We make these films just for fun, and we hope that you have enjoyed watching them however we have been asked on a couple of occasions now if we have a Patreon account. We don’t want to do that at this stage as we feel it would turn the channel into a business, and as we said at the beginning, this is all just for fun. However if you would like to support us and feel you could help contribute to the cost of making these films then you can do that via our PayPal account here. A big thank you to everyone that has already done this, its a great help.

nice sailing great too see three people from the same family in the same boat without shouting at each other enjoyable

[@SailingwiththeFoxwellFamily]

We cant guarantee there wont be some shouting some times :-)

[@graemescott990]

Really enjoyed the calm racing with your daughter. What a great way to encourage her and calm her fears.

[@SailingwiththeFoxwellFamily]

Thank you!

[@gibbousmoon35]

Nice! I had one child who was nervous about many things, but completely fine with boats and another who was fine with most things, but took quite a while to get comfortable with boats. 😂

[@SailingwiththeFoxwellFamily]

Yup there is no accounting for what different people like and dislike is there

[@Jamiegrigor]

Really enjoyed watching this lessons being learned for when my daughter comes sailing, nice charm relaxed and reassuring. Lovely to see

[@SailingwiththeFoxwellFamily]

Spring finally came although on certain days it doesn't seem like it wants to stay. Excellent to see you out enjoying a day on the water. Please video more.

[@tonyhunt4206]

People trying to sail through the lee of a Wayfarer - unbelievable!

[@SailingwiththeFoxwellFamily]

Yup not going to happen is it

[@Tantura_1948]

Nice sailing.... but you need a yacht...😊

[@SailingwiththeFoxwellFamily]

one day :-)

[@b0ne5ish]

Nice video, thanks! Boat should have done a turn at 37:31 for touching a mark.

[@rocykel]

I thought so too, but you can't really tell from the video if it touched or not.

[@b0ne5ish]

@@rocykel the flag wrapped over her head! definitely touched.

[@rocykel]

@@b0ne5ish Ok, I thought it was buoy-hull contact that mattered. That would be the logical rule. I don't race.

[@mytube001]

How many different dinghy classes raced together here?

[@SailingwiththeFoxwellFamily]

Thats the way racing is in the UK with most club racing being done on a handicap basis. Not as good as fleet racing but then any sailing is better than non at all
