J24 sailing in Charleston Harbor
Quick video- well, maybe not so quick... at 1.4 gb and 13+ minutes... it's boring, but it's just my sweetie and I goofing around in the harbor. You can hear music in the background- it sounds way better on the boat, and the video quality isn't the greatest, but for a $200 camera-- not bad! Besides drinking a beer, we're actually testing a new jib to see how well tuned it is with respect to the jib leads. It turns out, that in the usual positions, it's perfect. All telltales break evenly in the conditions typical of the harbor, and at the position the lead car was at... Hopefully, we won't have a repeat of our Raceweek fiasco (the old jib was a bit blown out of shape), and will be able to point better when the wind pipes up and we're forced to use the "blade" to keep the boat flat.
