What's hilarious is that they POSTED THIS!

I love that no one says a word! The faces tell it all.

Note to self; When looking for a J22 look for one up North.

Obviously the port 'n starboard rules don't apply in Tenneversaw'em

Based on what I just watched, I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't crash into each other at the parking lot getting out of the marina. Jaysus!!

that is a messy regatta!! good to see you guys had fun but damn I would not be taking my boat to something like this

You're gonna need a bigger lake.

With the post 2008 global decline of sailboat racing, I’m glad there are people out there still willing to give it a go. Glad these guys have chosen to support the sport. With a little time I’m sure they’ll get there.

the SILENT pirate boat ! NOBODY says a thing on that boat ???

this could be a new promotion to start a brand new sailing demolition derby. Gheez, are these guys weekend warrior's? i'm staying out of that state...

I am sure the local Home Depot is making a mint on epoxy and fiberglass.

It looks like sailboat racing in Tennessee is a contact sport.

I loved the part with the beer boat! Will definately add that to our regattas! I don't understand why you keep that outboard engine on the stern, it sure takes a lot of beating! I always put my engine inside the boat, or leave it on shore when I go for racing.

Need more info on this regatta. Notice of Race or Sailing Instructions?

I have never seen so many collisions in one race. Does anyone follow the rules at all? bumper boats.

THE GUY SAILING THE S 2 7.9 NEEDS TO GET HIS GLASSES PRESCRIPTION CHECKED

Anchoring a Opti and stuffing it full of beer. Bloody brilliant eh!

that wild!! thanks for posting

Kind of funny with that beer can boat and that slamming into each other... one of the more entertaining sailing videos - you don't want to see tacking and shadowing all night long do you :)

What an absolute fustercluck. Still, it’s nice to see Sailors Without Sight on the water.

Nice job on the beer grab, too bad about the bumper cars, impressed I did not hear any cussin' ~ like around here!

The current in that river must be strong!?

insert the benny hill theme :)

Putting your outboard away is a great idea.

what?? at 1:56, no "abra kadabra", would have been nice to play that song while the video was playing, as background!!!!

Did the guy on the other boat say; 'I dropped my beer?'

Doe these people actually know the rules and how to race a sailboat?

this is why its nearly always better to crew than to club race your own boat !

Looks like fun, I'd sooner sail with you than some of the commenters.

you caused all of them, put that bloody outboard motor away lol

Looks like a competitive fleet, nice video, thanks!

(Special) Olympics trials?

Losing the engine might help, too.

awesome

Super control of the boat

The main sail trim was awful. The first collision was because you didn’t get up to close hauled. You should be out pointing the fleet. Trim the main!

Didn't you notice that all their Documents - both the Notice of Race and the Sailing Instructions - hang on the backstay 0:14

Hello who got the penalty

Don't you know rubbing is racing man.

Mabye u should get a smaller boat like a 470 because u aperntly can sail

hahahahah what. the. fuck. did i just watch. I thought its man in overboard, but that was beer, and then that massacre. hahaha genious!

you call that a crash?

Anyone flying a jolly roger unless your name is Black Beard leave it at home ......

I used to own a J22 named Beep Beep. Mint condition. I hope it’s not that one.

Like a shoe store in a cloths dryer.

Crayfish are always good for beer, but in this race it is as if you yourself do not become food for crayfish.

You guys must be really good. Everyone's trying to take you out!! Nice video.

Bump cars! The boats are not supposed to bump together like that!

Perhaps everyone should go back to school and learn the sailing rules of the club they are sailing with.

so your all quite new to sailing and racing huh!?

Gee no one went over or sunk

Where is this?

What a Mess!!!!!!!!

Amateur hour. Everyone should be wearing red noses and big floppy shoes.

i like this club...!

Let's go sailing. Fun they said it would be.....

Find Luigi!

Only two words to describe 4:34 - 4:50 = tangle fxxx 😱

Those must be club boats...

I'm never sailing with these guys

Great entertainment

Nobody is wearing a lifejacket

Look on the bright side, if your vessel goes 1/2 the speed of smell you can absorb 13 impacts with no injury. This guy should stay off the water wtf.

Damn I'm jealous!

Great advertisement for Tennessee, I don't think.

Boat to port is aptly named for this fiasco....

Wow these guys are some bad sailors...always getting rolled form windward..

The best part of this video are comments *rofl*

Hilarious !

You fly a SKULL & CROSS BONES! WHY?????

Раки к пиву всегда хороши, но в этой гонке как бы самим не пойти на корм ракам.

who gave them sailing patents !! ?? revoke permissions immediately! re-exams !! then implement the regatta learning system, because in this video NIKT has no idea about the regatta rules, tactics and technique of yacht guidance as well !!

That was funny 😄 those guys were just out there to go by the beer boat. The communication was somewhat lacking. If they were at all serious about racing, don’t you think there would have been some yelling, some effort to go the right way around the mark? Lol!!!

Sunfish

Where's the umpire's boat handing out the penalties? :-)

Lol. Why so tight?!?!?!?! Yikes.

Sorry -- filming boat is at entitled to mark room AND ROW when rounding a mark to leeward; the jibe was about to take place but didn't before sail #590 clipped filming boat's stern. That took place TWICE in the vid. If protest flags were allowed in this race filming skipper certainly could've raised two of them. But it looks to me like the BEER was the only objective worth ramming each other for. The outboard motor should be banned from racing for life.

I guess they're cheap boats comparative. But still between$7 000 and $20, 000. I don't think I would be alright with most of that . That boat can thread a needle and turn on a dime , with a good helmsman, so I ask two question . WYF, AND WHY????

Boatscooter

No hails of Protest and no flags flown. Guess there's a different rules system down south.Rules? we don't need no stinkin rules.

no communication, helm is trying to do way too much , sail trim (main) and steering is terrible as a result and awefull mark rounding . but tbh the rest of the fleet isnt much better , come over here to Europe and we'll show you a thing or two about racing boats

Seems like a large number of "sailors" who don't quite know what they are doing...maybe I'm wrong.......nah, I'm right.

that is hilarious

You caused most of it.

LOL

Lol 😂

Tennessee? Guess that explains the large poor choice one design. None of them can sail. Massacre is a far fetch in a 22 foot day sailer

What a bunch of maroons.

Hahaha

Terrible, jajajaj que muertos

There was no one who was able to sail in this race. Learn the rules before you post a video where you complain about others.

Where are the protest flags ? You don't protest and that is the kind of racing you will have

you guys are sooooooo messy!

What a disgusting video of sailing

This race has to be an embarrassment to the sport. Two things the skipper and crew need to do is learn how to sail because you don't know basics of sail trim., [their skill is so poor, a boat from astern overtook them in their lee] and take a courses on the Racing Rules of Sailing. Your a disaster that interfering with real sailors racing their boats trying to win. I could see that fleet racing 17,000 pounds, forty foot R boats on Lake Erie and playing bumper cars. A jib by another boat at a start broadside my starboard tacked boat 25 seconds before the gun in 15 knot winds. If she hit us three feet forward, the forestry would let loose and 55 feet of mast with it, three feet aft and we would have sunk. As it was she was hole with such force it lifted the front deck off the hull. Luckily nobody was hurt except his insurance company that paid the $24,300 to have my boat repaired. His boat had minimal damage to her bow. We lost the season due to the repairs and a damn good start.

BORING
