  • Sailor knows his boats capabilities! I'd sail anywhere with him.

  • looks like they cut off the video right before it hits the bridge lol

  • sin = Opposite / Hypotenuse

    sin = 65/80 = 0.8125

    arc sin 0.8125 = 54.5 degrees

    90 - 54.5 = 35.5 degrees list

    IF YOU WATCH THE VIDEO AND PAUSE IT AS THE KETCH PASSES UNDER THE BRIDGE, you can put a protractor on the screen, and see the angle subtended between the mast and the water is 54.5 degrees.

  • A wonderful demonstration of thoughtful seamanship!

  • I saw a version of this on wimp.com and was very impressed. What kept me rapt for the entire video though was the music, the same as in this version. Could you please let me know what this piece is?
