I bookmarked this video. It does encapsulate the essence of "dinghy cruising". I have viewed others of your filming accomplishments and I thank you for your efforts. Being a "camera bug" for many years I was the "trip photographer" and sometimes felt that I would have to wait until the films were developed ( it was a while ago) to see where I had been and what I had done since most of my days were either planning "photo shoots" or actually doing them. I , optimistically, think I am almost done completing a Saturday Night Special, a "dinghy designed" by John Welford, a New Zealander. I was "blessed" with this project when a dear friend gave me the partially completed boat as a gesture of good will after I had helped him convert a chicken coop into a commercial embroidery shop for his wife. Your efforts shown here serve to keep me enthused with my boat construction. Having back-packed all over the United States decades ago I now plan to see my country from the rail of a small boat. Fortunately there are quite a few other "old men" sailing about in tiny boats so the companionship is just an oar dip or mainsheet haul away.
Hi Thomas, is the Welsford boat a Navigator, Pathfinder? we have a few in a our group nice boats. Send me a photo to sailingkatelouise@gmail.com and I'll put it in a video. I've been sent many boats from the states. I hope you get on the water soon, thanks for watching, cheers Paul
28:45 "I think the rain is easing..." and right into the perfect music to accompany the beautiful photography! I thought you were just a gentleman with a little sailboat but no, you are a legendary film producer, mood setter and epic sailor! Thanks for taking me along!! ........................................

Thanks Mark, I agree....the gentle rippling of water, very peaceful. Wayfarers are obviously very popular for dinghy cruising in the U.K. but I haven't seen one here. Thanks for watching, cheers Paul
I'll add my kudos for another wonderful video. The videography could hardly be better. I couldn't look away long enough to multi-task on my phone while watching. Keep up the great work!
With your new video was awaiting me this morning, it is a great morning coffee with you and your skipper friends. As always, lovely camra work; sailing scenes, waters edge reflections, etc. -- Lovely! thanks Paul!! -R
The calm conditions compensated by providing the material for some exquisite photography. It was great to see some of my compatriots from up north with their boats, all looking wonderful on film.
Love 💕 to see the boats slowly gently crossing path or pacing along side one another . Enjoyed your gentle add ins of close up of trees,water n so on. Fair winds mate. Papa J
Great Video! Do you worry about Venomous Snakes where you camp or getting in your boat? Around here we have lots of Water Moccasins and Copperheads. The Moccasins are very aggressive and will stand their ground. Not a snake to mess around with.
Thanks mate, no even though we have quite a few venomous snakes I've only seen 1 red belly blacksnake while camping, if you make enough noise they slither away. However Eastern Brown snakes are very aggressive always give a wide berth. Thanks for watching, cheers Paul
Loved the video and your skill in compiling it as always Paul. Now as you’ve looked into the camera and mentioned my name, l have to say Smashed Sensations Green Pea and Broccoli has probably trumped deb potato with onion, but I’m glad you flirted with deb potato a couple of times. See you soon. Cheers Marshall
You weren't completely alone. There was more than one houseboat on the lakes. A bunch of students paddled through your fleet and camped next to you at Johnsons before heading up into the Mayall lake.
Oh those shots at 7:04 and 11:44!!! I can’t tell you how much I relax when I watch these stories, you are an inspiration. Wonderful to watch as the rain pours down in Hobart!
Thanks Holly and boys. 7.04 was a Cygnet 20 and 11.44 was a Welsford Navigator. We didn't have much wind but the sun did shine. Looking forward to more Piccolo videos, cheers Paul
Merci mon ami, notre petit bateau naviguant n'est pas aussi grand qu'en France ou au Royaume-Uni mais nous espérons grandir. Merci d'avoir regardé, bravo Paul
Hi Terry, yep we had a great time even though the wind was pretty light. I originally was looking for a gaff rigged Hartley and they are rare, so I was also pleased to see one. Thanks for watching again, cheers Paul
Thanks mate, There is a new Stornaway 18 on the table...20 ft instead of 18, retractable electric outboard pod, modified skeg keel and more ballast, slightly higher freeboard and self draining cockpit. Derek the designer says it will have a huge performance increase as this current design is nearly 30 years old, can't wait to see one, cheers Paul
Can't add much to the other comments Paul other than to say thank you again for another beautiful time on the water I know that every where in the world has interesting topography but your is done of the most interesting I've seen and yes Kate Louise is still the prettiest of all your mates boats not to take away anything from them
That was a good effort. Nicely made. And with the others, it made it even better. It must be hard when people just want to relax and the camera is rolling knowingly.
No one including myself likes a camera in their face, but to be honest sailors like to share their passion and often the boats they have spent years building. We hope to get more joining this group of friendly wonderful people, thanks for watching, cheers Paul
Mate as you know, tapping,rattling and banging shrouds etc can be very annoying, but I didn't think I'd have to tie down a tin of tuna!!! thanks for watching , cheers Paul
Greetings from Lake Champlain Vermont USA. Our sailing season is just about to start. My Rhodes 19 is all prepped and ready to go. A big thank you for sustaining me through our long winter. Your video quality and editing are superb. Small boats on a beautiful lake are a great way to go. No drama here (well, fore the most part). Anyways, always looking forward to your next video.
Thanks Peter, as you know sailing is good for the soul. I remember my favourite film as a kid was White Christmas with Bing Crosby and that was set in Vermont... a beautiful part of the states....one day I'll get there, cheers Paul
Hi Paul from Michigan. Great video! Beautiful boats, scenery, wonderful weather…. And good friends. I sail my Com-Pac Eclipse on Lake Michigan and Lake Erie. Hopefully getting it back in the marina this week. Take care and enjoy. Tom

Some beautiful boats on this trip; they are all lovely, but my heart belongs to Kate Louise...Looking forward to the next one. All the best.
beautiful video. Made me smile when i saw the ts16'S. I own and sail a TS16.myself. Gotta love Aldi for their nesting pots and kettle. Worth their weight in gold.
Hi John, the blue Hartley was built by Ollie in a month!! mind you he's built 3 other boats so he knew what he was doing. The other Hartley was gaff rigged and the only one I've seen. Aldi has not only good wine but chocolate as well!!, cheers Paul
Greetings, Paul, from Clear Lake, California. Thank you for the great videography. We suffer from very light breezes all summer, so I am thinking of adding a mizzen to my 16ft daysailer. You and Kate Louise have inspired me to improve my sailing possibilities. Thanks for all you do for those of us who so enjoy your videos.
Another great video. The wind may have been light but it made for some beautiful boating photography Paul. Thanks for making this, cheered me right up!

I seriously thought about buying a Cygnet 20 - very nice boat - but have bought a Sunmaid 20. These are also a very nice boat, and for 50 grand less, I can live with the cruder cabin interior finish. I sail in South Australia. do you have a TY channel?
Thanks Paul that was fantastic. Subscribed and looking forward for more of the same. Cheers mate I have a Jarcat 5 MK11. Doing a refurb. on it at the moment and this has inspired me to push on. Wish this consistent rain on the north coast NSW would go away 👍
Great raid! Wonderful selection of dinghies...as I decide which one to build next it would help me decide...which ones are faster? The ongoing review of various instant mashed potato products is becoming quite a thing, you might consider a spin-off channel...all spuds all the time.
Thanks mate very funny, I still haven't received anything from continental! The Hartley's are very fast but I like the lines of the Navigator and the Ross Lillistone Periwinkle is also very fast but I think too narrow if you wanted to sleep aboard. Thanks for watching, cheers Paul
