Charlie, I'm not absolutely sure. I can only find non English sites but it sems to be called Vela Lateena and they are specific to the Canary Islands.Cool boats, what are they?
I confess the music grabbed me as well. Almost had a bit of a New Order feel about it. Its actually an American by the name of Tom Geiger.Cool music and wicked how they tacked / gybed and took the genoa behind the mast..How they do it?
That makes sense -- it does appear to be a lateen rig, but with an unconventional method for tacking!!Charlie, I'm not absolutely sure. I can only find non English sites but it sems to be called Vela Lateena and they are specific to the Canary Islands.
Huh? Isn't that how everyone does it?? You bunch of wimps.thats great! I like how they have to release and reattach the sail to tack. thanks for posting the video.
