Season 2 - First Shakedown Sail in windy conditions

1,768 Bekeken· 27/07/22

So a lot going on in this video. Firstly this is the first sail this season, so it's a good shakedown sail for Mochyn Du. I'm all alone today in really windy conditions, blowing a steady Force 4 all morning, which gets a bit gusty too. I'm not going to lie, it was a nervous start, especially in this weather!! But it didn't take long for all the sailing spider senses to come back and it wasn't long before I was showing off my skills!! I used my new GoPro 360 VR camera for this post, so you can see I can change the position of the camera. I'd be really grateful for any feedback you have on this and whether it should be used going forward. Sorry for the bad lens. I forgot my Rain-ex on this camera!!! 00:00 Assessing the lake and weather 02:15 A rainy start and a new camera 03:35 Launching in high winds 05:10 Relaxed sailing!! 07:11 Waves are building 07:45 First Tack of the season! 09:00 Why the Daggerboard is 1/3rd up 09:40 Leaning out! 10:17 Tacking in front of everyone! 12:09 Getting gusty and controlling the boat 13:48 First Gybe of the season! 14:43 Reaching in decent waves 15:08 Trimming the mainsail 16:26 Boatspeed is on 18:16 First "Heave-to" of the season 20:30 Running all the way home 22:12 Wind leaves, the sun comes out! 22:41 Landing the boat on a Lee Shore 25:32 Getting caught up in lines!! 26:32 My trolley floats!!! 27:40 Hauling teh boat out
