12 foot skiff speed

[justin76bmw]

speed greed! the only way to release the mainsheet is by prying it out of my cold dead hand! i fucking love it!

[kless001]

woah!!

[thrunobulax1]

Now that's sailing with commitment, nice to see

Ignore the posts about how you had the sails wrong, or you were too far back or forward......you were out there sailing the sucker!

[SirFinbarr]

Grouse, makes me want to get out there.

[ofwbaker]

tbh they were too far back in the boat, if they were a foot forward the boat would be much easier to control, atm all thats happening is they're allowing too much air under the bow which is causing them to be flung up and down.

[cgrscott]

It looks like a Lightning sail boat, modified with a bow stem. Impressive and brave sailing.

[snowboarder140]

yea sick vid!

btw, did u guys have the main reefed down at all?

[dontparme]

@snowboarder140 i think they must have because the kite is about a foot higher up the mast than the mainsail is..

[xROLLINDICEx]

@dontparme for 12's, there are multiple rig sizes, for varying wind conditions. the sail they were using was small, because it was windy. the kite is always masthead though.

[RubinHood007]

crazy and fool

you are my idol!!!!!!

the name of the skiff???

[maxendenia]

so lucky mast didnt broke...

[TheHungarianNoodle]

wrf thats crazy



[lego720]

now thats a monohull that looks fun as hell!

[1DanielChristensen]

could be faster if that front sail was tight and not flopping. And it ain't near pitchpoling so it could be faster.

[Evileater]

ure a douche go sail a 12 n then comment about how hard theyre driving it

[tarcoman]

pony rigs today boys

[SpeedsterDEN]

[BIGFOOTGAVIN]

[jackbreislin]

[lukejsoren]

that is SICK! what a ride ,....i wonder if i can put shis on my tri....lol

[cherub2972]

boing, boing, boing!! haha

[gavincaporn85]

12fts look pretty sick and outta control, def require handling skill. good vid.

[Titchie92]

theres rules on main area so they just have a extra foot on the mast to fit a bigger kite

[jamie99756]

looks like they got the smaller rig on there

or they didnt pull the sail all the way up?!

[ShruikanShade]

Probably they just didnt hoist the last foot or so of sail and reefed the bottom to the boom.

Is there a smaller rig for the 12ftr?

[boardsailor]

Mainsail looks like a windsurf rig w/o a foot. That skiff looks unmanageable compared to a windsurfer or kite surfing rig. Also looks like Big Fun! WoooHooooo!

[peanuttis]

HAHAHA!!! that thing looks like it wants to fly! :D

[ustadsami]

I wonder what the capsized sailor was thinking as you guys were flying by him.

[souta3056]

errr... have u seen how windy that is. a 12ftr is insane in 20knts, let alone like 25knts. its not as easy as it looks.

[skiff294]

lol you cant just "hold on" to them....

[haggiss]

i take it youve never sailed a 12 footer then =P
