If dad wanted to drive the boat that badly, maybe he just could have asked nicely???? :-)



he actually DOES split driving time with me.  I start and do the first upwind leg, then we switch at the weather mark...

Our local Wednesday Night Sailing PHRF series in Bermuda.  Downwind start heading out through Two Rock into the Great Sound.  Breeze 15-20 knots.  Great time mixing it up with the big boats of the fleet on the way out.  Was first to the bottom mark and held our time to the finish.

SK,

Great video, keep them coming.
We need more Viper action on the net.
If possible, position the camera a little higher.
Also, if you name your videos with the word "Viper" they will be easy to find.

In case you didn't catch it on YouTube or the SA forum, here's the video highlights from Charleston Race Week 2012...

Luke, I'm glad you guys are having a blast out in Halifax!

Friendly suggestion: trim the mainsail... you'll see the Viper go even faster! :-)

I knew someone was going to spot that! We were actually trying to reach up a little at the time so I have an excuse ....

Just don't forget that the mainsail leech is your backstay i.e.anti-inversion control. It keeps the mast in the boat. Rules of thumb- keep some gnav on & don't ease st beyond the spin turning block.
