Quest for Hayling Island! Episode 6 "Bring On TheTech"

In this new series of The Rogue Rigger I take you along on our campaign to go to the 5o5 World Championships in Hayling Island, England. The worlds start in July of 2026 so we have just a year and a half to go. Follow Mike and I on our journey to get to the world championships, from boat upgrades, practice days, regattas, debriefs and some shenanigans along the way. In this episode we take you onboard our 505 for a training session out of the Alameda Community Sailing Center on a beautiful October day. We got our hands on some new tech to try out on the boat, a Vakaros Atlas 2, Cyclops Marine Nano Load Cell and a new GoPro 13 with GPS. So now that we have this tech what do we do with it? Well you upload all the video and data onto Njord Analytics which enables you to sync up the data with the video so you can do some in depth training debriefs. This video is my first attempt at using the program so bear with me while I figure out the best way to share it with my viewers and get the info I need to sail faster. Good times!
