    Awesome video dude! I crew on a 60 foot classic in Jafaland. The A2 is the shouty sail and gybe is usually a 4 letter word with lots of colourful language :D

    If you add another strip down the side of the sock you'll be able to use the big kite that would add another three knots good video cheers Brian

    Well done Chris. Good recovery from your Jenny situation. Banga to the rescue eh! I'm probably going to have to rethink my haulout as the hard stand here looks like it's closing down.

    I never watched a genaker with a sock in action. Looks like easier to set short handed. I’m racing crew, learning the ropes. We usually hoist the spinnaker straight from bow hatch or from the bag on deck. Great recovery, stressful moment. Hope you didn’t damaged your genny. Great YT channel.love your content bro. Well done for your daily 50NM.great sailing achievement 🌿

    This exactly happened to us as well. In our case the weather changed very quickly with very strong gust. I had my 4 years old on the board and friends 5 year old. Scary…

    Was that someone throwing trash in the water behind you right before you went to clean the prop?
