In May 2024 I received my brand new Europe dinghy from synergy marine. In June, after fitting out with Allen hardware and Marlow ropes it carried me to the National Title.

great video - loved the live commentary and the audio quality was spot on. Good stuff!

@MozzySails Месяц назад

Thanks, normally wind noise makes any on the water commentary difficult so I have bought a waterproof lav with a small dead-cat on it pinned to my hat. I'm pleased with the results so far (it was about 8-12 knots here)

@NikolaKrsanac Месяц назад

bravo Mozzy! Europe is top dinghy boat for learning fine tunning and great fun.. respect from Croatia

@Spartan902 Месяц назад

To win a title in that sort of class shows just how good a sailor Mozzy really is. Well done mate! Skipper of the English entry in the future America's Cup?👍😎

@rgpiccioni Месяц назад

I'm in Sausalito, near San Francisco CA, trying to refit (and learn to sail) a 1998 Winner Europe. Intense little boat! Your video is really helpful. Thanks!

@MozzySails Месяц назад

Good luck!

@Ollyhop Месяц назад

Another great video pal. It’s good the way you explain the stuff

@MozzySails Месяц назад

I try

@real2gone Месяц назад

Congratulations, Tom. A fine win and an excellent vid.

@paulbrown2971 Месяц назад

That was a very enjoyable watch. Thanks!

Love to see more and more people sailing on the Europe! Keep up the content!

@ArjanHarre Месяц назад

I'd love to see more of this dinghy up on the plane ... I used to race R-class and 16 footers and the rush of being on the plane is awesome.

@jonas2674 Месяц назад

Pretty cool video, good audio. Brought back some old memories. Sailed Europe from -98 to -02

@warwicks2780 Месяц назад

Very insightful. I’ve sailed a lot in small boats as a kid but don’t know any of the lingo. Very cool to see the parallels to America’s Cup too!

@mallorcariders Месяц назад

Good video Mozzy! This one will make me to sail my Europe dingui again after 8 years!

@stevencito1000 Месяц назад

Well done!

@marcoschnabl Месяц назад

That brings up some nice memories...

@tomedom5107 Месяц назад

Well done Mozzy, you are a rare talent. First time win is quite something. Euros and worlds? Any class you move into must get a nervous twitch!

@mauriziocanale1669 Месяц назад

Bravissimo Tom!!!!

@peteharper3614 Месяц назад

Having raced Lasers competitively it is interesting to see all the added controls.

@radarriau Месяц назад

Voice was great! Yeah... Traveler adjusting over main sheet is by far the best, for sail shape stabilaty etc. Nice boat! Need one in San Francisco. Cheers!

@marctello8861 Месяц назад

Aer you going to go to the worl championship this year? I have been a Europe sailor for a long long time, now retired and I'm a coach, but in the 7 world championships I have atended I've never seen anyone from the UK. It would be a plesure to meet you at an event like a Wolrd Championship. Nive boat btw.

@MozzySails Месяц назад

Not this year. The mid term aim is the Master Europeans which are at my home club next year. But I may do some other international events after that

@Kaidosesaling Месяц назад

Grate vid

@MrJuliancarroll Месяц назад

I really like the format; audio was perfect. I'm not sold on the Europe though (it looks really slow!).

@mir630 Месяц назад

Grande Mozzy!

@user-nt9nd7xm5f Месяц назад

Great tweaking tips and congratulations on the win 🏆I’m surprised you’ve not been approached by sail GP and the Cup teams I think you know as much if not more than them. I believe the cunny was named after Briggs Cunningham an Americas Cup competitor in the day, arbitrary fact.

@AnttiBrax Месяц назад

I still dream of owning a Europe dinghy, knowingly ignoring the fact that I had to sell it when I was a kid because I literally couldn't fit under the boom anymore. Too tall for a Europe. Not fat enough for a Finn. Forever stuck with a Laser. Congratulations on the title!

@evan1188 Месяц назад

why not an OK?

@AnttiBrax Месяц назад

@@evan1188 Unfortunately that class doesn't really exist in this country.

@tomalexander1300 Месяц назад

Mainsheet is like the kicker upwind like Dart 18 cat.

@TheCruisingKiwis Месяц назад

Congratulations! So you know how to sail then and not just give great analysis. Go Team new zealand!

@clairelewis5008 Месяц назад

Great video Tom congrats on your win. Audio was great can you post the details of your microphone 😊

@MozzySails Месяц назад

Hey Claire, I was using a DJI wireless mic recording through with a Shure MVL lav mic placed on my hat with a small dead cat on. I put the DJ wirelsss mic in a small dry bag in my buoyancy aid to keep it safe.

@paulmeier678 Месяц назад

Go Mozzy go

@MartijnDesijn Месяц назад

Very nice video mate! About the traveller: i see you have a 2:1 purchase, what is the benefit of adding a low friction ring?

@MozzySails Месяц назад

If you pause at 0:45 you will see the frictions rings act as a take up for the traveller (starboard side is taking up slack). The two are joined together via some bungee cord around the front of the centreboard case. This stops the excess rope on the leeward side from getting tangled up around anything

Im definitely using this comment pieces to provide info about sailing to my friends that know even less then me😂@MozzySails

@AdmRaizoTanaka Месяц назад

Yes, this fellow can Sail. He also seems to be good at engineering. He seems to have a good fitness program, a good haircut, and good communication. His videos are efficient and short. Should have stated dinghy's length, beam, draft, and max speeds (fastest in this vid, fastest so far, at what wind speed, etc,)

@tomalexander1300 Месяц назад

Also, I think singlehanded tack much better and nicer with the traveller system. Eg: Ok tack much better than in a breeze.

@ferdypl322 Месяц назад

How would you compare the loads to those in a laser?

@MozzySails Месяц назад

Generally everything is less loaded except the mainsheet upwind, however you tend to cleat that and play the traveller instead

@d-zeronut5094 Месяц назад

Hi. Can you tell me what the camera rig you have on the back is?

@MozzySails Месяц назад

Made it myself from a glass lifting suction cup from park tools bonded to an old tiller extension with a ball and socket joint on the end (plus a safety line)

@d-zeronut5094 Месяц назад

@MozzySails oh nice. I'll have to make one myself. Got everything except the suction cup so that's perfect

Mini Finn

@johnandrews2853 Месяц назад

Very similar rig to the Finn, and listening to the Excellent Mozzy, he has clearly got into the class and gained a good understanding of it very quickly. I would say it took me a year to learn how to sail the Finn anything like properly! So different from the other classes he is well known for (skiffs, of several types).
