2024 J24 midwinters at Davis Island Yacht Club race 1. We had a rough start but we climbed our way to 11th in 30 knots gusting to 40 knots. After this race, the race committee decided to abandon for the day due to the conditions. We hit a top speed of 11.8 knots and were planning on most of the downwind legs.
We recommend viewing in 2160p for the best viewing experience.

That was a pretty amazing set at 21:30!!! Super smooth recovery at 22:55, I would've been toast! Looks like your number was up at 27:20, but everyone kept their wits about them (like you had done that before), got weight to the high side, sheets out, vang off, and prepped for douse - almost like a TEAM!!! Great job team BadMoon!!!

@@SailDallasRacing In 4K I still can't see the ProStart - that weird looking guy with the decent haircut, cool shades, and professional sailing gloves keeps getting in the way on the downwind runs - but 4K does reveal that the foredeck is smoking hot, wow!!! Some lucky guy better have her locked down!

Keep the vang on, but let the pole forward. It was the spinnaker that was powering the boat through the leeward broach.

@brunobeckers4702 4 ай бұрын

Great video. Positive: - A very capable crew with good spinacker settings. - Good communication between skipper and crew. - Good recovery from Chinese jibe. Room for improvement: - Main sail trimming is simply not good. - Outhaul is not tight enough, the sail is far too full to beat in these conditions. You have problems to sail the same height as the competition. - Instead of tightening the main sheet, you pull-up the traveler which is a major trimming error in these windy conditions. - You loosen the main far too often for no apparent reason ( fluffing) when beating. Many times, the boat barey has sufficient heeling. - Manoeuvre announcements can be improved. - You count down a manoeuvre like "3...2..." but then you stop. It should be followed by "...1...TACK!" So the crew knows EXACTLY when to tack. - Same with commands like "we need to jibe" and then you suddenly jibe !? - Euh...where are these 35 to 40knots ??? ;-)

@jonathanshore5768 3 ай бұрын

That was the problem with us on American Magic not too many chiefs in the kitchen keep it simple so it can be concise for the back of the boat but honestly your down wind has legs. Get that up wind sheeting and get right and not being too conservative on the start and ya got a too 5 there in makings or better mate keep on keeping on

How did you end up getting the spin un-wrapped there at the end? I have wrapped my spin and it resulted in me getting towed back to the harbor with the spin still up shredding its self against the rig. Now I always hoist the jib before a spin drop, even at the end of races.

@SailDallasRacing 4 ай бұрын

In this case we had to lower the halyard and the trimmer went up and untwisted it. It luckily wasn’t wrapped too bad. It took him a minute to do it. I would recommend gathering the foot of the sail before dropping the halyard.

When trimming the main you might want to change the path of your hand. You go from block to your backside. Try going to your ear. You will get a lot more trim for each pull.
