Videos

I a have very small and only slowly growing collection of videos of my boat. Instead of fiddling with including them here I refer you to my Yuotube channel.

What you find there is three plus one video. The oldest (Sept. 2006) and longest (12 min.) shows down-wind and close-hauled sailing on 16+ knots of wind in sheltered waters. The wind was gusty so there is spray and stuff. Down-wind we came close to 20 knots of boat speed and close-hauled we had up to 12 knots. The plus one video is a five minute version of the same material for those of you who are in a hurry.

Then there is a two minute video shot by a visiting friend. It is a pretty nice overview of the 'deck layout' in action. Very pleasant sailing in some 8 knots of wind on midsummer nights eve (ca. 8 pm) 2010. The main halyard clutch was slipping so the main is sagging.

Finally there is a stop-motion video of me and two friends taking the boat apart and loading it on its trailer in October 2010.

Equipment for 2006 video

A 'bullet-cam' (seen to the right) fed a digital video camera via an interface board that processed data from a GPS to create the text overlay. The digital video camera, the interface board and batteries were protected from the elements by a watertight plastic bag.
