No more NIVERNAIS into the Lateral Loire and Canal du CENTRE to tackle locks after a throttle failure - what a journey down through France - tyre slashed and rear ended! Cruising the French Roads and Canals. #shortvideo #sailing #travel

Yet another poor quality video of the homemade pneumatic cannon made out of a cheap air pump for using the own piston as it works like a one way valve. Thus, you don't need to leave a small clearance for air to leak and load the main chamber. The piston let's the air flow into it, but on the shooting phase it blocks it. It's the same that happens when you pull the handle of the airpump (air enters the cylinder) and then you push it (air is NOT released, but compressed). The target in this video is the back plate of a pringles can. At 3,5-4 atm as seen here it pierces it. At 6 it goes through. At 7,5 the rear cap explodes XD And no... I'm not in undies. It's a swimming pant (summer in Spain!!) XD So please focus on the ballistics and keep YOUR mating rituals for your friends and beloved ones. Another funny fact. The rear cap explossion propelled the main body against a furniture and the aluminum cannon BENT. So poor accuracy now, but back before the accident it was kinda good...like let's say hit an apple at 15 meters (yeah, I know but I didn't want to put my eye or face close to the gun, so it surely would have been better. To the naked eye, the BB looked like flying pretty straight) Thks4watching All likes reserved

Last week Slava and I visited Riga in Latvia to film Latitude Yachts amazing catamaran “LANIAKEA”. These guys really know what they are doing, having also successfully completed two very cool but very unusual 53m trimarans called “Galaxy” and “Galaxy of Happiness”…maybe you’ve seen them! It was a great opportunity to outline the process for constructing such an ambitious project!

The container coming through the course at the 1988 Olympics in Seoul meant that David Wilkins, and his crew James Wilkinson, had to tack out to the wrong side of the course. Their protest was rejected by the race committee.
