Scotland July 2022

Two Wayfarers cruising the Inner Hebrides

[grahamsharp]

Watched last summer’s solo videos which I greatly enjoyed. Even better to see two lovely varnished boats together. The wooden decks elevate a Wayfarer to much more than a floating caravan!😊

Every year I consider going up to Scotland from the Channel (French side) with my boat and every year I am being sobered up by the reality of the weather up there, for example when I see those sort of video's. At first I did not pay too much attention to the title of the video and was sure it was like "Scotland October 2022". Then I realized to my amazement that it was July weather....Part from this fantastic video.

Fantastic filming and editing. I’m blown away by the awesomeness of the Wayfarer—handling considerable seas and variable wind conditions. Can that boat be launched from a dolly? The weather in July in Scotland reminds me of November in New England. Why was sleeping in the boat preferable to tenting on the ground? My wife and I visited our daughter at university in Glasgow this summer and were able to drive and ferry all around Mull, Islay, and Skye. I saw little sailboats from our various ferries, way out in rough seas and was impressed. Great job showing a wonderfully cool sailing adventure.

I see you enjoyed our wonderful Argyll weather! 😊.. I have a 1985 Wayfarer rigged for cruising.. I must get out there more often! July 22 we were on the Kyles of Bute and yes, the weather was bloody awful!

Lots of sailing tips for us as usual from you guys, thanks for sharing.
Weather was against you a bit at times but some great shots of how it really is in a dinghy on those days.
And what a beautiful place to sail even on a dull day.
One day I'll get up there!
Thanks again for taking the time to film it and share it 👍🙂.

You guys really know how to sail. A great epic video, thanks for sharing it. Josh

Really enjoyed that and educational too! Shows what is possible in a small boat, but must admit I would have found that scary at times. I suppose it helps that there are 2 boats.

Brilliant video, watched last years then this one, such a contrast. Interesting how you coped with the conditions gave me confidence that you can make good progress with the tide and wind even if you are reefed. Thanks for posting.

From a Great Lakes sailer in Michigan. You all are absolutely inspirational! Skillful, seem to take everything in stride. Wonderful boats. And of course, awesome scenery. I feel refreshed and encouraged. God bless. Tom

Really enjoyed watching this. We now have W1100 and previously had W8156

So enjoyable to watch,
Time stamp 17:57 setting up tests.
How come no one uses ribs shaped and stored to fit the inside rails three 12 cm thick thick. Help keep flapping down and feel like more room.

Glad I found this channel. brilliant stuff.

At about 09:20 May I ask you what the little shiny clamps are, just aft of the camcleats on the centreboard case. I am looking for something that will clamp a line both ways and I am hoping they do that!!!

Where did you buy all your sea going waterproof clothing from especially van orange gloves they look nice and warm

[knucker]

A great film, very enjoyable to watch and much to learn from to.
I like the simple clean way you have rigged your boats. The removal of the seats gives much extra space, but seems lacking in bouyancy. You appear to be limited to bow and stern tanks or is there some below the floor boards?
Again most enjoyable.

Great stuff, but what's with the outbound motor 😢?

[philiphemmings]

Am new to sailing, so still learning, can somebody tell me what size outboard motor is being used on this yacht, I won't to gear up to be able to do some local UK coastal ingredients guys

Wind on the nose is Loch Sween - situation normal. Engine 👍
