Love the aerial of the start and the race. Whole different view than the go pro on the stern. What brand sails are you using.
Fun!
Very heavy! Big boys league😗guys musceling up through the fleet🤩🥸
Looks fun my friend. Do you just depend on the wind to take you places? Thanks my friend. Liked and subbed. Stay safe and connected!
Great video, I really was missing a perfect sailing day. Loved the hype music in a Thistle video too!
These are awesome thanks for posting them!
are you from ballard, washington? I recognize the registration sticker and the logo on the mainsail.
No life west.
Good headsail choice with that wind. Corpus can dish it out.
main is too far out against the rigging downwind losing a lot of power there.
Not much choice in these boats.
Great video! Lot of fun to watch the action close up. I am curious though about jib trim? I’ve sailed on Farr 40s and smaller keelboats, and we were always told to not go full trim immediately after the tack. Granted the wind + sea state is very rough, I’m curious if you felt like you lost more distance & speed on the tack than you anticipated?
In the tacks, we would get the jib in as far as we could, and then the skipper grinds it in as soon as they are done with the traveler. It's a tinny jib, but we did play it with the wind. Tacks were fast and we would go to 1/2 speed, but we got back up to speed quickly. 5.6-5.8 speed upwind. We hit 12-13 downwind. We use a velocitek prostart so not sure if that's mph or knots.
@@sailingandstuff4029 Wow you were cooking it downwind.. Even upwind too! I haven’t sailed J/24s before, so there’s always something to learn 😅 thank you!! Happy sailing!
Nice video! Thanks for sharing your technique! from other videos of that race, the wind looked intense! Good job done by your crew! Fun to watch! I race and teach J24 in Madison, WI and I was wondering why you pull the main aft while sailing downwind. Looks cool when you and sheet trimmer do that in sync!
Hi Dawn, It was gusting 35 knots and water was coming over the bow down the waves so we loaded the aft to help keep the bow up.
I want to join a crew to learn, I'm a local in CC.
Great to watch you sailing guys. Interesting to see the circumstances in CC. Some of my Swedish clubmates were there. They are not very experienced but they learnt a lot.
I believe I have a few photos of you all from the sailing championship in Corpus Christi Tx
Thats great, can you send them to me at loewy.dogg@gmail.com
Nice.video , I noticed that you do not play your back stay much .is it maxed out ?
Yeah, we wanted to depower as much as possible in the gusts. The skipper is busy playing main, traveler, backstay, jib grinding, and tiller.
Any reason you all do not have the middle crew play those things.
@@camdensimon1935 I have watched a few of these videos and the skipper does a lot of the heavy lifting. The trimmer should be actively trimming the jib sheets, but cleats it them down and sits on the rail. Cleating the sheets makes it hard for the driver to get flow over the main sometimes. I get it though--you need those lbs on the rail in this wind!
Wow - that was a sudden crash gybe @40:50, great recovery! Lost hat?
yeah, that was fun, one or two lost hats. We noticed a few hats from other boats floating around and one nice sailing watch. Big yellow Ronstan clearstart.
Yeah, I was surprised how deep you all were sailing downwind, any reason you were sailing that deep of an angle in those waves? Looks like fun….wish I was there!!!!
@@camdensimon1935 .. Yes. Looks like they were cough by a wave throwing them too low. A chin strap on your hat is a good idea.
