Great video, it's some of the best high wind footage I've seen. Some people enjoy racing but my favorite part of sailing has always been hanging on for dear life in a reach in high winds. I remember doing it out on the pipe wings of an old scow Moth I used to own.

Believe me it is incredible fun. I used to race motorbikes at 160mph+ and I can honestly say that blasting along in a sailboat can be just as exciting at times; even though the speeds are so much lower it FEELS like you are going at warp factor 9 sometimes. Get out there.

Doesn't have to cost a lot to get out there and have some real excitement.......you don't need a state-of-the-art £10k boat......you can get an old Laser for peanuts and blast around in the knowledge that if anything breaks it isn't going to have cost you an arm and a leg. Friend of mine picked one up for £50 recently......ok it's old and it's not pretty, but you can still have a LOT of fun

@SAWOK12 2 жыл бұрын

I never sailed an Aero but they look similar to a Laser. If you're over 65kgs Lasers are a good choice (they have 3 diff. sizes of rigs), and probably easier to find fleets if you want to race.

I've been a dinghy and cat sailor for 43 years and still sail a full rigged Laser at 53yo. 35-40 knots? Don't believe it. Not for one second. In 35-40 knots 90% of the sail would be inside out and you would be trying to get drive off a couple of square feet at the clew. They are great sailors in very strong winds and are fantastic to watch but the Physics of how a sail works disproves the claimed wind strength. Sorry.🤨
