How to Win a Dinghy Handicap Race
Hi,
It's been a while, I hope everyone ( in the UK ) is safe from storm Eowyn!
It has taken me ages to upload anything, and that's all kinda my fault. But also there haven't been many windy days or events.
This is week 3 of the EDYC Icycle Series, we are currently overall leaders in the large dinghy handicap fleet but that can all change...
In the news?
Abbie and I are now proud owners of an RS200, which we hope to take to the UK nationals this year.
Hopefully there will be more videos coming out, I feel I'm setting the bar too high as everyone seems to not care when we win and do everything flawlessly, but enjoy my crew falling overboard.

Took the Fireball out for a blast and got a lot more wind than expected. So we made the best of it, in the most fireball way possible. Apologies for any colourful language aboard my boat....

I will admit this is a part 2 to my earlier video. The wind was so wildly different that the videos just didn't work together. Also means the 29er will get more screen time!

This is from over a month ago, I've been doing so much that I haven't had a chance to edit. Big breeze from the west made for a lively sail. Seems Abbie and I are always finding ourselves in stronger and stronger breeze.

After a shocking start and 2 turns we started the race. Light wind of less than 8knots gave a slow pace to the day. Hopefully you appreciate this video being a little slower - if you don't I can't do much about it sorry.

    managed to do that in early March in Boston.... it was around 30 farenghiet at the time (around -1 Celsius) was the first run of the season, and somewhat forgot how the boat handled it did not help that we got a few 40knot gusts out of nowhere. the first two we were running downwind, but on the third we were on Beam Reach... tried to do something but the rudder was out of the water before we could.

    During a regatta on our 3 person Dingy. Our helmsmen didn't want to duck under the boom during a gybe and of course he tripped and fell out the back. The Mainsail trimmer and I exchanged a look, shook the head and miraculously managed to keep control and recover the spinnaker. On the way back to him we discussed if we even want him back after that :D

    • @walowesk7122
      @walowesk7122 2 місяці тому

      I initially didn't turn the boat enough. Then, when I tried crossing the boat, I did not account for the tiller moving as I moved to cross. This made the boat spin back up into the wind and caused this funny capsize...

  • @hr8479

    Hey dude the best thing my coach ever told me is never to lead your turn eith your body weight as soon as you move your body in the boat heels over and u can’t steer so steer down first until the boat comes dangerously on top of you and then go across works in heavy air too just have to be a bit faster

    It's all coming back to me now! A day out on the water, a mistake, a capsize, cold, wet, ridicule from your fellow competitors, inexplicable cuts and bruises and then someone hands you a jam jar with a yacht club insignia on it if you experienced all of these things less than any of your fellow competitors! What a sport! Top marks to your mate in trying to keep it up. Top marks to you for sharing this with the rest of us so we can relive our memories, despite us all blatantly lying and saying that we wouldn't have done that. Keep it up and enjoy the sport.
