Depends in your region, Like me, we San Diegans call it "Mexican" because when you do the douse your facing Mexico. In the Southern Hemisphere Mexico has little relevance, hence the name Kiwi drop.

It sure was!

😂😂

I'm genuinely not sure what happened to the rest of the footage. The options are: 1) The camera gods took pity on us and the battery died so part 3 never existed 2) When I first went over it back in April it was so bad that I wiped it from existence 3) It was all boring upwind stuff/(lots of family yelling & drama) that I deleted to make room for other stuff

Was that perhaps why we didn't get the leech cord on? I can't remember it well, but I think we were more worried about the tear in the jib than the leech cord tension. 😅😅

Yeah, I don't really have access to a Lasar on a regular basis. I should have some more Tasar, Elliott 7, and Melges (Melee) coming out soon though! (Turns out doing all my editing on my phone is very tedious, so now I've commandeered DJ's computer and I'm trying to get the hang of some other editing software).

The moonlight on the water was 👌👌 Next time you're over we'll have to organise a night sail!

Just you wait until the one from last week, the camera ended up in the water again 😅😅

Sometimes it's worth double checking just in case 😅😅

From what I remember we were attempting a stretch and blow drop, but I think there was a fair bit of miscommunication happening all round 😅

Helm should hold dead run, overtrim the spi, halyard drop half in quick to depower it, then the crew can pick the foot asap

@@wilsonho6184 Good summary!

I like the way you think! Let's definitely call that a success 😁😁

Thanks for the tip, we'll give it a try next time we're out! I only noticed a couple of weeks ago that the other tasars gybe the pole first so we'll definitely give that a go.

I'm pretty sure we had our regular skipper and a couple of crew filling in :)

Everyone had a great time, including the dolphins by the sounds of it!

I'm sure we'll get better once we know where everything is 😅😅

You're not wrong, it's been a steep learning curve since July! Mistakes still happen but now somewhat less dramatic, and I know how to fix them!

They're the new Elliot 7 keelboats out of Royal Perth Yacht Club. Heavy if you're used to dinghies but our regular training boats are BW8s, so these move a lot more than we're used to! (We've got to be careful stepping on that we don't tip in while still rigging in the pen!)

You're not wrong, we were truly terrible sailing together in this video! All part of the learning process 😊

@@kibedepark All these mistakes will help you grow and be better as a team. Keep practicing 🙂

We couldn't bail out the water fast enough, sometimes it's just easier to tip it all out and start again!

Yeah it was a bit rough, a few things we have to work on here. There was a bit of miscommunication with someone letting off the new sheet instead easing it, and then I was a bit slow getting up the pole up on the new side in the confusion. But hey, every sail is a good sail 😊

Thanks! We had 2 wins in 2 days 😁
