[@DinghyCruisingKingfisher]

A good time had by all.... and Trim is quick when there is some wind.

[@comboyneorchard8537]

Good stuff, caught up on Sailing Kate Louise, followed by Bruce and Trim, both on the same Raid. Bonus

[@DinghyCruisingKingfisher]

Glad we could help you out! Josh

[@damoog5985]

Great video. You were really caning it a one point. Thanks for sharing.

[@DinghyCruisingKingfisher]

With a bit of breeze she really goes. Thanks for watching. Josh

[@mitchgibbs5304]

Geez… I think I need to do this… looks fun and relaxing..

[@DinghyCruisingKingfisher]

It’s the best. Find a local group or start one. It’s just a flash mob in boats… Josh

[@stephenbrown1689]

Great video josh glad you had a good time

[@DinghyCruisingKingfisher]

Thanks Stephen , glad you enjoyed it. Josh

[@markaridgway]

Nice video! What was that manoeuvre at 2:50? I still reckon Trim sounds great on the water - light and dry. Jolly Roger for that fleet.

[@DinghyCruisingKingfisher]

That’s a little insight into the perils of sailing with filming. If you are observant, the intro cam drop, and the 2.50 drop are separate incidents. It happens a lot!😂

[@timequest9802]

Fantastic Video!! Great cinematography. Question: When you go on these trips do you ever have problems with people breaking into your vehicle while parked at the boat ramp? In the USA most places (at least where I live) will not allow overnight parking at the boat ramps.

[@DinghyCruisingKingfisher]

There is a risk of break in but it is small, and perfectly legal to park at ramps overnight. I add a hitch lock to the trailer but that’s about it. Thefts are most likely either nicking your trailer or popping a window to rummage through your coin tray.

[@machismo4256]

nice boat the Navigator. Which boat is gets along faster the Hartley or the Cherry?

[@DinghyCruisingKingfisher]

I think the Hartley as it was well set up. Dave has only recently purchased the Cherry so he is still getting a feel for it. That said, the Cherry is still a quick boat. Josh

[@grahamparton1822]

Josh, what are your impressions of the Periwinkle?

[@DinghyCruisingKingfisher]

It was too fast 😂 Seriously pretty boat but I did notice it liked to heel.

[@superwag634]

Can you sleep on your boat or are you sleeping on land? You didn’t show

[@DinghyCruisingKingfisher]

Yes, I sleep aboard. The Part 2 video shows you a bit of a tour. Thanks for watching. Josh
