[Rhodes22-list] Single-handed sail video

[Lou Rosenberg]

THANKS FOR POSTING!!

That rig at the end of the video looks something like the Trisail  
that  John Vigor describes at the end of his book
"The Seaworthy Offshore Sailboat"

As a professional videographer I am AMAZED at the quality of the  
compressed  image this sailor obtained with footage
acquired from a kite.  He probably used a high end consumer camcorder  
smaller than the usual palmcorder and just let it roll!
I gotta try that someday.

JV explains how to devise this pivoting headsail so if you are  
cruising through the tropics you don't need to worry about gibes..
not like any kind of spinnaker.
