Icicle #3 video

[svShearwater]

I put together a video summary of our race on Saturday.  If you've ever wondered what goes on during a double-handed race with a spinnaker on a J/120 now's your chance.  If you thought sailing involved a lot of sitting around, take a look. 

Kudos to Commodore Scott Lacy for the many great photos.  I added a few to the video.

GREAT video!  Nice thing about short handed sailing is there is only one crew to yell (speak with emphasis!) at!    I was amused by what I thought was your checking the time  on your wrist during the spin hoist and douse - oh, that's your auto pilot remote?  Never mind.

It is indeed a nice video.  I will do one next week to see how we do it on Stinker, but, of course, our kite is just a wee bit smaller and I usually have more then two.  Not sure I can be part of a double handed team anymore.

Very cool, you ready work well together. At least in the video, hard to walk away if you get mad at each other, and theres water all around you. Sold my boat for a camper, my wife did not like a rolling bathroom. Now I just crew.

I like the video and y'all are working very well together...of course the music is not giving us the words spoken...
What camera do you use?

Well, we've been teaming up for a long time now, so there isn't a lot to hear.  We actually met for the first time to do a Jack & Jill Double-Handed Race back in 1995. 

The video is from an early version GoPro.  I believe I did upload this one in HD.
