Looking good, but you dont seem to point quite as high as the other boats. That lee shroud gets very slack ( dont know enough about the Feva to know if this is normal) which would indicate a lot of mast bend, bit more length in the spreaders? Possibly a touch more rake as well..??
There's no way to adjust the rake unfortunately. We were using quite a high power setting as we are fairly heavy for the boat. I wonder did the rig tension loosen off allowing the mast to bend to leeward? It'd be the most likely answer i'd come up with. Would explain the loose shroud and the bad pointing. Definitely something to note - thanks for that
That's a good point. In medium wind I'd see it as a viable option. But in heavy wind, we make much more use of having crew weight out propelling the boat forward. But for when we are in the boat a bailer would definitely come in useful.
Don’t stop uploading I love your vids!❤❤❤❤
W upload as always, your sailing content is so awesome❤

... With a beautifully ripped spinnaker aswell😅
What? No bailers? Too much water in the cockpit? Lots of extra weight.
