Here are a couple clips of sailing on Seneca today!




The day started slow and calm, and the wind picked up to 10-12 for a while. We sailed 6 miles under spinnaker. As the wind picked up, we doused the spinnaker and turned upwind. We hit 9 mph under spinnaker, and we hit 11mph on a reach later in the day.

Nice drone work! Might just get me a little one someday.
Thanks. I love the side decks on the outriggers. I can take off outside the shrouds and stays. Landing is still kind of stressful under sail!

Yeah. I have not had the nerve to fly it in 10 knots of wind!
