Commander / Ariel Video Gallery

A short video I shot on my way down to Berkeley from Vallejo... (about a 30 mile sail).

I love this boat!

I was singlehandling and since I was using a still camera (digital) I was using the viewfinder... you can see that I loose a lot of speed as I fall-off. -I guess I was focused on the video composition - and not on holding my course!

The video is short, but sweet... (I think so! - since I had a great sail...)

An in the interest of 'equal-time', here is one of an Ariel...
(I remember someone posted a good one before - but I cannot find it...)

This one is pretty good. Good ideal for a thread Rico. I'll have to try my hand at it soon.

One of the thumbnails at the end of the above video
is Houdini introducing a couple of uncomfortable Norwegian kids to Ariel sailing on Galveston Bay.

Sailing this evening on the Sound. Kind of a feeble attempt at filmmaking.

I uploaded that video a few years ago of A-24. I think that it was taken on the way home from York Maine. Good memories...

Don't know if this has been posted before...

Same boat as in post #3 above. Nice looking Ariel, can't quite make out the sail #

Did you notice the hand rails added to the fore deck after the bow pulpit was removed?

Here's my contribution: Beautiful sail on Lake Michigan today - crystal blue skies, 60*, 15 kts of wind, 3-4 footers. But for poor Sadie puking, it was a dream.
Here is high-tailing it for smooth water after she reported feeling queasy, and subsequently puked in the porta-pottie. Unfortunately, the dramamine did its work about 15 minutes late. She rebounded after a brief party-nap and was good as new as soon as we hit flat seas inside the breakwater.
Afterwards S: "Hey Dad, thanks for the sail!" KW: "Seriously??" The girl is a real trooper.

Sunset sail on Lake Minnetonka

We have been having an AMAZING fall sailing season up here.

Found this on YouTube. Nice quality video. I sailed these waters when I was a kid!
