- I motored my Cal 27 called mongo out to kawau island to see a boat i had brought sight unseen about a month ago. A Salthouse 25/cav 26. What I think is the coolest yacht design ever. I then after this video towed it back to Mahurangi (About 25ks) Two yachts and a dingy all with a 6hp Johonson! What an impressive motor! It took 2 hours to motor there and 4 to get back. Thankfully there was no wind!
Your amassing your own personal Armada!! Fleet admiral of Mahurangi. 😅
Hi Jason. You always have so much on the go! I'll be heading to Mahurangi end of next week for my first visit to Puddle Jumper since I bought it from you.. so excited but of course very scared since I haven't been on the water in 20+ years :)
Nice, that has a lot of potential.
Question...Do you have to register a boat you buy.. or are the SR14 (owner) and SR4 (purchaser) forms + fee enough?...Are you selling any other boats apart from salt house atm?
what about raft them up then raise both the mainsails like a biplane rig catamaran? and maybe tie the tillers to that boat hook so you can steer them both at once?
Interesting. Would that work? Kind of like making it into a catamaran? Towing worked though. Thankfully the wind didn't come up right until i got into Mahurangi harbor. I was lucky though. it could have been a lot harder. I'll take it of the water over winter and give it a new life. Probably at the concrete works. I like that place.
@@mycrazyboatlife probably not but it might be fun to try? actually I once sailed my catamaran a short distance with a smaller multihull rafted to the side! but a multihull has enough stability on it's own that the masts wouldn't bang into each other. hmm I bet it would work if you just set the sails on the leeward boat, but steer on both? or set up something (like a pole) to stop the masts hitting each other. light wind only, obviously!
I like your method of towing using the anchor so that you can anchor the boat when you want to stop towing! I am sure I will find my self using that one day!
Revised title: I drilled another hole in the water into which I shall pour more money.
