    You all are the very best at sailing and explaining sailing I have ever watched. I really like the occasional shot of the instrument cluster to see what direction and wind angle you are sailing. But I am wondering why the win-gen doesn't always match the wind direction. Because of the motion of the boat? As a non-sailor, things like that catch my eye. Really good to see the big smiles as you hit warmer weather. Roxy dreaming is hilarious. As always. Keep having fun and stay safe. Bill

    Why do you need such a giant steering wheel?

    • @SailingSweetRuca
      @SailingSweetRuca 3 дня назад

      That is just how the boat was designed, it came that way. Likely two reasons though: a larger wheel gives more leverage and a lighter steering feel, it also allows you to drive from both sides of the boat, otherwise you would need two steering wheels like some boats have.
