No sailing today...but video posted!

Hi all,
Well today we have been busy in the container going through all the data and videos. It takes a loooong time as we now have so much thanks to the amount of sailing we have been doing.
I made a short video of our Run 16 outing which you can see on 'Youtube' at this URL http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KbVYO9atBQA
That was our first 'windy' outing since our Run 7 crash ages ago.
I'm delighted with the recent progress and now it feels like we are firmly back in the drivers seat.

Some wierd stuff is going on with the boat. The rudder data is showing that I am going down the course at speed with the rudder hard over by large angles of over 20 degrees! It would appear that I am fighting to keep the boat up to the wind due to the fixed skeg setting and the boats current geometry. The funny thing is that there is so little load on the steering... and even when there is no steering load... the rudder indicator is still showing angles of around 15 degrees. Wierder still is the fact that some times I am even getting weather helm at these angles. It just doesn't make sense. We double checked the calibration of the instrument and it seems right. The OBC (onboard camera) footage also shows alot of rudder input. The only thing I can think of is that Sailrocket is crabbing down the course at quite large angles... but surely not 19 degrees or so. I suspect that something is wrong with the data logger on this channel. I will make a good visual reference for the OBC. I don't want to go making any big, coarse adjustments until this info is verified.
I did some steering with the skeg flap during both runs 19 and 20 and it feels good.
Time to kick up the big rudder now.
The slowing down procedure is also getting much slicker and taking alot less room.
We're at a good stage now.
Cheers, Paul.
