Roger Barns is so an inspiring sailor! Thank you for sharing your experience!

I don't find big white yachts depressing: I find the sight of that many parked big white yachts depressing! I'd rather have a dinghy I can afford to sail (both timewise and money wise!)

More dinghy cruising at next year’s show please!!! There wasn’t enough this year and the interest in Roger’s talk was just amazing.........best attended by far of the talks I saw (I was there both days). Thanks for a great show though!

I love Roger's channel and his vids, though few and far between are excellent. I bought his book and am reading it for the second time at the moment.

I wish I could of been at that show, I like how the people in charge their were very kind and recieving of you there. I never knew you were a part of or had your own dinghy cruising association! Very Kool, maybe someday I can sail there...

@rachaelsanders5518 7 years ago

Great talk......saw this on the day. Very inspiring!

Great .. ha ha just deal with it people ..well said Roger ,

ooo, that looks great. I live by the sea and just started to learn to sail on a RYA course (at 62 years old) and most of the folk learning with me want to race things. But I've been climbing and sea swimming and mountain bothying for most of my life, so something like this appeals quiet a bit more. Thanks :-)

I enjoy Rogers cruising. I have sailed many size of boat in my life and I am going back to dingy cruising. I am currently searching for a dingy in Florida. There are many boats here but sailing is not that popular. Everyone it tearing around at high speed. the open boat appeals to me as the small enclosure of a sail boat is like an oven.Currently there is one wayfarer for sale in the whole country.

Roger Barnes is the best..........

@barrybutler6375 6 years ago

Very Good, i enjoyed all of that Roger, Great Stuff, i wish i knew as much about dinghy sailing as you.

@johnhines852 7 years ago

Great job Roger! You look far more at home in your dingy than on a stage watching the clock! In the US we have a couple of dingy rallies, and more people are camping using their dingies, but it is a wonderful thing to do that incorporates every aspect of seamanship and gives a great sense of accomplishment when you know you got where you wanted to go using only the forces of nature. And, sometimes you have a great time not getting where you thought you were going!

I am from new zealand. My personal favorite is the 16' Hartley trailer sailor. These very stable and fast vessels have a cabin. The hull is twin chined with a similar appearance to the wayfarer. Wow have I had some adventures. For six months I ranged between whangamata on the coromandel coast and rite up to north cape. This included many offshore islands such as great barrier island.
Very interesting thank you.

Loved the video. I'm 72 years old and live in North East England. I would love a yacht but my wife is adamant I can't have one. Expence, I've never thought of dinghy cruising. What would be an average length of a cruising dinghy, and is it expensive to start.
