Did we actually take our boat jogging? - Sailing Mist Ep 12

Our quest towards The Fastnet 2025 continues! In this episode we undertake our longest race ever on Mist. The Junior Offshore Group's (JOG) race weekend consisting of a course from Cowes to the Easterm Solent, turning around, passing Cowes and finishing at Yarmouth in the Deep Western Solent on day 1 was an exciting ride culminating in a long downwind spinnaker ride along the mainland shore. We were placing well until the spinnaker halyard was snagged when we went to drop on a tight reach, seeing us scoot off downwind and having to beat against a rapid ebbing tide to the leeward mark. Such is life. Our video sees us undertake the return race from Yarmouth back to Cowes, with a short hitch out of the Central Solent before another spinnaker finish. Two things to be taken from this trip: 1) We do not understand our sail wardrobe and what works best for Mist 2) We need a better microphone to cope with noise reduction in a breeze. Hope you enjoy the video as much as we did making it. #sailing #boating #yacht As ever, please comment on what you see fit.
