The fine vessels designed and built by the Dickie family at the beautiful Loch Fyne fishing port of Tarbert were infused with varying degrees of unmistakable Scottish fishing vessel DNA married to strict yacht quality discipline learned at Fairlie by yard founder Archibald M. Dickie; the motorsailer TUNNAG (Gaelic for duck) is both no exception and a very fine, and authentically preserved example. The ingredients are all there: a bold sheerline bookended by a proud bow and sweetly curved canoe stern; astonishingly stout construction specifications; bright finished teak topsides and superstructures topped by a wheelhouse in which the amateur yachtsman could feel like a master mariner for the weekend, in command of surely the smartest little ship in the anchorage, or retire to a Pullman carriage interior in a quality of carpentry that few yards could match. And not to forget a pair of masts raked at just the right angle for an air of jauntiness, capable of carrying a fair spread of canvas. There is nothing quite like TUNNAG in offering such vintage pre-war chutzpah and yet modern practicality. She has recently received a completely new teak deck laid by one of best of present-day craftsmen and requires post-refit commissioning, including servicing of her trusty and economic Gardner engine, to have her ready for the season.

We were invited to meet some friends at Caura River and enjoy an afternoon lime with food, drinks and good company! We supplied the drinks and they brought an AMAZING Trinidadian goat curry with a 'Buss up Shut' roti (so good!). A big thanks to Roxy for cooking and teaching me more about Trini cuisine! :D The Caura River was a good place to relax and another spot ticked off our list of places to visit in Trinidad while our Leopard 45 catamaran undergoes warranty repairs. ______________________________________________ https://www.travelsketchsailing.com/ ☝Check out the website for more info on us, the places we go and products we use 📷 After backpacking Asia, road tripping Europe and doing a bit of van life, we’re now exploring the world aboard our Leopard 45 catamaran. 🎶 Music from Artlist ➼ Get yourself 2 months free with a subscription https://artlist.io/Telicia-1577425 #sailing #travelvlog #LifeStyle #travel #trinidadandtobago
