    Lovely thanks ! I always wanted to camp with my OK Dinghy, but never did.
    I could do with some floating around on canals in England and Europe !
    cheers, Ken Austin

    Talk about being free as a bird ,this is it. I would like to think a lot of us wish we could do be doing just this . What a great presentation with such a interesting jack. It surely presented me new thoughts for this upcoming season . Thanks, so much for sharing ,Jon Baldock

    Thanks OCH for another nice video. I haven’t found anyone who wants more of their 9 to 5 job. Everyone just wants to get away and enjoy some quiet time. So if you are into boats, then Roger has shown that maximising your opportunities to escape in an easily-launched dinghy can meet this need. Horses for courses. Cheers.

    As a kid some 65+ years ago we new a couple who cruised in a Snipe, week to 10 days at a time. We thought they were nuts, but they continued for quite a few summers. Seemed to enjoy themselves. Who’s to judge. Enjoyed the video.
