Posted 11 years ago, yet still one of THE best instruction videos, incredible.

[@eugenlucan]

It is easy to criticize, but it takes a lot of work to do! AWESOME JOB, THANK YOU!

[@ZeusAngelblazer]

Filming this same video in 2019 with 360 cameras and 4K quality drone footage. Needs to happen.

[@Mersaul4]

No, visuals is not the point here.

[@kangarookicker6995]

No point. It’s perfectly fine as is.

[@Nickster1234567890]

i love 420's. they're so fun to sail

[@williamduffield4964]

Nicole, you should try the MG14 if you think the 420 is fun.

[@Shane-zb9dc]

This is great. Wish I watched this before my race.

[@ndrougkas]

You are most welcome! This video is for all sailors and coaches who love sailing and would like to sail.

[@williamduffield4964]

Their only doing half a role tack.

[@valeriafdezc]

Great Video thanks a lot for sharing all your knowledge!

[@mimipare1696]

Those “light” winds are heavy compared to where I sail. Some seasons we’re lucky if we even get 5 knots

[@nactac2989]

Damn you need to visit cape town, some 25knot gust will do you good😂

[@Bearintheair]

I'm a newbee to sailing at 50 with a '64 Columbia C-33. This video is awesome! I get that there are different ways to do anything. But this is really well put together and great even for the repetition of the terminology. Thank you so much. I can help with music next time, though. I have a couple buddies that write stuff that would be very cool besides my own stuff....

[@NagarjunKoujula]

Thank you so much for this video

[@ethanmoore1246]

Great sailing! I'm a sailor who is thinking of getting one of these fine boats. I have never trapezed before though. I have a lot of double hand boat sailing experience from laser Bahias and flying 15's. My question is, would you recommend this boat for someone who is experienced at sailing but has never trapezed before?

[@ultraclipz3230]

Did you get the boat?

[@AlexHisky]

32:40 was my favorite

[@veronika5819]

Awesome video!!

[@iBen4G]

Aweome vid. A part from the comment this can help very much. Cheers from Genoa (Yacht Club Italiano) ;)

[@shazdrone]

This was a great piece of knowledge for sailors . thanks for your contribution man

[@giuseppecarbone4774]

[@ndrougkas]

[@Johno91253]

[@ndrougkas]

[@windpowergood]

You have with your video, good job. Thanks

[@ndrougkas]

[@29erUSA128team]

420s are fun and all but i sail 29ers.. A question i have is when you go upwind and ur standing in the middle back on the wire, whats the best way to hold there because every other wave i'd fall foward

[@kevingosselin5444]

at my sailing place

[@bowatmywaesomepower]

what kind of boots should i wear i have a pair of sperries and i keep slipping when i try to get on the trap. any suggestions?

[@mansmarosen7347]

+ethan moore yes great for it

[@ethanmoore1246]

Thanks mate!

[@festivewaffles934]

Ethan Moore if you havent bought a 420 already i would recommend getting a foiling moth. Loads of fun.

[@Nsatiro]

Bravos! muito bem!

[@ndrougkas]

they do wear life jackets under the 420 lycras

[@ExorcusVids]

who gybes with the tiller between their legs? looks slow as, its not that hard to hold the tiller aswell to control the angle out of the gybe.

[@m4hkn0]

What constitutes Medium and High Winds for an i420 ?

[@kylecollins._]

zhik trapeze boots are awsome

[@ndrougkas]

coming up in to the next coming months

[@ryanhexter]

Great!!!

[@manuel_k791]

420 masterrace ;)

[@boenjabib]

I was hoping this would be a dubstep video

[@505KP]

Because it takes skill to do it well.

[@DoolittleSailing]

i love Nautivela! :D

[@rocklee2455]

You guys drop a sponge at 7:12

[@ninagonzales1105]

gill trapeze boots.. they have gripping on them to even when the grip tape is shitty you dont slip at all.

[@lisacalafiore1870]

Cool

[@omerby1998]

[@Jack-rg6xf]

Liked the video and would like it even more without the music. Hard to listen to someone talking over the music.

[@ndrougkas]

[@patriot1632]

[@billkotas]

[@bowatmywaesomepower]

[@sanderpannekoek6556]

[@kwakakak]

Nice vid, but the first tack at 0:35 should have been cut off, if it's a real tutorial

[@JamRadical]

32:40 handstand trapeze

[@robertprzytula1205]

Maks ?...:P

[@windpowergood]

I think I would fire your coach and go with these guys

[@ndrougkas]

please cont me in my email and i will reply to all your comments.

[@KamilaPaszkowska]

470 is man olympic champion chip class another fantastic 200cm longer than woman olympic 420

[@DavidGER2355]

470 ist 470cm long and the 420 ist 420 cm long so not 200cm lnger. by the way the 420 is not olympic class

[@ndrougkas]

if you want i can help you!!

[@evaleggett9998]

+Ethan moore

[@martaradomska252]

Ja nyga nyga

[@NotRyzon]

7:10 They lose a sponge

[@ndrougkas]

there are two different way of gybes, first as you propose and the other one with the tiller between your legs. Both of the ways has positive and negative points in different wind conditions. if you want to discus further please contact me in [e-mail]

[@williamduffield4964]

OMG! LOL

[@SailWarrior]

Greece

[@ndrougkas]

you are absolute right but it is the Intro. did you watch all the video? if you want contact me [e-mail] to discuss further because we are preparing a new project and i would like to get some opinions.

[@kevingosselin5444]

I hate double jibes then you have to stand outside the bout :U

[@brendantedeschi4326]

good vidio but to long

[@ndrougkas]

contact me in ndrougkas gmail.com

[@williamduffield4964]

They are only doing half a role tack. They would come out of the tack much faster if they did the second half of there role tacks.

[@Scrapheap71]

I thought this vid was about something else... :-\

[@ndrougkas]

[e-mail]

[@bowatmywaesomepower]

[@ndrougkas]

please contact me in my email and i have the solution for you

[@alexdoodd]

If you were a real man you would be sailing 49ers.

[@MoD_Master_Of_Disaster_]

Duh, 49ers are for pussies, real men sail IMOCAs. What a sh!t remark dude.

[@coledelong427]

The title is... misleading...

[@kangarookicker6995]

I know the joke but 420 is an internationally recognised dinghy
