two videos

don't watch them
i don't watch yours
moth videos are now boring

me trying to gybe
and me failing into into the poontoon
and nick failing fend me from the poontoon
and nick failing to film me crashing into the poontoon




n4rkla sailing a bit


lots of training recently

one interesting mod, in these videos we have removed the shockcord that self-centres the rudders. the boat is much more vibrant to sail without the shockchord. it is easier to sail thru the maneuvers too. Alan mentioned that the fast australians are going back to shockcord on the rudders to help them fack. even so i think it will be a while before i put it back on

worth noting that the boat crashed with a very loud bang (1:35 in first vid), but there is not a sign of damage. i didn't even bring it back to shore afterwards.

  1. Cool looking boat. Looks like the wand doessn't come far enough fwd/flap doesn't come up enough - something wacky there. Maybe a bit more angle of attack on everything to take off a bit easier.
