I cannot express to you how much I enjoyed this. Well done.

[@Morningvicar]

Thank you very much for watching

[@christophe6065]

Thank you for this very interesting video (the regatta "from inside"). Funny to look at an english video... and to see (several times) a breton boat (Le Grand Léjon) !🙂

[@Morningvicar]

I’m glad you enjoyed it. It was a privilege to sail alongside Le Grand Léjon.

[@henrystephens5115]

Such a detailed video for anyone interested in making boat like this really go! Exciting stuff - and useful for (not!) racing. Thank you for making and sharing.

[@Morningvicar]

Thanks for watching 👍

[@ianswales7219]

Well done all, I enjoyed that immensely and showed the capability of the wee gaffer (and crew)

[@Morningvicar]

Many Thanks.

[@MartinLockhart]

Wow excitement, suspense, exhilaration best one yet, excellent camera work and accompanying music

[@Morningvicar]

Many thanks for watching

[@billywhizz6483]

Fantastic, very exciting. Great teamwork too! Really showed what a Shrimper is capable of.

[@Morningvicar]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@tobygoessailing]

Nice! That looked like a lot of fun. And congratulations on the win. Been half thinking of racing, and now I'm really tempted.

[@Morningvicar]

You should! but what i didn't show was the state of the cabin afterwards. i'm still tidying up.

[@olivei2484]

You should. Good way to test skills and your boats ability.

[@dhouse-d5l]

Firstly that gorgeous Bristol cutter going like the clappers then yourselves flying along.. what a great video.

[@Morningvicar]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@ifordwarrior]

Absolutely fantastic work. Been considering a Shrimper 19 for while, this has made my mind up. Rarely do I manage to watch a video post without skipping sections, hey, not this one. Commentary as interesting as the camera work.😀😀😀😀😀😀

[@Morningvicar]

Many thanks for watching. Let me know if you want any help.

[@mennovanrij9334]

What a lovely 31 mins to watch! You 3 are a good crew for this event. Btw, 'sending it'...a familiar phrase in my household as well. A sign that you're around hardcore dinghy sailors.

[@Morningvicar]

many thanks for watching. we had a great time

[@redsnappersadler34]

Thanks for posting. I never knew your boat was so fast.

[@Morningvicar]

neither did i...

[@debsbennett5632]

Absolutely superb footage. Really enjoyed it

[@Morningvicar]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@cousinjack2841]

That was a most enjoyable video. Took me back to the seventies, racing in Looe. Thanks for the upload.

[@Morningvicar]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@olivei2484]

Great video. A lot of hard work. I have always loved the Swans. Graceful and fast.

[@Morningvicar]

glad you enjoyed it

[@olivei2484]

Sailing gloves for every one!

[@Morningvicar]

yes indeed

[@philipwoods7020]

Excellent and a very well made video. Thoroughly enjoyed it all.👏

[@Morningvicar]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@SkulduggeryGaunt]

What an incredible video; I giggled with joy watching it. I'd love more not-racing!

[@Morningvicar]

Many thanks for watching, I'm glad you enjoyed it..... we may be entering the Dart regatta next month so stay tuned

[@saabtech3510]

Well done family! Fabulous race and video work! Thank you.

[@Morningvicar]

Thanks for watching

[@andrewpartridge3468]

Fantastic - best video so far, I had no idea the shrimper was so fast! Well done tot you all.

[@Morningvicar]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@ohnezuckerohnefett]

I really, really loved that. Totally underestimated boats, in my view. Maybe the last reef would have prevented some of the weather helm upwind? Would having the traveller further up windward make it point higher?

[@Morningvicar]

Yes, another reef would have made it a lot more comfortable upwind and no slower. We were overpowered upwind but underpowered downwind, we didn’t want to think about reefing between legs. Would have been a different story if we weren’t trying to win 😊

[@de_Marco]

well done! both racing and video 👍

[@Morningvicar]

Thank you! 👍

[@JagoWilson]

Awesome!

[@Morningvicar]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@Evieeee569]

Fantastic

[@Morningvicar]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@johnmclachlan1023]

Bit late in commenting, but a nice video of the race and well done and well sailed.

[@Morningvicar]

Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it

[@michealsummers714]

Excellent. I’m sure I remember Morning Vicar from Emsworth circa 2004/5. Owned by Rodney? Is this the same boat. I sailed Greenshank (350) at the time.

[@Morningvicar]

It is indeed, sold to a new owner in Chichester Harbour then on to me in 2021.

[@theodorenilson3280]

That was thrilling! Beautiful shot of the French lugger 😊following around the marker. I’m enjoying your videos very much, but every time I check your channel stats I find I’ve been unsubscribed, and your subscriber count seems to have decreased.

[@Morningvicar]

thanks for watching, glad you liked it. it is interesting, each time i upload a video, i intstantly lose 3 or 4 subscribers. Its become a joke in our house

[@tobygoessailing]

By the way, how on earth did you get all those camera shots - especially the panning shots (e.g. 8:40) - whilst you three seemed to be fully occupied with sailing ? Was there a secret camera operator on board?

[@Morningvicar]

360 camera, captures everything. you can then pan, zoom etc afterwards. you can see it on the companionway hatch from the gopro (actualy a dji) shots from the stern.

[@tobygoessailing]

@@Morningvicar Thanks, had no idea about that. Must look into it .

[@MaxRevitt]

So cool! Reckon a 6ft2 fella could sleep in one of these beauties?

[@Morningvicar]

Easily. I’m exactly 6ft and have loads of room 😀

[@MaxRevitt]

🎉 amazing. Now to try and convince the wife...😂

[@MikeFloutier]

Thank you, a wonderful video! btw, I just wondered how you managed the panning and zooming; it was so effective but I didn't see a remote, how do you do it? And by the way Congratulations!!

[@Morningvicar]

Thank you. We had 5 cameras onboard, a phone each, a DJI action camera on the flagpole and a 360 light field camera on the hatch. The 360 captures everything and you can zoom and pan etc afterwards.

[@MikeFloutier]

@@Morningvicar my word, that’s so good, thank you! ⛵️🍾❤️

[@Spud63]

well done on the win great footage sailing in the bay , what make and model of camera do you use on the cabin top, should wear gloves really just incase , look forward to the next

[@Morningvicar]

Thanks. I used an Insta360 on the cabin hatch on a gopro mount. I hate wearing gloves....

[@Spud63]

@@Morningvicar thanks i h8 them too

[@JagoWilson]

Are you going to the Southampton boat show in September again?

[@Morningvicar]

I certainly will be.

[@cornishshrimpersailing5561]

Great video!, which speed could you achieve close to the wind?

[@Morningvicar]

according to navionics, the highest up wind speed was 5.3kts but most of the time it was around 4.5kts. pretty sure a lot of that was sideways :)

[@Morningvicar]

interestingly, starboard beat was about 10% faster. i'm putting that down to the outboard being out of the water. next year i'm taking it out completely

[@cornishshrimpersailing5561]

Yes i can imagine that, i also can notice more speed, with centerboard up, wenn sailing with the wind till half wind. Btw are you coming over for the ISW this week in the Netherlands?

[@Morningvicar]

alas, i'm back at work

[@JohnWilkinson-f4k]

If you're racing take the ensign down!

[@Morningvicar]

Not racing …. Sailing in company. Important insurance difference.

[@thegreenman555]

great resolution & clarity on this video btw. what camera are you using?

[@Morningvicar]

It was a mixture of IPhone, DJI action cam and an Insta360.
