First sail of the AC

Hi all,

I have gone out in the AC, today, and despite capsizing many times, I have decided it is my most favourate boat to sail, atleast at the moment, the feeling as it sliced through the water was just great. Anyway, here is a video I made of it!

Brilliant Max, I think your talents could run to film making, you are very brave to try these boats out, the part where you shot down the plank could go to "youve been framed", very amusing, well done. I was out today from about 11.00am to 16.00pm, but I did not go in, you must have been frozen.

Hi Rob and Stuart,

Many thanks for the replys, and yes, I did get very cold, but only in the morning. And Stuart, I had great fun, it was just fantastic. I am glad you like the film Rob! I am quite pleased with it

Best wishes,

Max

Excelent production Max! you should sell it to the IC website as a promo video!

The IC is still the boat I most wished I had kept... That feeling going upwind when fully powered up is unbeatable (yet)..

Thanks jpa_wfsc! Hadn't thought of that...

Even in the very light winds I was sailing in, the boats acceleration was just amazing! It wasn't even fully powered up

I have never sailed a boat quite like it, it was just fantastic......

Do you think I should post it on the IC forum?

Many thanks and best wishes,

Max

Hi Nigel,

Thanks you, I was using the Contour Roam (version 1 - http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B005MIZ046/r ... B005MIZ046 ), and the editing software was iMovie.

Best wishes,

Max
