Extreme Sailing Costa Rica Shannon

[sailingcruiser25]

The boat looks like it's handling the wind ok, but it's also a short video. Myself I would of put in atleast a single reef. Why beat on your boat when you can go just as fast with less sail?

[edwardkiernan]

20 knots, max.

These winds are called "Popagayo Winds" and blow from the end of December thru March. You double reef the main, use a storm jib and a small staysail and you can sail with the boat under optimum forces - fast but safe. Ask anyone that has sailed Northern west Costa Rica. If your boat is rigged right and you know what you are doing, its fun, fast, but relatively safe. Here we were rounding Punta Elena with 4 clients. We made it look easy. Charter us for 2-3 days & you will see if it is bull.

Extreme???? Excuse me

[xamarilys]

18 to 20 knots max, we call that a nice breeze !!!

Es una tomadura de pelo

[ungusfungus]

this is really stupid...

[wildwindsca]

childs play, try lake arenal at 30 knots and 6 foot cliff chop.

[synimrodel]

40 knots 10 foot in a 30 footer

[mrisch24]

very funny...52' Swan in 60 knots...good comedy

[mrisch24]

ugh...not 60 knots and Swan never made a center cockpit boat. geez

[ghurkas123]

This yacht is not sailing in 60knots of wind thats just total bullshit. Probably your windinstrument malfucntioned and it was supposed to say 16knots of wind... I also happen to know that SWAN is a finnish brand and their yachts are amongst the priciest in the world. If it really is a SWAN on the pics its a disgrace to the shipbuilder and should be sunk.

Stuff gets more extreme in my 420. Thats a sad excuse for extreme by any means

[schwarzmichael]

This has nothing to do with extreme sailing,poor guys

[jeffzee]

This is not extreme sailing at all, its just a nice day with a good breeze, not a bad thing, but certainly not what i was excpecting when i clicked on an extreme sailing link!!

[Kaptainrdean]

60 knts of breeze and your on the wind with both heads'l and what appears to be the whole main. The waves are about three foot high and no one seams to be bothered by spray, warm weather or not. Your exaggerateing massively my friend.

[waynesail]

That boat ended up on the bottom of Flamingo bay where it belonged. Bad maint. and a total peice of shit for a boat. Looked just great with the mast sticking out of the water.

[jmjr2424]

u know wat u mother fucker thats a swan 52 cutter rigged sloop (taiwanesee) only 9 in the world and that boat is sailing again! so u shut the fuck up!

[waynesail]

Your Dad is a crook and you are a little foul mouthed uneducated loser living in a 3rd world country going nowhere. I looked at your profile, and you can't even spell at the 3rd grade level. Country day school my ass....

Do some fucking maint. on that piece of shit boat. The decks look like crap. You should be embarrassed to charter it. Calling it a Swan. Give me a break. You should have never re floated it after it sank. Please tell us how it sank.

[jmjr2424]

it sank couse the fucking guy thats takes care of the boat dident show up u ass hole

[sprothan2]

Er - he's right - not very extreme at all....

[feined]
