Part 1 - Introduction / Spinnaker

Join professional sailor "Macca" (Andrew MacPherson) and super-crew "Fergie" (Ferdinand Van West) for this on-the-beach review of their boat setup for the 2010 North American F18 Championship in Racine, Wisconsin. In this one hour video, Macca and Fergie review their boat from bow to stern covering setup of their spinnaker, jib, mast, trap lines, boards, mainsheet and even footstraps. As an added bonus, Fergie reviews his technique for trapping out on tacks, jibes and mark roundings. While Nacra Infusion setup specific, these tips translate to any modern catamaran. Not only does this informative and often humorous video offer a large number of boat setup and tuning tips, but also provides discussion on optimum settings for the various points of sail. This video provides significant value to any catamaran sailor looking to get the most from their sailing experience.
