SPINNAKER TAKEDOWN ONBOARD THE J-CLASS HANUMAN

A spinnaker takedown on a J-Class is a serious matter, a work where organisation and coordination are compulsory.

The video below shows the excellent manouevre made onboard Human with a real twenty-knot wind and a boat running at 12 off Newport.

Around the boat, some squalls which fortunately didn’t reach her. Temperature was 16 degrees.

Impressive the bowman’s climb to the spinnaker pole ( an ape would be slower) and the spinnaker pole’s sizes you can realize while the crew puts it back.
