Listen to the sailors telling you in their mother language that they are here in Russia to fight for one of the last spots for the grand final in St. Moritz! Very slow winds and only five flights so far in St. Petersburg. But the battle for the last tickets is still on and the decision is only one day away. #WorldsBest #BattleForYourBurgee Current standings on scl2019-qualifier3.sapsailing.com

UPDATE 9/11/18 - just in from Boris Best from the upwind bouncing bam bam bam. All good here so far.Liebe grüße Tech talk: I had broken a lashing between the mast and the block for the mast rotation purchase. I left the mast rotation loose as upwind it aligns itself usually pretty nicely. This morning around 4 the boat was suddenly starting to act weirdly. I checked the wind angle display but i was upwind, although the boat was jumping over the waves and reaching at 2 knots. Heeled over a lot. I felt quickly that it was wrong with the wind instruments. I switched on the B system and find out that was broken. No surprise that the wind vane on the top of the mast was damaged after all the slamming. My heart beat rises imagining sailing the rest of the race with no instruments like in the TJV. It means a big penalty in performance. To figure out what was going on i swapped over some elements and could find that on my main system only the mast angle sensor had broken, possibly as a consequence of leaving the mast rotation open. I repaired the lashing, adjusted the mast to this upwind angle and gave the instruments a manuel input for mast angle instead of the sensor. That way my A system is now fully up and giving nice wind data again. A small issue but in the darkness and upwind - slamming is quite annoying. So happy now that i still have one functional wind vane at the top of the mast and can sail with autopilot following the wind angle… that helps a lot!

This short video is just to explain that there won't be the weekly release this week. I just need a little break to get some other things done. There were many reasons why, but the work stopped,... However, the work has re-started, thankfully, and I am on an exciting journey to finish Mistress and then go on my sailing adventures,... I hope that you can join along with me! https://www.youtube.com/user/bmwfreedom https://www.symistress.com https://www.paypal.me/symistress https://www.patreon.com/symistress bmwfreedom@gmail.com https://www.facebook.com/bruce.wilson.1481 Music thanks www.bensound.com Creative Minds
