This is very nice. Brilliant. Small boat sailing. The simplicity. Nature. Our ancient heritage in our genes. I love it. I have downsized from having had sailboats that just got bigger and bigger and everything around the boat was getting more expensive. Cranes, harbour expenses etc. Now, my sixth sailboat is once again a modest 6m or 20ft, and it sits in my garden as we speak. Heavenly simplicity. Thanks for your videos ! Greetings from Sweden 👍⭐
@E C Ha! So true. I bought a relatively small boat (34ft), older, less expensive ($20,000) sail boat and have probably put in 3 to 4 x that in maintenance and upgrades. At first I struggled justifying the expenditure but now I just roll with it. It is like having children. You just keep writing the cheque's.
Thank you for your patience waiting for this video. Some vital Spring maintenance work had to be done on Avel Dro. Now that is complete there will soon be other videos, I trust...
Another GREAT relaxing video! I just love your work! However, I am a Yank, (of fine English historical significance, a great grandfather times a few, was James Figg, but he was a boxer) I would really like to get ahold of the plans for your boat and have one built for the Mississippi which is only a mile and a half away from me.
I tried to find your book but all I could find was that it cannot be had in the US. Must say that your videos are as satisfying as they are entertaining. Thank you so much and bless your heart!
Roger, quand je regarde et regarde encore ces videos, je rêve! Je rêve à ces moments fabuleux et je rêve à cet Ilur que je n ai pas et que je souhaite avoir. Mille mercis
J'ai remarque que c''est un dessin de Francois Vivier. Il sont des excellentes voiliers.Mon ami a un voilier de 20 pieds avec le ballaste liquide qu'il a construit lui meme .
Just loved this video - I'm building a Don Kurylko designed Whitehall sailing / rowing boat. It'll have a tent suspended between two masts and a spot to camp at night. Looking forward to summer nights on the mighty Hawkesbury (NSW - Australia)
Roger, pleasure and congratulations for the videos, I like it a lot! I think abaut haning a boat like yours, would you have access to construction plans ou buy them? thanks for any information.
Is that a Walker of Leigh on Sea Enterprise? . Id be interested to know because I worked for Walker in the sixties. These boats ...Enterprise...were usually built by one man employed at the Great Wakering works. Walker also built 12-14 -16 ft fisherman with or without a cuddy. smaller craft for tenders etc! They were all built using oak, stem, keel and stern posts, mahogany planking and Canadian rock elm which steamed really well to form the ribs. During that period Walkers had a very good reputation for excellent clinker built boats.
@@AndyJarman "Spooky" definitely looks look a Walker Boat. If it is a Walker nice to see she is still giving pleasure to her owner fifty years after being built.
Good morning, I have followed this channel for a long time and I am beginning to lead something similar in my country but, I have a great doubt. Do you carry portable toilets on your sailboats? How do you handle these situations when you camp outdoors? Thank you.
There are various solutions to the toilet problem - which can include carrying a portable toilet, although I just use a bucket and dispose of the contents carefully. But in this case we sailed to a pub which had toilets we could also use in the morning.
@@RogerRoving thank you friend, your channel inspires all lovers of the sea, I am not a navigator, I am a geographer, I see your channel, I learn a lot of data to live in the ocean, I am seeing the possibility of withdrawing from the life of the city and going to live sea, ... in these moments, studying the shape and construction of my little ship ... Greetings from my small and corrupt Panama
beauty.. amazing you offer this trick film clip for free. all over the world,with all those folks who love the sea etc etc including the camper's... and even supply a bird imitating orgasm.. and only 71 viewing in ! What kind of a bird was she ? Or should I ask.. I did ask,and i'm wondering cause it kept me from tuning out .. then to see you've a mate on the sail in,closing segment .. and I'm figuring .. well gosh, never mind !
Roger, I fear that you may be breaking potocol. I imagine that it's probably considered bad form to let your yachting Union Jack trail along in the water like that.
That happens with four wheel driving trips here in Australia. Everyone is self contained. Backpackers on the other hand know the value of campfire and a bottle of port to share around.

