12 foot skiff

[12SkiffSailor]

I know for certin this is a 12 foot skiff- its a Woof design Hull.

12 foot skiff measure as R class with their smallest righ on, although they are shorter and heavier. The R class are now in foils, so look very different to this.

yes it is Wellington, it was at the interdomonions several years ago and the racing was called off. in true skiff style, a send it contest was held.

The crash was cuased by the rescue boat being in the way.

fuck wits. its in wellington and its a cherub hull with an r class rig

[chimpornator]

pretty sure its an R class honking it outside evan's bay in wellington :) just got myself a cherub, so I know its not one of those. the last NZ cherubs have a smaller non masthead gennaker, I plan an upgrade :D

[falconxh4000]

its a manly junior you idiots! look at the boom and spinnaker pole.

[kibsr18]

sorry, but your wrong it's R class have a look at the class symbol on the sail.

[potsy231983]

it's a 12 you donkey, cherubs 1) they aren't that quick 2) they only have one trapeze.

P.S.12 sailing rules

[Titchie92]

Calm down. 1) Its not a cherub it an R-class

2) It almost measures as a cherub, and trust me they can go that quick

3) Cherubs do have twin trapeze.

[bwv1984]

[hykehamontour]

[86lumpy86]

its a 12 foot skiff with a R class main. its in wellington my home town

[shortattentionspan1]

Life and sailing "on the edge" - what a rush!!! yes?

[yachtie2k4]

hey seg2, its a R class as baleeted said. its almost exactly the same as the 12 except the sail area is restricted unlike the 12's

[jpschof]

Is it me or is the powerboat in the way to prevent them bearing away and therefore caused the capsize?

[pingsailing]

Cool stuff Maynard. You just knew it was gonna end up that way from the first frame. I used to windsurf and it's sometimes easier to save the board than save the boat. More control, ya know.

[tarifa37]

I windsurf, and that looked like winsurfing but on a boat!!!

[kookykaymo]

thats a 49'er. yes?

[baleeted]

its an "R" class

[Kingsleyfs]

I just love "nearly in control" sailing, you don't get a better thrill.
