@SailingKateLouise

Жыл бұрын

Hi Bill, yes there are a few boats with the Gunter rig, I will do a more specific video later. But I think in general the Gunter allows for a higher aspect rig with a shorter mast, compared to the lugsail but is a bit more complicated to hoist. The Gunter would also point better as it's similar to a Marconi rig. I've never had a Gunter rigged boat but I will check with the guys. Thanks for watching, cheers Paul

I recently found and subscribed to your channel Paul. I love your video work and storytelling. Great editing, music, scene changes and interviews. All around excellent work! I grew up sailing and boatbuilding on the West coast of USA, and then in Costa Rica, but have lived in landlocked state of Colorado in the Rocky Mtns of US for almost 30 years. There's a few small lakes so sailing is pretty limited. Watching your videos allows me to mentally be out on the water again and fantasize about being under sail. I love it!! AWESOME RAID! Oh, almost forgot to comment and congratulate you on your vegetarianism! We've been veg for over 15 yrs and think it's the ONLY way to go. Good on ya mate!

Hi Francis, well when it started there were mainly small dinghies like Heron's etc. but pretty soon people realised that having a small cabin offers a lot of advantages so people stated buying larger boats with boom tents or cabins.
