Hello all- A couple weeks ago my son shot a short video while out on the trapeze of our 17 Supercat. The video was shot sailing out of Hecksher State Park on LI. Winds were about 10-12kts. from the NW. Flat bay- good acceleration. Great South Bay with no boat traffic and a nice breeze...Nice! Go check it out on youtube.com, search 17 supercat and you will see us sailing Great South Bay. Enjoy!

Thank you Jake for posting the video here. At 48 I am still learning the picture posting video uploading thing! I am sure that my 13 year old could have showed me how to do it- but where's the challenge in that? Thanks again. Mark. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

FYI- If you watch this video at youtube.com you can click on " view in high quality" and the video is crystal clear. Enjoy. Mark.

What was it i was promoting? – Nothing… just shooting a video of 2 boats sailing.

PDF's are a personal choice.. Just like helmets on a bike...

We sail most of the time in the intracoastal waters here in Dunedin, fl. You could walk to the beach it is so shallow.

I personally wear one when i leave the shallow waters, or when the wind or waves make me feel it is more possible to need it.

All us who don’t wear one at all times understand and accept the associated risk.

I don’t drink (I was the one shooting the video).

I'm sorry Its just I hear alot about the drinking and boating and people drowning. It wasn't directed as a personal attack. Please accept my appoligies.

No worries...

Awesome vid Andy! Bring the camera this weekend - Robin and I will be out Saturday.

Great video Andrew! Looks like you had some very consistant wind that day. It gets pretty gusty up here on LI this time of year and makes it difficult to fly a hull constantly. You guys make it look so easy....Be well. Mark.

Thanks Mark. It was a fun day. I think it was early spring when I shot that. Its blowing around 15 today.. i cant wait to get out!

Andrew- Who is the first musical track on your video? Even my son can't figure out who that is. Good tunes..nice segway into Bob Marly....mon! I also need to know where you guys got those great beverage holders?. I have never seen one that can hang off of a vertical cable like that. Thanks. Mark.

glad you liked it.
the song is from the gorillaz, its called Feel Good Inc,

All the data about the cup holder, including a link to purchase them is in the Sailing Sloops as Uni thread - http://www.catsailor.com/forums/showflat...;gonew=1#UNREAD

It's not a catamaran, but it does have a couple of cat sailors on board. This is the ride in after racing last Friday afternoon -

My girlfriend was up there for that regatta. She said it was HONKIN' on Friday! M24 is a blast, but I have yet to sail one in that much breeze.

I'm pretty sure that's our multihull sailor's Mike Krantz and Alex Shafer on that boat

You think sailing cats is exciting..check out Fusion man at jet-man.com. Watch this dudes videos...whoa! <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />He crossed the English Channel last week with a wing with jets strapped to his back! Totally amazing! Very interesting story..jet pilot,parachutest,hang glider. 10 years to develop his wing. You can also see videos of him on youtube.com. Search jet man. Great stuff. Enjoy! Mark.
