It remains a mystery... maybe they didn't like the fact the camera wasn't perfectly still on the rolling boat, whilst I was also holding on and trying to drink my tea....

The ram is permanently mounted below the cockpit floor, and works on a secondary tiller which comes out through a hole in the front of the rudder tube, and clamps onto the stock.

@@anthem1687 sounds like a good set up. Thanks

Great cover btw!

Thank you :) The version I play isn't true to the original. made it my own, which to me is all part of the fun - but this is what I play - capo on 3rd fret, the shapes are as follows: Intro: G, G with F# bass note, Em, D, Cadd9, D, Cadd9, G Then the interlude before the verse and in the middle of the song is F, C, G Verse G, C, G, D When you get to the lyric 'there it was', and on the 2nd verse 'If I'm the sea' it's the same root chords as the rest of the verse but play the sevenths, i.e. G7, C7, G7, D Chorus same as the intro, and you have the whole song

Yep, that was intentional, I never meant to play it exactly as per the original, to me, part of playing a cover is making it your own. Thanks for the feedback :)

It's called 'Daylight Fades'. This is the only place you will find it, I wrote and recorded it in about 2002 and it has not been released apart from as the music in this video.

+Mazda rx7 He would be hitting nearly 10 knots with that motor so its fine

+Michael Wall A 4 hp motor is going to push a 25 foot trimaran to 10 knots??? A little merc like that wouldn't even push a 10 foot dingy that fast

+Mazda rx7 Michael Wall is quite correct. It's far more about sea conditions and displacement than actual power. Think about it, 4hp would be all you would need on your average ~22ish ft cruising boat, which typically weighs 1000kg or more. Therefore on a trimaran weighing 600kg it's more than plenty. With the engine running flat out, 'Monster' would indeed hit 10kts through the water in calm weather, but cruised comfortably at around 8kts on 3/4 throttle. As the waves got bigger she would drop to around 6kts into bigger seas, but remember that's still probably faster than an equivalent sized monohull would motor in the same conditions.

+Mazda rx7 Also, there really isn't any need for an engine, I happened to have it on the day this video was filmed, but sailed her engineless a lot of the time without a problem. What did sailors do before engines were invented? If there is enough wind to get into trouble or get into heavy seas, there is by default enough wind to sail out of trouble.

anthem1687 hehehe, I always get a kick out of it when people say , what sailors do before engines. First of all, the didn't use fiberglass boats. Second, any boat that couldn't be rowed were towed by row boats. Third, it's kinda a hard if not impossible to berth most boats over 20 feet in marinas under sail today.
