North Sea crossing in a 19ft boat
Summer Holiday's: Sailing our Hunter Europa 19 from Shetland to Norway for a short cruise, and back to Shetland over 2 weeks. Lucked out with the weather with lots of sunshine and great sailing conditions. A wee bit of fog to keep us on our toes during both legs of the crossing.
The homemade horizontal axis windvane self-steering worked a treat, the key seems to be the adjustment and securing of the tiller with slight lee helm or weather helm depending on the point of sail, while the trim tab on it's own steers the boat, just as on David Blagdons H19 'Very Willing Griffin'. Thanks to You Tube, some songs have been removed to stop the video being blocked in 244 countries, now it is only blo...

Swimming into the Kirn, Cumliewick, Shetland

Snorkeling along the coast of Cumliewick Ness. Looking for good places for cliff jumping (checking for depth) and any offshore marks that may be good fishing spots for casting from the shore. Slight detour into the Kirn (a collapsed sea cave) for a look around. Spent an hour in the water before heading back up to the house for parenting duties... Filmed with Go-Pro Hero 2 camera Music; SAIL by ...
Mousa Wild Camping Trip Shetland
Просмотров 2,5 тыс.10 лет назад
Rory and dad go on a 'Boys' Own' adventure in the wee punt to Mousa Island for the night. We hoped to take the Mirror dinghy but paint was still wet from some gentle maintenance earlier in the day. Dinghy rides, tent's, swiss army knifes, exploring and driftwood camp fires on the beach, life doesn't get any better!
Shetland Winter Mirror Dinghy Cruising
Просмотров 3,4 тыс.10 лет назад
The windiest winter in 20 years, days on the water have been thin on the ground. In mid February, between the relentless gales, a day of settled weather saw the dinghy out on the water with a trip over to Mousa Island, motoring due to the absence of wind... While exploring around the Island by foot to see if anything interesting had washed up in the pools, I was lucky enough to find a couple of...
Mirror Dinghy Cruising (Mousa Isle)
Просмотров 45 тыс.10 лет назад
An afternoon to oneself. Attempting a circumnavigation of Mousa Isle in my Mirror dinghy. Turned out being a magical trip with perfect breeze and a great downwind sail back to Cumliewick. You can't fault the Mirror in terms of amount of fun and adventure to be had on the water for the minimum expenditure.

Wild killer whales in Shetland

More footage from our encounter with killer whales in Hoswick bay, Shetland Isles aboard our 19ft Hunter Europa sailing yacht 'Soñar'. A wee bit of footage at the end filmed from my kayak, but the camera casing was misting up from the heat generated from the battery by that stage. An absolutely amazing experience that I'll look forward to playing back to the children when they're older and appr...

