  • What a classic. I had this video when I was a kid and it was always a hit on those rainy sailing camp days.

    I love the high tech sailing clothes...jeans and sweatshirt with gofast headband.

  • Hi Thanks

  • Love this jibe at 1:50!!!

  • @Iamnotaemo no they didn't. tactics were a lot different then. lets see u try this!

  • I love the roll reefed sails... anyone here ever tried that? its not fun. also the 4 digit sail numbers are sweet 182416 right here!

  • WOOOOO HOOOOOO!!! I loved those days, and I just read SF is back in August! Any of my Long Island Sound fleet buddies out there??? john gogol 18264 here! 1978-82 miss my pals Chris Lent, Mark Page and my instructors, god the parties were great!! I'm windsurfing the gorge in Oregon, since 89, nuclear winds every day, huge air!!!

  • @xxololcrap (im imamnotaemo just changed my acount) one they rnt sailing with full rigs two i sail 29ers. ive sailed a 29er in 35 knots raceing and havent capsized as much as these guyz do and i know its slalom which is different. but still. and yes i hav sailed a full rig laser in these kinds of winds b4. i must admit though my comment was childish. what i should have said is wow the laser techniques have changed alot since those days

  • @Iamnotaemo how often have you sailed in laser in those winds, with normal sails?

  • lamnotaemo,id like to see u try and sail in 40 knots of wind in a full rig. it would be funny to see wat happens.

  • i like the way they reduced sail area, might try that next time my local club race is over 25kts
