To celebrate my 20th 'Sailing Tumbler' video I bring you the Director's cut of our 2022 Norfolk Broad adventure. Seven days of sailing heaven surrounded by waterborne history and stunning wildllife, spent aboard the beautiful Wood Sorrel, built in 1933, and rented from the amazing Hunter's Yard on Womack Water. Enjoy!
If you're thinking about hiring a sailing boat to explore the Broads I can throughly recommened Hunter's Yard. They look after an amazing collection of cabin yachts, half deckers, and new additions such as the Swallow and Amazon dinghies from the 1974 film. It's also a beautiful place with a century of boat building history and some very nice people! Go and see them - huntersyard.co.uk/about/

Very nice! How did you find the self-tacking jib? I've not sailed on a boat with one.

You don’t really notice it. It works when needed and stays quiet when it isn’t. Very occasionally you send someone to the foredeck to back it by hand in close quarter manoeuvring but otherwise you leave it alone. Most of the time on the Broads you sail on the top of the main, and make decisions on that basis.

Interesting. I suppose in theory you could still have port and starboard jin sheets, which most of the time would be loose, and then use them when you need to back the jib. I'm just thinking ahead to if I ever get a cruiser, as I'd likely be single-handed much of the time. (Which is no problem with our Tideway 12!)
