What a lovely fleet of boats and i hope you enjoyed your trip. I made the "Staande Mastroute" for 3 times (Zeeland to Makkum-NL) by several sailing vessels and it was such a pleasure. Last time i transfered an old "english lady" (Halcyon 23 from 1970) and i am still sailing her mainly on the Ijsselmeer. Will follow your adventures and looking very much forward to your new adventures...best regards, Linus (SY " Plan C")

@erbster200 Ай бұрын
@@squiddly-diddly it’s not really needed on a gaffer. The wooden boom is very stiff, so a vang (kicking strap) has no effect on boom shape. The main sheet pulls the boom down sufficiently on its own. When the wind is strong (but not so strong as to need a reef), because the main is large, it is helpful to let the boom lift a bit and dump a little power.

@@funkyfender1 well, it’s possible but the main benefit of a trailer sailor is not to spend days moving the boat, but to travel direct to the cruising ground. This was part of a 7-day voyage to join a rally. There were two cape cutters who took 1 day to travel and launched at the event location. Having said that, given the calm conditions we experienced, this would be possible in a Cape Cutter. One big concern of mine, as a small boat, was being seen by the large commercial vessels in the shipping channel- an AIS transmitter was quite a reassurance. I think you’d spend quite a bit of time motoring to get through the separation scheme

He said several times that there's not much wind, but despite that still manages to sail as the wind picks up later. However, the video is more about the passage, not the actual sailing.
