looks like a good day for a 60% storm jib and a double reefed main. the exciting days usually don't have good video or photo evidence as the crew is busy sailing the boat and having fun! thanks for sharing the video. i leave for a three day trip in the morning. :: Dave Scobie :: M17 375 - SWEET PEA - www.m17-375.webs.com :: Sage Marine - www.sagemarine.us (or .com, or .net, or .org) --- On Thu, 4/28/11, Earl Landers <elanders@bak.rr.com> wrote:
Hi All,
Yesterday we found some wind. The last two times we took our boat out, there was no wind, not today. At the link is a short video of what it was like.
373 at Play <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hKcy3oPP9G0>
At this point we had stowed the headsail and reefed the main. The wind was still building. Shortly after this video, steering and sheeting became full time jobs. No more vid's.
After about 3 hours of this kind of pounding, we called it a day. After this, I have a lot more faith in the repairs to the bottom J
