I sail ds16 keel boat Your videos are best learning curve I could of ever hope to see.

Id be inclined to run the boat up on the shore,I dont know what the beaches are like in Tassy,Im in NZ.

I love Hobart, and isn’t the Derwent a fantastic stretch of water to sail in. Lucky guys.

You two have either the greatest or the worst sense of humor in the world. Either way, I'm here for it!

you are in better shape than I am!! very cool

this is very cool, although the little boat has a case of the uglies.......not very pretty IMHO

If I could, there is no other boat I would love to own so dearly, as Little Wing. So lovely.

I always thought for a boat to be a yawl the mizzen mast must be aft of the rudder stock, is that not the case?

Gorgeous boat. I normally don't like boats with offset bowsprits, but that's just my ocd kicking up.

Thanks for this video! I have a question for you @SmallCraftTasmania-ms4sx: can you plug the epropulsion motor to a battery while you are running it? Or does it stop working while charging? That would cut the recharge time down by a lot?

Great :)

Love the optional cuddycabin!

Yes ePROPULSION eLITE is Chinese marine motor, was it 500w?

Really enjoy these videos but please invest in one of those fuzzy microphone covers. The wind noise is unbearable in some shots

The only thing wrong with this video is it was too damn short lol ws just getting in to it and it was over, had me grinning from start to finish.

Ripping little boat you've got there, love the fact you can fully enclose it in foul weather not to mention the living space that adds at camp for a few days, pretty little thing too!

I recon black fellas most likely sailed an outrigger or two through there well before we laid claim to it all?

Simply beautiful little yacht

Metric Knots = 7.87 kilometers/hr = 4.3 knots

What camera are you using? Looks like something head mounted.

Thanks for the great, informative video mate. 👍

What a great channel, love the wildlife too. Besides missing the snakes because it's a bit early in the season, you just need to find a Thylacine and the Tasmanian critter collection would be complete! ;)

Found your channel recently. Your small craft sailing adventures around Tasmanian( like this one for instance)waters are really enjoyable.Such a lovely area to sail too Thanks for sharing!

Looking good mate

i have asked before about your boat speed watch where did you get it please.

Great job guys look like a new boat with the way she performs now with the new set of sail, rudder blade and vang. Just the new sails on their own looks like you have picked up more speed. The internal mods look great the foam was originally used for buoyancy in older boats.

Awesome boat! Absolutely mint use of king billy and huon that's for sure.

Impressed with your Scamp, definitely agree small boats with a lugsail are hard to beat. Great video cheering up my northern hemisphere winter.

Beautiful boat!! What that song? Please!!

Great videos! Where did you buy your Scamp? Thanks Ross

Wow! That's "the boat"!!

Hi guys great video In up to 30 knots very cool. Sailing heavy weather can be a lot of fun you can balance the boat by pointing up into the wind on heavy gusts it’s not an easy task but can be done with practice. I have a few questions that may assist you with some of your concerns. Your main looks like it’s end boom sheeted do you have a traveller? I think you mentioned a vang will be very useful. Also your spreaders do they sweep back at all? Is the main sail a typical cut for your class ? Also mast rake, rake the mast backwards towards the stern will remove Lee helm very dangerous Lee helm. You can try 5mm at a time backwards I recommend making notes as you go. Very nice to see you enjoying your sailing around Hobart. Shaun.

Love all the videos on the 19 as it is probably going to be my first sailboat. It's also fun to do a drinking game every time he says leehelm...lol

Brilliant vidoe and amazing trip, loved it.

What caused my ears to perk up was...Radio Shack. They still exist where you are? They all closed up out here in the states about 20 years ago.

Awesome for exploring!

My dad loves Sailing was also in the Navy he also built a wooden Dinghy, Ive always been around boats Ive never actually sailed myself this video makes me wanna build or get a sailboat 👍 thanks for sharing 😉

Back in the 1970s I owned a Drascombe Lugger up in the North of Scotland for which I made a boom tent. How would love to have that boat again in Tasmania. It would be perfect.

Great video, showing the workings of a great little design, the Compac 16! I am a fan of enjoying being out on the water in small boats and being able to overnight is key! You rightly point out the value of a cockpit tent to enhance accomodations! The cockpit becomes the "Living room" and transforms a small boat! Poo demo was entertaining to boot! Thanks for the effort! Now go wash your mouth out! Lol! AllthebestRoy

This is an excellent video and I think almost all questions answered…. Do you think I could go into a 20 knt headwind in a sailfish 18. I was thinking that an e propulsion spirit would be the only solution

Love the videos, I'm looking at building a scamp in a couple of years and look forward to some fun trips, a side note on the Trangia snuffers, if you take the wind shield with the pot grip its easy to come in from windward and put the snuffers on with no risk of burns. Happy travels.

Looks like a fun little boat ... would have been nice to hear a little about the design, builder, or how it came to be where you are though!!!

Another great video full of great information. Thank you. Maybe a range test hooked up to the battery bank and solar?

Tira el a suelo come pescado freco ino enlatado es mejor pescado fresco

Mat and Joann! Thanks 🎉much for the video. For now I’ll have to use some of your great ideas on my M-17. Wish i could get (build) a carbon mast. Any ideas out there?

Pretty boat ,were you doing laundry at the time? Sounds like a Clorox bottle or a small washing machine.

Well done guys, nice data point. Thanks for the tips on the power system. Cheers, J

So pretty!

Hi Mat - What is the GPS watch you are using? Great informative video.

Thanks for doing a proper review on the E-lite. Was holding off because nobody had any honest real life use scenarios
