Newtown Creek is a very unspoilt place. I have dinghy- cruised there in a Wayfarer. We sailed from Hayling Island S.C. Tied up to a jetty at Korf camp, a Scout and Guide campsite, which had hot showers and cost a couple of quid in an honesty box. We put up a tent on shore, and walked to the very good pub for supper. Attempting a short-cut along the shore, it got too muddy so we turned back, and we were enraptured by a treeful of nightingales trying to out-sing each other. Incredible! Later, weaving back through the woods, there were tiny green glowing lights on the ground. Glow-worms! I picked one up and it sat on my hand glowing brightly. I have also seen an Osprey there, and an inquisitive common seal in Clamerkin lake. The RS boat looks great, and is fast too. Nick.
Dear Roger, I have been following you for 2 months. I watched many of your videos. It was so beautiful that I decided to make a dinghy. Greetings from Turkey Amasra...
What a beast, downwind! 😃👍 And the tent looks interesting too! But every zipper starts to make trouble one time! So there is no sunshine without a little shadow as well..! 🤷♂ Thanks for sharing!
As always Roger I enjoy your videos. I can appreciate the production fiberglass boat - will most likely outsail our wooden boats. That said, when I am sailing my homemade wooden sailboats with my wooden mast and holding my wooden tiller I am smiling a bit more!
Great little sail! Thanks. Interesting idea to put the kicker where it is on this vessel as doing so frees up such a lot of space. IOW late season is superb.
Roger - the speed of reaching in the Venture! Did you get a nose bleed? (I would have!) Nice Plan "B" thanks for letting us see the tent setup - I like the side zips. I sent the link to a racing friend who's afraid of wood - more of a modern dinghy guy. Looking forward to you Scamp trip report - R
Roger, I absolutely love your videos. I have watched every one, and you've had a blessed few. With every blessing comes a curse, however: I've gotten sick of the walk with me song. I mute it every time, nowadays. I'm sorry about that, but hey, I'm glad you still make great videos!
You have had a nice time over there, and he seems a good guy. I'm making a cloth tent for Novalis to replace the plastic one, and that should breathe a lot better. The design is a lot simpler than yours, open at the fore but covering the companionway. Looking forward to next year's season. The Semaine du Golfe is revealing its plans...
Thanks Roger and thanks to my wonderful wife for lending me her work monitor for watching this video. Glorious to watch on something other than my phone.
The Phil Morrison designed Comet Trio is a cruise/racer. With 20+ at Exe sailing club, used in the estuary and at sea for club racing and sailed from Exmouth to Brixham. Thanks for your videos always great to watch
This is very intriguing. I love my RS Quest but its not something I think I could cruise with, the venture certainly looks more like it. The quest is in the snow this morning in Washington state, need to get the mast off the trailer and derig the dinghy this weekend until march :) Great video !
Thanks for sharing this video and the incredible possibilities the RS Venture provides to their owners. One of the funniest tips of the video the 10.25 fart ;) . Regards from North Spain!
@@RogerRoving thanks you Roger, I’m a dinghy enthusiast and enjoy a lot your videos providing ideas and blowing barriers regarding small boats, there’s no limits!
