Disaster in Paradise

Great video , thanks for sharing. One can do only so many pre checks and checks during a sailing trip. Glad you made it back :)
Yes you are right, its so easy to overlook some things. I did check this part but Stainless Steel is a tricky material, the fatigue doesn't show until its broken.
Glad you enjoyed the video.

Awesome video! Bugger bout rigging, front stay is kinda important.

We are going sailing in Sea of Cortez later this year. I want to get Mavic but worried about release and catching off moving sailboat.

Hi. Flying off the moving boat is a challenge for sure. There are some important things in the settings that need to be got right before trying it. For sure practise hand take-offs and landings ashore lots first. Its much easier if you have someone else to actually hold/grab the drone while you operate the controller. I have to do it all plus sail the boat and it can get pretty hectic!
