Are you the lead boat or the one that was doing the filming. If you were logging 6.6 K how much wind did you have. The lead boat seems to have only the main and genoa up but there doesn't look like there is much in the way of swells. Cheers, Bruce Hi Bruce, Yeah, we are the lead boat. That's my sweetie. (If you can find a copy of the current Mainsail, check the 26 section!) My friends, Tracey and Charles are in an old Hunter 27 and Tracey was doing the video with a Blackberry. (She loves that evil little thing) They called out the speed from their Speedometer (mechanical) so the 6.6 K claim MAY be taken with a mechanical grain of salt. Or it may have been spot on. I've seen 6.8 on GPS a couple of times. I kept heading up to keep some room between us (they were brand spanking new sailors then) and not run away from the camera. As I recall, the wind was about 12 to 15 - pretty steady. We sail Lake Texoma, on the border of Texas and Oklahoma. This is a flood control lake on the Red River Valley. Lakes, even 90,000 surface acres, don't have much swell. -- Richard Lamb email me: web site: http://www.home.earthlink.net/~cavelamb |
