That is beautiful! Must have been some really freaky wind with the way you guys did 4 complete 360º's on the same tack.

I was waiting to see a tack, I am about to start learning how to sail a spin and that would have been nice to see how it looked from the air.
But cool vid.
Thanks for that, some smooth work keeping the bow back up but not losing momentum.
Note to self,.... buy helicopter.
Amen!
One of my neighbors is a retired airline pilot and has his own Cessna. He was taking local newspaper journalist up to take pictures of a Vietnam memorial. They flew 500ft over the lake I was sailing on. Not only was I the only sailboat, but I was the only boat. The gal didn't take one picture!! I thought recognised the plane and bumbed into the neighbor a couple days later when he told me his passenger had a camera, but she wasn't much of a small plane person and was a little airsick. I was so bummed.
This was some footage the same day of the 505s. They were out sailing and asked if I would cut them some footage. I think the Jeremy is doing the A-Cats so I will wait for him to finish. There was much more footage to choose from. The camera man (Howie) is an avid 505 sailor.

I show this here to address the fact that each of us should have a helicopter.
