Superb job. Took me back 55 plus years when I built a Mirror dinghy from kit with my dear Dad. Raced her and cruised in her. Superb dinghy. £75 then for the kit including sails. Paint and varnish extra. Hoping you will have many happy times in this wonderfully restored boat. Well done. 👍👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

Sorry if i sound stupid but this is very similar to the fireball correct? Im working on one now and really could use some help with the rigging. I always sailed sunfish and hobir cats so this is really new to me! That boat is beautiful by the way! Im in process of fixing some seams and painting my whole boat inside and out!

Great series of videos. I used to sail Rockets when i was a teenager, 44 now and hoping to make a return to the class. Tossing around the idea of buying a modern MR or doing a restoration project… Thanks again

Out of interest: Did yo get galvanic corrosion betweeen the steel screws and the brass band or did the epoxy prevent this?

I am the son of the penultimate owner (R.I.P.) of the Kalea, purchased in 1991 and resold to the current owner Mr. Tim Blackman in 2019. I had the honor of being in command of this wonderful sailing ship from 2004 to 2019, the year in which this masterpiece was sold by my family due to new needs that concerned our personal affairs. The yacht was a little low maintenance, but still sailed superbly. This is why Tim, trying it sailing in the Mediterranean, fell in love with it and moved it to the U.K. and brought it back to its former glory. Thank you Tim for taking on the baton of this wonderful story. I am deeply moved and I feel that dad is watching you with emotion and joy sailing from up there. The same emotion and pride that I feel, having saved this masterpiece from oblivion, handing it over to Tim who is still able to navigate and convey emotions. Thanks Tim, I love you and look forward to hugging you again.

@@andreadilazzaro6186 That’s wonderful to hear, I feel very privileged to have been able to sail her and grateful to Tim for so generously sharing his beautiful yacht with us. I will pass your message on to him!

Hello! Thank you for sharing your work with us! You did a an amazing job planning and then building the box! I have a question however: does your trangia get enough oxygen for burning in the position it is? I have noticed that my trangia is “choking” sometimes even though it is not in a box. Probably in my case the reason is that I am not using original trangia pans etc and they cover the top section of the stove with very little space left for creating sufficient drag.
@CorinNelsonSmith 2 ай бұрын
Thanks! Never had an issue with the Trangia choking, but I did get a bit fed up with the lack of control using meths as fuel, so switched to the gas burner option.

I have to admire the finish on the wood. I am just about to start renovating my old GRP GP14 and trailer. It has been laid up for at least 15 years. Now I am inspired.

Chickens are hard wired to do all the chicken things. I have raised a little sablepoot on her own because she was the only egg to hatch from the dozen in the incubator. She is now 10 months old and does all the normal chicken things without seeing another chicken.

Wow! What a beautiful boat. One of the sexiest ive seen. Its almost right upnthere with an ac40. Having said that though, i was sickened by the bouyancy bags, amount of control lines, and the spinnaker poles. She looked so beautiful naked. Nice job on the restoration.

The “classic” Merlin like 3387 has fairly minimal controls compared with the latest boats - they have an elaborate system for mast raking one continuous line for raking fore or aft, but a complete rat’s nest under the foredeck to keep the shroud and forestay tensions correct. But, lovely responsive dinghy to sail…

@the-naked-sailor 4 ай бұрын
Nice job corin (interesting name). Ive just bought a _solo_ (which is very similar to your gp) and noticed the 2 rectangular holes in the transom. What the hell are they? Im assuming theyre to remove water from the cockpit. However, on yours, you seem to have them permanently sealed. Mine were flaps that were attached to a bungee located in the cockpit.
@CorinNelsonSmith 4 ай бұрын
Yes they are transom drains to allow water out of the cockpit. No idea why mine were screwed on so I removed them and replaced with bungee retained ones as you describe. See 10:20 onwards for fabrication of new adjustable flaps and 13:38 onwards for a picture of the bungee holding the flaps on.

Lolololoololololololololol I think we are in the same boat, pardon the pun. I just bought a _Solo_ which is very similar to Corin's GP. Like you, it needs alot of work...... and I mean ALOT! Cracked (in multiple places) rudder, separated gunwales (both sides), rotten mast step, water ingress in a few places, all sheets need replacing, and the trailer and trolley need tlc! I live in a van in the bush and most of the work I'll be doing will be in open space in a friend's backyard. I'll be posting crappy vids of my progress. How is your rebuild going?
