I loved the extreme efforts to avoid capsizing, but everyone turns turtle once in a while! These sailors are great. This is why Lasers are an Olympic Class.

I take great comfort watching sailors far better than I dump their Lasers.

I used to race a Laser many years ago... However, not nearly a good as these guys. Great fun!!!

Reminds me of sailing on Lake Ontario. We sailed out of Oswego and you get some huge rollers and wind. You keep the small craft behind the breakwall to help with this. I have been out on some bigger boats when it is 6-7 foot swells.

I used to race on a reservoir in Lincoln, Nebraska will stationed at Offutt AFB. Wind really blew out there. Capsized twice in one race and still finished in the middle of the pack. I can remember a death roll on a dead run to this day. (It was around 1975)

So good one of the best sailors I have seen 😊

You guys are mad dogs, awesome!

Great video! I miss my old Laser! Thank you!

I can watch it non stop......this is IT

looks like the funfest of sailing, great video

big bunch of fun!!!!! had a laser in the 80's, nothing like it! thanks for vid!!!!

Didn't know it was possible to pitchpole or submarine a laser.

The best capsize ever.

That is extreme !! How are you not breaking them ? Radical sailing, brilliant 👍

I remember surfing down a wave at Abersoch. Going so fast the gybe was as gentle as as if there was a summer breeze. Not as windy as this but still pretty breezy.

fantastic vidéo ! thank's....

I never knew monohulls could pitchpole!! At least that is what its called on a Hobiecat

Before Lasers there were Sunfishs. After a while we'd only go out in small craft warnings, broke spars... this is my kind of small craft sailing.

So miss being mobile, flexible in shape and fearless. In other words under 25.

Loved it!!

Haha cool sailing!

Thank you, it reminds me on my time on a laser, several times complete under water too ;-)

I loved doing this as a kid

I always wondered if you could pitchpole a Laser. Yes... yes you can.

I sailed Lasers in Asia - tame, even timid by comparison.

I did the Aegean islands with my laser some 25 years ago awesome

You are Great

If they were not racing would they still be capsizing? In other words, could they tack and jibe without capsizing if they weren't trying to sail as fast as possible or are they taking more risk than necessary?

Cool!!!

I used to do this with my buddy in SF bay back in the 80s

omg that jibe aaaaaaaaaaa

Com pauleira é muito difícil,BRAVOOO

hvor smukt!

so much fun

this is why i love living in the bay area summers are always like this

When it got really hectic I used to use a 5.7. Slower down wind, faster upwind, and no swimming.... I realise that's not the point!

Noryesss I love you.

👍👍👍

Every tack being a capsize really helps my imposter syndrome.

SUPER!!!!))))

I ve never capsize like this before

I find when on a run and my sail gybs on me, my boom is quite low for me. Is there any way I can change this?

Navegar en laser.es para caballos.porque es rápido el veléro.no t puedes dormir.de verdad muy divertido el laser

Old footage from before color film was invented

Wow!

Gybing with the board down is bound to capsize you .....lol! surprised they don't pull it up?

Yippee!!!

💯 Fun

1:55 creatif way to gybe

Ach! La dérive sabre. Faudrait une dérive courte de largue et celle de série pour les allures de près

God the speed of the boom. Yikes

Didn't know this was done, at sea. Spectacular indeed. Part of that: the slam gybes. (Is that common in a Laser?)

класс

my people.... crazy fuckers ;)))) best for You from Poland!!!!!

That’s a good way to lose your front teeth! Lol

Sailing races are “as exciting as watching grass grow.” I raced Lasers once, in Grand Cayman. Humiliated myself, wish I had watched the grass grow instead ...

That’s NOT Extreme Sailing ⛵️...ON the west cost of Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 that’s SUMMERTIME 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🤪

Not full mainsails. Wimps.
