Thanks for sharing this. Great confidence in your boat and love the onboard music 😁 looks like a bit of an epic adventure 😁

The look of your tiller shows your boat is well balanced

Well done It's nice to watch a video of an English man in a small boat in typical English weather enjoying himself and not banging on..

Blasting QOTSA during a sail looks epic

Nice! My Iota 2 was a pain to stall like that as well - similar rocking and breathing if you weren't perfect in the backfly position. You going to go again?

Why is your boom so much longer than the unreefed mainsail foot?

Great real world small boat sailing footage...Dark, wet, blowy and pretty uncomfortable. Billiant!

I like this kind of video : no blablabla, just sailing ! Thanks for sharing.

Nice sail.

Thanks for the video, some good stuff, but could you leave your text on the screen for a little longer so us ordinary folks have time to absorb the information.

I did Lymington to Weymouth with Steve.

I find it's not necessarily the conditions themselves that are a concern but the worry about equipment failure at such a time. In my case it was the thought that every rivet on the mast and boom was 40 years old and I didn't know true condition of the rigging, chainplate U bolts and their backing pads? Following a bad experience with a failed rivet which released all the reefs a while back, I no longer take any chances. The risk of equipment failure is ever present but if you can rule out age and neglect it's one less thing on your mind when at the helm in a heavy sea.

Great video. 28ft of fun!

That’s some rough conditions for sure!

Nice video, but 9.7 knots in a Trapper 28? I can't see it...

Helmet not clipped up? 😝

Well done, great video, I am planning to do the same journey this coming spring

Well done Richard. Regards Rob

Good lad, Sail The Cloth Brother!

i have a trapper 500 ive sailed that rout many times portland race was a night mare ,i have her in france now in the med , i try not to get the gun rails in the water , always do when gusty . i have a roller main hard to reef at sea . i also have a old ys8 would love to swap for a 1 gm

Is that a snapdragon?

winch handle alert! Hatches open alert!

I have never sailed but always wanted to, maybe at 56 theres still time to start lol. How long did it take you to be confident to go solo? loved the video, will be searching out more

Cool trip! You had your decks nicely washed :) Fair winds!

ｐｒｏｍｏｓｍ

the headpicture is "clickbait" tilted and in reality the sea is not the problem , but getting into port could be risky

Listening to Muse? Great sailing video!

Decent sailing footage and conditions,well done. Have you considered doing next years 2023 jester challenge to Baltimore? ⛵️?

It’s amazing, scary but yet free being in such a small boat in such a big body of water. But I get it and I understand that sense of freedom that comes with it. I wish you happiness and safety on your adventures.

Nice one Richard, brought back memories of flying ballard and out to old Harrry, sketchy on the way out, was dropping like a stone until I got to the end, could have been interesting dropping in the drink there. I'm just getting into sailing myself, not got a boat yet but I'll be very interested to hear more of your adventures. Thanks for sharing! Looked epic👍

When was this?

I find it a lot more comforting to keep my hatches closed during heeling in heavier seas. Never messed up enough to put her on her side, but seeing how fast and open companionway will flood a boat is not an option I've ever wanted to experience.

I loved my Simga 9. Such a playful wing

How about buying some fluffy stuff for the microfone? Even a demolished synthetic hairy toy can work great. This BGGGGGGG GGGGG sound is not necessary at all, nowadays.

Awesome sailor

I loved the vlog.. also liked the rails in the water.. you had a lean going there.. are you using sheet to tiller steering?

Fun to watch

I do that trip quite a bit in my boat- you did well- that is real sailing in a small cruiser- good on you!

Hi, Thanks for that. My friend had an identical trapper 28 in weymouth for many years. Name. Sundowner.

What is the name of the boat?. I think i know it.

Balls!

Looks like a few times I spent on lake Michigan.

loved the footage, very nice, but you may want to keep that traveler car down in those winds

Haul the main up by hand and use the mast winch at the end to taughten it. Keeping a second winch handle at the mast base is a good idea too. Bungee it down or rig it onto the mast, depending on your space / preference. I watched this with a view to seeing footage of the entrance and channel into Weymouth. You may find that yotties visiting the English coast will follow your channel / subscribe etc if you include pilotage aspects ... fair winds and calm seas to you.

Dude I'm in portland rn 😂

Handled well, thanks for sharing 😎

I love sideways sailing

What Kind of boat is that?

beautiful sailing area, a picturesque coast... sailed there the same way and was envious of the locals !

well done, especially whith that nice tiny boat. greetings from Sardinia, sooner or later I'd like to sail there...
