Very nice. I was just getting into the last song but it got cut off. Who is the artist?
Was that taken in Dunedin? I plan on going there at the end of the month and look forward to some great weather and sailing.
Thanks for sharing! -

Eric Weller - sorry about the song being cut off..
the video was being edited last night while i watched the Yankees and learned a new way to taper my halyard.. so the video came 3rd in attention...
It is the Gorillaz - "Feel Good Inc.".
The video is actually a little out of sequence and i will be fixing that.
Yes this is all st Joesph sound (Dunedin). bring some foul weather gear.. we usually get some chili air in for thanksgiving... (it was blowing 20knots and 85* today)
Erice - Thanks,... i love looking at rigging... call me crazy
Larry - this could be your new sailing area!!! and then you can hate me up close! :) -

While my boat is now put away until next season, I'm glad someone is still out there. -

Your cruel Andrew, but thanks for posting the video. It was fun to watch. It was interesting to see how you've got things rigged up. I like the downhaul marks on the mast, that's a good idea. Now excuse me while I put on my gloves and finish my igloo. -

Hi Larry, the front tramp is a custom 2'x5' tramp i had made by sunrise yacht club. it has a pocket for my anchor, and righting bag (underneath). it holds my cooler, life jackets and radio.
Its made out of tramp material and attaches to the hull with 2 little eyestraps (in front) and tied off to the beam in the rear.
It was a little pricey $240 but it keeps all that stuff off my tramp.
I LOVE IT!
