Actually it's not gimballed camera. The stabilization done in post processing. We had gimballed GoPro on starboard side, but Poseidon took as a gift somewhere at Point Conception.
I did a lot of racing on San Francisco Bay years ago, YRA PHRF 185, and did the coastal sail down to Half Moon Bay and Monterey a few times. The video brought back some very nice memories. Thanks.
Great job… What kind of shackles are you using. I expect the same as most people, but golly darn it, that was a lot of shackles coming loose! Great job recovering from all those instances though, and congrats on the 3rd place!!
You have to use insulation tape on those cheaper shackles! learnt that lesson the hard way, the boat owner didn't want to splurge on buying Tylaska's either.
Great vid … thanks for that. 2 questions; 1. Is that 1 or 2 Aussies on board? 2. are gybing that spinnaker inside or outside? … I couldn’t quite work it out.
@@SunFastCam ha ha that’s very funny … I thought it could be AI but then I thought “No it couldn’t be that an AI system would use an Aussie accent” …. thanks for getting back to me on the accent and outside gybing. 👍 😃
Excellent question. Just regular snap shackles like this one www.westmarine.com/tylaska-marine-hardware-snap-shackles-P002_060_001_508.html not sure what particular brand. In other time couldn’t open it. I guess they got some beating in their prior life and need to be replaced.
I got fed up with opening shackes (not every shackle is a tylaska) and we always secure the halyard shackles of the kite with electrician's tape. Not a problem after that.
@SunFastCam for sheets, great. For halyards, i'd be suspicious. They hold, but as a bowman I know that halyards (and kite sheets for that matter) need to be frequently attached and detached somewhere in a hurry for a moment, often with just one hand. Soft shackle will make that a pita.
We are in the double handed division where it is allowed. "6.9.8. RRS 52 is changed for the Short-handed Sailing (SHS) class only, to allow the use of autopilots during the Series" offshoreraceweek.com/docs/2024-CORW-NOR.pdf
Curious about that sponge for the bottom. Is it just a standard sponge or does it have a rough harder face on it? We are in fresh water so it is different but we want to wipe the slime off and also be able to remove the odd zebra mussel.
21:47 5 minutes earlier i was thinking... Im glad i have a masthead, i would forget to set the runners on the gybe for sure... Guess it's not catastrophic!
Thank you for the educational demonstration. Would it be possible to flip the "wind/point of sail" diagram upside down? It would correspond correctly bow, stern, starboard, and port with the picture. Best, Vadim
Here is my reasoning: The diagram is oriented so the wind is coming from the top. Let's consider the tack at 3:42. The dot and arm is the boat speed and direction. Before the tack the wind is coming from the ports side, so the dot and arm pointing right as you would draw the boat going upwind on a port tack. At 4:00 the boat is head to wind, so the dot is in the center. Once the tack is complete the wind is coming from starboard so the dot is on the left. The downwind is more confusing, it's just made as continuation of upwind, imagine the boat bearing off, beam reach and going deep. The dot just continues to move.
Actually autopilot is on. On some of our other videos with instruments overlay you can see when autopilot is on and when it is off, also it shows the rudder angle. For example here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-g10L6B2rNmc.htmlfeature=shared
Heck yeah! 5:09! Getting the boom wet! I'm 50% happy we didn't do it and 50% sad. We had a birthday party... and then Ira (ee-ra) ended up getting sick anyway so we did nothing. Great job!
my only critique is that during your spinnaker hoists and douses, you might want to rely on your autopilot more so both of you can work pit and bow - would probably increase the speed of the maneuvers
Great Job! Super fun racing against you guys! Question: did you take your kite down because you felt you could go similar speed, but more on-target to the mark? That’s why we took ours down, and we actually wish we had kept it up. Curious if you have the same regret, or if you feel it was the right call.
I wish we had some good reason. We just mistook green buoy G"1" with Blossom rock and started to get ready to round it. You might imagine how stupid we felt when realized this mistake 🙂
@@SunFastCam ahhhh, yep, I can relate. If you haven’t seen our recap of that race, check it out. We have some awesome footage of you guys surfing our stern wake.
It's the standard production one. We found that in the light air (typical SF winter) the inside gybes are easier than the outside ones. But we are just learning this boat, so might change our mind later on.
@@SunFastCam similar on mine. This is Phil from Fearless. Would love to chat about the boats. I have had her for one year and learning. I will be periodically in the Bay Area due to good family event….
Don't quite know yet. The suspicion is that the tack is not connected properly and doesn't rotate when the drum rotates. In other words the Code 0 is rigged as a spinnaker.
It turned to be the head swivel. It was seizing under the load. Once we installed the new one, the problem is gone: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0NzSSpPxSg8.html
