Great Video and comments below. Looking to sew one for my wayfarer also.I had a question regarding the tent design - when moored to a buoy or at anchor, do you find that your boat swings over a wide range due to windage on the front part of the tent conpared to a tent that where the front (slanted) part is further back - around where the mast is seated as opposed to from the bow ?

Hi, What did you pay for the canvas?

Always wondered about stability with that much gear in the boat, think someone once described it as a waybarge 🤔

I remember sailing with a guy that had a similar Wayfarer. I've been too busy walky-walky and carry-carry so lost touch. Maybe one day I'll get back into sailing and I'll meet up with him again. ;-)

Hello Dan, fellow older Wayfarer owner here mine is a 1974 MK II sail #3971. I purchased my Wayfarer in 1991 for $1000 from a relative my sailing range is on Lake Erie and inland lakes in Ohio. Although I sailed on the Gulf of Main in 2007 for one week. My boat was factory rigged with a main sheet traveler system and outboard jib sheeting. Also my boat doesn’t have the class mast and boom so it cannot be raced which doesn’t bother me. My boat is gently used on fresh water and mostly stored indoors so it has held up well. The last 4 years where tough on it since I lost my indoor storage and it was outside all the time. Last summer I completely stripped the trailer down and ground the paint and rust off then painted and rewired using LED lights. Put new tires and wheels the completely rebuilt the hubs. Currently I’m revarnishing all of the wood then I’m going to attempt some gel coat repair. I may plan an early spring trip to St. Pete next year to coincide with a visit with my family there. Good to see the work and sailing you are doing.

Excellent video!

I've worked out what I think is the final and best method. After making the pouch by tying in the second reef front and back, I flake the sail back and forth first inside then outside the pocket. This makes nice neat falkes which are then easily and neatly rolleb up and tied off. The sail can be completely down during this process which is an improvement especailly in windy conditions.

Yes Eddie, I did read the Title. Reminder the Title starts, "Trailer Sailing Florida,s Ten Thousand Islands". Mu comment was to suggest it may have been improved if it showed some vision of a trailer sailer launching or entering some featured anchorages. It was meant as constructive critisiism.Doug Ringholt.

Very well thought out video. I am sharing it with my friend who is thinking about buying his first boat.

After deciding what features needed in a boat, one should also consider the joy and satisfaction of building your own wooden boat from a kit or, even better, from scratch.

Great video Dan. You forgot to add a slide about multihulls😊

У меня сделано немного по другому, но и этот вариант мне понравился.

Love it! Thanks Dan.

what fun! that was cool. Watching at work with the sound down some. what boat was it with the red circle on the sail?

These locations are on the western tip of Florida on the Gulf side.

Do you know what kind of bought is shown at the 2:30 mark with what looks like a two masted balanced lug rig?

As someone not from the area, I really appreciate your videos highlighting good places for mini-adventures. I'd love to see something about good campsites for the Everglades Challenge. Its not too hard once you get to the Everglade City area but how about the more urban areas up Noth? Ty!

well done !

Great stuff Dan. Some lovely boats in your party. Josh

Thanks for your video. It inspired me to make a tent for my boat. ruclips.net/video/lLtqSDNx2QU/видео.html

Love it absolutely perfect great job 👏.

I see you been camping over night there, i am planning to go there on my house boat on Chrismass, I have a question, are we allowed do do bun fires, and stay over night in the tent in 10 000 islands?

Do you get cell phone reception out there?

I like your roller furler ;-)

Thanks, this gave me the courage to put mine in the yard so I could roll it to inspect the centerboard. It's just as easy as you make it look, and I didn't even use any fenders.

Mildew stains? Polypropylene fabric has a nice hand but doesn't mildew or shrink.

Shrinkage issues? Roger Barnes' tent shrinks 6" then stretches 6" !

Nice i do the same

Hi Dan. Thanks for the videos. Could you do a video showing your tilting bunks set up?

Very nice, but the music drowned out some of the words... Still, thanks!

Do you think you'd be able to sail a 25 foot boat through the deeper green areas, with a keel?

Thanks for sharing this info with us. I hope to head down that way in the next year or so.

Nice video.

I always use my Navonics on the phone.

Very informative , Thank you !...Very cool of you to post this! also cool that your're on google earth ( .... Pre -exploring here .... I am subscribing ...probably be hitting you up for more info (;

Nice reminder of waking up on my boat. The best is looking outside my awning and seeing a beautiful sunrise....with coffee and a book.

What a great trip! Are you repeating it on a regular basis? Learned to sail on a Wayfarer (W1378) at the Sarasota Sailing Squadron 25 years ago, and did a few trips such as Cayo Costa. Would love to get back into it on the West coast, beautiful scenery.

Nice video Thanks Dan!

Which boat launch would be best for longer term parking, 2 weeks or more? If you anchor in shallow water and ground out overnight during low tide, does the park service consider that anchoring or camping?

Good morning Dan, very useful video. I am after some trailer. What’s the overall length of your trailer for the Wayfarer ? Warm thanks

Hi Dan,Are the tent tension straps sewn to BOTH the tent fabric and the triangular tension piece? Or just the triangular tension piece in the top adjuster leaving the tent fabric unhindered ? Wow that sounds complicated ! hope you can pick the bones out of my question .Thanks for your time

Thank you!

SO COOL that you and your group can be seen on Google Earth on/off Panther Key! Also, mad props for achieving Google Earth Omnipresence-- pictured in Dunedin at the same time! ⛵🏝

Totally useless 45 minutes of video. Not one shot of a boat sailing. Aussie Doug.

The second launching point is called "Port of the Islands Marina" not "Port of the Everglades".

This video is outstanding, Dan. Thanks for training my eyes on how to read the water on Google Earth.

Another excellent video! Thank you!⛵

Confidence building and motivating. Without this I would have questioned whether I could access this area from Everglades City in a sailboat without an aux engine. And with the information about the keys I can’t wait to get started.

my bad hearing :( i cant hear what you are saying with the music....

I really like the strap around the hull as a pull down, I've been dreaming of a tent on my Drascombe but don't feel I have enough gunnal to put buttons or hooks in to make hold downs. This looks like an elegant solution that takes only a little more time to set up but results in no having to put any new hardware into the boats hull. Thanks for sharing this video!
