@11:00 talk about the leeward tell tail moving up. Due to the boot hull air displacement etc. Nicely thought but incorrect. It’s Bernoulli law that makes air moves upward on the hollow side of the sail. The higher density air likes to move to the top ( tip of a wing) where it likes to compensate for the less density air. This makes a Eddy current on that top. Obviously that’s a disadvantage for smaller jib where the eddy is disturbing the main sail. Needless to say that the tell tail moving up is perfect indicator if any sail is set correctly. Best regards form a aerodynamic specialist. Nice explanation and please keep it up .. it’s helping sailers a lot
The video shold have been about 3(three) minutes. longer. It would have been fun to see how they pass each other, and how hard it is to stay on the board.
so what you are saying is my topper iso and contender are bot out then lol, altough i have had a 2hp seagull outboard on my contender to motor it around to the bay we use to go dingy sailing in as it was the only way i could get it there, as it was a tad windy to sail it, i did pack all my camping stuff on it once and sailed it 5 miles down the cost to go to the local sailing club bbq weekend witch was fun, had to get a tow back though as there was no wind to sail back!!
Looks really flimsy to me. Just yesterday I had occasion to sit in my car through a Midwestern rain squall. Several puffs were strong enough to rock the car on its suspension. It was raining so hard (horizontally) that visibility was much decreased by the volume of water in the air. I can't imagine that tent surviving, let alone keeping its occupants dry.
A newbie question please. With all the water pouring in from the now closed gates, should you then leave the opened gates open once you've left the lock?
She wants act as a professor and makes things sound more complicated than what they are. Good pros can explain complicated things in a simple and clear way without fancy words.
I mean i do prefer the Melges 24 over the J70 sailing wise but the cost running the J70 is so much better!! And i hate the rule that you cannot hike properly in the boat
I'm looking to get a dinghy that rows, sails and has a outboard motor that I can get into lakes and rivers in and do some fishing and some electronics and lights.
I would take a narrowboat over the channel if and ONLY if I had 2 narrowboats. One for living in as a home back in the UK, and a second one that I can just crash and bash about a bit just for the "LOL" of it. You can pretty much forget about insurance on that boat.
As a follower I would sometime like to see a detailed, slow lesson lingering on the details of Avel Ro's boomless, balancdd lug rig if that's possible. Perhaps illustrations can appear in your next book too?
I like the part where Georgie Jump into the water while wearing her spinlock deckvest center and her head was out of the water and her life jacket was inflation 0:41
I'd seriously recommend folks do the RYA levels 1&2 sailing courses The capsize recovery training is so important Stay safe and Have a wonderful summer sailing out there folks Ps I live in Bristol, UK Doing my RYA courses with the All Aboard watersports centre My instructor is Ben Who's fantastic 😊
This is a great video for any support boat drivers not used to 29ers. 29ers have practically no stability and will capsize in a still flat day unless you do something to stop them. I would suggest that towing them with the main up is only practical upwind. Also, this video is shot in light winds and fairly flat water. When its windy and the waves are bigger, and when most of the problems start occurring, things like lifting the mast out of the water become much more difficult.
Somewhat fake, butt that was SOMETHING in my hometown in the Land of Goshen, Land of Lincoln USA when a racoon harbored in theYonakas Jewlery store, hanging around all of the largest diamond wedding rings! Then a raccoon came to my Democrat pro-life,coalition neighbor to live in a galvanized, corrugated drainage pipe on a new road for new new subdivision behind my mother's rental. Then someone put a deep DENT in the end of the pipe, likely so the racoon couldn't enter. I tried to remove the DENT by prying-up with the 11-foot mast of my, used, $325, old AMF Alcort Sunfish sailboat, sitting in the YARD illegally, near the new subdivision. Then the mast of the sailboat disappeared! People in the subdivision were being stung by bees from a hive in the yard of the rental. The red mailbox 'fell' off it's post; I had to SECURE the mailbox! --glk, Town cryer, Ten ton dog, 🟫🟩 WW11 tail-gunner. Yes,I pooped today!
Thank you Roger for your opinions and comments. You always motivate me to think small and cheap. You are right on in your comments and I love your book !