Nice one, that venture seemed fast! Btw Nutella do some very nice little chocolate/shortbread biscuits which go very well with coffee*… anyhoo….looking forward to the Scamp test, once it’s knocked into shape 👍🏾😀⛵️(*other chocolate biscuits are available 😉)
Brilliant. Good to see you having a trip on this side of the channel. I do like Lymington and keyhaven, occasionally I make the trip from here in Poole.
That experience must of been like driving a newer BMW, after driving the old reliable SAAB for years. I saw you hiking out, with a grin on your face! Cheers!
What kind of dinghy are you looking for. I have a Wayfarer Mark II GRP that, until last summer had been garaged for over 30 years. The last time it was used was in 1991. It and the trailer are in very good shape.
When using the trekking cooker, always make sure to have an alloy insulation between its feet and the boards. The heat is reflected from the pots down to the bottom might cause a fire on the boat.
A guy I know for a long time has a scamp he built himself. Keeps it in a floating marina berth since he sold the trailer for it and doesn’t seem to use it much. He used to live on it for a while. Every time I ask him to let’s take it out because it’s a nice day, he’s like, nah too much work. He has now got some 25 foot mini keelboat with cabin and seems to prefer it.
Hi Roger! For your information there has been an Ilur for sale listed for $15000 on the US Ebay in California. A relatively recent build and looks quite nice.
You always make the best videos!! I have two Nigel Dennis sea kayaks but you sure make me want a dingy!!! How are these on inland lakes? Thanks!! I am going to purchase your book, it looks great!
@RS: I wish to see more ventures with the venture. There still is no community and the videos on YT are few or extremely short. Always orientate myself on the big wayfarer community.
Hi Roger. I'm sure you've been asked this lots of times previously, but would you please kindly tell me what is the lovely folk music that features in this and many other of your videos ? Andrew
Was looking forward to your hands-on review of the Scamp. In part, your enthusiasm for the Scamp during your interview of Welsford tipped the scales for me. I am awaiting the Scamp plans as I write this.
The Isle of White Man? We Dutch got a Gray Monk Island. For real! Schiermonnikoog. Schier is gray, Monnik is monk of course, and Oog means eye, for eyeland.
@@RogerRoving I build one (have a look on my channel "martins dock" here on youtube). I like the Scamp as a familys daysailor because you sit more in it rather than on top of it what makes my beloved wife feeling more comfortable. Sadly at less than 2 Bft sailing sucks. Scamp is no speedboat, but performance was not the design goal here, i guess. On the other hand: as long as you dont capsize (which i once did sailing at 5 Bft without reef by accident- the hard way to learn...) you'll always stay dry because of the little cabin- like something. Today i'd prefer to have a boomless lug- rig. Cheers, Martin
Has anyone put this boat head to head with a Wayfarer? After looking at the price I cannot help thinking that putting an old Wayfarer in the hands of a professional for a couple of weeks would achieve a similar result at half the cost.
I have sailed both. The RS venture is a much more modern design and it shows in lots of little details that just work better, but second hand Wayfarers are a lot cheaper which is why I sail one!
Shame about the Scamp, but a good consolation prize! Jake needs to make himself a custom kitchen box to fit one of his lockers 😉👍

