  • Did 19.2 knots in a 29er today! On Lake Burley Griffin, Canberra, Australia.

    I never thought a 29er could crank as hard as this 49er, but there you go.

  • @Husuf1 29er is not much slower than 49er. however the downwind angle of the 49er is much deeper. And they are not up to full speed on this video because of the waves.

  • @ivanbulaja whats the harder boat to sail compared with the 29er and 49er

  • @graffitiworldclass 49er is 1000 times harder. It is not a boat which you want to have just for fun. You have to practice a lot just to be able to get out on the water and back in.

  • 40-50 knots? In your dreams... Fastest boat on the planet reached 51Knots last month. It was a foiler trimaran named hydroptre.

    There is no way a 49er could reach 50 knots with the current design.

    Nice speed for an I-20 scow tho!

  • @orsay193942 where in qc do u live i am not giving out my name

  • @graffitiworldclass I'm looking for a crew in qc, who are u?

  • @ivanbulaja Well actually the 49er is a lot more stable than a 29er. The thing, over 20knt, the supersize sails of the 49er make it extremely hard to control and putting the bow down when you are bearing off. The 29er can stand a lot more wind than the 49er. ....and it will cost you the third of the price.

  • @ivanbulaja ohh shit cause im on the quebec 29er sailing team and im looking into 49er but im not sure if i should and it is really that hard to sail wow

  • @xylady2 49er top speed goes around 22-24kts and for this you need perfect conditions (absolutely no waves).
