Hi Mike, another great video, however the wind over the microphone made it very difficult to hear you. When we did the Arc in 2013 on a Moody46 we also had mostly downwind sailing with 35 knots of apparent wind. The wind vane had cords operating the the wheel across the cockpit & seemed to cope very well for the 22 days across the Atlantic. We had 4 reefs in the main & a very small amount of Genoa poled out. We turned the engine on to boost the batteries in the evening for washing up & also so that we had enough battery for the navigation lights. Cheers.
Dear Mike, Any chance that you could get a furry mike that reduces the wind noise? It is difficult to make out your wise words whilst you are at sea! Best, D.
@@danielcarter5178 Hi Daniel, good news is I now have a microphone that will suppress wind noise. The not so good news is I have only just purchased it so there will be a few more videos with a bit of background noise; my apologies.
Could have watched the waves and boat sailing all day
Very enjoyable vid thanks. She's handling those conditions well. A swing around of the camera to see the sails would be good.
