The 3rd sail - the screecher, makes this a 20 knot boat downwind. But you have to sail it correctly to get the best out of it. The boat isn't automatic - you have to work hard to make it really go.
There are other mistakes regarding weight. The hull weight of the RS Zest (either selection#1 or #2, I forget which) is over 70kg. That’s over 150lbs. I think this video said something like 120lbs. Much too low. The RS Aero weight is also inaccurate. But I don’t remember the Aero’s exact specs. Only that it’s heavier than what’s stated here. Other than those few mistakes, this is an excellent video.
I'm sorry to hear about your negative experience with sailing clubs. It's important to find a community that enhances your love for boating. Could you share more about your experiences and what led you to this conclusion?
@@HarbourMastersTV Toxic Parents who thought their darling kids were going to the Olympics. Here’s how Sailing clubs run in New Zealand. Most of them are run/controlled by families who think their kids are going to the big time. Other families are just fodder, paying subs to cover the cost of coaching for the selected few kids. All other kids get pushed to the side and forgotten about while the chosen ones get all the attention. And it doesn’t stop there……. High Performance Sport NZ is just as sick, it’s a small closed shop. Picking and choosing who’s in and who’s out. Sailing in New Zealand is all about the Olympic classes as there’s limited money and resources. No other classes get a look in, Ever! We were screwed over by little entitled bitches and mothers, ruined my sons sailing experience. Luckily he had other interests and is academically motivated so will have a great career. But I feel sorry for other families who have been screwed over as they didn’t fit the mould. Goes right up the ladder to Olympic selection, NZ is a very sick corrupt place to do sport, especially if you want to go to the top level.

I don't know because I can get a 60 foot yacht for over $5000 too.
Yeah right. The boat is what we say Busted out another thousand.
I will buy old dinghies for pennies.
These will one day be old
@@splashpit yeah my man
Please state metric so the rest of us understand
Mistake on weight of Neo - no way it's 41 lbs!
Its 141 lbs
That's what I was thinking!
41 lbs. with over 60 sq. ft. of main sail would be insane!😂

When I just started the wind was so bad that when I hiked the boat flipped and I somehow ended up on the top😅
We was saling on a Puffer an hit heads on de bommer sheat...we stuck wid out windey..paddlin in we hadto poop inde buket cuz if we stucout after daerk
Forget that Hobie trimaran. Sails badly, too much technical features. Nearly impossible to make repairs.
No.1 piece of advice! Stay away from sailing clubs, they are toxic.

I am in a club since I was 7 and I would disagree you just need to find a good club
