Practicing – We volunteered to sail against a SYC team training for a national event in New York. DS, JM and I on Moya. The wind filled in the way it is supposed to in the summer. Warm NNW breeze 8~12. Perfect. Vidcam worked for the 1st hour.
We did OK upwind but were schooled going down under spinnaker. Amazing roll gybes. The video is 3x speed and there is too much downwind in it. Watch it if you want. J is in the dark shirt. He looks comfortable on the boat but did not care for the spinnaker halyard.
We had fun (note to self – eat before sailing)
Well, congratulations! Apparently all you had to do was file a protest with the wind gods. Lesson learned, eh?
Is J texting while sailing? Doesn’t look like you were left in the dust, D! You’re a great sailor and I love watching these videos!
