I also have a Shimmy 12 and have had it for 20 years. It's as good as they say. Mine is an original rig: no boom and no battens in the sails. I sail it on the Broadwater on the Gold Coast SE Qld. and apart from the jet skis it is the perfect environment for the boat due to the many sandbanks. It is a very dry boat and handles well in a blow. I have been thinking of putting a furler on the jib now also to make it easy when I'm solo. It's the perfect boat for me. The only changes I have made is to strengthen the area where the mast passes through the deck. I have had the wife and 3 kids with me when they were young but now can comfortably sail with 2 grown up sons and me. Thankyou Derek Ellard for your brilliant design.

It’s wonderful how you include other like minded people in your vids. Great things coming out of Australia!

@duanegregg6222

Enjoy these vids….. can’t wait to get mine finished. It’s been 6yrs , y’all give me hope 😁👍🏼 !!! Thx.

@George_Zip

A very beautifully made video Paul, and such a pleasure to have small boat sailing promoted in this way. Small boats are easy to use, low cost and low impact, but pay big dividends in enjoyment - less boat, more fun! Keep them coming, and many thanks!

@hespie1

The Shimmy looks great. Well built.

@SmallCraftTasmania-ms4sx

Lots of happy good people. Thanks Paul...really lovely episode. Mat & Jo

Thanks for the update on Steve's build. it's going to be lovely when completed. that Shimmy is a good looking craft as well.

@robstevens5503

That was a beautiful calm day and place to sail and chat. The last few times I have been out you might have been too busy swearing and holding on to chat!

@jchambers1191

It was great to see home built boats - thanks for sharing them with us!

@jeffb6131

G'day Paul really enjoyed this video, love seeing other peoples builds and boats and just the general little insights you get from the conversation. Well done, more of the same please. Bless you mate.

@NoCoastBoatworks

Thanks, Paul, for such a wonderful video showcasing our Shimmy 12. We're working on the Mk2 as we speak!

@harryriley2696

Wow!

@Ranger670

Please may we have an update on Steve's build sometime in the future? And a launch day clip too please. I like the look of his Ptarmigan design.

@jimyork215

Paul I have so much enjoyed you channel. I would love to come and sail with you. Problem is I have to launch at my local marina in Alabama USA and traverse down to the gulf coast then travers the Panama cannel then traverse the Pacific ocean, all in my 15" dingy. It's on my bucket list. I'll hit you up when I arrive. Cheers

@Sailingandmiddlewayphilosophy

Another great video! Thankyou! 🎉😊

@markgallagher1376

I love small home built wooden boats. I’ve built one already and am about to start another build.

@HKoel

Thank you for the new video, I am really looking forward everytime.

@jamessandman3708

Thanks John, Thanks Steve, nice boats! Thanks Paul, Cheers! ⛵⛵⛵

Beautiful video ! So peaceful . I really love those little wooden sailboats. But I think I’ll stick to my plan of driving through Europe in our RV and taking my inflatable dinghy with me to go daysailing. AND I can sleep very comfortably at night. I really enjoy this. THX for your ideas Paul.
