A dinghy cruising channel that documents the adventures of the Heron class dinghy 'Kingfisher' , and a newly acquired Welsford Navigator we call ‘Trim’, on their journeys around Sydney and NSW, Australia.
I recently discovered your ... and a bunch of other guys you sail with ... channels Top notch stuff . Best no nonsense advice I heard ... Don't come out here unless you are ready for it , and have a plan B .
Hi Josh , i'm Doing a coversion on an Old Heron (in NZ ) I'm doing pretty much as you have done . ? how do you get full rudder on the Tack with the Mizzen just of centre line ? how is the helm under a good breeze ? it looks like theres a bit of weather helm , good , and how far forward of C Lat resistants dod you put cenrtre of Effort ? thanks Bob.
I live on the central coast of California. Grew up in and around the local harbor. Always daydreamed of boat camping up and down the coast in the warm summer. Cherry pick the finest days. So many great spots. The adaptations for dingy camping could easily be applied to a small van, or truck and camper. There's so much to see out there.
Are you going to have to get a mast head light next - just in case you are caught in the dark? I am sure you can get a battery operated remote controlled one. Lovely galley box!
Thank you for this video. I was surprise that you will stop cruising, as spring is coming now. No ! Of course ! You live on the over side of the planet ! Autum is coming for you ! (I'm calling from Brittany-France).🙂So have nice repair on your boat and see you next... season...
Thank you Christophe. Winter sailing is actually really good here in Australia but Trim needs her hull repaired and refinished. Enjoy your sailing season!
It’s called One Tree Island- I was a bit disappointed about the previous day so was determined to get some island footage. It’s quite close to Soldiers Point. Cute, huh?
Enjoyed that Josh. Was quite crazy out there!! The waves never look quite so big on RU-vid as they are in real life so they were getting there weren't they and probably a good decision to turn back! Some of us "Europeans", if you can call British people that any more, are always looking for the quiet serene spots that are increasingly hard to come by on our crowded little island, so I love watching your channel and the lovely quiet spots in abundance. Every sail is truly a mini adventure! Thank-you very much for sharing the new Galley box and the rubbish bag idea and keep flying the drone! Mine took a dip in Lake Ullswater recently but fortunately had insurance so it only cost me £62 for a new one with new battery!!! You have to take the risks to get the good shots!! Happy sailing
What a terrific sail the first day! Love the galley box -great idea to use recycled bin to line it. Good luck with the repairs and look forward to your next sail.
Yes, dji mini 2 se. The most basic but the quality is awesome. Thanks for advice prior to departure. You really need a tailwind for Broughton. Or a 12 hour day!
Great video Josh setting the bar higher for us open boat dinghy cruisers poking your head outside port Stephens heads. Well done congratulations and very good tips with rubbish and galley box.
Great video Josh. Terrific content sea birds, island, fast sailing, vegetation and of course the prized piece of furniture - the galley box - with dowell joints!
Cool micro cruise, great content, Great shots and thanks for picking up the rubbish ( imagine if we all did the same or not leave it in the first place) 👍
