i remember meeting you guys at worlds in melbourne i think, you kicked my arse haha

and yourdeadfriend1, 95 pounds, thats what, like 45 kilos?

i started in 29ers when i was 14 and 54 kgs

if you can find a big crew you should be right.

good luck with your sailing mate.

[Sorenwk]

You where at the Worlds? You should gave said hello. Hehe we did do good at the nationals, but the actual worlds could have been better, ended up being 8, but hey it's still the best danish performance at a WC, so it's good.

Take care, and race well. heh

[Danontheedge]

Hey guys great Video!!

54kgs is that towards the lighter range of sailors???

What would be the be the average crew/ skipper wieghts you guys are sailing?

Im a skipper and weigh 69kg and my crew is 65kg we are looking at doing the worlds nxt year but are we to heavy to be competitive??

[yourdeadfriend1]

you two are really good.

and lucky too, that you get to sail so often.

here i only get to sail from july until september.

i've been wanting to sail 29'ers for a while just i worried about my weight and age.

also my club refuses to buy any 29'ers,

so now i have to save up and get one myself.

[sebialber]

haha welcome in the club, our sailing club refused to buy a 29er too;)Now I sail Laser and 420

[yourdeadfriend1]

what club are you from?

and i used to sail Lasers but i moved up haha.

[sebialber]

in a sailing club in Germany. I sail Laser Standard right now but I m a way too light. So I try to get a sponsor for a Radial sail.

[yourdeadfriend1]

i hate the whole weight thing, i'm way to young and to light to sail 420's but i do anyways :]

[Sorenwk]

How old are you then? Cause i started sailing 29'er at the age of 14, and my weight then was like 55 or something.

[yourdeadfriend1]

i just turned 13 a few months ago.

[josephsalsbury]

@Sorenwk Are you the helm or crew? My helm is 16 but was 14 when we started and weighed about the same... As long as you have a big-boned crew like me :D

[Sorenwk]

@josephsalsbury I'm the crew, but i'm sailing 470at the moment, don't know for how long any more me and my helm is splitting up after sailing together for 5 years now.

[yourdeadfriend1]

you guys are really good.

and lucky that you get to sail so much,

i only get from july until september.

i've wanted to sail 29er's for a while now i'm just worried that i don't weigh enough and that i'm to young,

plu my club refuses to buy any 29er's so i have to save up and buy my own.

[yourdeadfriend1]

you guys are really good

i want to sail 29er's so badly

but my club wont buy one, so i'm saving up.

right now i'm stuck with 420's

i'm jsut worried about my weight and age

also you're really lucky that you get to sail so much, my sailing season only goes from july until september.

[Sorenwk]

Yeah we are, we lay alot of time in it. How old and what are your wheight? To bad the club won't buy any 29'ers cause it is the ultimate 2 persoen dinghy there is! Is it because it is a club boat you are sailing in since you season isn't longer?

[yourdeadfriend1]

ahh sorry it posted three times, it wasn't showing up.

and i'm only thirteen, and i weigh about 95 pounds.

well this year i'm starting race team with my boat club, we have levels and it' really confusing. and the reason my club wont buy any other type of boat is that we still have some nutshells (i don't know if you know what those are) that the little kids sail and we are trying to get better boats for them. also i don't own the 420 i sail, but i do own a shark but i don't sail it.

[Sorenwk]

Would be very cool to see some of the German teams at our regattas and wintercamps.

[munitxoxo]

i would love to take my 29er over to germany and do kiel week...

we will see how i go in nats and worlds this year

[Sorenwk]

We are going to the Worlds in Melbourne next year, we had also scheduled, goining to the nats but unfortunatly i can't, go that early, but we are still comming to the Worlds. But maybe my skipper i going to find a crew for the Nats.

[sebialber]

I want to buy a 29er too but I have to find some sponsors. They are damn fast this boats

[Sorenwk]

Sponsors are VERY hard to find, well in Denmark it is, haven't got much luck, untill recently. :-)

[sebialber]

yeah I noticed already but we are already in contact with some companies. Let´s hope the best and if it doesn´t work I have to sail a 420:( but better than nothing

[Sorenwk]

Okay. Sad if you have to sail the 420 hehe. Where are you from, and have you tried the 29'er before.

[sebialber]

I m from south west germany, I sailed in one time but there wasn´t much wind, not to say there was NO wind. But I think we will do it with the sponsorship. Are there some races in Denmark for the 29er?

[Sorenwk]

Alot every weekend untill October but then starts the winter camps which is also almost every weekend.

[Sorenwk]

Yeah. I sail the 29'er alot.

[marcobrancher]

thanks.....you are a 29er sailor??

[marcobrancher]

what music is that?

[Sorenwk]

It's a band called The Offspring who made the song, the songs name is Americana
