My first video on YouTube showing Concerto under spinnaker.

[Concerto]

Very nice. ?

My first attempt at video editing - a summary of the first 6 months with my 'new to me' boat.

Bet you get a smile everytime you watch that video. It will bring back strong memories.

I do it regularly in open water. Having raced offshore in the past I have probably had virtually every problem with a spinnaker and survived, so do not worry about it.

Have you done the one where you do a wineglass.... but wrapped round the forestay?

So that's why we do it!
I had almost forgotten.

I’ve done the one where you go up the mast to retrieve the shredded remains of your kite from the forestay. That’s not a lot of fun!

Ok, I watched this yesterday and then had a dream about it last night....

 

[Concerto]

Have you done the one where you do a wineglass.... but wrapped round the forestay?

Yup, done that. We were racing at time. We sorted it by running by the lee to cover the spinnaker so the twists could be pulled out. Not something I would want to do singlehanded, but sometimes needs must.

What have you got against dolphins?

Freeloaders, the lot of them - riding our bow waves. Grrrr. Ha ha, no not really. It just seems compulsory to get the cliched shot of dolphins on video. I'd probably do it too, if I had the opportunity.

 

[Blueboatman]

Perfect RC, thank you
Summer sailing @ best .

Nippy , very tidy boat eh?

OK, you're excused! I have sat on the bow of a small yacht on flotilla squeaking at the dolphins playing in our bow wave while my less animalistic mate steered... Magic!

Where do you find all that sunshine?

 

[Concerto]

DJE, you should remember we met at the Scuttlebutt Run in 2018 in Cowes. Your boat is in the foreground and Concerto is opposite with DOM behind. This photo might bring back a few memories of that event that should have gone the Cherbourg but the northerly gales stopped that. On the Sunday I did sail to Cherbourg, so arrived a few days later than planned.

 

[Concerto]

Just found another photo with Chubby's Dabchick and shows your boat quite clearly. If you want copies of theses photos, just send a PM with your email address.
