Sounds like you just missed beating the predicted arrival time. Was the app that smart it was able to predict the winds would be bad, or did it just get lucky? Seems like if you had just an hour more of spinnaker you would have beaten the prediction.

Hi Alex, do you carry a liferaft? If not, it may be worth considering how quickly you can inflate and get in the dinghy, particularly with going across the Channel. Before I could afford, or cared about(!) a liferaft we always used to keep the dinghy half inflated on deck. This being on the basis that we might get the other half pumped up pretty quickly and, if not, at least we had half to hang on to if the boat sunk in a hurry! Certainly best not to tow it, as it flips over, or carry it fully inflated on deck as it always tries to escape in heavy weather.
@AlexGoesSailing 9 күн бұрын
@@chriscockell no life raft but it does have one in the shed. Main reason for not carrying it is weight and room. I can get the dinghy inflated so fast now with the new pump and even manually. Also having a tri you will definitely have the time to pump it. Also have my epirb ready to go! It’s definitely an interesting conundrum.
@donotwantahandle1111 8 күн бұрын
Yeah, I'd be towing that dinghy fully inflated especially on a open ocean just in case the tri flipped and you need the dinghy straight away!
