Paul356 Posted March 21 Report Share Posted March 21 I love this video from the Everglades Challenge. It shows you what a Core Sound can do. Credit John Hippe, who took it from our "buddy boat," the Sea Pearl 21 Nordic Breeze as we were heading upwind in the Gulf about 3 mi offshore. Thanks, Graham, for an amazing design. cb on the wind2.mp4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy B Posted March 21 Report Share Posted March 21 Great video. I really enjoyed watching some of my "internet friends" on the EC Cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Anderson Posted March 21 Report Share Posted March 21 Great video. I was pleased to see you in the Everglades Challenge. It was great fun to follow your progress and having real time photos and video made it even better. It would be interesting to hear more about your experience. I know it was a tough year with a lot of wind on the nose and even though the CS 17 sails well close hauled it gets tiring day after day. Congrats to you.

Paul356 Posted March 21 Author Report Share Posted March 21 Thanks, Joe. Still recovering, I must say. I'll try to jot out a little report when my head settles down. Good to hear from you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Jones Posted March 21 Report Share Posted March 21 good stuff. Looks like great fun, at least for the first few hours. Thanks for posting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reacher Posted March 24 Report Share Posted March 24 Paul, Good video. The boat has little heel, the sails are full, you are not fighting the gusts or luffing up, a steady hand on the tiller, both crew securely in the boat and charging along. Well done.

mattp Posted March 27 Report Share Posted March 27 Paul, it was great to meet you and your team of fellow Wisconsonites before the event. That video is a good representation of our experience. We figured we were close hauled 90% of the time and rowed the other 20%! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul356 Posted March 27 Author Report Share Posted March 27 I'll say -- Close hauled all the way. At least you two finished. Not sure where/how we lost our steam, but we had some great sails and an even better experience. Made it to Goodland and called it a week. I think about it every day. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattp Posted March 28 Report Share Posted March 28 There were moments every day that I wanted to quit. I hope you come back and give it another go. Every year that I have done this has been...well...challenging, but this year was the toughest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
