Sailing SCAMPs on a blustery day

[@dangurney51]

Thanks for making a movie of the fun you & Thom had yesterday. Those SCAMPS are just made for Tomales Bay. They sure do handle those conditions with aplomb. Go SCAMPERS!

Yeah baby!,

Excellent Daniel. Thank you for sharing👍

B Frank was the first SCAMP I got to see up close, when Steve Haines brought her to Mystic Seaport for the WoodenBoat Festival, maybe 10 years ago. It's good to see her still going strong!

Her current owner is having a lovely time! Good sailor too.

Where can I see the “bleeder” setup?

[@dndrich]

Ah. If you look at around 7:14 of this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/e52ThZmLZpmdrtUsi=YAAeA1-SecxjeoH4 you will see it. The “bleater” is a line that traps the boom against the mast on starboard tack. I used a line tied to a pad eye where my downhaul is aft around the mast to a jam cleat with fairlead mounted on the boom.
