SailYakkin from the Hood Canal Bridge to Seabeck Wa. 10-15 Mph Winds. Sailing on a Beam Reach all the way. Average speed 6Mph Max Speed 9.something. 20 miles in 3.5 hrs. Kinda concerned about the bow being underwater so much Very wet ride but no problems in a Drysuit. Beautiful day on the Hood Canal. Lost rudder control 3 or 4 times had to reef the sail to get control. Was run out of restricted waters by the base security at Bangor Sub base. Nice guys verry serious though.

Enjoyed your video. Well put together. The bow did seem to stay under water a fair bit. Could it have been due to a following swell? How much weight was in the forward part of the hull? I noticed my bow popped up faster after I moved some weight aft. |

Nice vid, and looked like a fun trip. Two questions though... How much water did you have inside the hull when you were done? What weight did you move aft? Were you packed for a stay, or was someone picking you up? OK, I guess that's three questions. Happy Sailing, - Jim L |
