Well done Ian, another leg of progress. The Aussies call those gusts of wind off the land bullets, fired down off the cliffs. Always hair raising, even when the sea if flat!
I fast forwarded over the two wheeled bit, not my cup of tea. Just wondered where you attach your preventer? Looks like a midships cleat and the attachment for the mainsheet. I've always been taught that a line, ideally one on port the other on starboard, should be tied round the boom led forward to the bow cleat and run back to the cockpit. Another enjoyable video. Looking forward to seeing you in Scotland.
I appreciate the two wheels wasn't everyone's cup of tea - I kept it very short for that reason.I don't know what the standard is for a preventer, I took the line round the mid ships cleat and run it back to the cockpit for convenience.
Well done sir!
thank you
Well you certainly are an adventurer! Just decided to go on to Scotland! Wow, well done!!
Cheers. Hope you enjoyed the vid
