Excellent sailing video. Well done. Paul Canada

For anyone thinking of a small yacht.... the things I had to consider, was solo launching and recovery back on the trailer, solo mast raising and lowering..... my maximum towing capacity and what length I could find parking for at my home. For me this equated to a Ultimate 18.... remember all boats are a compromise! If you live much more than an hours drive to the water, then you should consider owning a moored boat can become a ball and chain, requiring you to check on it at least every two weeks, and keep up with the running maintenance !

Great video - some boats stretching the definition of a dinghy though!

Thanks from New Jersey, USA. Love all the different boat models and rigs and personalities. Wonderfully positive channel. "Good for the soul."

Paul , video was not up to your usual standard. Paul Canada

Your back lol Paul Canada

Some recent research has hinted that goanna bites may also include some venom…..

What a beautiful boat, I am all sorts of jealous. Only at the beginning of my sailing career, but love watching your adventures, they're great inspiration for the future! Many thanks from (sometimes) sunny London 🇬🇧, cheers, Dan

Me is sad... me is colourblind...

Like the video what kind of keel does the Pamila B have ?

wonderful videos. Watch to relax and inspire. Thanks

I have now watched all of your videos and become a new subscriber. Love the content, format and the way you present the joy. I am an avid canoe, kayak and row boater from my youth. I never bothered to jump to motorboats because I truly enjoy to quiet, slow pace of self-power. I have always wanted to learn to sail but all my ill fated attempts only served to enhance my swimming abilities. Thanks for all you share. Can’t wait till the next video.

Your laughter is infectious! Even realizing that there's a lot of time edited out, it still appears that your group takes things in stride. Thank you for taking us along. I recently purchased a Peep Hen - 14' of potential. Hopefully I can fall in with a group of blind optimists as well, in the Chesapeake Bay, USA. Fair winds!

Thank you. From Canada

None of your friends even come close to your peaceful articulation of the experience you are enjoying

It's over already?? I was just reaching total relaxation. Great boats and always a great video Paul! Thanks for sharing and as always, Cheers mate!!

I’m interested in, if / how you solve the heeling over, taking on water problem. Maybe increasing ballast, maybe increasing the weight of your center board, maybe releasing the jib or main sheet to dump the gusting wind, maybe moving to the boat’s high side, maybe some combination? Heh, heh, taking on water is no joke. Thanks for sharing your adventure…from east Tennessee.

Nice to see underway19:36

Let the evidence speak…must be bloody good sausage…

It looked cold. The appeal of sailing in Sydney is to avoid the cold!

ich liebe kleine boote und baue kleine boote,,,und verstehe nicht, warum die gekauften boote so verbaut sind, dass man kaum zu 2.darin platz findet...viel zu grosse plicht, zu kleine kabinen, immer noch ruderpinnen und dann veralteten mast und rigg...keine neuheiten, keine ideen,,,nix...

Wonderful story about your father.

Just love your boat!

Thanks for taking us along Paul. I love that you can pull together 20 boats for an event like that! Great fun to watch as I'm planning for another wilderness adventure with my daughter the end of the week.

Another cracker! Thanks Paul. I have found a design for a wayfarer with a cabin. Am I up to the job? We will see

Great video as always - love the Aussie banter! 😂

Another great SLK cruise! Not to be pushy-geeky, but at 15:22, it's pronounced "fa", according to my Vietnamese relatives, despite the mis-anglicized spelling. Not that it would interfere at all with your fine sailing skills... Cheers, and thank you!

Great video. Happy blokes getting out and haveing fun. Nice!!

In these parts having a shark go under your bow is considered very good luck. Having a shark come over your stern, not so much .

Hey! I recognize those clouds! You must be in Oklahoma!!!

Fantastic! Good turn-out and fun croud. I liked the flower pot heater idea, but now have to figure out why its so flammable. Unless it gets too hot.

Where was the fire scene Paul?Just because you got naked and danced around in the rain is no reason not to show it 😂

We are in summer here!! Planning a river raid this next weekend for our Holiday! Great Sail!

The name of the Caribou 17 made my day ... !

Thanks Paul. Always great videos, look forward to them.

Another great expression of the Sydney Raid Group! You have a bunch of characters that make for great viewing. Thanks for sharing!!

Great vid mate, neat to see you all having fun 👍Cheers.

hi Paul, currently i am still a tinny boater, however am keen on dinghy sailing . how does one find out when you go on a raid, as i'd love to join you, albeit with a 2 stroke tinny, so that i can pick everyones brains to help me make the transition. cheers, frank from sydney

Encore une sortie très passionnante et pleine de rebondissements.

I live boating in tge rain interestingly enough I find it quite relaxing. Now granted at 81 my sailing days are over but I do have a very comfortable 21 ft power cuddy cabin and after 20 years of ownership I finally have it just about the I want it That said you and I both know we're never content with the way things are always looking to change or improve something even if it's only in our own minds eye. Cheers Paul thanks as always for another greatcraid always makes my daycwhen I wake up and see one of your posts.

Another great one Paul. For those who are not familiar with Teo, the Portuguese builder that Paul mentioned, here is his maiden voyage in his Ozgoose. czcams.com/video/oh9ekSvhskM/video.html gary in Japan

Congratulations to John on the magnificent Oz Goose he built. It looks amazing. I like the tasteful way he "dirtied up" the name decal! I have a Michael Storer boat (Oz Racer) and always enjoy seeing them featured.

Nice, thanks.. I remember Glen’s boat, was fast and I would just follow the boat with the red sails.. cheers.

If it's not the Tasmanian dinghy mob teasing us Mexicans, it's you lot up there. I'm at a thousand feet in Central Victoria. On the winter solstice we had an overnight low of minus something and a frost you could ski on. It's 8 degrees outside, at the moment, 95% humidity and showers. Watching you guys really makes me think that I took a wrong turn somewhere in life. Especially the closing shot of you sailing in clear blue skies. Thanks for the content, again.

Great vid Paul.

Another great video, Paul!! Some pretty good laughs in this one, too. “Last One II” is such a great boat name. I love it.

These old boys are having more fun than people on their super multimillion dollar super yachts

Thoroughly enjoy your videos and channel. The sound, videography and editing are excellent. You are either a very gifted amateur or have worked in the industry professionally. You have rekindled my desire to return to 'messing about in boats'. Thank you again and if you run into that tall Canadian Mark in his Farrier Tri on another raid say hello from me😊

How long have you been a vegetarian?

Enjoy your channel so much, I’m starting back at the beginning to binge watch!
