Created by Patrick Rynne. The Ultimate Sailing Showdown between Brad Funk (Moth), Damien Leroy (Kite), Kent Marinkovic (Kite), Garry Menk (Kite), Alex Bishop (49er), and Valen Smith (49er).
Great video, really enjoyed it. Agree that this wasn't really playing to the 49er's strengths but still a good comparison of three very different craft. Now lets see Moth vs kite foilboard!
guys, it's an awesome video, but the comparison is not possible.
Or at least to make it fair you'll have to do different races in different wind conditions. The 49er needs a bit more wind to perform at his best, and would also be interesting to see the three competing over 20 knts. AND i think that the kite should choose one sail and use always that in any wind condition... changing the dimension of the kite in relation to the wind strenght... too easy!
Amazing video. I had no idea a moth was that fast. Incredible.

Anyways, i agree that the 49er will likely be always last... but at least would be more interesting.
