We look at the French super dinghy, the Vivier Morbic 12 with her proud owners Michael and Sarah Curtis. Expensive? Take a look and discover this beauty. There's only two that we know of in the UK. and she could be the best 12ft dinghy you'll ever see.

Lovely couple, lovely boat, lovely video -- haven't been sailing in years, just bought a 12-foot fiberglass boat, very similar in hull shape, lapstrake as well, and I plan to do some of the things to mine that they've done to theirs. I want to teach my grandsons to sail (That's my excuse, and I'm sticking to it!) . . .

Thanks for sharing, Michael, Sarah, and Bob. :)

I like the extra spacing on the seating planks, stylish! Nice video, boat and people too!

@scottjohnson9032 Год назад

Looks like a perfect pairing, very nice

@guyclifford4473 6 лет назад

They're putting some nice scratches on the hull riding up and down those concrete walls!!!

“Beauty” = Agreed. “ ..could be the best 12ft dinghy you'll ever see” - We’ve sailed ours a few times and can confirm it is a great little boat. “… only two that we know of in the UK” - Possibly true when filmed. There are now several currently in build, and believe others may already be sailing. There is a UK Morbic website

@johnhaughey5347 3 года назад

Beautiful boat, may I ask,is the head sail or jib a nice addition to the balanced lug. I'm building a Penny Fee and I have options of a balanced lug with or without mizzen, and a Gaff rig,with or without mizzen. I am going to start with lug yawl with a view to adapting to Gaff at a later stage.But if the lug with jib works I might just add the bowsprit and forget about the Gaff set up.

Have you ever done dinghy cruising with your Morbic 12? (big fan of Arthur Ransome)

Great Video and lovely boat, was it Cobnor where you launched?

@myclassicboat9083 6 лет назад

Yes, The Cobnor Estate - take a look its a great place

@steve1978ger 6 лет назад

I could have sworn this beautiful little boat is a lugger, not a gunter, but these can be confusing.

@q.e.d.9112 5 лет назад

steve1978ger It is and they said so. The Gunter was a different boat they had. Incidentally, a Gunter is properly referred to as a “Gunter lug”. A very handsome and practical little boat, IMO.

@johnhaughey5347 3 года назад

Can anyone shed their views on a balanced lug with jib,,It looks like it sails well,I'm building a boat and might try this rig type

@PeopleMakePictures 4 года назад

I'd love to have things that I dont have to pay for.

@lukederkovitz2297 5 лет назад

@londonboywanderer306 4 года назад

Really nice couple and a lovely boat I hope to be at Cobnor this year look forward to seeing you and the morbic there

@canyonhaverfield2201 6 лет назад

tremendous to see you back at play ! Thanks for your ongoing generously.. & Michael and his love Sarah just the most delightful pair of human beings . My you two always have just the right kind of day !

@BrunoWiebelt 6 лет назад

lovely 3 of you ...;)

@christophernoto 6 лет назад

Ah, now you've got me, personally, targeted! I've been looking at sail & oar boats in the 14 to 19 foot range over the last year, with Vivier, Oughtred, and Welsford designs being the obvious stars, and Ross Lillistone a lesser known, but still very worthy candidate. You've turned out another lovely video, with a great little boat and a very winning couple. They've certainly gilded the lily, but I can't say I wouldn't do it, myself, under the right conditions. :)

@chrisgalvin8747 3 года назад

Thank you so much for sharing really encouraging to someone looking to begin Dinghy sailing, Very relaxing film thank you!

@WoodoakWilderness 4 года назад

I really love that wonderful boat. The shape and lines are out of this world. I wonder if there are any building plans for one.

@AndyJarman Год назад

Lovely to see a couple so obviously happy with each other.

@chrisarmstrong8082 4 года назад

Is the lovely Welsh lake in the mountains Lake Vyrnwy by any chance? Me and my wife ended up there purely by chance a few years back and managed to hire the only dinghy in sight, an old wooden wayfarer. It was the best sailing we’ve ever done! Beautiful place.

Real sport. Hello from Kyiv.)

@paulbriggs3072 5 месяцев назад

Nice boat but that lower transom edge does drag underwater. Less drag if it was smaller or did not show up until it was a bit further aft and thus up out of the water.

Sailing on the very cheap if on a budget

@bergen95 6 лет назад

Lovely, many thanks to all involved. Also an interesting trailer with a detachable part. How is this type called?

@myclassicboat9083 6 лет назад

I will contact the owners and find out

@myclassicboat9083 6 лет назад

Hi there, this is the reply from the owner: The trailer came from Admiral Trailers Ltd., Unit 28, Flightway Business Park, Dunkeswell, Devon. EX14 4RJ. Tel. 01404 891 913. www.admiraltrailers.co.uk They shaped the trolley to the hull shape, (from a provided profile), and fitted docking arms. One docking arm snapped just above the bracing. Too much unbraced weight waving around when towing! Had it re-welded then cut both arms off short and extend them with push on plastic waste pipe before launching. Otherwise an excellent trailer that does well what it should. For reference it was ordered by Adrian Donovan, the boat builder, and collected in April 2016.

@BigFiveJack 5 лет назад

Certainly beautiful! Nice boat too...

@RoryL83 4 года назад

Cute lil old couple

@Josef_R 6 лет назад

Any idea what the boat cost, since he refused to say? I have no idea what a saloon car is.

@myclassicboat9083 6 лет назад

Have a look at their web site www.vivierboats.com all become clear. A saloon car? That's a 1950's UK expression for a family 4 door medium price range car. Thanks for watching

@steffenbjoern 5 лет назад

Oh yes, I can understand Sarah Curtis very well. With that really pretty beauty, you've got a nice conversation starter. My experiences are the same. And I always feel very proud, when sailors of all those big ships come to me stating that my boat is the most beautiful in the harbour. Besides that, I am very keen about this phantastic trailer. Do you have details about it? Have a great sailing season Bjoern from shallop "Knutt"

@MrBrucetho 4 года назад

Wonderful story. Thank you. I found the boat trailer very interesting. Not sure we have a comparable design here in the USA. Just the thing for a 12-16" boat

@danielforde-pogson 4 года назад

LOvely boat (and couple - like everyone else is saying!!) I love the detachable bowsprit and the lack of standing rigging.

@gerrys6265 3 года назад

Beautiful! thanks for sharing. Mine isn't so fancy, but I also love the small 12' size sailing - more fun than my 39 footer in fact.

@almath9987 6 лет назад

Another good video and nice boat if on the tad expensive side.

@almath9987 6 лет назад

EdithHead see attached link www.vivierboats.com/en/new-morbic-12-for-sale/ the web is a wonderful thing, €9,600 seem expensive to me for a sailing dinghy only my opinion.

@almath9987 6 лет назад

EdithHead look at the one for sale it certainly does look as good as spec. Still a nice boat

@fabmanly1070 3 года назад

Clinker hull with a lateen rig , classic !

@plinkbottle 5 лет назад

A 12ft boat of that design looks big... Beautiful thing to have but will never sell for anything near the original price unless to the right person.. A young bloke might think it was just an old heap of rubbish.

@pwat3091 4 года назад

Ah, maybe, but what do young people know?
