  Beautiful cruise. Thank you for your generosity in sharing it with us. That last bit reminded me of the moronic Scout leader a few years ago who actually did that on an historic natural rock bridge and destroyed it.

  Awesome! What a beautiful area, I would love to visit Priest Lake, we have some family in Hayden. Thanks for the rad video and commentary! I grew up sailing a Kent Ranger 20', "ICHI BAN" hull #1 designed and built by my grandpa Ken Wheeler and Ray Richards in the 70's here in Washington, we still sail her today! Happy sailing!

  Excellent video! I am a new WWP15 owner (1997) - and I noticed that your WWP15 has a rudder push/pull rod installed. I am very interested any details of the push/pull rod you would be willing to share - specifically its overall length, materials used and how the push/pull rod and rudder are connected. Thanks again for sharing your sailing adventures.

• 
  @ruddyducksailing2 күн бұрын

  Yeah the rod was installed by a previous owner but it’s a 1”x34” oak rod with 3”x1.5” stainless L brackets where it attaches to the rudder. It’s contained at the top of the rudder stock by a piece of 1” conduit. Overall it works ok and is a cool idea but the forces needed to move it up and down are considerable. It probably needs more leverage at the attachment of the rudder. Thanks for watching the videos!!

  Hello from Cornwall, UK! It looks so beautiful there and that camp spot was idyllic. I’m new to sailing with a 21ft Corribee. I have a 2 year old boy and I’m looking forward to exploring the coast and coves with him when he grows up. Gotta say, I’m envious that you don’t have massive tidal ranges and mud to deal with on those beautiful lakes 😂

• 
  @ruddyducksailing5 күн бұрын

  Hello. It’s definitely a special place! The Coribee looks like a great boat and possibly one you could dry out on a tidal flat? I hope to gain some coastal experience soon on our west coast near Seattle where there’s strong currents and tides. Gonna be interesting. And sailing with family is the best so I’m excited for you to have those experiences in the future!!

• 
  @MegaSeany14 күн бұрын

  @@ruddyducksailing thanks for the reply! Yeah it’s a solid little cruiser and for a newbie it’s very forgiving. Built not far from where I live actually, back in the 80s I think. It’s a bilge/split keel which is very common in the UK - intended for drying out. It’s moored on a creek and sits in the mud each time the tide ebbs. Good to know if I miscalculate an adventure upstream! Thanks mate, it’s all about shared experiences right. Cheers for the great vids, I’ll keep watching. Enjoy your Seattle sailing!

•

  Awesome! I would recommend just about any boat that gets you out on the water really. I prefer small swing keel boats that can be beached but the Montgomery 15s are also really popular. I’ve been eyeballing that Newport 17 “Miss Tippy” also for awhile and it would be a great boat as long as it was in decent condition. Thanks for watching!!

  I love your videos. I'm a professional cinematographer and an ASPIRING small sailboat wannabe. I have friends that sail the world but what you do is more appealing to me. I'm was raised just outside of Yosemite and still live here. I've got friends that sail the world but I don't think I'd ever fall in love with that. The way you sail small waters and share it with us is awesome. And the way you're raising your kids is what this country needs more. PM me if you want to, I'd love to BS more about camera stuff or small sailboat stuff. Well done.
