Making Sure My CJR Dory is Safe for the Water - Part 1

Hello and thank you for stopping by! Thanks also for the support and subs! We are just ordinary guys who love playing with boats, cars, mowers etc so join us for fun...and disasters! In this video I am going through some safety checks and preparing my boat ready to take out on the water for some fun!

Your S K E G at bottom of motor is not bad.It can be built up by someone who knows what they are doing but I have seen simalar perform all right.CHEERS from HERE!

Thank you! That's really good to know, hope to get it out on the water this year now I've had surgery.

That broken fin on the bottom of the motor is called a skag, and if it's not all there the boat will not handle good at all,

[@skipperstan]

That's interesting to know, thank you! I will have to get that sorted before I take it out on the water, could cause a few issues otherwise. ⚓

I used to have one of these boats, went out to sea, hit two waves and the cabin windows fell out!
I sold it shortly after because even on a calm sunny day it felt like i was out in a storm 😂

OMG! Too scary! I haven’t taken mine out on the water yet as the weather has been too bad this year, looking forward to some fun on the water though! ⚓️

@@skipperstan it will be great fun

The windows obviously cannot have been put in properly if they fell out, come on.

@petersalmon2695 the cabin flexed so much they just popped out, it waa a terrible sea boat compared to a Shetland 535 for example

@@fat_tommo_goes_boating it must have been one rough swell, 35 yrs trawling I never seen that happened, glad no one injured
