Ep. 31 - GAFF RIG TRAILER SAILER CRUISER - THE WELSFORD PENGUIN

Ben and Mat sail Little Wing from Port Cygnet to ‘The Greatest Marina In The World’ located in Prince Of Wales Bay, just north of Hobart. A distance of 54nm travelled over two days (14:45hrs at the helm).
Mat cooks up some Butter Chicken and asks Ben to share his wisdom on big and little boats.
On day two the wind blows over 30kts and they are forced to make a few changes before something breaks…
A new custodian will take Little Wing’s helm soon. Will it be you?

A Kestral wind meter would be an idea to have on board, instead of guessing the wind. But I like the look of the boat. Though I don't have the ability to build one.

Great episode guys and what a gorgeous boat! Thanks.

One question; which marina do you think is the best in the world? Lovely sail and what a great little boat. Thanks for the upload.

Turn on the CC, turn down the sound...

For someone with tinnitus, this is torture.

Turn on the CC, turn down the audio.

Do you ever worry about meeting them?

The sound track is intolerable in the wind. Please promise you are not doing this for dramatic effect.
