   I also sometimes use an Insta360 camera which records a full 360° spherical view. It's a neat piece of kit, because the camera automatically removes itself and the selfie-stick from the resulting image. It seems like the camera is just hanging in space. But you can still see the wooden clamp I use to mount it on the gunwale railing, or the shadow cast be the camera and mount.
   
   The video can be edited for cool "tiny planet" effects as shown in this image, or focused to look at only specific angles and zoom levels as shown in this video.
   
   Or, I can post the unedited 360° spherical video to YouTube like this and, as the video is playing, you can click-and-drag to rotate the view to your own desired viewing angle.

   I use an old GoPro camera in a waterproof case clamped to the gunwale railing. With a couple of swivel connections it can be aimed in different directions. And the wooden clamp can be positioned anywhere along the railing.

   Excellent realization of this very successful project but, above all, fantastic video.
   
   I would like to see a photo showing the camera position.
   I also took some shots from the edge but these have a very external shot, exceptional.
   
   Really good!

   flaxbybuck asked: " I am interested to know how you have arranged your sheets such that your jib sails are able to overlap. I have not been able to get sufficient slack on the windward side sheet."
   
   I initially ran into the same problem.
   
   As you know, the sails using booms are relatively simple since you only need one sheet to let out or pull in the boom. It's self-tacking because the boom swings all by itself to the other side when tacking.
   
   But overlapping jibs require separate sheets port and starboard. Pull one side tight to set the sail, while the lazy sheet on the other side is let out loose.
   
   My winch servo provides 18" of sheet travel. So when I first did mine, I figured I could have 9" of overlap on the jibs. Nope. Like you, I found out there then just wasn't enough slack on the lazy sheet. D'oh!
   
   I had to stitch up a new set of smaller jib sails, so they overlap less. See image attached.
   
   I use one winch servo for the boomed sails, and a separate winch for the flying jibs and fisherman staysail. See the image with the coloured sheet lines. The red line is the sheet from the winch servo, pulling in or spooling out 18" of travel. The mate to it on the other side runs in the opposite direction.
   
   That red sheet line then splits three ways. The blue runs to the jib staysail (the middle jib), the green to the jib topsail, and the yellow comes back to the fisherman staysail so I can pull the foot of the fisherman to the correct side of the mainmast.
   
   I added bowsies into each line so I could make adjustments to each individual line tension. But I still need to make some changes there to lengthen each line. Studying my videos, I can see the wooden bowsie blocks need to be repositioned as they sometimes snag on other lines.
   
   p.s. I don't know why my previous post got truncated. The standard design should weigh 25lbs, but my modifications brought the boat up to nearly 28lbs.

    Thanks Zbip57 for that awesome video of underwater and her unbelievable sailing qualities. You have a real stunner on your hands there. Brilliant. I now understand her stability, and your strength!!
