The pocket puller is one of our most popular accessories for anyone who wants to pull recreational crab pots from our rowing & sailing dinghies! Here's a quick video demonstration of how it works. 1) Insert the pot puller into the oarlock 2) Thread your line over the pulley 3) Pull! You can cleat the line to hold it in place any time you need a break. Easy peasy! We love this because it not only protects the gunwale, but makes pulling easier on your back, too. This is an especially great investment to make if you've got wood trim on your boat, since it keeps the wet line from rubbing against the wood finish. P.S. Sorry no crab in the pot. Crabbing season was closed when we filmed this so we had to keep our bait box empty! ;)
David Payne of the Australian National Maritime Museum gives us a little inspiration for the Australian Sailing Hall of Fame with a look at Barrenjoey, the 5.5M yacht which was sailed to Olympic glory in 1964. Grandfather Bill Northam and crew Peter “Pod” O’Donnell and James Sergeant, won Australia’s first Olympic sailing Gold medal in Tokyo in this beautiful boat which was designed in the US but built in Australia. Nominations for the Australian Sailing Hall of Fame close on June 16, so get your nominations in 👉🏻http://www.sailing.org.au/australian-sailing-hall-fame/
