The leg from CP1 to CP2 was the most fun but still had a lot of frustration too. The wind shifted and so the whole trip was beating into the wind. Also, I made some mistakes in rigging the boat which caused lots of problems that got worse the longer I was out.
Eventually my main sheet got so twisted that I could not let the sail in or out. Naturally this made tacking efficiently very difficult. Near the end of the clip you will hear ArchAngel comment on the set of my sail. My problem was I could not change the set of the sail. Of course I have fixed that rigging problem and now she beats into the wind just fine.
Some sections have a lot of wind noise. Also some sections shot at night are mostly dark. Bear with me. I'm still learning what works and what doesn't when filming in these conditions. I'll get better.
