Take a Sail With Me – ABYC Week 2014 Race 4

GoPro time lapse from the 4th and final race sailed on Wild Thing (Russel Morgan) in ABYC Week 1 to 4 May 2014.

The Algoa Bay Yacht Club’s annual prestige regatta was sailed in Port Elizabeth, South Africa in very light conditions and produced a first in that not one race was sailed over the entire course. Four races were shortened and two abandoned as the fleet struggled in extremely light conditions – https://abyc.co.za/another-first-for-abyc/

In this recording you will see a bit of argy bargy towards the 12 second mark as Wild Thing starboards Orion (Kerry Bonnage) who starboards Unmatched (Graham ‘Weather Mark Wentie’ Wentworth).

Unmatched proceeds to foul Orion, bump Malgas (Tony Bailes) and then get tethered to the weather mark – earning enough penalties to make any crew dizzy!

Take a Sail With Me – ABYC Week 2014 Race 3

Wild Thing – a Pacer 27 racing Race 3 of Algoa Bay Yacht Club’s annual regatta – ABYC Week. Sailing in Algoa Bay off Port Elizabeth. The only way we could ‘pretend’ that we were sailing in lots of wind was to speed up this Go Pro time lapse recording.

The Joy of Sailing

Russel Morgan’s Pacer 27 shows a bit of pace off the wind on Wednesday evening 19 February 2014.

THIS is the reason why sailing is fun – a heart in the mouth wave jumping/piercing adrenalin rush, only to relive each moment again and again at the Teak Reef.
