1. I was the guy in the blue rescue boat!

2. Definitely don't start with a twin-keel…

3. nice to see cockups so we know not wot to do 🙂

4. And this boys and girls is why you never name a boat after a guy!

5. Excellent 👍

6. Funny, entertaining, and an honest example of the "landlubbers guide to learning to sail".
   So typically British "calm in a calamity" . In the midst of things going wrong, one MUST HAVE TEA, OF COURSE.😂
   I see a Johnny Depp movie in this somewhere.
   More! More!

7. Looks like a nice lake for sailing. Just apply for one of the sailing schools that should be there and enjoy safely this marvellous science-sport.

8. Ex owner of that type of boat and mistakes we made were worse on the high seas.The boat is great boat very sea worthy but has one small week link the rudder system on the top of the rudder shaft and if that cracks you got no steering and probably no solutions except call out RNLI if your on the high seas like we had to ..Our repairs to this problem was to drill a hole through the round steel bar rudder shaft that the tiller is connected to do that the tillers cap could no longer slip on the shaft if it's center locking bolt s threads sheered leading to cap slipping in the shaft .On hind sight that is a primitive way to repair this problem but usefull to have in place in a emergency use solution if proper repairs failed .We had this boat from 1974 when my dad bought it in Wales shipped it to Ireland and we sold it in 1980 ish sailed over 2000 nautical miles around most of souther Ireland's coast lines high seas even in force 7 plus winds .sails were changed to slab reefing as roller boom reefing was nearly useless. Jobs were Hank on so safety harness systems needed on front deck .Modern roller reefing jobs are messy but in lakes and day sailing in less than force six can work ok ish . I suggest a second fire stay system solution type and Hank on for system for working jib and storm jib for blue water and coastal sailing as back up as roller job systems are known to fail just when you need them or just replace roller reefing jobs with Hank on solutions which are more reliable .Engine we used was five HP seagul later replaced with petrol parrifin,8 hp two stroke Yamaha that with annual servicing did hundreds of hours use per season and used maybe 6 miles to the gallon at 6 knots .On parrifin power was only 6hp but good enough for this boat .A 12 volt electric. Motor of 55 lbs thrust is more like 1.5 hp low speed of 2 mph in calm and near useless in winds over 15 mph on the Hurly 20 foot with it near one ton weight .A modern 4 stroke 4hp outboard will just about push the H20 at 2 mph in winds up to 25 mph in lumpy seas but probably better in smaller lakes .Electric solutions exceeding 2.5 kw or 3 hp might probably work on lakes but often need 24 volt systems and PROPER marine type lead acid or lithium batteries.Clapped out car lead acid batteries pack in after short runs of few minutes as the plates are not made to supply marine electric motors demands .A good set of oars and oar locks can be made and that can power this H20 boat in most small lake use in winds up to 15 MPH if your fit and don't want to upgrade the electric power .Invest in water proof bags for mobile phones and know all the rescue boats phone number or buy suitable water proof floatable marine type walkie talky and know how to use it or repair the onboard marine type radio and get to know how to use it .Offshore sea use have safety equipment such as life raft or suitable dingy and flares best is parachute type .Electric lighting by car batteries is probably doomed to fail so parrifin lantern lighting and candles inside proper lanterns are good solutions if done so they don't set fire to the boat .We reduced port side berth and installed bulk head to make a sink unit on port side and put water tank into hollow left keel section to have washing water.Drinking water is best from bottles from the shops as tanks can get corrupted by algae that tastes nasty been there got the T Shirt..
   Yes some of these boats have done blue water sailing but the windows are a week point so need to be beefed up as large waves can pop the out .The sliding hatch has and doors need beefing up and anti leak attention for large wave impacts or being rolled over buy 360 degrees in storslms and suitable sea anchor solutions . Most blue water trips in these 20 foot boats are limited to solo sailor or at best 2 peoples like couples or buddies not entire families and the dog and cat and grannies as well it is a micro boat not a yaught .Lake use day sails 4 tends to be max but sometimes extra on calm days with small winds. Sails work best reef the main first and then reef the jib in that order as reefing jobs first tend to create unwanted extra weather helm forces..Avoid as much as possible battery type solutions for electric power as batteries often don't last long because they tend to be small batteries in small boats and other factors.Buthsne gas and parrifin and candle solutions. Often work best .
   Keep us posted learn to sail on the lakes and later look to do coastal sailing .Seas in the UK often have strong tidal current and tidal drops exceeding 35 feet so easy to tie up boat and find it dangling out of the water when you return to the boat .Also invest in good anchors and chain and rope to stop boat to get blown away to rocky shores. Enjoy your sailing look some you tubes on the basics of how to use power boats and sail boats and sail controls like halyards and sheets and rules of the water ways .
   No need in this Modern world to break a boat from lack of knowledge .Safe and fun sailing .

9. One of my favourite expressions is to 'wing it', which I think means to just learn on the fly or as you go, and just take it as it comes. Preparation and pre-preparation are good, though, as we embrace the spirit of adventure and the unknown. Too much preparation, though, might lead to inflexibility when some unknowns are encountered. So, balance I guess. Anyway, hope you are having fun!

10. oh wow. bless your heart. glad someone came to the rescue. things could have gone far worse.

11. Loved this! Good luck with sailing

12. Paldies par informaciju…..

13. Ahhh lol.. that was hysterical.

14. You brits are hysterical. Brave and you assume,.. no worries.. we'll just "crack on". Man, you took some real risks here

15. So how exactly did you guys get that kid from Harry Potter and Winston Churchill to make these videos..

16. I'm 5 minutes in and this is hilarious! All things I would definitely do myself, so thanks for making the mistakes for me!

17. Harry and Dad! Would love an update, how you both going? Are you both still sailing?

18. The best planned and prepared sail trip 👍😃

19. Your dad doesn't need reading glasses on that boat.

20. Love your dad👍🏾

21. love how game your dad is. bet he had never read an instruction manual in his life haha

22. You've got a great little boat. Study up and don't give up (and don't be dependent on the engine). Well done on the video, too!

23. Brilliant – 😆

24. This is AMAZING!

25. Never seen anything like this before…dont you have any pride? Learn a bit first? You got away with it but smashing into someone elses pride and joy which can happen in a trice if you dont have knowledge is not cool, anyway, fair winds and all that..

26. I loved the too I was told the same by the harbour in the Mumbles in Wales not to go out I was on a sea fishing kayak though
    Woke up next day in hospital apparently I was floating with a life jacket for 6 hours with pneumonia. Its life try everything you can while you can .love it well done .

27. Sounds like you’re local, if you ever need a hand, give us a shout

28. Fantastic starter video

29. Legends. To be honest you did alright. Nice launch, and you did manage to sail on the jib alone which is not that intuitive. Lessons learned though.

30. Welcome to sailing world!

    Always a good idea to learn how everything works before heading out on first sail…as you learned. I suggest finding a experienced sailor on first sail. The learning curve will be much quicker!

    On that small inland lake you don’t need a motor and in fact sailing a season without one will make you a much better sailor. A SUP paddle used while standing in cockpit seat will move you along surprisingly well.
    If you can’t find someone always go out with a reefed main in <10kts so you are underpowered and make long beam reaches under main alone…my 2c
