Hello!<\/p>\n
Sailing Kvark has been a joy so far! I stayed on board for about 24 hours. Of these hours I slept 9. I filmed some raw footage, could not stop taking a selfie shot on board:<\/p>\n
<\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>She is a bit wobbly when unloaded. In this video, my girlfriend is sleeping in the boat while under sail. Tacking did want to give her a involuntary shift of sleeping-side.<\/p>\n<p>I had some friends over to sail too. Then we had three people on deck and one below. She heeled her portside windows into water a few times. \u00a0That was a thrill, the water flowed out of the keel ballast tanks for a second or two so I could hear bubbling when the keel went back into water. So we know that ballasting is good for her.<\/p>\n<p>Joosep fixed some rope (blue rope seen on fore deck in the video above) as a jury fore railing. It has turned out to be very effective at keeping people on board, as it kept one of my friends from sliding into water on a tack. What added excitement was that the rope actually came loose from its aft shackle and almost tossed my other friend overboard. Luckly, he got a hold of the mast. His feet did kiss the water, though.<\/p>\n<p>I also excecuted a fine MOB (Man Overboard) manoeuvre, but instead of a man it was my dear cap that flew overboard. I got hit in the head by the boom three times. The third time was a charm and the hat flew over. I cursed out loud and thought that there it goes, ready to give it up. Then I thought again, of the fine things the hat means to me, and excecuted\u00a0a jib and aimed the cap-rescue for\u00a0a windward course. I \u00a0made the approach, saw the cap\u00a0dissapear under the starboard side in the fore and then rushed to stretch my hand over starboard: and i got it! I felt really proud.<br \/>\nOther than that. <\/p>\n<p>Sleeping two people in the boat is an excercise. I am a tall (6.3 ft) and rather wide guy. This meant that unfortunately my girlfriend had a worse nights sleep than I. The night was rather cold, 9 C (48 F) and the cabin interior was covered in dew in the morning. No trouble, a rag and good ventilation got rid of it. Should add a ventilation port into the companionway hatch.<\/p>\n<p>All good for now, <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-2060 size-medium alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/purjekas.planet.ee\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/20150802_224843-e1438552586327-169x300.jpg\" alt=\"20150802_224843\" width=\"169\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/purjekas.planet.ee\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/20150802_224843-e1438552586327-169x300.jpg 169w, https:\/\/purjekas.planet.ee\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/20150802_224843-e1438552586327-576x1024.jpg 576w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 169px) 100vw, 169px\" \/>still gaining momentum for editing all the launch material for a good post. So this raw video will do for starters.<\/p>\n<p>Also, so far the top-speed under jury polytarp sails has been around 10 km\/h or 5.4 knots. Downwind that was. On the left is a picture of my GPS, which shows the result of the 24 hours. Up and down the lake very many times!<\/p>\n<p>Cheers!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello!
