Yes indeed, more footage, this time from 2021 Moth Worlds Day Two … slightly better with the stick-tape-GoPro-mount thing (today I try a bigger stick):

0:57 – race 1 weather leg
1:25 – race 1 downwind leg
2:12 – race 1 finish
2:23 – race 2 first start (recalled)
3:13 – race 2 actual start
3:58 – race 2 weather leg
4:30 – race 2 weather gate, crash/recovery on tack around mark
5:31 – race 2 downwind and finish!
One of my friends found this picture of me on the race website, must have been shortly after the start of race 2:
Deciding whether you have room to tack ahead of would-be oncoming starboard tack boats is pretty tricky, because you don’t know how well you’re going to tack and get back up to speed 🙂 … whew!

We are racing right in the middle of this view … you can see why they call it “the wind tunnel!
And so onward to Day Three of the Worlds, please stay tuned…
