Last Sunday.......

[Seanick]

Last Sunday a friend made this vid of the old tub.....

http://www.vimeo.com/5915644



Its about 2 mins long, and was the begining of a daysail out to the Nab, then to Pompey and home. The seagulls had made a real mess so there was a bit of frantic scrubbing before we left.

Thanks to Richard Gooderick for filming it!

Very, very nice.

Thanks for posting.

Funnily enough, she looks the same as when I normally see her sailing in the harbour! She does go well though. Hope to see you somewhere west over the next few weeks!

Not only that but I cycled right past her for weeks when she was on chocks in Emsworth Yacht Harbour for a while - always meant to look up who she belonged to!

Very nice indeed. If only I had the time to look after a propper wooden classic. I have to put up with a plastic-classic...

Thanks Nick.
A real treat to see a proper workman like Craft I particular liked the water sail off the main's boom.
Did I spot a new four legged member to your crew in there.

Lovely footage of a beautiful boat....also a great backing tune on the fiddle, love the double-stopping!

Glad you liked the water sail, though we call it a bonnet, like on a square rigger, the lug rig being only a notch away from that rig.
No booms though!!

The four legger is Sharon, a super seadog, under Master martin of the Half moon.



annroweTR10, whats double stopping???

Down you way hopefully next week. Headed for Penryn for a bit.

Yes I was not sure on that, "water sail / bonnet", Would a water sail be a lot deeper ' ie over the side of the boat and all most down to the water '.
Please accept my sincere apologies for making any untimely four legged assumptions.

Double stopping is playing two notes at the same time (i.e. two strings), kind of a partial chord, and a technique I'm trying to get to grips (literally!) with. Gives a very unique and full sound and very popular with folk tunes.

Guessing you were taking part in the Falmouth Classics, which I missed seeing this year, having sailed from Plymouth to Dartmouth, then back via Salcombe to watch the National Fireworks Championships. Trying to make the most of the weather whilst it lasts, just back to work today and tomorrow and escaping back to the boat tomorrow night!

As I understand it, a water sail is a sail lowered into the water over the bow of the boat or ship to catch the currrent and use it to pull the boat through the water. I believe that during the days of sail ships used to use this device to exit the Gibraltar Strait against a headwind, as there is a constant outflow from the Med to the Atlantic.

Thanks for that info. It sounds quite tricky. I have been tortureing my guitar with the same three chords for years so I play all 5 strings at the same time, or is it 6??

Apart from a long weekend down to Looe and back in June, we have only had a couple of daysails, but on Monday starts the Big Summer Holiday of two weeks, so hope to get from Chichester to Falmouth. This means (like last year) we will probably spend a week gale bound in the Solent........

Mind you, the forecast looks good from monday on????? Even a bit of NE???????

No, silly me, it will be on the nose, SW5-6.......

rabbling now.......
