Crewing on a Race Boat - I Have Never Been So Scared

[@jodywade5617]

Havent raced for 40 years and adrenaline still pump just watching.

[@mikefriend7570]

Seemed like a good steady breeze with not much to be concerned about.

[@jodywade5617]

Great trimming and a awesome helm.

[@davidmclachlan7440]

Stoll waiting for the scary

[@Warerdog24]

Easy boat to sail with nice wind

Fun video. Well edited to show that you can actually get thrills at 4 kns.

I yelled for the traveler to be up as you tacked

Hi Guys
Why did you wait for the other boat before you tacked you were on port tack you should have tacked to starboard had the right of way especially since the car was set wrong for the tack you were on

[@historicarmourer]

Where was the scary part? Looked like a nice breeze and a good sail to me.

[@TheJoysofBoatOwnership]

That is what skipper Ross said....

[@OldGuySailing]

You guys were really late

[@gustavomedellin1466]

Unsolicited advice (criticism) : need lots of work on crewing. Moderate breeze at best- no need to be scary. Need to be better at keeping the boat flat- pulling in the mainsheet when you are already heeling too much makes no sense. Traveler should be moved prior to tack. All three crew should be forward and on high side always. 2 speed self tailing winches would help with sheet tension. Late to the start.

[@OldGuySailing]

You need some self tailing winches

[@TheJoysofBoatOwnership]

I have them on my own boat...those things are expensive $$$$$$....

[@OldGuySailing]
