2008 Singlehanded Transpac aboard Carroll E - Dana 24

[MrZeus169]

dana 24 oh jesus.....well....what can I say

[blueskyredkite]

How long does a pacific crossing take in 27 foot boat? Where is the end-point of the crossing? Oz? NZ? Further north? Please keep sailing and posting! As soon as I get some confidence single handing my Trintella 1a I intend to grab some video too - can't imagine me doing a solo transpac or transat - England to France maybe! :-)

what does that paddlething at the back of the boat do?

[captainandthelady]

That is a self-steering vane. Get the boat going in the right direction, set the sails so they're working right then set the self-steering vane and the boat will steer itself.

What is the title and author of that song playing?

[chumann1]

The song is "Hit on the head" by Gomez.

[warehambears13]

Which CD is it on, please, as I cant find it, and love this song! Thank you! Must find it!!

Great videos, by the way! Thank you.1

[chumann1]

Thanks for the comments. The song's off one of their more obscure CDs: "Abandoned Shopping Trolley Hotline." It's a two disc set.

[warehambears13]

Thank you, yes, found it now! All the best from England! This is still my favourite video!

Ahoy Chris,

Another brilliant video. Liked the Gomez track too and the great ending.
