@@bentucker5009 likewise. What a great route

@@fish-hawk5903 thanks. The cruising chute is not much bigger than the genoa which is 10sqm. I would prefer a bigger one. There is a tall rig version of the Corribee which probably solves the undercanvassed problem.

Hi. Thanks, I'm glad you enjoy the videos, they are fun to make! I could never do without the sprayhood, long upwind passages, motoring into the wind and/or waves... it would be miserable without it, the Corribee having so little freeboard. I devised a way to bend my own frame and then had the sprayhood made by Jeckles in Norfolk. Don't think I saved much by doing the frame myself. There are plenty of videos about how to make a pattern and sew one yourself if you're so inclined but in the end I decided to splash out and pay someone to make it for me.

Thanks for the correction

…it is on my list…when I get my boat fixed.

@@normanrubenis7283 thanks, it's a good one. The Sound of Harris is interesting if you go that way, and there's some great beaches on the west side of the Western Isles as well. So much to explore around there!

@@normanrubenis7283 out of interest, I'm planning a junk rig conversion for Mwera! Just reading up on it at the moment.

@@TroyaE117 your right. With the shallow draft i could go further in to where it's sandy

It's the Chichewa name of the southerly prevailing wind on Lake Malawi, lived there for 20 years!

Correct. Have you been there yourself?

What boat are you on?

@@sailingcorribeemweraW. Fulmar, bilge keel of course!

Saw you on a Jester delivery trip! Or maybe you're the Jester?!

@@sailingcorribeemwera not this year unfortuantely, just lending a hand

I've got a few thoughts, round Ireland, Jester challenge (Baltimore, Ireland), exploring North Devon/Bristol Channel which I completely bypassed last year. This year I'm based in Plockton and have done a trip out to St Kilda through the Sound of Harris and back via the Shiants which was awesome.

Well done, I have enjoyed the series.

Hi yes I'm based in Sheffield. You too? Puzzled why you would want a bow roller type fitting on the stern?

@@sailingcorribeemwera Galway, but my daughter lives in Sheffield. I'm converting a Hurley 22 to a junk rig, filling up the front section with foam, and stowing the anchor and chain, etc, low in the boat. I hope I can do everything from the cockpit and avoid the front of the boat; plus, the boat has no engine, so any momentum used to set the anchor will probably be by stern skulling. Once I chose an unstayed mast, I suddenly found there was no need for the bow to be so pointy, which made me wonder if I also needed to anchor from the bow (most sea anchors used to be anchored from the bow, but now the 'way' seems to be from the stern). But, I'm sure much of this is nonsense!

@@AndyKirkpatrick50 I like it! Inspired by Roger Taylor and his Ming Ming adventures? Maybe we can chat further by Messenger... I'm Jes Bates on FB

Hi, its a samsung galaxy tab active, SM-T365, its waterproof, basic spec but mainly used for running a nav app so doesn't need to be too clever. From London Chartplotters, if you're in the UK.

@@sailingcorribeemwera Thanks. I wondered if it was one of theirs. I was just looking at them this afternoon. How have you found using it? Any advice please?

@@revtonyc relatively cheap and cheerful. It does the job, its not a fancy hi spec fast charging tablet but it does the job. You get raster type charts rather than the vector ones used on Navionics so the experience is more like using a paper chart. Got me round Britain last year! The guy at LCP is great, just trying to provide a way for people to get on the water without spending a fortune, gives a good service, helped me out with a repair on another tablet year. Visitmyharbour.com do the same thing and their website/ app has a lot of nav/pilotage info on it

Thanks, I'll have another listen. I must confess i did this one in a hurry before leaving Canna harbour!

I think it's just the live clip at the beginning, the rest seems OK

I went anticlockwise from Grimsby, 1/5 to 30/7, got to IoM around 21st June. Somehow i missed the bad weather, except for a F8 gale when i was sheltering up the Dart, in mid July

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it

Hi, thanks. Wind vane is a Hebridean, windvaneselfsteering.co.uk/, there's also a FB page. Sprayhood made by Jeckles in Norfolk, www.jeckells.net/covers/, different company from Jeckles.co.uk the sailmakers

That's great, glad he enjoyed it😊

Wonderful footage and photos. The Corribee really is the prettiest little boat.

Petrol can be hard to find nearby in some of the more remote areas, particularly in Scotland so I carried 2 jerrycans of 20l plus whatever was in my external fuel tank. In some harbours I had a mile or so walk to get petrol, in others the harbour master gave me a lift there and back! Probably I would have been fine with just the one 20l jerrycan and the 12l in my external tank which would be enough for 32 hours of motoring or approx 130 miles. Mwera ended up quite stern heavy with the fuel plus water (my water tank is under the cockpit sole). Mainly it was a matter of thinking ahead to where the next fuel would be available.

Perceptive insights, thanks

Hi. It was made for my boat. I actually made the metal frame and then the spray hood was made to fit that, by Jeckles in Norfolk, UK.
