Very nice job Dave and Joel! I really appreciate your filming, editing, and sharing your races. It looked like you were in maybe 4th or 5th at the weather and leeward marks. And looks like you were genius going left, but the leeward mark rounding forced the tack to starboard that got you started heading that way. Notice that 5457 who was inside of you at the leeward mark ended up way back. Also, it seems David Ames, who finished 4th, was 5 boats behind you at the leeward mark, so he had an equally good last leg as well.
Yes Paul. Good summary. My poor leeward mark rounding forced the tack to port back through the spinnakers which is usually death. However, it was definitely favored to go left on that last upwind leg. Tyler was pretty far back and rounded the opposite gate, went left and finished 3rd.
Nice. Do you like the ring that connects the mainsheet block to the rudder? Does it foul much (like mine)? How does the camera appear to rotate to another view angle? Your tacking seems especially fluid with little loss of speed. Nice work. Which club do you sail at?
Yes, I love the ring on the mainsheet block. It's simple and works fairly well. On a gybe, you have to remember to give the mainsheet a little tug so that the block flips from side-to-side. The camera is a GOPRO 360. When I convert the 360 video to a regular video I get to pick the angle. I race mostly out of Lake Norman Yacht club, but also out of Lake Eustis Sailing Club
Nice win!
