This video was taken by a friend as we're approaching a favorite bay. We're reaching down the wind, so our boards are up to reduce drag. This is our prototype Split Junk Rig (SJR), an innovation by Slieve McGalliard. Camber and set are adjustable via lacings along top and bottom of each panel. Later, we sewed the final sail to match. The mizzen (aft) sail stays flat for decisive maneuvering and quiet weather-cocking.

Our guidebook warned of very strong currents that make this crossing difficult in a low horsepower vessel. Turned out to be fine but when looking back at the GPS we did go at about a 30 degree angle

================================ Welcome to the best week of your life! This is The Yacht Week – an adventure like no other. Explore stunning oceans and islands aboard your very own yacht – with your best mates and hundreds of other beautiful like-minded explorers in convoy. You’ll have your own skipper and the freedom to map your own path for seven days through spectacular beaches, deserted islands and incredible parties. Back in 2006, we were just a bunch of uni friends who wanted to go sailing and explore far and wide. Today, we’re still that same bunch of friends, only now there are 70,000 of us. And our loving family just keeps getting bigger. We have forged a community from adventurous spirits, vast open waters, and a host of musicians, collaborators, sailors and revellers. https://www.theyachtweek.com/ https://www.facebook.com/theyachtweek https://www.instagram.com/theyachtweek/ https://twitter.com/theyachtweek https://www.linkedin.com/company/day8/
