Look regardless if it was actually 35 or not, just look at the water, there IS a fair amount of wind. Its not like the water is mirror flat. The mainsail is depowered so many times to keep the boat up. I do give it to these guys for sailing in these conditions. Lets ignore the fact that the wind speed is debatable and focus more on the enjoyment of watching two sailors having a blast in a good blowin ;)
@ MarieJolie09 if you have to ask you probably wont like it. for me sailing and speed are the best things ever and only if you love sailing and this kind of speed will you put up with the hard work that comes with sailing this boat.

to the people who done believe this is 35 knots your idiots. look at the upwind shots, both main and jib ragging and still looking to depower. and that crew looks big! nice boat work guys
Yeah this really does not look like 35 knots. High 20s maybe getting into the 30s in the shots where it is really capping.
It is definitely possible to sail a 29er in over 35 knots, but it gets pretty messy. I remember 1 day where they cancelled racing during the 2005 worlds in the bay. Race committee abandoned after solid 35+ and a 30 second gust of 47 knots. Needless to say everyone tried to go for a hoist, a few even made it. None stayed up the whole way downwind.
@tjeerd29er its hard to belive coz the water doesnt looks so bad but look at the sails, and remember its a lake.. dont think they use to get 2 meter waves in a lake..
@tjeerd29er the reason you don't think it's 35 kn is because the lack of fetch on that body of water doesn't allow for the waves to build up very much.

35 knots average is to much for any sailer to handle on a skif or dinghey, 29 is the max i reckon.

If the instrument says 35knots I don't have reason to say it was 25....
The guys were handling quite well, and coz of that it looks less wind!
tvacondio 1 year ago 5
Some the bullets may of been 35 but champ, i have sailed in 35 and it didnt compare with this, im guessing this is somewhere around the 25 mark.
Anyways, your sailors might have not so good boat handleing yet but when they get to sail in this breeze more they will pick up the right technique

cool video. You really get to see the boat do its stuff. Are the sails on this handled the same way as they are on a hobie 16?

Whatever the wind speed actually is, it's way easier on a lake like Garda without much waves to talk about.
