- Some short clips of this magnificent 80" J class yacht on the water with two 60" little sisters at Watermead lake Aylesebury. Alan Horne gave me a bit of history: "Charles's (80') boat is plank on frame built by him I think in the 1980s. He acquired a set of plans for a smaller model and scaled them up, it's a nice piece of work.
A scale J doesn't work on the water so he's lowered the C of G by adding a drop keel made from 6mm solid brass and lead.
He's tried to be as faithful as possible to the original so he's used running backstays and quadralateral jibs. It's a complex set up using lots of hitec winches but it looks good on the water!"
Wundervolle und wunderschöne Boote. Danke für`s Zeigen. Gruße aus Deutschland
Wonderful video. Really loved the Chase Boat video, too. Great addition. I'm just a little disappointed that you didn't splice in some drone video. That would have completed the coverage in professional sportscaster style!
