MOST DINGIES HAVE SELF BAILERS THAT YOU OPEN AT SPEED. THEY DRAIN ANY WATER OUT. I USED TO SAIL 505s. A OVER-POWERED, 5.05 METRE PLANING, TWO MAN TRAPEZE DINGHY. TOWED A SKIER ONCE WITH TWO GUYS ON TRAPEZE AND ME ON HELM. AWESOME DINGHY.!!
Early in the video - about 15 seconds in: Did 231 foul 307? So since the both boats are tacking inside the zone no 18.3; just 13 (and all the others). - Prior to the lead boat - 307 tacking 231 owed her room as 307 entered the zone clear ahead. - That turns off when 307 tacks. 18.2 (d) - Until her tack is complete 307 had to keep clear of 231 - Once 307’s tack is complete 307 gains Right of Way - From that moment 231 does all she can to keep clear - she could not cross - she could not duck - so she tacks. As the newly ROW boat 307 must give 231 room to keep clear (Rule 15), which she does by luffing up as 231 completes her tack. My call is: No Foul. What do you think?
Many thanks@@vxone3167 for the info. We just had the Canadian Champs at our club over the weekend. The conditions on the first 2 days were too light but day 3 was champagne (maybe a little light for the VXOnes) but action packed all the same. Looked great from the water!
Just a doubt, I see that the back is open. If water enters does it not sink? that is, the vx one is made of some foam that is practically impossible to sink?
An astonishing display of ignorance of Archimedes Principle (or why things float). The open stern has nothing to do with it floating or not. Incredible you should ask such a question.
@@nickbenfell4327 Do you really think that all boats, vessels, catamarans and all types of marine transport can be open like this and they are not going to sink? or can they lean at that angle??? Do you really think that a cruise ship like the Royal Caribbean International can do the same? I congratulate you for looking for the definition of Archimedes' principle on RU-vid, because of the rest, manufacturing, materials, etc. You have the knowledge of my nephew
Water flows out of the back of the boat. The boat is built with a hull on the bottom and a deck on the top. With the VX1 the deck is about 4 inches above the hull. The sailors are standing on top of the deck, that is 4 inches above the hull. So the sailors are about 4 inches above the water. Any water in the boat is 4 inches above the ocean, so it runs out the back.
