I also have another one which acts as food store box or camera gear storage box depending on the voyqge being undertaken. I designed the galley box around the trangia and with room for cleaning and cooking utensils and enough food space for a two day one overnight voyage. Stable enough for use in the boat at anchor or easily carries up the beach. One of my recent cellars beach river yealm videos shows the box in good use on the beach. I also use it out the back of the car on long stargazing astrophotography trips .

For some odd reason, these small dinghies lacking a lot of comfort seem to bring a lot of joy to their owners. I enjoyed every bit of your video and adventures.

Poor Arwen is battered, bruised, with epoxy where it didn't need to be; alerations which I didnt plan or think through thus making her deck hatch difficult to access; and chunks out of her rub rails. But, to me she is beautiful, safe, reliable, forgiving and so much more. As for our creeks - yes many of them are stunning and i am very, very lucky. I hope to get up some more between now and october. the galley box, although not a pretty finish, is functional and works well for a two day trip. Hope you are well Donald. Thanks for the comments.

Good morning Sir, Just found your channel, watched your video and subscribed. I enjoy the smaller open boat camping videos. I have a small boat 23 foot Aquarius Sloop. It’s not an open boat, but For some reason I find the smaller boats romantic, cozy. But, I do like the camping feeling of your open boats. Your kitchen box looks very handy to. Looking forward to more of your videos. Best from America

hello - thanks for the kind comments and for subscribing. small boats are wonderful and can sneak into places bigger boats can't reach.....the old carlsberg ad on UK TV - paraphrased - 'small boats [carlsberg beer] reach the parts other boats [beers] can't reach'. The galley box is a work in progress and I may change it as I use it more.

Nice galley and dinning table. Beautiful view.

Hi and Thank you a very nice video I have no boat at the moment but that will soon change in the near future it's some fifty years since I last sailed a boat .I Retire next year so looking forward to taking some sailing Training to refresh my memory then I can enjoy Sailing in my Retirement. I live in Lancashire about eleven miles from Southport and a hour and half drive from the lake District and the River Ribble is on my door step that is navigatable up to Preston and a bit beyond in a small boat plenty of canals to investigate as well so I Will Keep watching your channel and utube for tips like your Galley box Thanks Geoff.

Hi LL Sorry for the late comment but I only just found the site. I retired from work 2 years ago I now have a small part time job. Having done the whizz around sailing for many years (did the Dart 18 world's twice ) I now want a more relaxed and soul reaffirming form of sailing . Found two possibles. A 16 foot Falmouth Yawl with loads of gear at £2795 or something much less traditional and much lighter to launch a Wanderer for £695 . I'm sure it won't be long before in back on the water. Happy sailing LL

I'm enjoying looking at dingy setups for camping. I like how much they can hold, the simplicity, and that they have enough space for sleeping. However, are you able to right it if it were to capsize? Any flotation?

@plymouthwelshboy

3 жыл бұрын

Firstly I try to avoid sailing in conditions where there is a risk of capsize. Secondly, I have righted Arwen when she was empty. Never tried when she has been full. She does have a huge amount of flotation in the form of lockers....so stern and side seats are lockers, as are centre and front thwarts. Then there is a large locker under the foredeck as well. When going coastal cruising, I add in two temporary buoyancy bags low down along the centrecase as well

Lovely,will be up there myself next week. My friend was only talking about her grandfather who worked at Treluggan quarry the other day,she said the barges that used to come up to there and Poldrissick used to drag heavy chains behind them to keep open the channel ways.Could do with a bit of that now especially over St.Germans way which as you know can be extremely shallow.

Hi everyone and thanks for watching the video. if you have any suggestions for things you would like to see or ways I can improve them then drop me a comment below

This is a great video with it's great commentary and inclusions of wildlife and surroundings as well as the sailing scenes. Well done. I live in Australia and sail a little Farr 6000 Trailer Sailer and do much similar things as you, but selfishly enjoy it too much to take the time to record my travels as you thankfully do. My only complaint is your sound is a bit weak and I had to turm my sound right up to hear you well. Thanks again.

Yes my son has a Go-Pro and although, like yours, it gives good clear video I detest the "fish-eye" lenses with all things above the centre-line that should be straight, curved downward and conversely below the centre-line curved upward at the ends giving bent masts, bent booms, and curved tops and bottoms. That's the one reason I don't have one. I do own a nice little vid-cam but it's only a cheapie and I've not bothered to mount it. I sail a lot in the open ocean often with spray flying about, so it would not last long on my boat not being water-proof. Once again thanks for your efforts. I do enjoy them, as I'm sure lots of others.

Peter Barnes ah now depending on what version he has, that is easy to get rid of. There are KZread videos which will show him how but basically set the field of view to linear if he can. Film in 1080p or 4K at 30or 60 FPS. If he isn’t doing action stuff that requires GoPro then use a normal digital camera that can film same 1080p or 4K using tripod............GoPros are excellent but not for distant shots and their sound quality is useless.

"Sessile oak woodlands" Sessile : (of an organism, e.g. a barnacle) fixed in one place; immobile. (to save anyone else having to look it up)

Quercus petraea, commonly known as the sessile oak, Cornish oak, or durmast oak, is a species of oak tree native to most of Europe and into Anatolia and Iran. The sessile oak is the national tree of the Republic of Ireland, and an unofficial emblem in Wales and Cornwall. Depends where you look things up 😁

@johnstarkie9948

Almost. In the botanical and zoological sense ‘sessile’ means ‘without a stalk’. The leaves and acorns of the sessile oak have no stalk. A sessile barnacle is one without a stalk. The opposite of ‘sessile’ is ‘pedunculated’. By necessity, all oak trees are ‘fixed in one place’, ‘immobile’! Whether sessile or pedunculated!

What a lovely video. You made quite a progress with the editing. Still, try not to speak directly in the mic when you record the voiceover. Anyway, I got a very warm and calm feeling watching this, thank you very much.

Thank you. It is a small sized trangia stove. Fuelled by meths. The stoves are widely available at UK camping shops. Mine is nearly forty years old now and still going strong after years of expedition and travel use across UK and the world. People have mixed views about trangias onboard small boats...spillage risk.....you do have to have them stabilised and ideally in a galley box. Absorbent fire retardment material below them helps too. I buy equipment which will cover.my mountain camping, cycling, sailing and travelling activities....everything has to cross all four before I will consider buying it. I love trangias......huge fan but I also know there are better stoves out there now.....but it's sentimentality.....and also I've slowed down on the mountain and expedition work....so no need to upgrade anything. Thanks for dropping by. Hope you enjoy the other videos. Will get out as soon as lock down restrictions permit. Stay safe and well 😀

Ended up with my own wooden Golden Hind 31, complete with paraffin lamps and solid fuel pot belly stove! Things are safe as long as you mitigate the risk and prepare for mishaps, I find. Ive seen a few of your vids. Nice drone work too. I’m a big Welsford fan. Beautiful boats. I currently have a Bergqvist-designed Winkle Brig 16. Fingers crossed fir some sailing this year.

plymouthwelshboy lol! It’s the “without a mishap” that’s the gotcha. They do “follow me” drones, don’t they? Dies yours not do that, or is it impractical in a boat? I’d thought of getting a cheap one... heave-to, launch drone, sail around with drone following, then heave-to to retrieve... what could _possibly_ go wrong????
