That kid who decided to stand on both boats really improved the video with that idea. Definitly adding on to the spirit of having fun with those boats:)
What fun! How skilfully you all play! You folk had me chuckling and laughing so much. And you are all so competent.. Your boats are your gloves. A big thanks for the sharing. Thumbs up!
Hey it's all bout having fun! otherwise why bother? 😁 Nice to see you guys are back in the water btw! Lovely boat! Maybe some day I'll get a blue water cruiser and sail around the world!😎
So fantastic! Especially now that our winter season is already starting, it's great to see the fun of sailing boats. Thank you Teo for another great video!
Hi! It all depends on which tack I'm sailing IMHO, have a look at this video I made about exactly that! 😉 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-i7Frmj6Hsnk.html
@@TheBoatRambler There are so many choices in plans. Would you build the same plan again or another one if you wanted the same size boat to replace that one?
Hi, there's a boat I almost built and I believe it's the one I could build next...the OZ Goose. Probably the most versatile and stable boat, imho, and perfect for my needs.
Nice vibe. Thx for sharing. Do you raise and lower the GIS rudder according to the conditions? Looks like there is a lot of rudder above the tiller connection point in these shots. Also, do you use a 360 camera? /Paul
Thanks Paul! These guys are the most relaxed stress free sailing buddies ever! 😎 As for the rudder question, from just a few degrees further than a beam reach to full running I will start lifting the daggerboard and rudder depending on conditions. In really light wind (and close to full running) I will leave just enough rudder to steer the boat slowly... there is no lift and all the foils are just creating drag more than anything else! Have a look at 10:25 , I had been experimenting a few things with the rig and look how far they both pulled away. You can then see me getting up and lifting the rudder almost all the way up. That together with heeling the boat to leeward allowed me to get close to them again. Regarding the 360 camera...soon! 😉
Thank Poseidon for that!! 😁 I have used them once on the night I returned from Rat Island. It didn't go that well as I had not tried them before and the oars were crossing way too much. Had to row with those locator thinghies on the wrong side of the oarlocks. 😅
We used to ram boats for fun as kids. Too bad yours are too nice for that. Or jump on the end of the boom as you pass by to capsize the other boat. Or drench the other crew with bailers.
Hi Dion! When running I often lift the daggerboard almost fully to reduce drag as no lift is achieved by it on that point of sail. On low winds I even lift the rudder half way up too, for the same reason.
