It's a new boat for Dinghy Cruising 

I clicked the like button..Is there a jealous button? :)

Greetings from Spain 🇪🇸. Thanks for sharing your adventures. Best dinghy cruising channel on RU-vid. Happy Sailing and always fair Winds. Cheers 🍺 Marcel

So peaceful, I love these videos, the sound of water lapping against the boats is therapeutic. Thanks as always Paul, Cheers!! ⛵⛵⛵

Ive had the pleasure of working for Swallow since before Matt took over from his dad, the bay raider 17 is one of my favourite designs to sail, second only to the storm petral. I've met Andrew Denman a few times on his trips over to visit and its good to see what a fine job he's made of the build. Congratulations In reference to a question i read in the coments, the beauty of the mizzen is that in a sudden squal you can sheet it in, the boat will weather cock to wind, drop the main and your good to go with a well balanced sail plan. No drama at all and quick to instigate You can also do a nice trick of sailing backward off a lee shore holding out the mizzen while steering

I'm buying one here in the United States! Glad to see a good video on a BR17 :)

Another great day or two of sailing!

Grazie mille!

I bought ply and CTop pine from Denman Marine 12 years ago to build a boat. Great guy and company. Lovely to see a new built boat on the water.

Another excellent video thanks Paul. We are soon planning to return to the Central Coast with the possibility of a side trip to Port Hacking before we sail north to our eventual mooring in the Clarence.

Congratulations on the new boat, she’s a beaut.

What a boat... Marlou is already a 'classic'...

Thanks Chris and thanks Paul! Just wonderful to see her on the Hawkesbury and look forward to some good times sailing together.

Great video (as always)!

Wonderful as always. Glad you put the images of the boats that were sent in. They keep me thinking, I could do this to!

Always like a good boat tour.

Nice looking boat! Always fun spending time on the water with you and your mates!

amazing

Muy lindos videos

She is a beauty!!!

I love that he named her after his sister. Sisters are special.

So much fun sharing the joy of unwrapping a new pressy. Thanks Paul and Chris. gary in Japan.

Great days Paul mucking about with mates and boats in that beautiful place in the world. Thanks for taking us along. Post script I don't know if you follow Chris and Sarah Anne down south he also puts out a great video fir blokes like us.

Thanks for another calming video. I noticed the built in step or MARLOU’s rudder and it reminded me of the steps on the rudder of my old Herreshoff 31. I don’t know why more boats don’t provide that convenience/safety feature. Being able to climb aboard from the water certainly outweighs any added drag.

Lovely boat and a successful launch - thanks for the video and hope to catch up with you guys on the Hawkesbury soon.

You make some *good* videos! That 17 footer is a 'purdy' little fart. 🙏🦉

Stunning boat. I love the Bayraiders, kind of like a Drascombe Lugger but completely and utterly modernised so they're fast, safe, easy to sail and have some great features. I'll add Iguanas onto the list of dangerous animals/insects that Aus has, but i'm gonna need a new notepad to fit them all in!!!!

This was an interesting fore sail set up.

On a scale of 1 to glorious, another video that is somewhere north of glorious.

Great video, and I'll say what a sweet boat, too! (but I'm biased)

Really like the Bay Raider series boats. Still trying to win lotto so I can afford one (sadly). The Welsford Navigator is my other choice, but hard to get second hand in Australia. My last yacht was a Bavaria 32, lovely easy to sail fixed keel boat. However, the cruising dingy offers so much adventure in Australia. There are many rivers to explore on the east coast, then Moreton Bay, Harvey Bay and then the Great Barrier Reef.

Another great video. I own the Bayraider 20, they are beautiful boats. Maybe an idea for a video is to go over different rigging types and there benefits. It maybe a little controversial since everyone has there favorites. Also when you guys are planning a cruise before you know wind conditions, in general how far do you plan to go in one day?

That boat with a trailer has to cost at least $30,000. I’d hate to ding it up like I have every boat I’ve built and the seagoing yachts I’ve owned. But I have them to use, not look at 😆

I love self tacking jibs

I believe MIT has the complete Herreshoff library in their collection. I think some drawings are available on line. I havent checked in awhile.

As Paul Hogan would say, “Now that’s an unboxing” excellent video Paul. Well deserved praise from your Spanish friend. So good the see Celery Top Pine being put to such good use.

Great job as always Paul.Some new music there?

What was the fin looking arrangement on his rudder? It's a nice looking boat, always thought that, they look like a working boat type which is very appealing

I just fell in love with MARLOU ! But she is under 18 (foot)

Is it fibreglass or wood construction? Gorgeous boat ❤

The afternoon sail looked awesome, beautiful boats curious to know if marlou has a center board? Im probs blind but didn't notice it 😅

Your mates` new boat looks awesome. Yours is nice, but it`s getting a bit old now, are you getting itchy feet? ;)

Paul , did you catch the new Bayraider 21 by Swallow ? I think that you dingy sailors would like it. Would you be able to test sail one and give a sailors review ? Paul in Canada

Its a lovely boat that Chris has got, but I hope he at least re-ties the jib sheet at the clew, looks like its only a thumb knot. Now he has a boat, he will have to learn, at the very least, a bowline.....

I'm still trying to understand the function of the "mizzen sail"... Why your mainsail has no boom,; etc. ? ( Oh well; She sails fine; Doesn't She?)...

Welsh design?

Me gustaría enviar fotos de mi velero. Es un dinghy 12 pies. No se cómo hacerlo

Another excellent video. I envy you guys living in such a nice country. Better than this third world shithole called England where i sail
