Dinghy Cruising Sydney to Hobart?! What?! Heron Sailing with friends

[@DinghyCruisingKingfisher]

Ha, love it! Great video Afloat crew, that one becomes a bit of a family memento now. Take care guys and see you soon. Josh and the Forward Hand.

[@afloatinawoodenboat]

I really hope we can catch up with you all soon. Best holiday I’ve had in years!

[@khiemtran6272]

Great video! Glad you had a good visit!

[@afloatinawoodenboat]

We sure did - sorry we had other commitments on the Sunday! Your sail looked awesome :)

[@joyliansailing8096]

Beautiful video. So glad that you had such a wonderful visit and that Sydney turned on its best Autumn weather for you. Sad to have missed meeting you all.

[@afloatinawoodenboat]

We were sad to miss you too! Is Joylian going to be the only regular heron at RAID now?

[@joyliansailing8096]

@@afloatinawoodenboat looking more likely now. There are 1 or 2 others still around, I think.

[@MarcelLENORMAND]

Cracking stuff! What a wonderful experience.

[@afloatinawoodenboat]

It really was an opportunity we couldn’t miss! And oh my, after two years having not traveled outside of Tassie, I was just so delighted to be reminded of all of the good things that travel brings.

@ the 3:57 mark I know what Anthony is looking at, he's checking out the cutting job on the 2 bottom panels along the keel line. I gotta say this, it looks like the puppy cut those 2 panels by chewing it. How did you cut these 2 plywood panels, what did you use? Old mate Anthony must've been thinking, "what the hell have I got myself into here" and this thing has to get to Hobart

[@afloatinawoodenboat]

I’m not sure how he did it, but I’m certain it will be a great little boat when she’s done :)

[@MrJeep75]

Awesome video

[@afloatinawoodenboat]

Thanks! It was a fabulous trip

[@TimsBitsnPieces]

Great video.

[@afloatinawoodenboat]

Thanks so much! We had the best time making it.

I wonder if you saw a Heron "Flatchat" while at port hacking. I believe Paul owned her briefly and regretfully sold her to another member at PHoSC. My father built flatchat and dare I say it is possibly one of the faster homebuilt herons of recent time. I sailed flatchat in a few nationals and state championships as a junior. Your video makes me want to revisit dinghy sailing, the boats I sail now are a farcry from flatchat now!

[@afloatinawoodenboat]

Yes, he spoke about Flatchat! I am not sure if she’s still there though.

[@MrJeep75]

That was funny life jacket moment

[@afloatinawoodenboat]

Hehe I know. That’s coming out at his 21st!

[@MrJeep75]

I would love to learn to sail

[@afloatinawoodenboat]

Do you have a local sailing club that might take you out or have lessons?

[@simonabunker]

I hope everyone learnt a lot from the boat nerd!

[@afloatinawoodenboat]

Hahaha! Turns out it was all talk ;)

[@afloatinawoodenboat]

Oh, bless! I’m pretty sure you’d think differently when I took away your iPad every night at 7pm… at least these two do!
