    What music would I use? Any of these would fit perfectly:

    Mask Movement I PART I ---> /watch?v=3goMMoRppKU

    Or this: Conquest of Paradise ---> /watch?v=_gHZ2eoOk-I

    This would also be great: Mythodea Movement 1 ----> /watch?v=Lr98rwq6YOE

    So would this one: Odes La Dande Du Feu ---> /watch?v=Gxuo5c2UyGg

    Any of the above, much better than the crap used. Take a listen to each, I'm sure you'll agree.

  • @xlr8up

    Mask Movement - Loose the 5 year old on Granny's electric organ and you might be on to something

    Conquest of paradise - does great until it launches into slightly camp, very dated electronica

    Mythodea - I can just about see it

    Odes La Dande Du Feu - wtf? Just no....

    1/4... Not a great selection TBH

  • @TheAviatorPenguin

    Obviously you are a connoisseur of finer music than I.

    In your illustrious opinion, what selections would you use, seeing as you offer no replacements to mine nor provide any advice of your own?

    Begs to wonder how you can piously serve as self-appointed, self-absorbed judge/jury of everyone else's suggestions, without bothering to add your own. LOL!!

    Trollish to the extreme!!

    Defend your position, otherwise your arrogant opinions hold no value whatsoever...

  • @xlr8up I actually quite like'd the original one, so I don't feel the need to add my choice.

    You can't add unsolicited suggestion and expect no-one to actually listen to them and comment. They most certainly do not "fit perfectly".

  • @TheAviatorPenguin

    Then you have no value to add here and are just being a negative troll, so go the fuck away and bother me no more. Blocked.

  • @z06lingin

    My whole point was to compliment to lesterjohnson! My advice to change the music would only serve to benefit the visuals and better immerse the viewer without the distraction of the chaotic speedmetal thrash band, the music chosen simply does not fit the epic visuals.

  • sailing is the best sport ever

  • Brutal realities of hardworking, die-hard yacht racers so passionate about winning the title while wrestling with the wind to tame majestic sailing beauties that it borders on the edge of sanity, and pushes the fiber of human courage and endurance to the very brink, and often times way beyond... Stunning footage to the last!

    ..

    Uploader tip: F- on the music.

    Worst choice ever to illustrate our hearty sport, POD belongs with punkass skateboarding and dirtbike videos, not world-class yacht racing.

  • @xlr8up This is not a bash and I mean no disrespect but i kind of liked it, the song had energy. Not sure it is POD either. Just wondering what you would have picked? If anything. I also would have been happy with the natural sound of man and craft vs the elements as well. I give Lester an A for the effort and time he put in for all of us to see these great clips.

  • I'll be 60 this May and I've sailed Lasers since 1982. I hooked up with some folks racing a 43 ft Serendipity (IOR Warhorse) in San Francisco Bay last year and we did great. Placing in all of the races we entered and taking the Corinthian Yacht Club Midwinters two years in a row. I'm now racing aboard a Tripp 47 - went offshore for the first time 2 weeks ago. We are sched to do more offshore over the next few months. MY ADVICE IS SHOWUP AT REGATTAS AND LOOK FOR FOLKS NEEDING CREW. DO IT!

  • WHAT IS THE NAME OF THIS SONG

  • the band is millecolin but i dont now the song...

  • FAREWELL MY HELL by millencolin

  • wow...this makes me want to sail yachts again. too bad i moved on to the byte and 420 too fast

  • it's like a laser standard...

    but no doubt it's better...

    anything is better than laser

  • It seems to me that the helicopter is pretty far away from the sailing boat, and I doubt the turbulens results in that broach (loosing control of the boat). Allso, the sailing boat has the wind in from port side (left), but the helicopter flyes on the starboard side. To me it seems that the sailing boat hits a bad set of waves, presses the bough down in the next wave, stops, and is pushed up to the surface again over to starboard. And the result is a pretty ugly (or spectacular :) ) broach.

  • I agree with you Buddy !!

  • Here is a question to all the yacht experts, since I don't know too much about yacht racings ;) : To mee it seems that the yacht on 1:25 was hit from the wind from the helicopter that actually made the pictures of it. I've always wondered, how it's possible to fly with helicopters through some yachts without ever causing any trouble with the wind. And shortly before 1:25 the camera flew quite exactly (as it seems to me) above that direction, where the wind for the yacht came from.

  • that spinices luffing so mutch

  • Great footage from high-profile racing (a bit "packaged" though). Got any non-mainstream extreme-sailing videos? Keep up the good work lesterjohnson--thanks!

  • hi what name of this song i sail in laser 4.7 and radial :)

  • Millencolin - Farewell My Hell

  • comeon you cant tell me youre not heavey enough for a full rig i weigh 90

  • At 1:25 the boat isn't as big as you said Kanzler, it is a Mumm 30 (30 feet - 9 meters) ;)

    The video is nice!

  • the name of the sound track
