I let the video roll largely for this video as I think watching someone work stuff stuff and bumble along can also be quite helpful to the novice. I also ramble on a lot about stuff that may pass on a few tips!!

Anyway here's how you set up the boat with all the sheets/lines etc, or at least how I do it. When I got the boat it was a little confusing how things went together and the Drascombe manual was helpful bit not fully helpful to me!

Hopefully this will help anyone with a Lugger out there.