I am up to 34 ft and my next boat will also be smaller. I spend too much time maintaining and too little time sailing
@@stephenburnage7687 Me too, gone from a steel ketch to a 12'6 sailing dinghy and a Kayak, perfect

Nice to see Curlew as part of the flotilla! Lovely video as always. - Always an inspiration!

It should be available from Amazon, even in the US.

Life can be so uncomplicated! :-)
Just started to watch your videos - so glad I found your channel - -I love them ! -
I can guess how relaxing it is because I got relaxed watching it. Thnx!
Awesome video, your so lucky you live in a fantastic area for camp sailing. Beautiful
I can't get this video to play either.. Neither on my laptop nor on Apple TV TH-cam. Love your Videos!

I grew up on plastic Enterprises, didn't know there were clinker versions. Changed my view of them completely

Thank you for posting this video.
Curiously I could only see the video downloading it, since if you can download, it does not go to go online.
oh that was a nice day sailing it seems.
Greetings,, Kitty.
That wonderful looking boat "Spooky" looks great. What type is it? Is that able to be used coast-ally or sailed over to France?
She’s an Ilur. Link in the comments. You could sail her across the Channel if you really wanted to.
@@RogerRovingIsn't "Spooky" a YW DayBoat?
Can't get this video to play Roger. It comes up with a error. Shame as it looks most interesting.
Same here
Same problem for me...
This video will not play ..

@@RogerRoving Thank you very much Roger for your answer, I am a little calmer with these tips. A warm hug from Colombia.
It seems organising ones boat is a very difficult thing (only for architects?)!
Delightful!

Nice to see steve bradwell again worked with him 35 years ago
Enjoyed ! My question is, "what is the size of your dinghy" ?
Please re digitize this video so its easier to play. looks wonderful.
Still not working, which makes me want it even more
Hi Roger. What kind of camera are you using please?
Various cameras, including a Go Pro and an Olympus OMD.
Thankyou. The subjects are a photographers dream of course, but the footage is always very sharp and clear with excellent colour saturation and sound
I use an Olympus tg870. I just can't stamd the distorted picture the gopro fish eye lens renders.
This video not open.,. May be fall? Greetings from panama, excelent chanel.
Thanks. I will look into this! Roger

Hi Roger, which design is your nice dinghy? Thanks
On his website it shows that it is an Ilur, designed by Francois Vivier. Great navel architect

Is the white mirror called curlew?
Yes Curlew - star of her own youtube channel...
Sounds like a whole Flock of hundreds of seabirds... but not a bird in sight ...? Video's playing fine for me... good fun!
请问这是什么船？适合自己DIY吗？
What movie camera do you use?
A mix of cameras, Ian. I think this was mostly taken on an Olympus OMD.
Love your Chanel but sadly I can’t view this one
Ahh. (what more need I add?)
Yeah - will not play for me either???
Same here...
It won't play my friend
Roger, I fear that you may be breaking potocol. I imagine that it's probably considered bad form to let your yachting Union Jack trail along in the water like that.
Aaron Feldman , It's not a jack, it's an ensign. Even so, it shouldn't be in the water; that's disrespectful.
Still waiting . . .
Watchers excited to see you?
Still won't play
You call that sailing
Да у вас там целая банда лодочников!!!!!
Dont see anyone talking to one another no camp fires or bbqs wheres the fun guys
Londonboywanderer We went to the pub.
Say to the girlfriend "Come and spend a night on my yacht" may be somewhat misunderstood and lead to problems.
Benters , the problem is yours alone. The girlfriend is presumable over eighteen and can decide for herself where she spends the night!
The bird sometimes sounds like a woman being poked.
I was thinking the same thing....
Have you lot fell out nobody's speaking to each other
That happens with four wheel driving trips here in Australia. Everyone is self contained.
Backpackers on the other hand know the value of campfire and a bottle of port to share around.
Roger, can you please not do that to our flag, it gives a bad impression.
