    RUS: шкипер из Хорватии Игор Стропник прошел за 9 дней 400 километров вдоль побережья своей страны на крошечном динги длиной всего 2,3 метра. По его собственным словам, получил огромное удовольствие - благо погода в течение всего путешествия была отличная.

    I am actually trying to build a small boat (2,60 m) which is able to use rowing and saling. The bottom is a surfboard which failed the paddle test so I am putting a hull on with a round bow inspired by the scow boats vith an optimist dagger board when used at sailing.

I have 2 of them, so I´m still deciding if i just take one with a rig or take 2 as a catamaran, Like the Genua you have made with the trimming in front... good work !

      Thanks Igor, but maybe I'm just ignorant. I was under the impression there was no ring or method of attachment to the mast for a spin pole. I think it was that question that was in my head when I commented. So my question really was, how did you attach the spin pole to the mast?

    • @IgorStropnik
      @IgorStropnik  Před 4 lety +1

      @@jeremyrainman I put ring on the mast with rivets. Just as any sailboat has for spinnaker pole. Than I bought small end for spinnaker pole and put it on alu pole. For attaching ropes I used screw with ring and put it through alu pole and than washer and nut. I would send you pictures but I sold the boat yeras ago.

    I love this. We are saving up to buy a Pudgy this winter. I would love to know more about your sail rig, as it is clearly MUCH higher performance than what is offered by the manufacturer. Any chance of a video walk-through of your rig? Thanks!!!

    • @IgorStropnik
      @IgorStropnik  Před 9 lety +13

      Original rig is too small for sailing with winds under 20kn. This is custom rig with 8,5m2 made at home. Pudgy is good boat, well built but it will never be a good sailing dinghy. Shape of the hull is not designed for fast sailing and the boat is imposible to plane. In 20kn winds and 2m waves I could not plain it. The boat starts to go over bow with so much power in sail. It is very seaworthly boat until waves start braking into the cockpit. Than you have a lot of work that will bring you to fatigue. Good upwind sailing is impossible. If you want to enjoy sailing buy other boat. If you want it for offshore safety dinghy I think few modifications must be done. If you want it for costal or lake weekend rowing or fishing it is very good boat but for that price you get many biger boats...

      SMARNAGORA
      Thanks for the quick reply! Yes, I understand the limitations. We are primarily buying it as a bulletproof tender for a 45ft sailboat. (I'm tired of maintenance on inflatable hulls.) Yet, there are times when we are at anchor (or dock) for extended periods of time and I just want to go "play" around for a few hours by raising a sail in a bay, etc... I've got a few 8m-10m windsurfing sails that I might try to modify for my pudgy before resorting to their standard rig. (Modified to use an uphaul instead of downhaul).
      Great bowsprit - I'm impressed by your ideas! Cheers!

    Hello Igor! I enjoy your channel very much, especially because being a profi you still like to sail small boats. What is this tiny dinghy you sail in this video?
    Do not mind, just found it-Portland pudgy
