No.22 Haulout on a shallow slipway Shrimper goes back on her trailer and out of the water eventually

[@dhouse-d5l]

Very smooth operation. We leave the barnacles on all winter, the rain kills them and they fall off by spring.

[@Morningvicar]

Good plan

[@olivei2484]

We have used the towing strops a lot to launch and retrieve. It can always be an exciting time. I like the fresh water hose bibb flush on the hubs, that is really nice.

[@Morningvicar]

Yeah the flush is a must for any trailer sailor, quite cheap to do as well. Thanks for watching.

We love Sailing Morning Vicar! Great channel with some really useful information. Quite inspiring. Liked, Subscribed!

[@Morningvicar]

Awesome, thank you!

What a perfect, economical design. Only improvement might be a tabernacle mast.

[@Morningvicar]

It has a mast on a tabernacle 😊

Thanks for the video & I'm glad you had an excellent season. I had a paddle log on my previous boat & I hated how the briney poured in when endeavouring to control the panic while clapping on the temporary plug before cleaning it. I avoided this terror on my current boat by installing a NASA GPS log, wired in to a Standard Horizon VHF radio with GPS connectivity. Oh the smugness - it's overwhelming at times. Chin-chin

[@Morningvicar]

Thanks for watching. Don't worry, i have a GPS log as well. I keep the paddle wheel because its integrated into the NASA duet depth/log unit and sometimes its nice to know how fast you're moving through the water. I tried the quick switcharoo with the transducer and cap once. never again!

Interesting to see how a small front wheel drive car pulls a larger trailer sailer from the water. Rear wheel or 4*4 is best for such a job but you did it. Well done!

[@Morningvicar]

Thanks for watching

I have the same shenanigans with my newly acquired cape cutter 19 which is an original South African (Mk1) model with a twin axle trailer (unlike the newer Honor Marine Uk built boats with a lower single axle trailer, which allow easier launch/recovery from a slipway). My sailing club insists that we chock the trailer wheels when detaching the trailer from the car on the slipway in case the brakes fail! We also have a long dolly extension bar to allow for deeper keeled boats to be launched. Simply a very long narrow trailer with a tow hitch at the rear. This of course introduces a second articulation point making it more challenging manoeuvring in reverse. My trailer winch came with a cable which I don’t trust and which I’m about to replace with a strap. I’m concerned in case it snaps and recoils causing injury. I’ve used a stout mooring strop attached to the front of the trailer in the past which has worked well for getting the trailer in deeper. Thankfully I don’t suffer with wheel spin with my VW Tiguan but I have had to replace the clutch prematurely! Thanks for posting your videos. I’m enjoying them very much…The shrimper is quite similar to my boat albeit a gaff sloop instead of a gaff cutter. The CC19 Association have a few videos up, but it’s lacking the content such as yours. It’s crying out for redress so I may have to post some stuff myself. Fair winds… Steve (Cape Cutter 19 #11 ‘Bandoola’)

I must get round to buying an extension bar :) Thanks for watching

[@johnodonnell9180]

I’ve never seen a hub flush before. It is a brilliant idea but where can it be bought and fitted?

[@Morningvicar]

Hi. Thanks for watching. Most trailer manufacturers will fit them as an option and kits are widely available from them to retrofit. Eg A single axle kit is around £50 from SBS

[@johndelnero129]

Dear Morning Vicar, I love your videos, I have a shared shrimper on the Dart is there any way we could get in touch?

[@Morningvicar]

Hi John. Thanks for watching. I’m sure could get in touch, what do you have in mind.

[@Spud63]

its allways a sad time when you have to haul the boat out and take it home

[@Morningvicar]

Especially on such a nice day. Oh well here's looking forward to next season.

[@usablellc6735]

I think you need a better bottom paint.

[@Morningvicar]

I think you’re right
