Evening cruiser race

⛵️ Join me and Jeff aboard Eala, my Jeanneau Sun 2000, as we take on a cruiser race in gusts up to 22 knots — raw, real, and unfiltered.

This video is different. It’s a full, close-up view from the companionway showing what it’s really like sailing a small boat in heavy air: the teamwork, the tactics, the cockpit chaos, and the constant trimming.

No music. raw footage. Just us and the wind.

📍What to Expect:
• Full onboard cockpit view — companionway cam
• Real-time sail handling & crew calls
• Upwind tacks, downwind pressure, and everything in between
• Honest reactions, chatter, and the raw rhythm of racing

This race felt good. If you're into realistic sailing, you'll feel right at home here.
