The adventures of Yacht Flirtie

"Hi, we are sailing yacht Flirtie's crew, Bruce and Caroline. Welcome to our blog.

mast vibrations

We've been experiencing an annoying mast vibration since we've been at Port Joinville on Ile d'Yeu....but only when the wind is on the beam at 10 knots or so.

Found this interesting article from Selden Vibrations which details the problem nicely. As it happens we have one of the anti-vibration strips that they mention in the article and can confirm it works a real treat.
