Hi there. Great video - thank you. Out of interest can you recommend where we can dry dock a trailer cruiser dinghy. Like a NorseBoat 17, or a Drascombe 19 ft. Basically interested in keeping a boat on a trailer there (under cover). Just can't afford anything crazy and interested to see if that sort of thing exists there. Would be then keen to connect to the car and slip the boat for weekend use in Chichester Harbour. Please let me know! Thank you !

With just the bow anchor out, what stops you just getting washed further up the beach when the tide comes in?
@AlexGoesSailing 23 күн бұрын
@@RogerHolden normally not a problem unless the wind direction has changed. Most of the time just being aware of the upcoming conditions is enough to mitigate getting dragged up the beach. Typically just moving the anchor by hand is enough but most of the time I don’t have to do anything.

Absolutely amazing Alex. Well done because that trip was not as easy as you two made it look. I sailed my Mk1 down from Pembroke docks to Newquay Cornwall in 2007 with a couple of friends and was entertained by dolphins too. Sold now, but still got the mast and a couple of booms for it as the new owner didn't want to sail and is using it as a swimming platform🙂 I think only 3 were made like yours btw.... I looked at one for sale in Falmouth about 15 years ago. Cheers and all the best in future adventures.