magnifique !👍
Loving this vid and music making me want to jump into sailing
Live in Maine, and there is a Bristol Corinthian for sale down the street. Of course the engine well plug is a big attraction. ..lol
I don't understand why you say in the description that you "lucked out" with the weather then you go on to say how great it was? Surely "lucked out" is a bad thing? Certainly sounds like it!
Such a great video shame no more content
Hi, love the video (and soundtrack) I have just bought myself a Hunter Europa 19, I wanted to ask, what size outboard do you have and was it adequate? look forward to hearing about more of your adventures and maybe sharing some of my own! lol
Absolutely love it guys, have watched this so many times. As an ancient mariner nearing the end of my sailing time it makes me smile and remember why I always returned to the sea. Thank you for this gift.
I agree. It's still the best video on RUclips😊
Fantástico!
Proving that there is always someone with a smaller boat than yours.
I just bought a Manta 19, shes not as tidy as yours, but ill get her there.
We are so impressed guys and we loved the sound track .... some of our favourite tunes too ❤ We hope to follow your route in the next few years too .
Whatca great video thanks buddy all the best
Thank you for the video. Hunter 19 is a fine boat.
In Norway you have to report by radio/ Is it not necessary and can you anchor yourself, make a barbecue, go to the store?
Have watched your video so many times. Love it ! Well done guys. Small boat, big adventures. Brilliant
Very cool
WHERE DID YOU GO?
The sea wants to know, not the size of your ship, or built with what art, nor the size of your crew or your plans for the trip, but how big is your heart.
Sea doesn't care about any of these things in my experience!
beautiful !
Fabulous video 😊👌 thank you
What a beautiful little video _ I loved watching that. Norway looks gorgeous.
9 years too late but if you're fitting a camera to the Folksong then can you somehow gimbal it? Sailing videos look so much better with the horizon horizontal at all angles.
Amazing video. Just got myself a 22ft sailing dinghy and I'm from Northumberland so want to head up to Shetland then Norway. Wasn't sure it would be possible in such a small boat but then I saw this! What outboard did you have on that boat?
Love this Video, I noticed you reefed the main by rolling it around the boom. How did you do this and still maintain a reasonable shape in your sail??
Hi Steve, the text book answer is to roll up a sailbag within the mailsail and boom leaving the drawstring hanging out, and securing the kicking vang to the dangling drawstring. I prefer to roll the boom/mainsail with a bit of soft 10mm line as my sailbag drawstring is not strong enough . when the reefs are rolled and the line pulled taught, the vangs shackle can be attached to a stopper knot and tensioned as required. you can get a quick glimpse of the blue line at 4:14 . I should also mention, i have fitted a second gaff band on the gaff for putting in the reef. hope this helps! Happy New year!!!
Are you guys still around sailing your small boat ? Jean
Still got her? I just bought one hunter Europa in pretty bad shape as my first sailboat. Looks like you have done some modifications to the interior, do you have any pictures or tips? Greetings from Norway
Fintastic.
👍
Great! But my memories of Shetland? Natural sounds of sea and wind. Loud music drowned out the natural sounds.
Epic small boat cruising and epic soundtrack.
Good to see that the kids made out well.
How good has this fella got it, he's all snug in the cabin whilst his missus is out in the spray and cold on the tiller AND knocking up some bacon sangers, then passing him some while he's still warm and dry in the cabin. I might have to trade my missus in for one of those models
Great vid looked like fun. I just bought a Mirror so I'm watching all the vids that come up. Just got the Mirror book I'll get the other one soon. I live in Birmingham so only lakes and reservoirs for me for a while. Keep up the good work and have fun.
Maybe we should try for a mirror dinghy to mirror dinghy QSO on 40m! Enjoy the mirror! 73 de MM0VIK
@@kayakmaneuan Yes we should. Small world. The handle is Mark this end. Where abouts is you QTH?
@@m0mseadventureradionstuff329 name here Euan, Echo Uniform Alpha November, home QTH Shetland, but I'm currently /MM round the orkney islands (working 😩) 👍
@@kayakmaneuan I will be /A in SW Scotland early next month I'll let you know when I get there we can have a QSO.
I now have Hunrer Hirizo 23 sails well with a bit more sails well as it twin keels rather bilge keels.
I had a Europa although small a proper boat with hefty fin keel..
Man, what a show this video. Could you please share where I can purchase the plans to build a boat like this? I would be very grateful for that information. if you are ever sailing through Brazil, call me. big hug
How fantastic! 'Deffo a keeper' as we say in Oz, but we are usually talking about fish. I've two Mirrors, one a resto, one I sail, and an old GoPro. Better get to work. Thanks again.
I like the hands off approach to parenting.
Nice to come across videos of sailors visiting these places before they became totally overrun by RUclipsrs. Fantastic... I'll be checking out the rest of your videos... but now I have to go and get my boat ready.... spring is coming soon. Best regards from Jarle
Amazing video guys. Thanks for dearing and shearing. 19 ft ... wow. Beat regards from Jarle
Annoying music. Turned it off.
I bough a 19 ft sailboat and wanted to see what others do and got across this great video that has inspired me more to go sailing.
Great trip, love the music.
It must be down to your experience as would never have thought a mirror dinghy would be so stable in such a swell. Great video.
Brrrrr 🥶
Hahahaha 🤣 kids are great
Tough guys
Thank you for the video. 👍
Great video and I want the soundtrack. 👍
What's type boat?
Shes a hunter europa 19. Great wee boats!
