Neat Video Links


Recommended Posts

Found this interesting about square riggers,lots of commentray as filming would still be in infancy stage.     18 knots was the claim for one ship

As my Grandfather said"Only a Horner can spit to windward".

One of my all time favourites bit of a slow burner but the tension ratchets up towards the end . The carnage further back in the fleet is worth keeping an eye on  , flares going off and insane wipeouts etc .

 

 

What a solid crew, the helmsman is very chilled. Cant work out what happened, look like the bow buried and maybe a spreader failed?

Backstay got a major crank just before so maybe too much so ?

f*ck that’s awesome !  Never seen that one or any of ragtime . I reckon that’s the most iconic NZ boat , still hauls ass after nearly 60 years

For those who have not seen the video of Windora on the hard in South Georgia. I came across Windora on a mooring near Nelson a couple of months back... lovely boat.
