  • So this, our latest episode was supposed to be of Mist being launched. She is now back in the water, but we decided to show you this video that we made the other day instead.
    A number of people suggested that we collaborated with the Bumbling Sailor, and we're very pleased you did.
    We got together and sailed Demetrius, Terry's Contessa 26 for a few hours a day over a sunny bank holiday weekend.
    This video is but a small and poor showing of the topics we covered in that time. We hope you enjoy.
    As ever, please comment on what you see fit. And if you enjoy, please like the video and subscribe to the channel.
    For those of you that have not yet heard of the mighty Bumbling Sailor, follow this link to got to his channel and follow his exploits ‪@BumblingSailor‬

    Excellent! The Bumbler's great, he's further ahead on the same course as me . . . . but I do worry a little. We'll both need to keep a very close eye on the weather forecasts, and pray the engine starts!

    Lovely bit of collaboration. Was it the lack of wind or camera angle, the foot looked pretty loose on both reefs to me. Could the little reefing cars be moved aft a bit to tighten the foot on the reefs? Usually want a flat sail when reefed as it will be quite windy.

    • @sailingmist
      @sailingmist  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Nice spot! The reefed main definitely had more depth than the deep end of a diving pool. Terry is looking at changing the system more than just a bit though.
