29er SAILING 35KTS

Joe and I were going to sail the moth, but after it nearly blew off the dock we settled for the 29er. Wind out of the North at RYC 25-35kts. Absolutely insane Wednesday night race!! Song link / amelia

Nice sailing!

[@zenoheilmann7829]

I love the perspective because I usually don't get to see it from there as a helm

Thanks for posting the first person experience! Am about to go on a 29er for the first time in a few days. Really good to see! (A laser sailor here, and a light one)

agree with comments below, not close to 35-40 knots. Maybe 20-22 knots max. At 40 knots the water is basically lifting by itself.

Really cool!!!

[@emmalvg]

U laughing and having that much fun >>>

[@fabio.buonaiuto5802]

this max is a 12/15 kn certainly not 40 kn

[@NeilMarcellini]

I agree that it wasn't 40, but it was definitely over 15. The report from the day showed 25-35kts as I wrote in the description.

[@elitefire5715]

Nice transitions!

[@owenson2611]

If that's 40knots your wind tally must be broken

[@JJ-wp5yc]

I think there aren't more than 20 knots

[@ianb9028]

No 35 barely 15. I have sailed 49ers and 29ers … at a windspeed of 25+ kts in a 29er with a kite up, the forward hand has one foot behind the skipper.

Awesome video! I have been looking around for some new anti skid grip for the wings on my 29er but i can’t find the stuff that you guys use. Do you remember the name of the stuff you use on this boat or on your newer 29er? Thanks!
