Excellent Day

[@florian402]

I so much enjoy these "slow" videos of yours. Like therapy after a hard day at work. Thank you so much.

You're very welcome.

The ONLY criticism I have of this well-thought-out and finished boat is the traveler, which would be much more helpful if it was at least the full width of the cockpit. Adjusting leech tension and sail angle is important, I think you’ll find.

Thanks for your comment. You might see either in this video or another that I use a two-sheet system. I eliminated the original Farrier-designed traveler because it obstructed the cockpit (I have particular mobility issues and need an uninterrupted cockpit.) Likewise, an aft-mounted traveler wasn't compatible with my 'solar panel bimini'. So I employ a two-sheet system (a sheet and a preventer) similar to how Quorning has designed into their similar-sized Dragonfly. As the first summer unfolded I was able to get pretty good sail shape control (the sail is a bit tired and blown out at this point.)

What is the 360 degree camera you're using? It really shows what's happening on the boat while underway
