Brent Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 Here is a video from a recent sailing on Chesapeake Bay. Those of you who like speed may enjoy this. [ftp][/ftp] Quote
Joe Anderson Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 Looks like you are moving along Brent. Nice wind noise. What kind of knots are you making. No reefs. What kind of wind speed have you got. The boat looks pretty flat are you solo? Quote
Brent Posted May 13, 2009 Author Posted May 13, 2009 Joe, This video was taken in a fresh breeze with 3-4 foot seas, there are plenty of white caps about. Those conditions suggest maybe 15 knots of wind. I am sailing solo with one hand on the tiller and one on the camera. I dont make any effort to measure speed these days. Quote
Ken_Potts Posted May 13, 2009 Posted May 13, 2009 In my learned opinion based on the state of the sea, the look of the sky and the motion of the boat I'd place the boat speed somewhere between WOO HOO! and YEE HAA! That looks like a fun day on the water - Thanks for sharing. I love the feeling when the boat stands up on the crest of a wave and takes off ;D Quote
