. You guys certainly take on some epic trips for small boat sailors. I'm slowly getting my confidence up with Luna Blu and in time I hope to do more adventurous things, but Moreton Bay can be rough so I have to learn the ropes first.

Such a contrast. You are doing 70nm open water journeys, ripping out through heads in 20kts whilst casually fishing and dodging whales and dolphins, and I cant even manage to get my boat wet. At least someone is getting it done!

Hello... I am building my own wooden dinghy based on the Heron but with modifications. I intend to be able to camp cruise and sleep at least one aboard. Did you manage to convert it at night to have a sleeping platform afloat or simply you camp on beaches ? Thanks and kudos from Italy ...

@brucedyson-smith459 14 күн бұрын

Hi Stefan, I never got sleeping arrangements organised and just camped ashore but it’s not too hard to make some slats for a sleeping platform.In my first Heron I slept in the bottom of the boat. Good luck with it. Cheers Bruce

An of topic question. What do you think of a on the boom reefing method? Take boom off the mast and roll the mainsail onto the boom. Is this possible on a small boat? In wind 15knts or less.? I not trying to go fast just to get on the water and sail.

@brucedyson-smith459 2 ай бұрын

As long as you’re mainsheet is only coming off the end of the boom this might work but your sail will want to creep towards the mast over time which will make the sail shape too full.
