Gearing up for 26!
Conditions look good and the soft hangar door is open. Hiskia has just arrived and is scurrying around loading the RIB up. We have spent all morning chasing the electronics around. The new solid state onboard video camera is giving us grief and only recording random bits of footage... so I in turn are giving the manufacturers grief for charging us £600 for something that needs a technician to operate. Exactly what we don't want out here. I personally hate paying money to develop other peoples products.
Righto, enough of the moaning... time to get sailing. We have cobbled together a system for recording wind, cut and shut the data logging system so at least the displays on the boat will display real values from the wing angle and rudder angle sensors and hopefully, this dodgy Onboard camera system will work so that I can call out the values whilst thumping down the course... That will be our means of data logging!
Last time I think the boat had slipped back into it's old mode of sailing... i.e. sideways. This time I want to make sure we get it straight. If we don't then I will abort the run half way and try again.
Cheers, Paul.
