Watched them douse the spinnaker @11:50 two or three times, and I still can't quite get my head around how it was done so quickly. Is there a huge vacuum cleaner in the hatch??
@@WinWindowS.K.Julian Thanks. It's taken a few videos to figure it out. I suspect that, as most everything below deck is of a proprietary nature (a big secret) they don't really want to let the cameras in to too many areas. Cheers.
@@spacesaverbob ua-cam.com/video/w3st365oLJc/v-deo.html I guess platoon has the same system, it's a massive carbon drum pulling the dropline, plus a free carbon roller at the hatch entrance so that the sail smoothly rounds the corner
WOW, the sound the wind makes is amazing the ship just hums.
P
What ship?
Loved the view. I really feel like a fly on the wall.
pretty freaking awesome
I'm old and did the early Key West Race weeks, this brought back many memories. Great work, a thrill for me to watch.
amazing crew work
Fantastic teamwork’s
BEST ONE !!! THX !!! :)
Never seen a chute doused so fast!
More onboard 4K videos please.
They are good
That crank handle the guy in the middle keeps turning....what's that attached to? One of the winches?
Yes. It is a pedestal grinder that can switch to various winches as needed for particular maneuvers or trimming needs.

Dropline and a highspeed winch

@@matthiafox Ah! Thanks. Now I get it. Very cool.
What's the line across the cockpit the long haired bloke is working on?
traveller, you can see the boom moving while he's doing it.
What line on the tacks is the guy in the middle hauling in 30' or so?
guy s got his jib in to close inboard on a light wind day
no...
So many mistakes!
Really? What's the name of your TP52 again?
What mistakes ?
