A Cruising Dinghy for Crossing the North Sea?

By popular demand I have got around to making a video about the boat I sailed from Ipswich to Norway, via the West coast of the UK and across the North Sea from Shetland. After a lot of faffing with editing, I cut the video down from over an hour to a more sensible length because I went into far too much detail about my approach to dinghy cruising, the seakeeping simulation and design of the hull, and the model testing and simulations of appendages on the rudder amongst other topics. If those sound like something you want to hear about in more depth let me know in the comments and I might get round to making a follow up video.
