We leave the beach, do a few tacks at Bribie Island and return. Nothing exciting happens, just a pleasant sail in 10-15kts. This video is a nice way to kill an hour & a half with mindless viewing, guaranteed not to over stimulate.
I come back from time to time just to see how stable this boat is under sail! Amazing! Those chesapeake oystermen knew what they were doing,great execution of design,Mac!😉👌
TEMPO is such a lovely boat!!!! Enjoy watching you sail, I listened to a soft loop of Fila Brazillias Tunstall and Californian Haddock whilst watching, A little splash a little dash. Happy New Year!!!!
Now that is what I would call a well executed sail. Like you, I take great delight in never using my paddle or Auxiliary engine. Tempo seems a great name for such a lovely vessel in the hands of someone who knows how to handle her. I would love to know just how you mounted the camera. Despite the limitations of wide angle lenses with their curved horizons, this is still very watchable. Thanks for your efforts to record your trip.
Here's the aft cam mount. It's kinda to hard to see in the clutter but it's a laminated staff or bow tensioned with fwd guys to prevent shake. The idea is to get the cam off the boat. imgur.com/OUQvCdB
Here's more pics: imgur.com/a/hUD3r7W. Spinnaker Sound videos were the first made using a GoPro7 Black and a "Hohem iSteady Pro 3 (not shown in above pics)
Very nice! I have a few questions, what are the dimensions? Length, beam and hight? How much water does she draw centerboard up and down. And is the centerboard weighted with lead or is this Sharpie unballasted?
Thanks David. Length is 18', Beam 5.6', mast is 20', draws 15" board up, @4' down. Centreboard is weighted just enough to make it sink. There's no ballast. Tempo was built from Reuel Parker's "The Sharpie Book". An excellent book for all kinds of common sense solutions.
Great vid and camera position! Puts one at water level with ya'll! Do ya have a vid explaining the snotter rig? That 's something one does not see every day. Would like to have seen two life jackets but that is a personal choice. Thanks again for sharing!
Here's how others have done it: duckduckgo.com/?q=sprit+rig+snotter&t=ffab&atb=v1-1&iar=images&iax=images&ia=images We're going for a sail after Easter and will video Tempo's rig set-up. Cheers!
