Ep.26. ARC 2019. Experiments under sail.

How to improve downwind speed in a catamaran during ARC 2019? This video shows clips of our Atlantic crossing and experiments on different sail configurations. With the sails that we had on board, we try wing-on-wing in various configurations. We also show sail repairs and repairs to chaffed ropes as we head towards St Lucia from the Canary Islands. Much of this video was edited while we were at sea during the crossing. I mention at the end that I mostly make the videos for my mother and father who enjoy them so much. I dedicate it to my mother who passed away during our crossing, and to my father who supported her with tender care. The last video of the second week of our crossing is still to come. WE MAKE OUR VIDEOS PUBLIC TO SHARE OUR ENJOYMENT OF OUR OCEAN WORLD. If you enjoyed this video please subscribe and consider making a TAX-DEDUCTABLE DONATION to THE CURE ALLIANCE https://www.thecurealliance.org/donate/ . This NOT FOR PROFIT foundation is working to find a cure to vascular lesions in the brain, called CCMs (for cerebral cavernous malformations). About 1 in 500 of us have a silent CCM lesion in our brain. CCMs may unexpectedly bleed and may cause stroke or seizure. People with the genetic form of the disease have multiple lesions. Your contribution will help find a cure. Lisa has dedicated her career to finding cures for neurological diseases and would greatly appreciate any level of support from our BioTrek-sailing audience.
