Great Video Ben

[@DukerC]

Man Open Bics are really starting to get big. I saw a small fleet at a regatta here in the states about last weekend. They seem like an interesting alternative to the opti.

[@morgansingleton4879]

Amazing as usual

[@edwardgames750]

Im racing in the worlds next year.Last year i also competed in the states at saftey beach i came 9th over all with world champ coming first

[@markfulton5824]

Great video again, what programs do you use for post production.

[@romaindubost3851]

Cool cette vidéo.😃💜

[@malekofes5041]

Best video, you are my favourite sailing KZbin channel and I inspire to be like you. What camera equipment do you use. Do you use a stabilizers or how do you get such smooth shots You should do a behind the scenes

[@sailingshack]

Cheers Maleko, when filming on the water we use a long go pole with the gopro, also for the Canon 7d footage we usually film with the camera attached to a small light tripod to help stop the shakiness. Furthermore - the footage is also stabilised in post production :) We'll be doing more behind the scenes stuff in the future!

Cheers Tony!

[@chrisbateman4194]

Hi, I have a canon 7d for filming from a rib or coachboat, just wondering what type of lens you would use? Great video btw

[@sailingshack]

Cheers Chris, We use a Tamron 18-270mm lens, it's sorta average but does the job :)

[@chicomouchoir]

isaf should replace optis with o'pen boats

[@azlokang]

No fucking way the opti is way harder and better to sail

[@lucymillar7543]

@@azlokang fuck yes they fucken should. youre a fucken weirdo

[@MontyD]

@@azlokang optis are designed to scare kids away from sailing I've just realised how hypocritical this is

[@malekofes5041]

Just another quick question what program do you use for post production

[@sailingshack]

Final Cut Pro X

[@nagow_360]

Hi I've recently started sailing and i am wondering what type of boat the kids are sailing in your video

[@SolNationGaming]

Llama Power O'Pen Bic's are the name of them

[@nagow_360]

ok thx

[@Joelija]

If there actually was anyone who sailed this in the netherlands this would be my boat!

[@patrikmedveczki4765]

Music?

[@sailingshack]

Guess you didn't watch to the end! It's right there!

[@shanedowney6503]

I am a junior sailer

[@alexiswestland1829]

If only there were o'pen bics in California ;( We only have opts, lasers, 420s, and CFJs

[@Pyromanemac]

Alexis Westland These kids are going harder than some of the high school and college sailors out here. They also look like they are having more fun at this regatta, which is awesome. Looking to bring this to SoCal in particular.
