Sailing on a canal – dylan winter blog 25th jan
I took the Duck Punt down onto the Aylesbury Canal – which was not frozen this time. I sailed two miles down and paddled back – all without turning the boat around.
The mast step fell apart and one of my fillets broke apart but I had a wonderful time
I also managed to put it onto the patent fender roof rack and take it down my myself
the paint on the bottom is garage floor paint – and very good it is too
Finally the cock-ups
Please buy my DVDs
It looks very stable Dylan, im very tempted to make one myself. would it take two people?

no probs – they race them with two people rowing

The punt looks great! I very much want to build one now– what did it cost you all in you think?
BTW – That canal has very pretty countryside. You live in a very beautiful place.
