  • EXCELLENT!

    what lenght are they?

  • Hello big boat sailor,

    the IOM (green white) has LoA=1m (International One Meter class) and the Graupner Saphir (black white)has LoA=95cm

  • You cannot reef model sails, so you have to change sails or the complete rig to a smaller one (from A-Rig to B or C) with less mast height and sail area.

    With IOM it is not allowed to change keel fin and/or lead bulb, but with Micro Magic or Saphir it is recommended to do this.

    The Saphir in the film has mounted a C-rig and a deeper keel fin for stronger winds.

    Greetings from Germany to France (where the ocean racers live ... lol)

  • that black one is super fast downwind!

  • Nice to see the boats sailing without the distraction of so-called dramatic or hip music.

  • thank you very much!
