Hey Patrick. Good to see your post. I wondered if you were lost at sea. Given that the videos from your Iceland adventure stopped with your passage to Norway, I was hoping you made it home in good stead. Very good to know you made it back okay. Cheers.
Oh, to hit the line in my old 1/4_Tnner. Miss that boat. Wishing you much success. Before the 1/4-Tonner, I built and raced a T-Bird. Later I rebuilt/restored a 5-1/2_ Meter built in 1919. Galatea, a classic beauty.
I'm envious! If I were 40 years younger, then I would try to sail with the mini transat. But being in my late sixties I sail out with an Allegro 27. Offshore sailing with small boats is so rewarding! But I have a question: wouldn't an oldfashioned Genoa 1 give you better speed upwind in light conditions than your fancy code zero?
Greetings from Hong Kong. Hope you get your speed issues sorted. Like RHP9898 I don't think the music is appropriate, especially while you're talking. Good luck! 💪
Check out my full write up where I discuss it more later, that was at the time while racing. I am also more so referencing one specific wind angle. But I am also the only one racing this specific type of Mini (RG) that was designed over a decade ago out and there is something to be said for that. Doesn’t stop me from pushing the boat and racing hard though. So have to disagree on the “classic mistake” but thanks for watching
Tough start, but great attitude. Fair winds.

Fair winds and thx taking us with you
is there finally an American representing us in the MiniTransat scene? Yes!!!!!
learning French may be the problem
Fantastic start, Peter! And looks like you were able to reel back in some of those boats by the end! Well done!

Fun watching. Used to sail hobie16 a lot. Somehow reminds me more endurance but similar thrill

Time stamp 8:04
Looking at the foot of your main sail it looks like the draft is well aft of center
Any vets teams or groups in oregon ?
Who designed Patriot Sailing?
Who designed Terminal Leave?
The weirdo music spoils the video so much!
Did you see the decals?
по сравнению с гонкой венди глоб - тут туристы отдыхают - никто не гонит на пределе своих возможностей ))
Turn the music off...pleeeease
Why the music. Sooo annoying 🤨
Classic mistake, blame the boat for speed issues rather than looking at your own skills and decisions.
