What a great little boat, well done Matt

Looks like a sweet little dinghy and a lovely outing.

Great video, lovely boat, awesome location but if there is a Kraken I out 😂😂😂

You're living the dream there bro. Cheers from NZ! Subscribed!

I think the Sherpa looks a lot simpler and easier build than the Scamp, you've got yourself a winner there, thanks for sharing.

What a gem of a boat. You have her well set up too by the looks of it....

Fantastic Micro Cruiser, she's got everything you need, with a ton of volume. Tassie looks great for adventures

Great video, great little boat 👍.

Another great Video Matt, love the Sherpa, may build one after I finish my Pathfinder, hey but don't tell the wife, Ha ha.

Man your living the life! Eff materialism, the rat race, golddiggers, and conspicuous consumption! The waterway systems will never go away; if anything they'll increase! And all free, no traffic, no internal composition pollution, no control grid, you are free!

Thanks for sharing that with us. Enjoyed every minute.

Thanks for showing us the boat in such a great video. The weather is key isn’t it?!

A good video mate - nice boat and cruise, and a GREAT history lesson about the families on the Iron Pot..😮 Tough back then..😂

That looks like a great little boat to sail in that area. Thanks for the share!

Great video Mat, inspirational! "Sea Pup" looks terrific! Bravo!!

Love your work Matt! David from Triabunna!

great sailing and vid ,thanks !!

That's a beauty! Building a pathfinder in New Brunswick now, jealous of your coming summer!

Lovely wee boat; great wee film 👍

Well done Mat, a most enjoyable watch, thanks for taking us along..

Lovely video

The Lightkeepers house must have been something, shame they tore it down. Interesting bit of history, thanks for sharing.

Cracking video, thanks

Great video thanks. Reinforces that I could camp cruise my 10 footer. Cheers

thanks mate. just had a look at your channel....some great stuff there! well done...stay salty...Mat.

It took waaay to long to step the mast and setup in the morning. I suggest you check your procedure with Captain Monkey and all will be well. Cheers

Lovely boat. I am looking at a similar build. It would be very interesting to see a capsize drill. I don’t know what your experience is with capsize drill in similar boats but these ‘little’ guys can hold a lot of water.. A controlled capsize with people around to help would enable you to think about recovery. Can you pull the dagger board from outside of the boat to use as a step ? Do you have sufficient bailing bucket ? Are your lockers sufficiently secured ! Do you need extra rope or hand holds to aid righting/getting aboard. Also you seem to have a lot of loose gear - which I know if unavoidable in a small dinghy but maybe this would give you some ideas for secure stowage Please don’t take my comment as criticism, that not how it’s intended, just food for thought, also not many KZread videos about this so maybe it could be good for views. Enjoy your sailing 👍

Thanks mate. It seems so long ago that I made this video and was just a bit of fun. Sea Pup is sadly no longer part of our fleet, but we do have some capsize videos planned in some of our 'larger' dinghies. Stay tuned...

No bugs/sand fleas in Taz? Great video and super nice boat!

Thanks. Great question…yes, we have all the bugs, lice, mozzies…but we make sure we use bug juice and I have a mozzie net over the top of my sleeping bag. 👍🏾⚓️

Looks good, BUT, in the Caribbean the bugs -- noseeums, mosquitos, etc, would eat you alive before morning. But a cheap mosquito net would drape right over the top or hang down from the seats... either way.

My sleeping bag has a net over the top and prevents the bugs from eating me at night. Thanks for watching.

G’day mate, looks like a great little boat, however from the shot of the boat upturned, there seems to be no scope for hat dagger board to “give” if it grounds. Is the case designed to take shocks like that? I’m just thinking back to my childhood sabot days where an extended case allowed the dagger board to tilt backwards and absorb some impact energy 🤔

@SmallCraftTasmania-ms4sx

3 ай бұрын

If I hit something with the CB down the impact would throw me out of the dinghy before something gave way. The strength to weight ratio on John's designs are far more than a sabot.

Great little boat and enjoyable video! Have you done any sailing on Tassie's larger lakes?? Would love to try it sometime.

Thank you. Yes, we've spent a lot of time on Pedder. Our next video will feature some footage. Stay tuned...

Have you sailed Michael Storer's OZ Goose? How does it compare to the Sherpa? I'm guessing the Goose is faster but less forgiving and can't be rowed. Would you take it microcruising?

I've not sailed an OG, but would love to!

do you think the sherpa is big enough as a tender to carry 3 people? i'm looking at it as a downsize from the massive tinny i've currently been using, but if it's gonna work it has to be able to carry three people. any thoughts?

@SmallCraftTasmania-ms4sx

Yep. She’ll take 3 no problem. I’ve seen pix of 5 onboard! The Sherpa is a great load carrier. 👍🏾⚓️

Hello, I really like the Sherpa design and for years I have never been able to like inflatable tenders and could never fit them next to a classic sailboat. Recently, I have been seriously interested in making a composite (due to lightness) tender, Is it possible to use it as a motorized tender by making a change to the Sherpa design and Would it be a wise choice to undertake such a task?

@SmallCraftTasmania-ms4sx

Hi. Yes, if you mean use a small outboard. The transom is designed to take an outboard.

I have a Sherpa with a 2.5hp mercury. Either long arms or a tiller extension recommended. You definitely don't need more power. Yamaha 2 hp would be good choice too. Very easily driven hull. Goes a very long way on one litre of fuel.

I've never capsized her, however I can't imagine any different to other 9' dinghies, other than slightly higher freeboard.
