New J80 try out

[2far2drive]

Your pretty brave to be on the spin sheet with no gloves at those speeds.

I am buying a J/80 this fall. Now I see the reason for the huge cockpit drains!! :-)

[Purjetaja]

Nice boat... What could be the price of one of those?

[weste700]

about 50.000 euro

i just got a j 80 and we were sailing in 30 plus knots yesterday duing top speed of 22 knots and wipedout going downwind and ripped our spin. but all in all amazing boats.

Ziet er goed uit, J-tjes zijn heerlijke schuitjes!

[FrancisSUI025]

Wow... Great video. We sail with a esse 850 in Switzerland and we like that kind of downwind videos.

Go hard or go home.

can you tell us the Wind speed? we got j80 to but never sail all that hard xD you guys are just crazy :D (ment possitive)

[weste700]

the J80 has no windmeter, but the forecast was 20 to 30 knots. Since this J80 was brandnew we hadn't calibrated the speedometer. Calibration by means of a GPS told us -15% (unfortunately)

[weste700]

Thanks, and yes it was a big thrill

[YmirJunior]

Nice video and a lot of fun.

[minitin]

20 knots? what did you smoke?

[weste700]

smoke is the right word. It went smoking fast

[minitin]

You shouldn't get te spinnaker sheet on the upwind winch... and there are not twenty knots...

[weste700]

I´ll pass on you´re advice, can we perhaps finish for once second instead of the boring first place. And we´ll definitely have the speedometer calibrated.....
