Wednesday sailing with the Helmet Hero

Lots of Mothies seem to be into the Volvo game - I'm very keen to avoid this, as between blogging/Facebook and reading various internet forums it is hard enough to find spare time!

Got out yesterday with Alan for a couple of hours practice. Getting the tacking thing down properly now and I think I still have a couple of wand related improvements to make which should make life even peachier...
Took the Helmet cam out aswell, and while its tricky to figure out where its pointing I'm still impressed with the quality. Need to try and get some higher quality on Youtube though...

Alan is still struggling to get his gybes consistently, but his tacking is coming on in leaps and bounds...

  1. dude it looks like your are tacking a bit too far forward!! Put your back foot further back, it will help a ton!
