Ya clever pair of baskets, well done. Was that today?

wow thats awesome- especially considering how rough the water was...

Very nice

Has the back person considered doing a duck? Done right the mast should lay down to the left of the front person... I'd still wear a helmet if I was in front though

Slowboat; Yeah. I know what those poor baskets in the Sydney Hobart feel like battling those huge seas.
It was Yesterday.
Today we had 20-25 SW forecast for late arvo but in the end we got barely 15 knots for about half and hour.
Ahhh... a duckky is out of the question on the back with big sails at least. They overlap too much. We have had duckkys on the front though, and a young bloke from SHQ did a spinny, flicky somthingorother tack on the front. I was standing right behind him and I still don't know what he did!

Far out has that thing got a rudder????

Thanks for posting the video. What an amazing vessel and manouevre

that was well done

brave man who sails @ the front

That's unreal, we were talking about you guys on the tandem yesterday as one of our crew were out teaching on the old F2 Tandem

Hey guys. It would be really great if you could bring that F2 tandem to Sandy with you on your next trip. I recon that thing has a heap more top speed potential than the Gemini!

Maybe we should get the speed-tandem out...

Ahhh.... I guess that will have to wait until a nice SW day. I think Tuesday we have another agenda................

New years day is looking good if you don't have a hangover!
