Spinnaker reaching start - Express 27 fleet - Great Vallejo Race 2024 Day 2
Переглядів 9336 місяців тому
Day 2 of the Great Vallejo Race, starting in Vallejo and headed back to Richmond. A strong flood current was pushing us back from the starting line with light wind coming across our beam, perfect for a spinnaker start. Our plan was to hoist right after the start so we could stay maneuverable heading into the start and be close to the line on time. Most of the fleet decided to hang back and get ...

Gusty stormy rainy conditions for the start on the Berkeley Circle had the fleet split between jibs and genoas. Genoas ultimately prevailed once things settled down but we had a bit of trouble tacking ours at the windward mark and lost a place right away. Proof that a good start matters even in a long distance race: 4 hours later, the six boats in our fleet crossed the line in exactly the same ...

Gotta hang a left just before the Carquinez Bridge. Wind and waves were building behind us all the way across San Pablo Bay as the rain finally cleared up. We were flying at about 10-12kts down each wave as they stacked up high against the 2kts of current.
Beer can racing near miss, exciting port/starboard crossing - Berkeley Friday Night April 19th, 2024
Переглядів 15 тис.6 місяців тому
Very close call in a friendly Friday night race! The driver of the Olson 25 later said he didn't see us at all until we hailed "starboard," which probably spooked him into making a poorly considered crash tack that almost brought both our rigs down. But no contact, no problem! Another exciting night in the Berkeley Circle.

Sometimes you don't know how it's going to go until you just go for it. Not our most elegant maneuver but I was just relieved to see the mast and boom in tact on the other side. I think we hit our top boat speed right after this, somewhere around 14.5kts.

Rounding Southeast Farallon Island in 25kt of wind and some gnarly seas. We're reefed down and have our smallest #4 jib up and still flying at 12kts through the water. Excellent sailing conditions! Getting back home was much more of a slog. The boat is a 1982 Express 27 hull #2 named “glitch”

Friday night beer can race in Berkeley. Rainy and windy, getting dark. Coming in at 10 kts reaching with the spinnaker. Winding between the breakwater rocks. First boat across the line. A gust and a shift and then... with everyone at the yacht club bar watching, a perfect time to crash!

