The best half-hour wasted this week. Wonderful filming, lots to laugh at, and a real sense of a quiet sleep and a sweet dream when the long trip's over. So rare.
Love to see the Cliffs of Dover, spent many happy hours near Seaford camping with my parents. Dad and I were rescued by the coast guard helicopter in 1956 when we were trapped by an incoming tide!
Really enjoyed this one! Especially the crew evaluation at the end. All your work is outstanding and very much enjoyable! Many years from now people will still be buying sailboats because of you.
wow brilliant, I've just bought a Jaguar 21 it's on Rutland water only sailed dinghys and that was many years ago, you've now given me a goal of getting myself to a standered where I can sail solo on the ocean doing something like you've been doing, thanks for the insperation.
Brilliant clip here gents.... Fantastic, you made me feel like the North Sea is a sailable and not something I need to dread (too much) when I sail from Sweden somewhere warm, via home.... Cheers boys, I had a laugh.. Warren s/y Legend
Enjoyed this video. Centaur appears to sail really well into wind despite having Bilge keels. Off the wind guess it flys along. Looks like a keel stepped mast with standing headroom in cabin. A good little starter boat for sea sailing.
Thank you for producing this video. This is one of my favourites, reminds me of sailing in big wind this summer on Lake Ontario. We only have five more months to go until launch. I'm already going out of my mind and it's only mid-December.
Greetings from Ireland and the crew of Wavedancer. Just subscribed to support fellow westerly yacht channel. Great to show what our classic beauties can do
Well done to the crew of ktl great video we are planning a UK circumnavigation in 2016 after seeing your route East non stop ish,,,, for 500nm I think I will follow in your wake with a crew then me and my better wiser and prettier half can sail in short hops leaving Disarray in Scotland to winter 16. Then slow hops home to the Solent in 2017. Your film has shown me what's possible cheers. Mike
very good mike - pleased to have fired you up - and every time your missus complains about the space/cold/da,pness you can point her to my own hard as nails swmbo
Nice one, Dylan. Looks like it was uneventful... which is what you want. Stick a link in the description to your crew's YT channel with the Westerly restoration, I can't remember where you linked it before. Thanks.
I have a tiger in marquette mi. dont have enough time to circumnavigate lake superior yet but I plan to now that I have the boat to do it in. mean time lots of week end trips. need to startvideoing them. I do about 600 miles a season in it. thats a lot of beer
another classic, enjoy your stuff so much. Googled the sources of the background music Martyn and company but came up with nothing. Any clues. Congrats again.
captainandthelady I would like to do the atlantic solobut not in any sort of race or cruise incompany - well found small yacht - it would be interesting
Michael Caton I shuffle back and forwards all the time - I crossed the Wash seven times. So the concept of a circumnavigation starts to lose its meaning - that is a good thing I think. This summer I am taking Katie L through the narrow cansl to Glasgow and then back up the west coast to the minches. I also plan to spend a year in the North sea and then go around the outside of Ireland. It would be rude to go to the channel isles and not go to see our Breton Bretherin.D
LEB 3 I think it looks horrible but it is really useful - great to lean against, good for boarding, great for putting electronic gubbins on, good for cockpit canopy - I doubt that it has any impact on stability
Great video thanks for your efforts. I like the Centaur quite a handy boat very similar to my own boat (Nova 28 Wooden construction circa 1980 called "Summer Breeze"). I sail mine around the Hauraki Gulf in New Zealand which looks like similar conditions if a little warmer and blue. I recommend the ability to reef the main from the cockpit very convenient and safer particularly as I sail solo handed quite allot. However I do just sail on the big furling headsail quite a bit which gives amazing control when reach isn't too tight. Yeah the camera never does the waves justice does it? th-cam.com/video/0b_h7ViNeJQ/w-d-xo.html

Lovely doubly old trip!
Absolutely addicted to these Dylan! congratulations on your trip!

The Humber is a lovely river system

Thanks Dylan! One of your best videos! I really enjoyed that. They were fun guys too. That was a few days of really living well.

Great video. Conversation at the end was my favorite part. Congrats on the trip, and becoming good friends.

Great film! Probably the best. Sad you had to sell her after you had done so much work on her.
Great Video Thanks Dylan
Great videos 👍
great! just great! thanks
Loved it.
Excellent stuff Dylan. Keep up the good work!
***** Last one for a while - the spring has come - time to roll around in the gravel under a boat
Ah yes! Such fun!

As anon sailor enjoyed it again.ready for more enjoyment and another donation
ok! now i see the diff. betw. the genoa and the lil red spinaker, thanks D.
+bill bye i will get a boat and a "lil red sail" and sail those waters my friend! ;-)
i liked the Jeckells Sail !
Nice one, Dylan. Looks like it was uneventful... which is what you want. Stick a link in the description to your crew's YT channel with the Westerly restoration, I can't remember where you linked it before.

What a wonderful video .
What’s happens to all your vids?? I like to watch them when I come home from work lol.
Thanks Dylan. Very much enjoyed the last half hour. Good guys to crew with. Best wishes for the summer. What dates did you actually do the trip?
Bet its beautiful to sail at night?! :O) Peaceful for sure!!! :O)
another classic, enjoy your stuff so much. Googled the sources of the background music Martyn and company but came up with nothing. Any clues. Congrats again.

Thanks again. Some how Celtic modern and sailing is like salt and water...a nice mix when done right...:)
Is it possible and safe to sail one of these off shore, from the UK to the med?
Any new videos to come bud
I think you might be ready for the "Jester Challenge" (;>
captainandthelady I would like to do the atlantic solobut not in any sort of race or cruise incompany - well found small yacht - it would be interesting
By the time you have completed can you claim that you will have done a 1&1/4 circumnavigation of the British Isles? Or is it further?

KeepTurningLeft You have at least one Breton fan on the North coast!
Have you formed any opinions about the arch? Any significant effect on righting or balance?
LEB 3 I think it looks horrible but it is really useful - great to lean
against, good for boarding, great for putting electronic gubbins on,
good for cockpit canopy - I doubt that it has any impact on stability
nice to sea water all around, is the radar reflector to low or should it be higher? thanks
dunno - we did not get run down - same height as one on a mobo

John Edwards Single line reefing is next on the list for Harmony. The Centaur is a fine boat - a good travelling machine
where's-safest-place-for-swinging-moorings?
all swinging moorings are safe
Did i get it right this boat is 18 feet long? , seems longer then that. thanks.
+Terry Holden different boat - actually two different boat since the Honda shots
+Terry Holden 26' I think. I'm pretty sure all the Centaurs are 26 footers. Course, could be a TARDIS yacht! :-)
I like to hear that you still have an "inner racer".... A poorly trimmed sail is an abomination.
Michael Caton I have kept the red sail for the next Centaur
can-you-get-me-a-decent-centaur-for-cpl-grand?
only one with a rotten engine at that price
thanks
