Can you recover the Shellback without assistance if you capsize?

I have to confess I have yet to do a capsize drill. Likely would be difficult to self-rescue.

Shellbacks are quite bouncy when empty and heading into the wind/waves, aren't they?. Once you fill em up with gear and food they'll just plow right along without, sans bounce.

Hi I see as well as a bowsprit, you also have a boom. Most Drascombe Luggers are boomless or have I missed something? I would value your views on the boom.
@robingraham6820 3 ай бұрын
@@jackrabbit5047 thanks for the detailed response. That makes a lot of sense. I have just acquired a Drascombe Lugger and, assuming it floats, I will probably do a little tinkering. Windward performance is most important to me, so I will be watching you and others. A margarine tub will go downwind, but upwind is an art and is needed to get me around in Orkney. Happy sailing.

I love watching your voyages in Jackrabbit. Could you do your faithful followers a small favour please? I'd love to see a piece of of mylar or a bit of bright yarn hanging from your halyard or downhaul (wonvt be affected if you have to reef the sail) so we can see the wind direction. Thanks and keep on sailing.

Thanks - this video provided a quick consultation on rigging! I was pretty sure I had the halyard set up incorrectly and this video confirmed. I also was lashing my fenders under the seats for flotation. Your method is 3x as good: flotation, fenders, and backrests! I never thought about sailing the Ottawa. Will be on Calabogie in July

Thank you for the video. Your fleet has a lot of boats that are on my short list. I sail a Shellback now but am considering moving to a Seapearl - based on a few assumptions. I would love your feedback: - Seapearl can sail 4 adults, Shellback 1.5? 2? - Rigging a Seapearls can be done in under 20 minutes - Coastal sailing such as your 1000 Island tour is more comfortable in a Seapearl than your Shellback Any other thoughts? My concern is years ago I moved from a West Wight Potter 14 to a Precision 18. Great boats but the Precision cut my sailing time in half due to mast raising, more complicated trailering and launching
