E Scow A Go Go

Speeded up in the editing room ;-)

You can never tell accurately how hard a breeze is blowing in pictures or videos. 2008 Nationals at Chatauqua it blew 15-20 and in the pictures it looked like 5-10. Stop commenting on the breeze and realize how fast he's friggin going. All of us would have been holding onto our nuts praying we don't die

[killdac]

even though we own like 3 e scows Ive yet to be out on one in this kind of wind Ive been out on an I-20 In 35mph wind with and extra and we had that thing doing very close to 40mph with an extra 1000+ pounds of water in the cockpit lol

[howejohn1]

you guys got balls. seriously. now imagine that with an a-symmetrical spinnaker

[pbr2424]

Portsmouth rating 72. Thats fast.

[TomStormcrowe]

Man, that looks fun! I sail both E's and I boats here in Indiana.

[BDKAFER1]

I don't care if its 20 k or 35 , its still flying . Is the board humming? Is the rigging and hull humming? How about 2 traps and clete it in a little tighter...

Now I'm sailing a big old boat that may get 5.5 k



[TheSunfishgod]

this was before e-scows flew asymetrical chutes could you imagine a conventional spinaker on a day like this? I sail sunfish on the toms river and when you get the north east you can easily get a boat like that going pretty damn fast

[EnjoyWindPower]

you should have put the chute up.

[markmisch]

in 35 knots that mast would of been in 2 pieces

[porpoisefathom]

thats not 35 knots...18 maybe...

[Schneebuddy]

If I ever do a video I will remember to stay on the windward side, or the aft windward quarter. Good place for a onboard camera too.

[deathpunchz]

why the fuck did john raife send me a link to this?

[Schneebuddy]

On our boat when we are at the very top end of our speed the centerboard starts humming.

[tbillz]

Wow! You can hear the stays humming. You know its blowing hard when you can hear the stays.

[Schneebuddy]

I really like this class however, you would always be looking for people who do not mind getting a little wet.

ROFL PLANEING OR PLOWING W/ STYLE ROFL still that s like a supersized laser w/jib

[iluvElishaCuthbert]

nuthin lik a laser. more like a fuckin topper

[plaanaa]

I think they mean 35 knots of wind, speed is irrelevant...maybe it's 25, maybe not.

This vid is very cool!

[ScrumMonkey]

That's fast, but I'm sorry it just aint 35kts. 20, 25 maybe, but it aint 35.

[mikesaldi]

thats easily 30

[FirsTakeVideo]

this boat is not good for circumnavigation. There isn't enough room for your stuff, not even for a tv.

[robb322]

in other words, it's not the minivan of sailboats. thank god.

[ghu99]

weeyy looks like gr8 fun gr8 vid

[missatgess]

good video

do you have a good sponsor for buy a new sails after that? hehehe

[GunneLPercher]

Why am I sitting here instead of doing that?

[Kupferonkel]

That's the same thing I was asking myself right now! :D

[cap10ed]

Now that is a fast scow!

[shwell]

excellent

[intiminator27]

last summer we ran into a 50 knot gust on an e-scow and the short time before it made us crash was soo fast. The crash shredded our main and bent our mast
