Great to watch you sailing guys. Interesting to see the circumstances in CC. Some of my Swedish clubmates were there. They are not very experienced but they learnt a lot.
Nice video! Thanks for sharing your technique! from other videos of that race, the wind looked intense! Good job done by your crew! Fun to watch! I race and teach J24 in Madison, WI and I was wondering why you pull the main aft while sailing downwind. Looks cool when you and sheet trimmer do that in sync!
Great video! Lot of fun to watch the action close up. I am curious though about jib trim? I’ve sailed on Farr 40s and smaller keelboats, and we were always told to not go full trim immediately after the tack. Granted the wind + sea state is very rough, I’m curious if you felt like you lost more distance & speed on the tack than you anticipated?
In the tacks, we would get the jib in as far as we could, and then the skipper grinds it in as soon as they are done with the traveler. It's a tinny jib, but we did play it with the wind. Tacks were fast and we would go to 1/2 speed, but we got back up to speed quickly. 5.6-5.8 speed upwind. We hit 12-13 downwind. We use a velocitek prostart so not sure if that's mph or knots.
@@sailingandstuff4029 Wow you were cooking it downwind.. Even upwind too! I haven’t sailed J/24s before, so there’s always something to learn 😅 thank you!! Happy sailing!
