420 sailing

just out messing around one day when someone brought in a camera.

edit (1/31/2010): The original audio on this video was Guns 'n' Roses "Welcome to the Jungle". If you have this song in your library, start it when the video starts for timing etc.

Also, this video was old when i uploaded it. If you have a comment to critique us, go for it. But, it;s really a mute point. And, for the record, im the red rashguard, not the black one...

ok, I need help. I am new to 420 racing but I have been sailing my whole life. (I have my own wooden optimist that I have been sailing sice I was five) My racing coach refuses to teach me how to sail downwind with the spinnacker up! He hates 420s and only pays attention to the lazer racers... Can anyone give me any tips or instructions on what I should do to get started? Please? I am desperate!!!

get a different coach, or just do it... Plenty of stuff online for flying spinnakers... Halyard to where the red and green tapes come together, sheets go on the other two corners. Figure it out from there, it wont take long if you've ever seen pictures of boats flying spinnakers (or just look at this video...).

Pul the kicker man

you dont have to have legs tougether while trapezing on broad and beam reaching you can easy lose your balance

My coach says Crew on 420 or 470 on beam or board reching should treapeze like a 10 years working whore :D

[n57825]

Yeah well 5years since this video was made and many regattas and boats later i still trap that way, even on 49er's and 29er's. If the water is flat and you have a sense of balance there is no reason to not get your weight as far out as possible.

i love sailing these things alone, it gets so much more intense. let the trap all the way out, move to the back of the boat, and trap while skipper. i love it, but its so hard

[n57825]

it works much better with 29ers.

[emhache]

dude when u trapeze u shud try close ur legs

[Whoopa12]

Ive sailed both and i still prefer 420.Its is just a brilliant all round boat.

[KidGetsHisShitOwned]

could be more parallel to the water when you trap. and why are your legs so open? and why are your knees bent half of the time? other than that good

[bartsimpson995]

420 is a nice boat, because i sail in this boat ;)

[CashEdmunds]

@Raepper222 who built it?

[CashEdmunds]

Looks insanely slow for the amount of trapeezing being done...

[mikeyquirky]

420 is soooooo much fun!!!! i went out in 29 knots with my dad with me on the wire flying along :D didnt try the spinnaker though!

[kriptoniteXD]

[CottonSox7]
