Why not leave in the reals sounds - wind beating on the sails and leave out the commercial sounding crap which sounds the same as everyone else's video anyways?<br />Mighty Narcissushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09850854457360487432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-743510240401399331.post-91111611027580431172012-12-21T06:57:05.737-08:002012-12-21T06:57:05.737-08:00Sorry I missed this.

It has a few more features than the GoPro, including a remote control, so I feel it is better value. Did you try the playback in 1080p HD?<br /><br />I'm in the process of making a transom mount for it which I think will give a better perspective.Bruce Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00183133295468764937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-743510240401399331.post-69778015213964390142012-12-04T22:26:12.178-08:002012-12-04T22:26:12.178-08:00Thanks for your video... what a great way to spend...Thanks for your video... what a great way to spend time with Ashlee.<br /><br />What type of camera were you using? And what type of mount? We're about to post another video but our mount got cold and started to shake.<br /><br />Doug / Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05161131921177367663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-743510240401399331.post-50539434996143675402012-12-04T00:29:51.527-08:002012-12-04T00:29:51.527-08:00Hehe, two adults on a Laser is never easy, so well...Hehe, two adults on a Laser is never easy, so well done. I was going to mention that if the crew goes in front of the main sheet, life is somewhat easier, but you already know that:) I now have a short bamboo tiller ext to save the crew from a beating! For convenience, we kept the board down. This was Ashlee's first ever sail on a Laser as she has only ever been out on our Goat Island Skiff, which has substantially more room to move about.<br /><br />Here's a vid of a recent day out with my daughter on Salamander Bay, Port Stephens in about 12-14kts. http://youtu.be/0nnM_cvKXhk<br /><br />Bruce Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00183133295468764937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-743510240401399331.post-1073979134464503142012-12-03T06:07:08.862-08:002012-12-03T06:07:08.862-08:00Thanks.

For the longest time, no two of our tacks were the same (bumping heads, bumping butts, etc.) Then we tried Pam going <i>in front</i> of the mainsheet and that works better, plus there's much less chance of her getting hit on the head.<br /><br />On reaches, I keep me CB up about 1/2 way... but reaching in North America is a dying art. At the worlds, I was getting killed on the reaches.Doug / Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05161131921177367663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-743510240401399331.post-33328564113025173512012-12-02T06:15:57.318-08:002012-12-02T06:15:57.318-08:00NIce video - you make it look easy to sail with 2 ...NIce video - you make it look easy to sail with 2 people in a Laser.<br /><br />BTW, do you usually keep your centreboard up like that on reaching?Keep Reachinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11251896778558452358noreply@blogger.com
