Nice sailing! Barton sells a rubber ring called the wincher that let`s you convert old winches to self-tailing.

[@SVRoquetta]

Yup, I'll be fitting those in the next episode 🤣

[@jcfgh]

Lovely to see you out with the new boat and weaving between boats under sail! However, what is the red postage stamp you are flying???!!! I have got a decent size spare red ensign you can have if you would like it! Best wishes

[@SVRoquetta]

😂😂😂 thats a fair comment mate, I'll put it on the list

[@JamieBowenSailingPlymouthUK]

Yay! smokin’ 😂

[@SailingAndInvesting]

You must have been going 4 or 5 knots around those other sailboats.

[@SVRoquetta]

I was until the main sheet parted 😂😂

Just come across your channel after searching Jester Azores, some great vids. Hows does the Fulmar compare to the Twister offshore ? I am looking to upgrade to the BK Fulmar next. Would you sail it to Azores ? I'd like a Long keel boat for some solo Blue water trips & Jester, but a wife and 3 kids means the Fulmar is a better fit!

[@SVRoquetta]

It's a matter of perspective, 30 years ago, a 28 foot boat would've been considered a substantial family cruiser. These days, a family of four would want more. The twister is undoubtedly a more stable boat, it's also slower than modern designs until the weather gets nasty - then it's often faster. You pay your money and you take your choice. All boats are a compromise

Hi Justin, Out of interest, what is the cost of the river mooring for your old boat Roquette? Cheers, Paul.

[@SVRoquetta]

I'm not actually sure anymore..

[@JR-fd8eq]

Hi Justin, whereabouts are you in Plymouth? Also are you thinking of doing the Jester Challenge again? Take care James

[@SVRoquetta]

I'm afraid my location is highly classifies, but yes, I do want to do the jester again! It's Ireland next year, that will be a scream!

[@JR-fd8eq]

@@SVRoquetta that’s no problem, I’m in Plymouth so il keep a look out for you! Would you consider installing a Hebridean on this one? Take care and hopefully see you out in The Sound. James

[@SVRoquetta]

@@JR-fd8eq yup, definitely considering another Hebridean 👍
