Lunch at Shingle Street

[@philj3727]

That looked very well organised. Do you mind saying where you were sailing and where you launched? I'm guessing the Butley or Alde river, but not really familiar with the area. Enjoyable video just wish it was longer 👍. Regards

Hi Phil. I took very little video that trip. Getting lazy!! We launched at Orford, sailed down to Shingle Street at the Ore entrance, then overnighted in the Butley River. Very windy the next day so just scooted back to Orford.

Cheers Matthew found it maps. With regard to the slipway at Orford is that just for members of the sailing club there or is it open to the public?

[@aeroluffsparsltd]

@@philj3727 I was lucky enough to launch at the sailing club having contacted them in advance.

[@MatthewSharman]

I launched at Orford this time and just sailed the River. Our overnight was indeed in the Butley.

I had to go back and watch that jump again!

Does anyone use a topping lift on a Wayfarer..pros, cons?

[@MatthewSharman]

No. All cons. Top of mast is unsupported and should not be subjected to the potential load. In a dinghy the best place for a lowered sail is down in the boat however inconvenient.

[@MatthewSharman]

Some people do though....

@@MatthewSharman thanks.....I was thinking about your beautiful varnished deck.
