- We look at the French super dinghy, the Vivier Morbic 12 with her proud owners Michael and Sarah Curtis. Expensive? Take a look and discover this beauty. There's only two that we know of in the UK. and she could be the best 12ft dinghy you'll ever see.

Lovely to see a couple so obviously happy with each other.
Beautiful boat and a lovely couple. Thank you for sharing the time on the water.
tremendous to see you back at play ! Thanks for your ongoing generously.. & Michael and his love Sarah just the most delightful pair of human beings . My you two always have just the right kind of day !
Thank you so much for sharing really encouraging to someone looking to begin Dinghy sailing, Very relaxing film thank you!
Really nice couple and a lovely boat I hope to be at Cobnor this year look forward
to seeing you and the morbic there
Lovely sailing craft. Wonderful video. Thanks so much for sharing. God bless. (Old guy from Arkansas)🇺🇸
Lovely older couple who enjoy a sail.
lovely 3 of you ...;)
You folks are wonderful.....I just purchased plans for the Lilou 2 from Francois Vivier
I like the extra spacing on the seating planks, stylish! Nice video, boat and people too!
All of Vivier's boats are extraordinary pretty!
Beautiful. I loved.
Certainly beautiful! Nice boat too...
Thanks for sharing, Michael, Sarah, and Bob. :)
Stunning!
I love your boat!
Beautiful! thanks for sharing. Mine isn't so fancy, but I also love the small 12' size sailing - more fun than my 39 footer in fact.
This was a great interview and a awesome boat !!
Real sport. Hello from Kyiv.)
Beautiful boat and Couple!
Ah, now you've got me, personally, targeted! I've been looking at sail & oar boats in the 14 to 19 foot range over the last year, with Vivier, Oughtred, and Welsford designs being the obvious stars, and Ross Lillistone a lesser known, but still very worthy candidate. You've turned out another lovely video, with a great little boat and a very winning couple. They've certainly gilded the lily, but I can't say I wouldn't do it, myself, under the right conditions. :)
That was a delightful video.
i feel like pavlovs dog now. hearing the sound of your pup bark makes me excited about classic wooden boats...
Looks like a perfect pairing, very nice
Very nice!
And the perfect location to sail. One of my favorites.
beautiful design, great style. Not only the boat.
Cute lil old couple
Lovely boat, I want one.
Lovely, is the word for all.
S/V ...Waves
Как я рад за Вас, Вы такие молодцы, счастья Вам!!!
Это об отношениях....... your comment is the same really. Xорошее здоровье!
Merci pour ce joli bateau....very very beautiful....bye!
Long live the mighty Morbic, row it, scull it sail it, great carrying capacity as well.
Wonderful story. Thank you. I found the boat trailer very interesting. Not sure we have a comparable design here in the USA. Just the thing for a 12-16" boat
I really love that wonderful boat. The shape and lines are out of this world. I wonder if there are any building plans for one.
They're putting some nice scratches on the hull riding up and down those concrete walls!!!
Doesn't it make you cringe :$
LOvely boat (and couple - like everyone else is saying!!) I love the detachable bowsprit and the lack of standing rigging.
That says it all really :)
Another good video and nice boat if on the tad expensive side.
EdithHead see attached link www.vivierboats.com/en/new-morbic-12-for-sale/ the web is a wonderful thing, €9,600 seem expensive to me for a sailing dinghy only my opinion.
EdithHead look at the one for sale it certainly does look as good as spec. Still a nice boat
When I'm old I wanna be like that
Clinker hull with a lateen rig , classic !
Oh yes, I can understand Sarah Curtis very well. With that really pretty beauty, you've got a nice conversation starter. My experiences are the same. And I always feel very proud, when sailors of all those big ships come to me stating that my boat is the most beautiful in the harbour.
Besides that, I am very keen about this phantastic trailer. Do you have details about it?
Have a great sailing season

Красивый швертбот, молодцы!
Is the lovely Welsh lake in the mountains Lake Vyrnwy by any chance?
Me and my wife ended up there purely by chance a few years back and managed to hire the only dinghy in sight, an old wooden wayfarer. It was the best sailing we’ve ever done! Beautiful place.
Nice boat but that lower transom edge does drag underwater. Less drag if it was smaller or did not show up until it was a bit further aft and thus up out of the water.
Beautiful boat, may I ask,is the head sail or jib a nice addition to the balanced lug.
I'm building a Penny Fee and I have options of a balanced lug with or without mizzen, and a Gaff rig,with or without mizzen. I am going to start with lug yawl with a view to adapting to Gaff at a later stage.But if the lug with jib works I might just add the bowsprit and forget about the Gaff set up.
这个设计太棒了
⛵😍👍
“Beauty” = Agreed. “ ..could be the best 12ft dinghy you'll ever see” - We’ve sailed ours a few times and can confirm it is a great little boat. “… only two that we know of in the UK” - Possibly true when filmed. There are now several currently in build, and believe others may already be sailing.
There is a UK Morbic website
Lovely, many thanks to all involved. Also an interesting trailer with a detachable part. How is this type called?
I will contact the owners and find out
Hi there, this is the reply from the owner: The trailer came from Admiral Trailers Ltd., Unit 28, Flightway Business Park,
Dunkeswell, Devon. EX14 4RJ. Tel. 01404 891 913. www.admiraltrailers.co.uk
They shaped the trolley to the hull shape, (from a provided profile), and fitted
docking arms.
One docking arm snapped just above the bracing. Too much unbraced weight waving around when towing! Had it re-welded then cut both arms off short and extend them with push on plastic waste pipe before launching.
Otherwise an excellent trailer that does well what it should.
For reference it was ordered by Adrian Donovan, the boat builder, and collected in
April 2016.
Sailing on the very cheap if on a budget
Woman :'I did not pay for it (laughing).
I would like boat like that low matinec
Great Video and lovely boat, was it Cobnor where you launched?
Yes, The Cobnor Estate - take a look its a great place
Where does one get this type of boat it's one I'm exactly looking for
great wife
Have you ever done dinghy cruising with your Morbic 12? (big fan of Arthur Ransome)
Прелесть!
I could have sworn this beautiful little boat is a lugger, not a gunter, but these can be confusing.

It is and they said so. The Gunter was a different boat they had. Incidentally, a Gunter is properly referred to as a “Gunter lug”.
A very handsome and practical little boat, IMO.
Can anyone shed their views on a balanced lug with jib,,It looks like it sails well,I'm building a boat and might try this rig type
I'd love to have things that I dont have to pay for.
Any idea what the boat cost, since he refused to say? I have no idea what a saloon car is.
Have a look at their web site www.vivierboats.com all become clear. A saloon car? That's a 1950's UK expression for a family 4 door medium price range car. Thanks for watching
The boat have a keel?
centerboard
Welsh name?
Vivier boats and plans are extremely expensive
A 12ft boat of that design looks big... Beautiful thing to have but will never sell for anything near the original price unless to the right person.. A young bloke might think it was just an old heap of rubbish.
Ah, maybe, but what do young people know?
