[FknAtex]

these things just fly upwind, impressive

[frettt2002]

!sigh! i used to have one of these boats, i was the baddest thing in the bay.

[AusIC]

Never too late to get back into them

[frettt2002]

i`d sure like to take one for a sail again, i dont know about those spinakers though, thats some thing new.

[AusIC]

Spinnakers are only really on the UK and a couple of German boats. The rest of the world is either in the one design Nethercott or sailing under the new rules (since 2008) which are a box rule development (like the IC was prior to the Nethercott hull but with an all up minimum weight of 50kg).

[frettt2002]

i remember 15-20 years ago the guy that built my boat (Eric Chase) was playing around with a spinnaker on his boat,

[AusIC]

You should log onto Sailing Anarchy and read this thread: 'DC Designs' to see what guys like Steve Clark and Chris Maas are building

good to see some IC footage appearing at last. Well done. The Regatta looked good.

[ICStiletto256]

I would like to say thank you cause i think that is the best video of me sailing ever!!

[redherring1029]

[AusIC]

Rob really 'sent it' with wonk on that pitchpole!

Pretty varnished boats - AUS 7(IC), AUS 9 (IC), AUS 21 (DC - Una Rig), All varnished rosewood deck GER .

I'm getting access to some software to make better vids for uploading.

Cheers

I just used music that goes through my head when I'm sailing (have to use Spiderbaits 'F*&^ing Awesome' soon)

[Rattus17]

johns boat really slides through the water nice

[Rattus17]

that was really cool

[AntonHu]

Some nice footage. Unlike some sailing vids though, the music doesn't to my mind complement it; I'd rather have had some more commentary.
