Post here any videos of you sailing so other sailors can view them
Will be very interesting to see what boats people sail and some of their techniques (Might see some useful tips you can use in your own sailing )

Enjoy, and get posting

If you buy and send me a camera I'll be happy to pose for all of you.

Same for me.

i love groupamas crash, (expensive though), gitana (i think) runs in to the back of their rudders and takes them off and then you see the crew dive off the boat!

check it out, i used 'windows live movie maker' as well as 'windows expression' for this video.



this video is better, hoping to get some of me and the bro in the spitfire this summer:D so will come back to this thread. mk

Sounds Great! looking forward to watching that! They are intense boats! Alot mroe interesting then my opti

(First time I try this; not sure it will work.)
Soooo ... I'm quite willing / ready to jump out of a perfectly servicable aircraft at altitude, but this stuff looks to me just plain nuts! ;p

Meh ... no joy.
Well geesch, just linking to the page doesn't work either.



see also Volvo Ocean Race youtube channel

Nota Bene: I tried 2 ways of inserting media ... both failed. Then I just pasted the link, nekkid, and that worked fine!

i sore that on Y&Y, looks crazy so i'd luv it!
got a video of me sailing a mirror during the winter single-handed to put on utube later.

here it is...

why only one glove?!

uh?

yeah that was a mistake! i needed a glove off to put the tap around the mast and phone case. it was around 4 degrees, half term after christmas. i got bored of not sailx out of season so rigged it and just when for it, crazy right

When i get better video up and when i start puting videos on my HowToSailOptis channal i will post them here.

Nice productions opti ... ^5

Yeah nice opti!

This is quite funny to watch! Sorry about my friends weird laugh!!
But this is How To Get Rid of a Crew!!

Great video Popcorn and Mirrorking, really enjoyed watching it. That was hilarious Popcorn! You hate your crew that much? I am trying to find out a hilarious video that I had from early 2010 of me falling out of my Optimist. By the way Mirrorking you used some creative spelling of "spinnaker" in your video haha , no disrespect, was still a great video!

Not really sailing related (sorry) but still a really cool video. Clearing the snow- Kiwirail style!

Nice vid! Don't know how you can live with an aft mainsheet though!

im not done editing i need to go out sailing and get different angles and i plan to have some one wake board behind my 16 in it to but do you think the music matches and good because i want to try to get go pro to use it as a commercial.

if i do it would be the second sailing video go pro used
this would be the first

Nice video's opti!

Are they both done by you?

YoungerGun

i wish they were!! just the fist one and i cant finish it because i the weather in Florida is really bad is i cant film the rest.

pop ur crews toestraps is what happened to mine today, i was just ooching over a wave and BAM the rope tying them in breaks and flop i go for a swim. I should have brought my GoPro out today, 10-15kts, 2.5M waves and we had to cross the shipping lane of the worlds second largest port (in an opti this is very scary), i missed the worlds biggest containor ship and then while trying to get passed another ship it but chickened out and headed back upwind in between the 2 channels as the huge bow of the container ship loomed closer

below is the bigger of the two ships i had to avoid

and this is what the other one looked like

It is something like a boat every 5 minutes 24/7 that comes in and out of the port, makes for a hairy crossing when you are maxing 3kts and they are doing 20kts!

thats a big boat!
talking about breaking toe straps during my assessment to be a sailing instructor the other week i broke the toe straps right in front of the assessor. but amazingly i landed in the water but sort of swung round the helm and then quickly jumped from the rudder to my hiking spot with out slowing the boat by much atall, bit hard to explain wish someone had a cam
