Sailing the Tenby lugger with Tom Cunliffe

Lugger sailing is different. The sail is attached to the mast only by the yard which carries it aloft. The front bottom corner (the tack) is hooked to a forward part of the boat and the sheet which controls it all is attached to the back corner (the clew). And that's it. A modern sail can press a boat down, but a lugsail lifts her as it drives. The replica of a 100-year old lugger - and the historic lifeboat - in this video live in a museum in west Wales. The place is something of a homespun inspiration, so click in and join me. If you’re interested in sailing, things maritime and the salty road to freedom, you'll enjoy my channel, so pour yourself a glass of the finest and settle down with my personal mixture of yarns and useful instructional material. When I’m away cruising, I never know when I'll get the opportunity to upload. If you can't wait, why not become a member of my website club? You'll find lots of members-only videos and articles, not available elsewhere, and have a chance to join in a regular online forum. • Website: - https://www.tomcunliffe.com/ • Become a Member: - https://www.tomcunliffe.com/my-accoun...
