outstanding old boat

[@StanFerris]

Well, Dylan, I lost track of KTL for a bit, but found you again today! My 24-footer has been asleep on its trailer for a couple years. How pleasant to hear your narrations again, and to let the calming pace of your cinematography sink into the deeper parts. Blessings!

[@mhansl]

Dylan, we are missing your films.

[@bsdtec814]

Need more KTL Dylan fix !!! looking forward to the Fisher series !! keep turning left :) Hopefully the sailings going well.

[@chrismccartney8668]

Glad I found you been a member since the early Mirror Offshore and Volvo MD1 Devils engine days !!

[@jockstewart8793]

Oh that is definitely the boat for you! Once again thank you, your videos are what has encouraged my wife to join me sailing and we hope to make it to Lindisfarne this year.

[@KeepTurningLeft]

we had a marvelous time there. Loved the way the population ebbs and flows with the tide

[@jockstewart8793]

@@KeepTurningLeft It is your narration and sound that does it for her - she is blind and you do the audioscape perfectly!

[@anenigmawrapped]

Fantastic! Looks as though you will soon be (back) up the creek…. Good news all round.

[@KeepTurningLeft]

I can almost go anywhere the tide reaches now

ohhh my god, the voice of my childhood watching the DVD's 🥲

[@LittleOak-hk9rf]

Can you do more videos please

[@AlexPSNB]

I owned a Fisher 25 around 10 years ago it was one of the best boats I have owned a really good sea boat, carry on with your wonderfull videos. :) 😊

[@marilynchtheartist]

Hi Dylan ,we notice a couple of shorts recently about a Fisher , the penny dropped ! you have been drooling over one of these for long time , we are very happy for you - congratulations . Will you be filming your sailing adventures agin ? 🙂

[@davidmeeson4332]

Thank you very much for all your videos. I would have sent you a few quid a while back but there doesn't seem to be away to do so in the information on KZbin. Finally found it on your website. You could do with making it easier with a link through KZbin.

[@michaelbower4245]

That turned out well. Jolly impressed am I.

[@KeepTurningLeft]

I was a bit worried - however all is well that ends well

[@KeepTurningLeft]

and jolly relieved am I

[@juliancripps1580]

How was your trip to the Scilly isles. Very best wishes but i miss your films.

[@AnGhaeilge]

Are you still sailing Dylan? Forgot about your channel!

[@FrankB1110]

Hope everything is going well, cheers

[@3in1Machining]

How do you find your fisher 25, I'm thinking of getting one or a colvic 28.6 . How do the sail and handle at sea. Your guidance would be really appreciated.

[@KeepTurningLeft]

I could not be happier - she sails on rails with that rig and shallow keel. I sail as much in the winter time as in the summer - so the heated cabin is jolly good. I use a tiller extension when helming outside. Very comfortable interior. Not the fastest boat in the world - but that does not bother me. Buy one if you have the cash.

[@3in1Machining]

Thankyou for your recommendation, Im approaching retirement and not sure whether to go for a deep keel or a shallow draft. Whereas I see the pleasure you get during winter or summer sailing. Moreover sailing in unusual places. When retired there is no rush. Thanks again and I enjoy you channel and your mindset prorated in your videos. Thanks again.

[@benwoolf1079]

I really love the videos. How do I sign up to KTL? And why always a red foresail?

[@Scruffy1000]

Great job Dylan👍well thought through and executed , looks like that’ll more than do the job 👌 And then God rewarded you with a rainbow ......”which was nice”

[@KeepTurningLeft]

It was god who helped me through this trauma

[@tcastell5596]

Well done that man!

[@nickjoel5288]

Top work Dylan. Those beaching legs are very common around Brittany, less so here. I’ve made them for my boat but haven’t tried them out yet. Bit of an on/off day yesterday wasn’t it? We were getting damp at the Suffolk Show just up the road.

[@KeepTurningLeft]

I have to say the first time was a bit stressful... now I am hapy

[@smokingkippers1173]

Old fenders are brilliant packers and emergency seals. Apparently some people even use them as tool boxes...

[@KeepTurningLeft]

I had forgotten about that.... now I have dry bilges

[@noelnicholls1894]

Backing plates are often a pita to get right. Did you recess and fix the nuts in the backing plate ? As one supposes you would often stow the legs. And then a shorter bolt to act as a keeper? As against a pier the legs and soft board/fender would be an issue…..

[@ericauton6600]

Class boat and Skipper

[@sgfelectrical734]

Up to Suffolk this weekend and went a nice pub on a river…. looking out we see a boat just like this, so a little walk along the river bank just to confirm 👍🏻 hope the adventure is still going and that maybe there will be a flood of quality videos…… waiting in hope

[@glasshalffull5199]

Can you add steps either side to make a ladder on the leg?

[@normanboyes4983]

Hi Dylan - hope all well with you. It would be good to hear from you even without a video.😀👍⛵️

[@KeepTurningLeft]

still alive.. still sailing the fisher with the dodgy engine - thinking of converting it to lekkie

[@normanboyes4983]

@@KeepTurningLeft It would be a fun project but quite a challenge to do cheaply - the motor is the easy bit. But good to hear you are still having fun.😀👍⛵️

[@nicholasmorrill4711]

45 quid a bolt Dylan,that has got to be a record con.

[@KeepTurningLeft]

stainless steel M30 bolts x 300mm - I poked around the web before settling on UCC - they did a good job.

[@wilfulsprite555]

When are we going to see some of your Fisher adventures Dylan? Miss your videos!

[@autoculto7629]

Are there large pads/feet at the bottom to stop them sinking into the mud/sand

[@KeepTurningLeft]

No.... just 6 inches x 4 inches of three bits of 2 x 4 stuck together. It will be fine on sand, and gravel.... I will try mud

[@TROUROCKS]

@@KeepTurningLeft you should always check the the ground you plan to go on

[@TROUROCKS]

as this man certainly would

[@lynnkramer1211]

I haven't had one of your videos in my rotation in over a year or two. I wonder why YT would be censoring boat videos? When did you change boats to a Fisher? Do you still have the Katy L?

[@CheersWarren]

Very nice , I wondered what those huge bolts were for ! I do like the they bulwark idea, was it solid all the way thru? Cheers warren

[@KeepTurningLeft]

it is hollow but the walls are thick GRP. I had to sikaflex and bolt a one inch x 8 in x 8 inch ply backing late. Carentry through a letterbox.

[@stevec-b6214]

@@KeepTurningLeft looks like you cant `p` properly!

[@robertsmme]

Do the legs have feet so you could handle soft landings?

[@KeepTurningLeft]

the feet are 6 x 2 inches. Fine for shingle and sand..... I assume with soft mud they will just dig in - I shall do that test soon.

[@seanhansford9642]

i hurt my back getting you off! loved it anyway..haha

[@darrenlev4823]

Hi Dylan bit off topic to boats I apologise, but would you have a email I could contact you on regarding an old DVD that you made

[@KeepTurningLeft]

dylanwinter2@gmail.

[@jesbates8611]

nice job!

[@KeepTurningLeft]

TA - but have to see how it behaves as the boat settles in a small swell - then there will some clonking I assume.... but I am confident that the engineering worked. Was worried about the doubled up 2 x 4s

[@skaraborgcraft]

Jobsagooden. I like the cut fender. Just beware aireated sand, i once had aa leg sink and it pinned the boat down when the tide came in, had the bash the bolt out with the hull submerged, popped up ok, but hell of a job to dig the leg out.

[@KeepTurningLeft]

that sounds frightening. I was going to see what hapens with mud fairly soon.

[@dirkroadking3587]
