First Mate Sailing on the Wind
Here is a twenty second clip showing First Mate sailing to windward on an enjoyably fresh day. This should give some indication of a number of things - the benefit of a sharp entry when it comes to spray suppression, the effectiveness of a well cut balance lugsail (in this case 76 sq.ft.), and how pleasant it is to sit low in the boat with one's weight concentrated in the weather bilge.

Where can I see details of your down haul arrangement? Great looking boat and rig.

DeleteRoss, I have been distracted by duties other than boating (work) for the past little while. Thoroughly enjoyed the mothership article, and what an excellent clip of First Mate. Those are the sorts of conditions where I would get a drenching with my current boat (as we have discussed). Whilst I do like the idea of Little Egret, and all that she offers - I wonder what 1st mate would be like stretched 10%? I have read lots of posts on the discussion page of stretching Phoenix iii this way and wonder if it is possible with First Mate?
ReplyDeleteRespectfully yours, Graham
Great narration.

Hey Ross, your Phoenix III design is beautiful. I am building a Whisstock 15 ft. lapstrake and I anticipate difficulty bending the planks across their width at the curve of the bilge. Ply is 9mm and quite stiff. Any suggestions?? Thanks!

Your Fire TV Stick will not be lost if you lose your remote. What's the best way to configure a new remote control? It's easy to swap out the remote on your Amazon Fire TV Stick. We love curling up in front of a good movie, and seeing our favorites on the big screen has never been easier. Misplacing the remote for my streaming stick, on the other hand, easily puts an end to the fun. We won't have to worry about all of that. Thankfully, we won't have to deal with all of that. Thankfully, we won't need to buy a new streaming stick because we lost the remote. Here are the steps to get your new Fire TV Stick remote up and running! You can easily solve your dilemma.
