🇬🇧My first REGATTA!🤩 I had the opportunity to come along on the Mare, my neighbours' boat. I wanted to experience the spirit and how it works on the water with so many boats. I saw, did, learned and felt a lot (changes and temperature, wind and what it does). It was great! I WANT MORE!😍 🇳🇱Mijn eerste REGATTA!🤩 Ik mocht mee op de Mare, de boot van mijn buren. Ik wilde dit een keer meemaken hoe het sfeertje en hoe het op het water is. Veel gezien , gedaan, geleerd en gevoeld ( verandering en temperatuur wind en wat het dan doet) Wat was dit te gek zeg! IK WIL WEER!😍
Evinride, Yamaha, and Mercury had outboard joystick control systems in the water at Miami, on display to the public for the first time. From media intros held months ago, we've previously reported on the Yamaha Helm Master and Mercury Verado joystick controls, and a collaboration between SeaStar (formerly Teleflex) and BRP/Evinrude was news that broke just before the show. In the short time that we are allowed to spend with these steering systems it's really impossible to determine how each will work in the variety of situations an owner may encounter, but so far I have yet to pilot a joystick-equipped boat that just didn't respond to input. One fact that eveyone needs to keep in mind is that the ultimate performance of the joystick control is very much dependent on the boat -- the hull shape and weight, the location of the center of gravity, the spacing of the outboards, how it's propped, and how many outboards are on the transom. These systems need to be dialed in for each boat. And at the Yamaha Helm Master intro I was told point-blank that its joystick control may not be a good match for every boat. When Yamaha does not feel the Helm Master will work well on a certain hull, it won't permit the builder to install it. If joysticks for outboards become popular, expect to see builders designing new boats specifically to work well in joystick mode, by optimizing the boat's center of gravity and by spreading the motors as far as possible on the transom. Both are key to joystick performance. Also look for builders to design the helm area to include a dedicated mounting location that puts the joystick in a good ergonomic position.
Use three points touching something at all times. Two hands and a foot or 2 feet and a hand or a butt cheek, a hand and a foot. Whatever make sure three things are touching - note that two butt cheeks only count as one butt cheek. These guys did pretty well, but there still could be some improvement. Still it was fun.
