Love how you have kitted your boat out with modern rigging (sheets, lines, shrouds, blocks, low friction rings, etc. Well done!)

Thank you. It has been fun upgrading the rigging and hardware and has made a huge increase in performance. Everything works smoothly and makes sailing even more fun!

What Larry and Lin Pardy said about cruising applies to sailing in general: Go small, go simple, but go NOW.

Thank you! It seems like there’s lots of beautiful lakes to sail around the mountains there and the N16 is perfect for that. Thanks for watching and fair winds!

Thank you for sharing. I really enjoy watching your adventures, although they are bitter sweet for me as I do miss my orange Newport 16.

Hey, thanks for watching the videos and have a great 4th!! Sandpoint is a great place to be and we always enjoy our time up there .

As someone who almost bought a trailer sailer, (I ended up with a grampian 26 on lake ontario I drive 40 mins to sail), this video makes me very very happy. Great video, and I've subscribed! All the best from Peterborough Ontario.

That blue Ruddy Duck looks just like a Sirius Siren 17 that I had back in the mid 70's. Brings back some memories.

Thank you for sharing your adventures, but the music is VERY distracting. Could you either lower the volume or choose something more calming in the intro.

@ruddyducksailing

2 ай бұрын

Thanks for watching and I appreciate your opinion. I usually have the music volume up a little bit to build a little excitement at the start to match our excitement starting the trip. I also like loud music so it’s probably my style. I’ll have some chill videos for sure but I like to match the mood.

@@ruddyducksailing This is such a common problem, usually with music enjoyed only by a very few that I wonder if creators could put some kind of notation on the screen so we know when to un-mute?

Thanks for this lovely video ! That's the spirit ! I just bought a 1962 16 footer Jouët Tiburon which looks a lot like the Newport 16. Cheers from Lake Neuchâtel, Switzerland :)

Boys: You’re no wrong pirating PRINGLES from the Mother Ship. We found PRINGLES are ubiquitous in virtually every grocery store we shopped when we were sailing from Canada south and then west through the entire South Pacific island groups. They are a staple aboard S/V Tahnee Mara.

lol. Yes pringles are a favorite provision and they go fast!! They’re also nice because they can roll around in a bilge and not get all smashed up

How long does it take you to rig these boats from trailer to sailing?

@ruddyducksailing

2 ай бұрын

On average about a half hour. I usually set up everything while on the trailer. To set up mast, boom, sails, lines, outboard, rudder, and launch takes me 20 minutes but I’ve done it quite a few times so I’m pretty quick.
