1. Nice video, thank you. There are always useful hints and tips to pick up from your videos. I have often idly wondered what "Avel Dro" means and I just looked it up. To my surprise, the first search result was that it's Norwegian for "Breeding went." However, the second result seemed considerably more likely: Breton French for "Whirlwind." She's a beautiful boat.

2. Hi Roger, I really appreciate your videos as well as the DCA ethos.
   Keep up the great work!

3. 13 min into your french TV film there is a clip of you sailing sitting on the floor boards.

4. Very tidy set up . I'd be interested to know what bilge pump you have and how it's set up. As well as what sort of drain it puts on the battery.

5. Muchas Gracias Roger por compartir con nosotros el gusto por la navegacion en Dynghies . Navego en un POLARIS " 17 PIES, en Corrientes, Rio Parana . Argentina.

6. Informative. Thank you.

7. Drop by for a few beers sometimes when you are in the area (Balayan Bay Sailing Club Philippines) …. 🙂 Thanks for a great video !

8. I’m curious where one gets your kitchen boxes? Thank you.

9. Really enjoy these videos, I'm hopefully going to start learning to sail this Spring and these are most informative. Have you considered using solar power to top up your battery?

10. Hi roger could you tell the size of your dinghy thank you .

11. Thank you Roger, I've been inspired watching your videos, and am just setting up my boat so this particular episode was very useful.

12. You need to go check out Roger Barnes channel. Hes got a lot of fantastic videos and his book is amazing ! If you get serious about dinghy cruising you definitely want to read the dinghy cruising companion . Roger did a fantastic job on that book it's worth reading 2 or 3 times. The section on anchoring alone is incredible. This guy really truly knows his stuff.

13. Roger, what are the two "Bottles" with the red lids forward of the centerboard cross seat?

14. beware casual viewer… the end will jolt you….

15. Great setup Roger, thank you🙏🏻⚓️

16. Fabulous .Set sail and everything is there.Like a small house nothing is left out but minimalist .Wood is best and don't the Bretons know a thing or two about boats and navigating.Wooden boats almost seem to have a soul.Happy sailing and adventuring,all the best,thank you for your very helpful tips.

17. Wow! A real live President, doing Youtube videos. Hope you're reelected.

18. Quite Right – "Hope for the best but plan for the worst!!!"

19. Wow, 25yrs old and looking great! Did you build her yourself? I'll be starting on a Lilou 2 from Francois Vivier very soon.

20. I have just discovered your blogs and I must say that this and your other blogs are brilliant. I'm a naval officer ( some 56 years service in the RAN and RN and a Master Mariner Foreign), your equipage, your knowledge and experience is absolutely outstanding. I do so agree that going out in a boat is the adventure of the journey and how one manages each new challenge. I can see and hear why you're the DCA President. I'm going to continue to be delighted by your blogs and yes I'll buy the book.
    Cheers

21. I think it's good that you made special mention of the length of proper oars. I see that most people seem to think that "economizing" on that is the thing to do. The shorter the oar, the harder you work per length of glide. The longer the time in water and length of pull, the less you have to do it for the same distance.

22. Thanks for another video which as always teaches me much. Passing thoughts I used to use Fortress Anchors – Very light and exceptionally strong. Also a lot smaller than your 'Naval' style anchor. In five years of full time sailing and anchoring in exposed bays they never dragged. The only issue I had with them was that sometimes they were so well bedded in to the ground that I needed to use an angel to bet them out. They outperformed my plough anchors too.

23. I wish you would do some more vids. And… What is the jazz music you use? Please cook lots of beacon.. But dnt panic buy it x

24. Those inflatable PFDs are NOT suitable if you have to self rescue.
    They tend to incapacitate one – have you tried swimming around in one? (See the RNLI videos of tests) climbing back aboard? Had it inflate after you thoughtlessly put on a coat over it? Had it "fail" on you? Serviced it $$$
    On the WoodenBoat forum the consensus of the experts was for the Foam Type (also good for padding as you pointed out)
    'nother point – Please tie your anchor so it cant fall out on a capsize cos it is likely inconvenient and / or disconcerting (maybe fatal) to have the bottom drag your boat away from you up-tide….
    (it has happened)
    ' ' nnother point – TETHERS – The WBForum experts , all but one (and even he sometimes) use them – and so do i now.
    Best regards,
    Frank

25. Where can I find a boat like this?!

26. Wonderfull info and presentation. TERRIBLE "music" underneath the commentary, like someone mumbling in the background with random screeches of high notes, had to shut it down 1/2 through, couldn't take the auditory abuse.

27. … bb J

28. Greetings from The U.S.A. – Florida – the west coast of the peninsula. Respectfully, I ask for a bit more detail please. I heard you say your boat is 15 feet, and I see on Vivier's website they indicate that ILURS L.O.A. = 4.44 meters, ( 14' 7" essentially). Is your boat a bit longer than what happens with new builds now? Thank you so much for all of your fine videos!

29. I See that here are 8 idiots.

30. ~ ~ ~ Fellow single-handed small boat sailor.
    I'm afraid to admit it, but I am full of envy . . . Just look at that head of hair!!

31. I would have never thought of camping in a boat till I saw your videos, seeing your friend with the "POP UP" tent on her boat got me thinking as I already have the same tent however being in my late sixties and having never sailed it may be just a dream?

32. Merci, another lovely video Monsieur Barnes, but the smooth jazz is a distraction to me, sorry.

33. The father I was supposed to have, and I am not even kidding.

34. I love this boat. this is cruising!

35. What type of boat is that

36. I am in the process of acquiring a wayfarer Mk2 just because a sail on one with a friend last year. I started sailing 3 years ago, I learn on a 1963 Merlin Rocket ….hard lessons here, as i have been told by more experience sailors "you just pass your permit and bought yourself a ferrari" well I learned the hard way and I am glad i did not quit on the contrary i have discovered you can cruise and camp and go for some adventure on your boat…Merci beaucoup Monsieur Roger pour vos video en France mais aussi sur Portland (Dorset) if you here again I would love to meet and maybe sail around i hope by the summer to be ready…
    Merci encore

37. Update…..hi Rodger, I finally got my Lilou2 kit in December 2020 and am 220hrs into the build. I've been posting YT videos of my progress.

    Question: does the Ilur have any additional ballast? The Lilou2 uses a water ballast tank. Thanks! James in Georgia, USA

38. What a wonderful boat and channel!!! Thanks for sharing.

39. I enjoy watching your videos – see some what looks like wooden thumb and horn cleats – did you make them or buy them and if you bought, from where – tks

40. Roger is an inspiration. I highly recommend his book as a primer for small boat cruising.
