Thanks for posting. Ahh the memories. I've sailed a lot of regattas and this one remains the most extreme regatta I have ever raced in. Incredible fun!!

@FknAtex: FD's are up to day the fastest two man dinghy. It gets only beaten by the modern Skiffs...

to FDNED334... sorry mate but this race was won on the water by the Destremau's Brothers. They were then disqualified and second placed Forster was declared the winner of this epic race.

Great song. Far out, these things have got some pace. How do they compare to a flying fifteen?

wow thats.......WOW

@1:28 World Champions in 1989 Alba Batzill and Peter Lang

@ 2:08 ISR 11 Joel Sela and Eldad Amir going in for a monster Jibe @ 2:29. Went on to win this 8-9 Bft race to show their skills in the FD with strong winds.

Notice that all these Olympic competitors in 1992 never hesitated to hoist that spi, even in these monstrous conditions.

That looks like a brutal day of sailing.
