Just got back from this year's Texas 200. The Pocketship is the perfect boat. I keep thinking I want to build another boat but it is really hard to justify when I have what I have found to be the perfect boat for my purposes. Anyway here is this year's video. Thanks for watching.

Well done!

Thanks for posting this (and all your other posts).

All the best,

I enjoyed watching it last night. Thanks for sharing. I bet the "OH NO!!" moment was really scary. Makes me think about getting a safety tether, especially when sailing alone.

I learned no matter how grounded you think you boat is, boats float and they float better with less mass. Also, never exit the boat without a line in your hand and roll up your jib and be sure your sheets are clear and don't be stupid...

Man! what a cool video! Well done.

I can't tell you how much I enjoyed your video, I have thought about your great adventure many times... Thinking back to your first try and early departure... then last year and the center board challenges and then this year, not only completing the 200, but doing so in impressive fashion. Well done... both on your adventure and your video!!! You have definitely given me something to strive for.

Thank you Jim.
