49er Sailing Auckland

[quickskopznz]

weta's are $15,000 ughh and you can get a gbe for $20??/?

[hagenar]

LOL at porpoisefathom.

[softairFrank]

hey man, love your work!

i heard Line7 is gone?

doing some 29er sailing in berlin!

[tarcoman]

they are the olympic class for a reason

[porpoisefathom]

why not add outriggers? then you have a tri? dont need to heel so much and more stable?

[5FishBoy5]

because you would have to completely redesign the entire boat.

[joelvdvies]

wat??? that makes no sense.

[tarcoman]

whoa you really dont understand the concept of these boats

[porpoisefathom]

yeah easy concepts- they plane off at a certain speed- they use a counterbablance- human - to counter the effect of the center of effort on the keel or the force vector acting sideways to keep the boat losing its initial stabilitywhich might cause it to roll over or capsize. lol--you should check out the WETA trimaran. its the same idea. its a skiff redesigned to use floats to counter the forces rather than humans hiking way the fuck outboard...it wouldnt need a keel. and less drag resistance.

[superzkid]

@porpoisefathom tri sux. no fun. heeling is what makes a monohull a monohul! its AWESOME! more of a challenge too! only pussies who are scared of a little water sail tris

[porpoisefathom]

id still add outriggers ..i love the weta design. its a combo of monohull with the tris stability and speed. points higher too than a standard tri...sitting in a cockpit looks more fun to me than leaning out over the waves all day long getting soaked for hours...but hey to each thier own

[Alexlando17]

@porpoisefathom hahah have you ever sailed a boat before???we live for leaning out over the waves at high speed!!!

[himjimbim]

that'd be blair?

[defleppard10294]

blair harkin?

[himjimbim]

tuke, splash world dude

[ollylegg]

these guys make the 49er look so easy!

[Putonyourfknshoes]

tried one today. i remember reading this comment last week and thinking.. how hard can it be.. famous last words..

those things are so hard to sail lol

[ollylegg]

lol =p- they must be alot harder with the new bigger rig lol

[Putonyourfknshoes]

i chose to sail the older rig but they had both there. apparently even though the new rig is bigger the old rig is quicker. which makes sense because people have been perfecting that set up for close to 10 years!

good fun though.

way harder than i expected

[ollylegg]

lol =], what do you normaly sail?

[Putonyourfknshoes]

i sail a 13 foot skiff which is just a beefed up 29er pretty much. 3 days a week, and in january ill be on one of these another 2 days a week! full on from here on it haha

[ollylegg]

nice, so is sailing your job?

[Putonyourfknshoes]

nah.. im a student. but im keeping my options open! what do you sail?

[ollylegg]

haha, lasers lol. If your a student how do you have enough time to sail 5 days a week?

[Putonyourfknshoes]

ahaha thats what i used to sail. radial or full rig?

im on holidays now. soon i will have to cut it back to 4 days a week:( its a hard life//

[ollylegg]

radial atm, im only 14. And i get 2 days a week max lol. How do you even get 4 days as a student, loads of frees lol?

[THEISJ90]

freestyler by bomfunk

[xdrtw12]

moja wymazona klasa. teraz 470 od niedawna tez zajebiście jest. :D

[hughchapman]

hey, just wondering if that was a southerly or a westerly? also, were there many dolphins around that day for you to hit?

[shift123]

yeh its self tacking, not sure about weight though, if you're to light get a RS800, they're much better!!

[chopperman92]

Hey does anyone know if it has a self tacking jib?

and what the recomended weight for one of those beasts?

[caspareltoyboy]

Recommended crew weight is between 130kg and 175kg, if you're too light then there's always the 29erXX (twin trapeze version of the 29er with a massive rig) - awesome boat. The jib's are self tacking on the 29er, 49er and 29erXX.

[caspareltoyboy]

Crew weight should be between 135kg to 175kg, if you're too light the 29erXX is a twin trapeze 29er with a huge rig - it was specifically designed for light crews who couldn't handle the 49er - awesome boat. All the niners have self tacking jibs.

[javperfe]

sailingggggggggggggggggggggggg­gg

[avphj]

[tedhair11]

[scottillingworthnzl]

mark looks like a pro sailor. what a bad ass. that jib is pretty cutty aye. got the noodle sticks cranking. It should show some bails too thats what people like to see

[adamtmca]

this song is terrible, you have no taste in hip hop "im the freestyler straight from the top of my dome i rock rock rock the microphone?" stfu and listen to someone who can rhyme

[drjoefo]

This is a good song, really sets the mood, gets you into the frame of mind for this kinda stuff. Great choice!. Oh and the sailing is wicked aswell :D!
