Thanks for sharing. I’ve subscribed and I wanted to provide some feedback. 1. Good on you for NOT adding a soundtrack. It’s depressing how many TH-camrs consider themselves God’s gift to the film world and add music. Ugh! I’m a retired musician and I don’t listen to music when I sail and you probably don’t either. I damn sure don’t want to listen to it while watching a sailing video. 2. I feel the exact opposite about commentary. Face it, it’s probably a pretty small sub-set of people who will be interested in a highly technical sailboat racing video. Those who do are watching it because a) we’ve been there and appreciate the experience and b) we want to learn by watching other’s experiences. I WANT to know why you did or didn’t lee bow that guy (or whatever) and to learn how it turned out, good or not. Which brings me to . . . 3. FINISH THE DAMN RACE! Not filming to the end is tantamount to ripping a book out of my hands half way through a good story. I want to learn what works and what doesn’t. If this makes the video too long in your opinion maybe edit out stretches where nothing is happening. I don’t know, but DON’T leave me hanging. It’s sailus interruptus. Again, thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much for subscribing. It really means a lot for me that you follow us at this early stage of the channel. There are two reasons for the PURE Sailing series. The first one is that I have to organize all of my GoPro footage. Some of it is on hard drives, some of it is hidden in Final Cut. I now have to watch all of the footage to categorize it, tag it and put it on a dedicated hard drive. I need this for future tutorials and commented videos. Second reason is that fife years ago I had given my left arm if someone had put his GoPro footage on TH-cam. Bora Gulari had done this and it really helped me to improve on the C-bord Nacra. 3. Sorry for that! The only reason I decided to end this video is the nosedive and that now matter how hard you tighten that screw above the GoPro the camera points towards the sky if you stick it hard enough into a wave. But I have more racing and I promise to upload it when I have the time to commented it on screen! I think we ended up at place number 19 from 22 in this race. We managed to score place number 16 in the race after that one even though our spinnaker halyard block collapsed somewhere in the middle of the last downwind. Never really figured out how to foil fast in weavy conditions. The racing day after that one was the highlight of my career so far with places 10 and 11.
