Tuesday, 9 July 2019

At our mooring in a mill pond everyone slept till 9 am. Its raining. Hilarious went thought some initial sea trials with great success last night, rows like a dream covering miles with little effort, up wind sailing no good, booms required. being aboard chortle feels home from home already.

How to have the most fun ever

Going off in a few days on our annual sailing cruise round the west coast of scotland, and, it has been suggested that our little rowing sailing tender giggle is a little under powered and under sized for our growing family to get ashore safely while at anchor in less favorable situations. The challenge, or brief, acquire new tender with out the use of an outboard, (dont like them), with sliding seat rowing and sails, that can be shipped on deck if marina or canel visit is required, oh, and not spend a great deal of money. Having started designing something from scratch, the family river canoe presented itself as a suitable hull for what i had in mind, the rest, a little inspiration from angusrowboats and well i just used my imagination! But can we get it finished before we had planned to go away.