Another lovely film - evidence you can cruise in anything that sails even in November ! Inspiring - thank you Roger & Jake,

Close to home! (For me). Great to see all the different places you have sailed, from NZ to Venice. Inspirational! Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you Rodger, your videos keep me wanting to buy my next boat. I truly appreciate your love of sailing.
Another superb video..👍just love that song......your theme tune..
Newtown is the best anchorage on the Isle of Wight!
All the best Richard
Excellent sailing videos. Love the different boats you show.
What a beast, downwind! 😃👍
And the tent looks interesting too!
But every zipper starts to make trouble one time!

Thanks 👍
Good times!
Thanks for taking us along!
Never Never Lake, Alaska
Lovely, can't wait to take up cruising
Super, Roger - thank you.
Roger!,,,vivis en el paraíso del navegante!…Feleicitaciones!gracias por los buenísimos videos que nos regalaste este año!
That R/S is rapid..and the foresail furls like lightning, wish my yacht did that.
Thanks for another great film.
Stunning photography

A great video and a very capable craft.
Many a night moored where you were. Very high on my list of favourite places.

One of my favourite spots in the Solent
wonderful as always - i would love to see the scamp on the water if possible as i am fascinated by them - cheers
Looked like you were having fun 😊
great video as usual roger. that looks like a great boat. not an ilur or a Dabber, but good. and efficient.
It wouldn't suit everyone, but there are many ways to go dinghy cruising.
Newtown Creek lovely place but packed in Summer
Nice! Watched Sailing Uma doing the Med this morning and now this. The latter seems more Sweden-like! 😅
On a 51’ Swan in Palm Beach Florida - been loving your videos this week’ hunting for a dinghy
What kind of dinghy are you looking for. I have a Wayfarer Mark II GRP that, until last summer had been garaged for over 30 years. The last time it was used was in 1991.
It and the trailer are in very good shape.
When using the trekking cooker, always make sure to have an alloy insulation between its feet and the boards. The heat is reflected from the pots down to the bottom might cause a fire on the boat.
We used wood, which is an insultant. Alloy would transmit heat. But thank you for your concern.
Nice to see and hear the sounds of the Brant Geese. Very related to the Barnacle Goos. Which may perhaps relate to your name :)
Could be!
A guy I know for a long time has a scamp he built himself. Keeps it in a floating marina berth since he sold the trailer for it and doesn’t seem to use it much. He used to live on it for a while. Every time I ask him to let’s take it out because it’s a nice day, he’s like, nah too much work. He has now got some 25 foot mini keelboat with cabin and seems to prefer it.
This one was a lot of work simply because it was so badly set up. I should think they’re pretty simple if the rig is properly arranged.
Hi Roger! For your information there has been an Ilur for sale listed for $15000 on the US Ebay in California. A relatively recent build and looks quite nice.
That's a good price. Ilurs are not cheap to build.
Thanks
Interesting video Roger, I think your dingy is more stable. 😉
You always make the best videos!! I have two Nigel Dennis sea kayaks but you sure make me want a dingy!!! How are these on inland lakes? Thanks!! I am going to purchase your book, it looks great!
Dinghies are great on lakes as long as you can find somewhere to launch them.
@RS: I wish to see more ventures with the venture. There still is no community and the videos on YT are few or extremely short. Always orientate myself on the big wayfarer community.
Thanks Roger, did you both sleep aboard? not a lot of room with all the gear.
No. That’s the plan for next time. Jake is still setting up his boat for sleeping aboard.
Feels slightly strange to see you back sailing in the uk! Are you considering purchasing a Scamp?
Well that was am interesting adventure, but I think Avel Dro is a much nicer dinghy!
Hi Roger. I'm sure you've been asked this lots of times previously, but would you please kindly tell me what is the lovely folk music that features in this and many other of your videos ?
Andrew
Details in the video description. It’s Melanie Bell.
@@RogerRoving Thanks Roger. She has a lovely voice !
Is the tent a product manufactured for the Venture by RS? Or Custom design for the owner?
At present a custom design. But there is talk of making it a standard product in the future.
It looked very neat. I liked the double-zip openings in the side.
Can’t beat Newtown Creek for a relaxing anchorage.
Vegemite and anchovette spread are the best breakfast choices..nuttela will not be entertained lol
It looks like a nice boat for dinghy cruising, but $23K?
Please don’t forget the Scamp video!
It isn't my boat, so it will have to wait until next year now, I'm afraid. Another interesting boat test is coming soon though.

Isle of Wight, not “White”. It roughly means the island of cliffs (which are on the other side).
Looking forward to the scamp dinghy, I have been looking forward to seeing that style of boat in action.
OK, who farted at 10.24? Roger, was that a guilty glance at the camera?😁
Not a fart. But your imagination does you credit!
@@RogerRoving Just squeaky boots eh! 😇
So sad, i'm so curious 'bout Rogers opinion on the scamp.
So am I!

Why does a dinghy have a furling headsail ? and not a hanked on headsail with 2 reefing points? Hanks are so much better in a blow
It’s a roller reefing headsail, as is standard now on modern yachts of all sizes.
The system RS uses makes single handing one of their dinghies very easy, especially for the older/slower of us :)
Pas aussi vivant qu un bateau en bois mais vous etes sur l eau🤗
Screw the Nutella, bring on the bacon!
Loved the skillet bacon. Should have taken advantage of the grease to toast the muffins. Maybe fuel conservation was a concern.

Like a scene from Blazing Saddles!
Mr Roger your old dinghy more better dhis one
вы похожи на санту нужна борода и колпак
I would take your boat over that one even if its 2 times faster
The aim of these videos is to show that you can go dinghy cruising in many different types of boat.
segeln mit offenen booten ist schon was anderes als iner warmen kajüte sitzen...
I'm not surprised it's predominantly men involved in this sport. No loo 🫠
