  • I've a new Barky! A Contest 25, my first proper fin keel yacht that's not a trailer sailer. This inaugural sail is just a solo day sail accross the Solent on a perfect day for it at the start of a new sailing season. In this video you'll see the Royal yacht club which is a lovely place to visit and an easy day trip over from Portsmouth harbour. What do you think? Leave a comment..

    Ooh, some very shiny bits! Needs a crows nest with those steps. 😁

    I’m very jealous at many levels. Congratulations and Bon voyage 😊

    Back to the Barky ! I love to get my notification that you’ve uploaded, and once again you didn’t disappoint 👌
    Had to smile when you cut to being up the mast steps, as when you mentioned them earlier on I immediately thought to myself “Now I’d be up there at the first opportunity once under sail” 😂👌
    Great new vessel and fab viewing, Thanks shippers, much Appreciated.

      Wow what a great comment glad to hear that. Wish I could make more but life gets in the way ay. APressure is on now to keep it interesting I didn't think this one was particularly as it wasn't very adventurous but at least you liked it mate! Thanks for watching..

      You are so right I totally agree and hang my head in shame 😞 I did take some off but some I just flipped over the rail and probably missed some. Was more concerned with other things as first time I'd sailed her. Will do better next time! Thanks for watching.

    She's a proper ship! In fact, having read the article about her, she's probably packing more kit than the traffic you encountered

      I know no excuses now not to go anywhere 😂

    Very nice, do miss seeing the mirror

      Did you see the Mirror trophy in the Royal Victoria yacht club 😀? I'll try and get back to that little barky again soon... Spare time is the issue especially now I've bought a yacht with all their incumbent issues! A lot to be said for simple sailing. Thanks for watching.

    Nice boat!

    Oh mate, you've totally done the right thing. You were incurable - so all you needed to do was to jump into the warm depths of the inevitable. Great decision! Looking forward to seeing your adventures unfold. A great looking boat - she'll take you anywhere, and you'll take some time getting to know her idiosyncrasies. You even have a steering vane - fantastic. You definitely have all that it takes to master your new vessel.

      Incurable and inevitable so true 😂 glad for the approval mate!

    Can you give some sailing vlogs, how to sail

      Dunno if that's my style mate that said I do give some tips on various lash ups of rigging etc in some of my videos, and I did do one video on mast raising. I'll bear it in mind though. It's so time consuming this youtube malarkey that's the biggest issue! Thanks for watching.
