Primarily just unedited videos of sailing my beach catamaran in Kaneohe Bay. I use this so I can look back at the day and see what I could have done better... or just enjoy the experience again.
Also added a Stryker inflatable boat to expand the possibilities for boating activities on the island. Have used it as a sailing support boat, snorkeling, watersports, etc.
If you like watching hours and hours of someone else boating... have fun!
Hey Trevor, I could use some help with the rope management aboard my Hobie Tiger F18. Could you please do a video explaining yours and how you set it up? It looks really neat and would bpe well apeciated. Greetings from Hamburg, Germany; Kevin
These two are doing it right! Catamaran rule number one. NEVER sail with any rudderblade up. Get them down! Why? If you pull or push the tiller, you will BRAKE a rudder blade. A broken blade has the silly effect that you cannot steer GOOD. And that can turn out fatal before you know it. So, be careful NEVER to lift the ruddders. Sailing near the beach, in the shallows, do not steer hard, and get away from there. One gust of wind and you hear BANG and do you have spare rudder blades?!
Looking good Trevor. I sure miss those beach cat races on the bay. Hey Just curious it looks like you dont have your boards down all the way and you are heading upwind. It's that typical on your cat.
We miss you! When it is blowing as hard as it was, it does not make a huge difference for reducing leeway. Putting them all the way down does increase drag and heel, so I like to just leave them about half in most conditions. If Dan, Ken, or Dean were out, we might have put in the extra effort to see if we could double trap and point a bit higher.
Hey mate! What setting is your Kinu at for this? I have the same grinder but just got my Flair and am interested to know if my current setting of 1.4.3 is too fine or not. Thank you in advance
That is definitely on the course side, but might still be in the right range depending on the basket, type of coffee, and your dose. With the Flair high-flow basket, I think I was grinding anywhere between 0.9.0 and maybe as high as 1.3.0. The Flair 58 is super forgiving if you pay attention to what is happening and adapt your pull and yield. If it is running fast, keep your peak pressure down to 6 bar or maybe a bit lower, and decrease as the shot goes to keep your flow steady. You can also run a longer yield to save a fast shot. Look up the turbo shot -- it is a great place to start when you are dialing in a new coffee or setup. Go finer gradually until you go too far... you'll really get a feel for dialing in. I currently use a weber workshops 28g unibasket -- I call it the unibucket since it is so huge. Find myself grinding as fine as 0.7.5. But that is a crazy setup and I often run out of water for what the shot needs.
@@jonesta79 Thanks heaps man! Appreciate your advice a lot...I am just using the stock basket that came with the Flair 58. Is that the high flow one? For these beans, I might even be able to push it a little coarser - my relative noticed that as I held at the 8 or 9 bar mark, the espresso was coming out in one area of the portafilter only (is that channeling?)
These inflatables are really great for diving. I have a BRIS 18, not nearly as rugged as this boat and I only run a 6hp right now. I'd love to be hauling ass like you guys!
I think Matt and Chris were sandbagging until that last run. Maintained almost the same gap since the first A mark rounding, then they ate it all up in that last leg in no time. He knows how to make that Infusion GOOOOO on a run! Was an awesome race! Will be even better next time with your boat ready for the start!
Watching too much SailGP! Logic was tack for a split just after the mark and then get the port board down. Without the board, had a bad rounding and poor tack. Ken followed rule 14, thankfully avoiding any hull contact.