Great video. Not sure about shouting "up up" when you are clear astern and have no overlap.
Nice. Richmond? Must be, the way everyone is piled up at the pin to go for the left side of the course.
Wrong jibs up…
I love fall sailing! Good job squeezing in at the pin. Here we are on Sailing Team Tally Ho doing 17+ knots on a J70. ua-cam.com/users/shortsnVLHevwhevI?si=A2WJGlaOyawwIiF7
Cool footage, thanks for sharing
Nice. You were even faster than this MSC container giant and they are fast.
Loving your videos, I'm about to be an E27 owner what advice might you have? I've already learned a lot used to watch those same boats race 15 years ago when I lived in the Bay.
@@tehBleuRiot Welcome to the fleet! Which boat are you buying? Email me at my name at gmail and I’m happy to share what I know
Looks like a Laser in those conditions. Hard to keep upright.
good job in avoiding the crash.
Hated having any responsibility on the helm other than driving/observing. Hard enough staying in the slot. Of course, it could simply be the excuse I needed to buy a bigger boat!
That slam dunk tack didnt seem to 1:34 work out too well for the other boat to windward that did it
All the space and time to avoid each other and you still almost hit each other. Personally, whether I am give way or stand on vessel I always take responsibility to maintain separation so that I don't get into those situations. There is a simple rule to figure out if you are on a collision course with another vessel -- if the relative bearing isn't changing and you maintain course and speed and the other vessel maintains course and speed you will hit each other. If you are still quite far away you just want to alter your course a bit so that the relative bearing starts changing.
lolol fk wits in all their (weekend) glory...
LOVE IT MISS IT
Thou shalt not protest a beercan race. Or ye be a deck head.
Well done jibe in challenging conditions.
It's difficult to make the right decision when you cannot see everything going on around you, the video is proof of that, personally I would have tried to get above 'Current Affair' before increasing sail area.
Wow. Terrible tack. Sorry for negative vibes but why would you post this?
No spinnaker? 😅
Very nice run and well done for the well controlled gybe at high speed while passing the port boat!
Nice to see an Express 27 out on the water.
Try having crew move further aft & ease vang a bit more to depower main and keep boom out of water. Timothy’s comments good also, just adding some other details. The joy of sailing there is always something to do and can always improve things. Practice is essential and experience priceless. ENJOY!
Racing Rules of Sailing n°14 before n°10!! :)
This makes me remember my Olson 25. Best boat ever!
Nice🎉
Flag is coming out.
the crew on the halyard probably was not instructed beforehand about popping the halyard
great composure!
In a minute.
I don't reckon that the skipper of the Olson was lying when he said that he didn't see you. Good racing, anyway. Thanks for the upload.
I used to race these beercans sometimes. Seemed close calls like this happened regularly.
that's pretty typical for a Wednesday night.
What camera is used? Is this some kind of drone?
Glitch did well to avoid a collision, the other boat tacked too close and dead ahead of her. And then messed up the tack, but that is a secondary. If I were helming Glitch I would probably have tried to get above the other boat given both were so close and the other not above Glitch (see 0:30) and dead in the water after the tack.
Well played by Glitch. Sam let the main out to duck. Collision avoided. And good to see Glitch with a full crew on the rail!
That’s one way to “win” a cross😅
Did you make him do turns?
I am wondering the answer to this as well
What speed are you doing here?
Surfing at a sustained 12-14kts. Peak GPS speed I recorded was 17kts!
You will find it much easier to gybe in heavy air if you are surfing fast down a wave. The faster you are going the less pressure there is in the sails.
I would have probably "chicken gybed" by tacking in this situation unless i completely trusted my rig. Nice day to sail!
Me too
I'd rather lose a couple of boatlengths than risking the rig.
@@limosalimosa Me too. Having a dismasting that far out to sea by the 'needles' would not be worth the risk
Good send. Your jibe was a bit cleaner than mine. I was out there too.
Awesome! What camera/ control are you using to pan & zoom remotely?
It’s an Insta360 x3. Records a full 360° sphere of video and then I can pan/zoom after the fact when back on dry land. I’ll make a video showing my setup soon since a lot of people ask.
To avoid broaching out of the gybe (which you did, though the recovery was quick),the boom needs to cross earlier and the boat needs to exit the gybe at a much deeper angle. At the point where the boom starts crossing in the video you're already too high on the new gybe and it's inevitable that the boat will broach. A few ideas: 1. The mainsheet needs to come in much more at the start of the gybe. This will make the boom come across at a deeper angle. Just be ready to dump the sheet out as soon as the boom crosses. I'd imagine the load is such that the sheet needs to be taken in through the blocks instead of by pulling the entire mainsheet system across. 2. The gybe was timed a bit late on the wave. It looks like you caught a wave and reached the best speed on that wave at around 0:11. That would have been the best spot to toss the boom across. 3. Use less rudder to bear away and more rudder to stop the turn. You want to keep the rate of rotation down, especially at the moment where the boom starts crossing. 4.A well executed gybe in big breeze should only be a 30deg turn maximum. If done well you can avoid the broach with a big pull on the tiller (to bear off on the new gybe) right as (or even just before) the boom starts crossing. Basically you want some rotational inertia turning back downwind to counter that of the boom and mainsail. I'd consider having the crew be the one to pull the mainsheet in and get the boom across in heavy air. That way the skipper can focus on driving and exiting the gybe with the mast pointed up. The jib can be presheeted.
Good tips! Sea state was quite mixed and made it hard to put the theory into practice but good ideas to try next time we’re out there.
Good advice. I would hope in that situation I'd think of all that, but in the moment . . . who knows?
regarding 1 ) I was taught the standard process to jibe is to pull in mainsheet all the way to center the boom first, and only when wind is very light (< 15, so relative apparent wind is < 10 ), can you directly pull over the boom. But in that heavy wind (30true, 20 relative wind), I found it way too hard to pull in the main sheet, and even if you could pull it in , the time staying in a sheeted in mail causes heavier pressure on the main and forces the boat to round up. so it's very difficult either way. this is especially difficult on a bigger boat. they managed to pull over the boom on a 27ft.
@@yangyang3175 Agreed. That type of jibe can break stuff. Thankfully the water slowed it down. 🤣
Can you be more specific 😂😂😂😂 just kidding 😂😂😂
That almost looks like fun.
That almost looks like fun.
Holy Cow Batman! Was that intentional or an ‘Asian Jibe’?
The jibe was intentional. Had to turn back around the islands some time to head home. The broach was not!
Socal sailors take note....
Hard on rigging. This video we’ll give you some pointers on controlling heavy weather gybes www.google.com/gasearch?q=heavy%20weather%20sailing%20video%20liz%20baylis&source=sh/x/gs/m2/5#fpstate=ive&vld=cid:84eba9e5,vid:79HngieLG24,st:0
Exceeding hull speed!
Definitely! You can hear the boat hum as we get up on a plane at 12-13kts
lol. Glad nothing broke.
Woo-hoo! did you consider doing a granny?
