Re: [microsound] sailing sounds



Hi
i'm fond of sailing and there's a particular sound which is incredible.
in big regatta boats the jib is hauled (i think this is the way of saying)
by sheets that when the sail is regulated make an incredible sound which is
a little bit like a WROOOOAR, a very low and powerful sound that resonates
all around and also at a distance.
this is because sheets are ropes that have to keep incredible loads: sails
can be 400-500 square metre big and if the wind is good you can imagine the
power of this natural 'engine'. the amazing thing is that sounds are in the
middle of the sea and there is almost absolute silence...

the question is: anyone knows where sailing sounds can be found?
thanks in advance
eva


toshiya tsunoda used some related sounds in his cd's, not exactly sailing but very interesting. also eric cordier made some recordings of some ferry journeys crossing the river seine in his recent cd "osorezan". and i'm sure there are plenty of aroung which i can't exactly remember at this very moment...
cheers.
nic
