worst sailing ever-.-

Esse é o problema nos esportes a vela no brasil, o custo é muito alto e vc só pode aproveitar quando já esta velho de mais para curtiri... ou nascer em familia rica heheheh

You capsized in less than ten knots of wind?
EPIC FAIL

.... i kinda did it 10 times the day i sailed in it..

why don't you guys have that jib up for a while??

I tried a Vago today and I really appreciated it. Very unstable, but reacts to all changes of weight. A bit too slow upwind, incredibly fast downwind with gennaker pumping in front of it. Hope I will learn as soon as I can to sail it properly ;)

those look like great conditions!

mate, just to let you know that you are sailing that boat like a rear main. its a centre main and therefore you should adapt your grip on the tiller extension. it needs to be held in a 'dagger' position as opposed to a 'frying pan' grip.
It'll feel very wrong for a long time but eventually you'll sail much better and look like you know what you're doing. e mail me if you want any mmore advise.

Thanks WC81! I had noticed that watching the last Olimpics.
Will start my adaptation next time I'm on the water...
Thanks again,

erm not to sure if he actually did capsize then... looked more like he dropped the camera, he wasn't very wet and i guess he would have at least got his hat wet if he had gone in. meh-cool boat though, there's better vids of it on here that show it better.

Man, belive me. I did capsize on this video. Nothing terrible...just swam around and climbed the centerboard, that's why my hat was not (very) wet.
As I write this I'm on a holyday and in 3 days put in a solid 8 hours of Vago sailing. Nothing to complain about...
