Hi!
There haven't been any Chesapeake Bay posts for a while, so I'll post a link to a video of me sailing from Rock Hall to the Sassafrass River. After sitting for 7 months waiting for the new engine to be installed, it was ready to continue the journey that we started on March 30th of...
Sailing on Great Salt Lake in my E26, and playing a bit of chase with a friends E23. I had never been around an E23. Very impressive micro yacht... We were running a 135 and were fairly maxed out on sail area. He was able to run his 150 which really push his boat along nicely. My sailing...
Hey there fellow Vikings.
I have been busy at work on my first ever instructional video.
Shooting video, editing video, and putting it up in the general internet sphere are not things I have done before.
The video is on how to repair instrument holes in your cockpit...
I know many of you are having a tough go of it with this year's weather and I feel for you :rolleyes: For a time I bounced between the East Coast and Europe many years ago.
For those hunkered down and not able to sail .. here's a couple videos of some days we've been able to get in between...

I just took a look at the updated web site for the Yaquina Bay Yacht Club.

There is a nice video link there for sailing on the Bay with their YC group.
That E-29 in the video looks familiar, Ken!
This is...
Well, I decided to try the video feature on my little Casio Exilim camera. Only 8 MP, so don't view in "full screen":)

Just got a great new Video Camera with a Ultra Wide Lens. This was just a test I will post others soon. Enjoy :egrin: It was a great evening sail.

Just came across a site called smartflix.com, which rents hard to find and unusual videos for about $10 each. That may not sound like such a great deal compared with Netflix, but this place has titles like Storm Tactics by Lin and Larry ( http://smartflix.com/store/video/5887/Storm-Tactics )...

It never ceases to amaze me just how many useful tips one can find in the library of instructional videos on the EAA web site!

(no airplane, and I sometime wonder how I even afford a boat...)
:rolleyes:
This nice vid of the recent "Three Bridge Fiasco" race in the Bay has some footage from Dan's E-30.
I found the link on SA, today.

Fun to watch, and I wish I were there...

This summer several of our club members donated a day of sailing on their boats to "Heart of Sailing" and there is a little video up on UTube now. This was recorded aboard Magic, an E-32-3.
Here is a short explanatory quote form the video:
"Eric Hamblen of Project Pace, invited Sean on a...
Holy Cow! Check this sailing video out!
Global Challenge Sailing
Emphasis on the CHALLENGE! Watch some southern ocean greybeards wreck the crews of these open ocean yachts. My guess is they muted the sound because it was easier than bleeping all the curse words...
I have a slight interest in the Atlantic Race for Cruisers this year as one of my daughter-in-law's relatives is in it (still at sea). Here's a neat video (8.4 MB) someone took on another boat. I assume it's from this year, but I'm not sure.
I was all ready to go next year until I saw the...
On the second Saddleback College Seamanship cruise for the Spring 2006 class, MST 214B and 215, the Ericson 28 Half Moon was dismasted when the forestay broke. Best estimate of the cause is that the jib halyard had been wrapped around the top of the forestay for some time making the sail...
