Sailing on Buzzards Bay

[AdriftAtSea]

I just got a chance to play with the video my friend shot at the end of last season.  I've posted the video up on YouTube.com and thought you guys would like to see it.  The video was taken on the last sail of last season, on October 7, 2006, on Buzzards Bay.

I also found another video of a sister boat that I was out sailing on back in April of last year. This video is by Will, one of the people who works for the manufacturer of the boat.  You can see that video at this link.

My boat, in the first video, has the standard mast and dacron sails.  Hull #321, in the second video, has the taller mast and laminate sails.  The mast is two feet taller and the boom is six-inches lower, giving it a good deal more mainsail area.

Enjoy.

Very Nice!   

I'm a hat guy though, bummer!   :o)

I can't wait to get back out there.

Actually, the loss of that particular hat was way overdue... it had fallen off his head at least three other times earlier in the season... in one case it got caught on the partially kicked up rudder, in another it landed on the netting of the ama, and in the third, it blew off into the cabin... so I'm not surprised Dave finally lost his hat...

I normally wear a Tilley hat when I'm out...but didn't have it on that particular sail, since it wasn't really sunny enough to need it. I am wearing it in the second video, that was down on the Chesapeake.
