surf nazi 91 #27 Posted March 30, 2020 3 hours ago, ROADKILL666 said: You have to be one fit sob to sail a finn and fearless. Those top guys are amazing. A few years ago in miami world cup on the first day of racing, it was blowing 30 kts and the racecourse was about 7 miles downwind of the harbor. There were 2 races scheduled as usual. I figured maybe I could survive one race and then come in, using that second race as my throwout. All of my master friends wisely decided to sit the day out or go on coach boats to watch the mayhem. By the time my whiteknucked blast to the racecourse was over, I knew I didn't want any more, but then had a 7 mile 30 kt beat home. Yikes. Yes, those top finn sailors race hard in 30 kt winds all the time. They are without a doubt the most fit and fearless sailors in the world. No one else is close. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Murphness 69 #28 Posted March 30, 2020 Trysail and a heavy #2 that was stuck up because it was too windy to take down. Near 30 knots surfing down some massive rollers in the North Atlantic during the 2015 TransAt. 50+ knots of true wind at the time if filming. We were getting gusts into the 60's at night, which was absolutely terrifying in the pitch black. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was bought by a guy in San Diego and is called Nereid now. I am doing the off shore stuff with them. We were signed up for Cal Offshore until it was cancelled. I would say there is an 80% chance they do BBS but it will be bit crazy as they have no miles in medium air let alone heavy air. Will be an adventure though!

Meat Wad 564 #86 Posted April 10, 2020 Here is a Wet Wednesday on my boat where the camera is looking backwards. We are doing well until the Spin trimmer lets the sheet out too far and the pole is not trimmed back and we get caught in a round down. go to the 19:00 mark. Yes, I am on the new leeward side and buried under water. The pit falls of not being able to use my legs. Notice the boat in the back ground prior to the round down, sails past us as we founder on our side. I was so pissed as we should have won the race. Oh well, that is Wet Wednesday racing.
