Supernova National Championships 2024 - Race 2
After a ballistic start to the championships on day one, day two dawned with a little less breeze and much easier conditions for the fleet to handle.

The first event of 2024 was a chilly slog around the Exe estuary. The first lap was a tight battle with the local 400s before traffic got in the way, possibly a how-not-to race a pursuit! @vaikobi @RS400ClassAssociation www.vaikobi.com

Race one of the RS400 Summer championships. A gorgeous weekend in Hayling, blue skies and steady breeze all weekend. The first race kicks of in a 8-10 southerly with fair bit of nasty chop around, watch as we power away from the start and look to build a lead around the course. @vaikobi @RS400ClassAssociation www.vaikobi.com

It would have been a lot better if you had left the comments up longer, so that I didn't need to stop the action all the time.
👍
Great footage and commentary - it looks so tame but even on day 2 those were decent waves!
Can you leave the text up for a bit longer, can’t read it all
I'll make changes for the next one!
You did more than the one obligatory gybe downwind. I did one, survived it and didn't want to tempt fate trying another 😀
Great vid Sam, thanks for sharing, your notes throughout explaining what and why you stuff is of enormous value to the likes of mere mortals such as Me. The last race on Sunday I followed you from the start (boat to leeward of you at the gate) and just sailing, watching and learning from you was a Masterclass in itself……next time let me just stay with you to the windward please 😂
I'm still miffed that they canned the other 2 races that day! Perfect sea conditions...perhaps some blue sky would have helped. Anyway, great sailing Sam & a well deserved, additional, national championship!
That's amazing through my meta quest headset
Brilliant video Sam, I’m new to the class and learned loads
Great to hear!
Great video Sam, captures a lot of the challenge of sailing at SYC... from a local member!
Like your coverage Sam but could you keep your graphics up a little longer, I can’t read that fast 😉
Noted!
Great video tight racing, thought I could add my side of the commentary. I only have to stay in front of Sam/Mat to win event so looking to keep a close cover on them. 3.34. i fake luff Alex for water, making him go in tight out wide from the mark given me a clearer lane inside him at the start of the beat. 4.22. Stay on port until Sam tacks, tack with him so I can loose cover 5.27. Short beat, so race to the layline so he has to follow me in, giving him no overtake lane 6.04. Overtaking Alex is not all that helpful as he will cover me on the next run 6.20. Stay on port for a bit to keep clear of Alex knowing I can gybe back if needed 6.38 Sam sails low then gybes in a gust so gybe to match. I’m now between him and mark, leeward boat and on stb so have all the rights. 6.40 Head up slightly to close the gap, it slower but safest play for me here. If I’m close he can’t gybe back at me 6.58. He looks like he might roll me so a sharp luff making sure I hold him outside the mark zone. 7.05. Time the gybe back so he has to follow me in no chance of water or late overlap 7.24 no big gusts coming on the reach so Go low early to make sure the only overtake lane is to windward so I can luff if I need to Shorten course so keep it clean to the finish. Short course racing like this is great for tactical decision making
Some great insight there Cliff, thank you!
Just watching this gives me butterflies and reminds me when I go out. Great job out there,
No sound
I haven't added any, this is purely for those wanting to compare the sails!
Well observed.
Great video Sam, thanks for sharing. Gives us lower down the fleet notes on how to improve. On the commentary text, after rounding the windward mark you say: "Powering up the rig", how do you do that? My routine is to pull the mast back up straight, losen of a bit of outhall, let the cunningham/downall off and let some kicker off too!
Hi Duncan, that's pretty much it! Rig goes hard upright, Cunningham and outhaul off and kicker eased to about 60-50%
great last leg was, epic downwind
What mount do you use on the tiller to get it higher?
A bike handlebar grip and a small extension bar.
🔥 thumbnail
Thanks for the photos @wrussell!
Great video! What camera do you use? I wonder how you change the camera angle and if you can also look at your leech. Keep up the good work
Thanks! I use a gopro max, it's a 360 camera so it can look anywhere I want!
I love the commentary on the strategy. Great race.
Quality sam 🎉
I need one of these cameras Sam. 😮
Can I ask what weight you are as a crew? And would you always sail with that much outhaul off in the light?
We're probably around 165kg all up at this event. At with the breeze as it was, we're searching for max power without having to worry about stalling the flow through the sails, as there is just enough pressure to maintain it. So yes, we'd keep the outhaul pretty loose.
Keep them comming always nice to see how the guys at the pointy end of the fleet do it
Looks fun. I am the new owner of number 982, how do you have your spinnaker setup? Mine goes around the back of the boat but I can't see that on yours. Never had a boat with a spinnaker before and none at my club to look at?
Hi Dave! Welcome to the class. Our halyard runs straight from the uphaul block to the downhaul, so it's all contained in the crew area. Ill take a picture when I get a chance
Beautiful..... Is that a lake ?
Just got a 360 cam, keen to know how you mount it to the boom?
I've got a wrist strap that velcro's around the boom, holds it pretty steady
Красавчики
Do you sail with daggerboard partially raised upwind in most conditions?
Anything in medium winds upward I would, in light winds I tend to have it all the way down
why have you got your kicker on so tight. if you let it off the power would be harnessed better through the gybes
