- Enjoy a selection of sailing footage taken over two days and three different sails in my recently refurbished Mk2 GP14. Do watch the restoration video if you haven't already!
• Mk2 GP14 Dinghy Refurb...
We sailed from Cobnor slipway in Chichester Harbour with various wind speeds ranging from F2 to gusting low F5 over the weekend, which was great to see how she handled in different conditions.
As any sea trials should, the first sail brought a number of issues to my attention including the rudder downhaul jamming, the port side shroud pin coming loose, the desperate need for something to keep the mainsheet from hanging too far off the boom when tacking, the trailer bearings need replacing and ideally I need to find some method of getting more luff tension on the main.
All in all however, everyone that came sailing in her had a fantastic time and I couldn't be more pleased with how she's turned out after all the hard work restoring her.
Riveting stuff chaps! I found this an extremely exhilarating video. So glad I can find lovely wholesome content on the TH-cam 😃👍
Great videos, excellent restoration work. I’ve just bought our families first dinghy, a GP14 similar age to yours so I’ll definitely be following your techniques. Thanks for sharing 😊👍
Fantastic, they're great boats. Especially the Mk2 with the buoyancy in the floor, it is very stable so good for family sailing. Glad you liked the videos!
@@CorinNelsonSmith good single handed just main?
@@CorinNelsonSmith is it easy to use and keep reduced sails for solo
Very nicely shot and edited. Most enjoyable
beautiful
Corin, you first sail looked a hell of a lot dryer and smoother then ours. Awesome work!
Also boat looks so polished
That's in pretty order!
I really enjoyed your video - well done :‐) Sail safe !
I’m just starting out :) watching for tips :)
Good luck! I'm just starting out with a VW T4 as well, so joining all the forums and Facebook groups for tips on that :)
@@CorinNelsonSmith is the way of using minimal sail. For solo sailing. I'm looking for a sea capable dinghy. But just leisurely cruising. Too old to be hanging over side. Been looking at these and wayfarers
Nice
That has a strange mainsail, not seen one made out of that material before .
I really enjoyed this video. That’s a lovely boat and she sails beautifully. What is the music?
Ez a kalóz, Karl Martens (1935). Jó gép.
Main halyard needs tightening. Creases in luff slow you down!!! Capt John.
Yes! You don't have to horse it down, just smooth it out. signed old GP sailor
Music killed it😢😢😢
Sorry, gave up after a few seconds, the music is too overpowering. Whats wrong with the sound of the wind and water??
