O que este vídeo aborda

Emily Harris launches two Fairey Marine Ltd. Duckling dinghies for her daughters Sophie and her sister, naming them Swallow and Amazon after the Arthur Ransome boats.3:59 One Duckling was sourced from Scotland — retrieved by a delivery driver diverted 150 miles — and needed restoration work before sailing; the second turned up later in the West Country, finished and cheaper.2:42 Both boats were christened with champagne at a waterside launch, then sailed for the first time in light, shifting wind that ended when rain set in.5:26 The girls describe learning to sail them with their parents and getting wet.5:26 Plans include attending a Swallow and Amazons event in summer, racing the two Ducklings against each other, and potentially towing them to the Isle of Wight aboard a larger boat called Alibi, since the Solent crossing is considered too rough for the small dinghies.6:19 The oar and outboard motor fittings on the Ducklings are noted as options for future racing formats.7:42
