Thanks for taking us along with your adventure. You give a fascinating incite into the typical 24 hour cycle of an offshore race boat. Be proud my friend you’ve done well. Fair winds on your next adventure.

Haha I tried but the wind had other ideas 😂😂😂 I was literally drifting in a no wind zone as I watched the boats around take off over the horizon…painful is an understatement!

It’s interesting that boat trim affects your choice of where to catch a little shuteye. 🤔

Keep up the good work. Was wondering which autopilot you were using?

Thanks! I have NKE electronics and autopilot

You said in the first day video that the boat felt slow. Did you find things to change, or find something like weeds on the keel? Good luck in the second leg.
@pgnoceanracing10 ай бұрын
I would love to say it was kelp on the keel but it was a little more complicated than that. It was a combination of my boat struggles sailing that close to the wind on a close reach and I really should have shifted gears sooner into sailing the angles my boat prefers to sail. Great question and thanks for asking! Make sure to check out the write up here: www.pgnoceanracing.com/blog/mini-transat-leg-1-aar-pt1

@@pgnoceanracing I know the feeling. My boat does not like to point high but prefers to foot off, or go with the Code 0 further off the wind. It’s tough when in a fleet of boats that point well.
