EXTREME SAILING (Best of)

Collection of the best dinghy sailing clips. Wtch the end for an EPIC Gybe.

[@thenorth1178]

I'm watching it for so many years and in addition to the music I just can't get enough of this

[@edshift]

Proper LOLGybe at the end. Missing the straps and hiking out = top quality comedy everytime. I've dumped my crew when he was on the wire with the exact same sketch. missed the toe strap, hiked, GONE. Gotta luv it. Peace and Luv. Thx for a great video.

[@stuartsmith5146]

That was the funnest 10 minutes this New Mexico bound Michigander has had in a while. Those were the most alive moments I've ever had. I can't tell you how homesick I am now. LASER MADNESS!!

[@nicjansen230]

i've fallen out of my laser when tacking the same way as that last gybe lol

[@AnthonySmith-777]

Great fun... thanks for a well edited vid and the soundtrack was nice and upbeat... there is just something special about harnessing the power of the wind and flying across the ocean that makes for exhilaration.

[@xotanapica]

This is pure life! no engine , 100~percent adrenaline ecologic! congratulations!

[@edshift]

Gotta say My boat of choice in crazy windspeeds as illustrated at 4:33 is the International 420. You can take that boat out in stupidly high winds and silly sea states and have an absolute ball. I sail a laser 4000 now most of the time but when we chicken out of that on a particularly wild day the 420 is still an absolute blast. Best training boat ever. I bought mine in poor repair for pocket money from a uni sailing club and did it up for less than £200. Crazy fun. Bargain of the century.

[@Stefanino41]

When sailing the Finn, I have had the opportunity to rescue a fellow Finn sailor, who was very far away from his overturned boat, no life jacket, and could have drowned had I not noticed him, and picked him out of the water, and slumped him down into my Finn. Taking him in very possibly saved my life also on Lake Balaton, as I have almost always wore a life/bouyancy jacket after the event of rescuing him, and with his extra weight in my Finn, the two of us reached Balatonfoedvar harbour safely.

[@MissionGamePossible]

Lazers, 420s, and CFJs are THE BEST small boat sailing :P

[@spookythecat3055]

don't forget the 470

[@MissionGamePossible]

true! although ive never sailed one before ^-^

[@Nacho66]

Spent many a summer as a kid sailing Lasers. We would purposely have a knockdown while jumping off the rail at exactly the same time as the boat came to an abrupt stop. It would send my 12 year-old self flying. Sometimes up to 15 feet! What a blast.

[@danawade3333]

Almost picked up an Aussie 18 ( 30 years ago )once but the bride said NO, Would have loved to sailed that little rocket ( too damn old now ) Great video guys. Sail on

[@edshift]

The amount of bend in a laser's mast in a blow in something to behold. Just incredible how much wind it's dumping out the top 1/3rd of the sail.... In a stayed mast the boat would be a wreck... :-0

[@TheDorismabel]

|Its a long time since I'v sailed a Laser. Makes me want to go back to them. Love it

[@brookejones263]

love the video laughing at most of the capsizes, I still find 'the gybe' the funniest one by far

[@Stefanino41]

The first Moth I have sailed was of a flat design, very stable, made of marine plyboard, and the mast was fixed with three metal wires and spanners. The second Moth was more of a narrow design, with a triangular front, and flatter back, also with a swert in the middle. The third, so called Europa Moth was also built of thinner marine plyboard, and looked almost like the Laser, wider at the back. The winged Moth I have not had the opportunity to try. Later I sailed a Finn on Lake Balaton,Hungary.

[@taz2051]

This is like dancing with wind and sea. Superb

[@markjennings2315]

Looks like a sit down windsurfer!

[@edshift]

So TRUE. I sail a laser L4k now and we measure our speed by the harmonic from the centreboard. 3rd harmonic plane or 4th order. It's cool. :-) Apparently it slows the boat down and people advocate shaving the centreboard to kill the vibration but we like it. So She has a beard. Our L4K. She's Wonderful. :-))))))))))))

[@nostressannie]

thanks for the magnificent vidéo ... very nice song ... thanks

[@WilliamsElaine]

This is very cool. Heart pounding action!

[@zurek420]

This is real sport sailing, very nice. The 420 class is awesome too ^^

[@ArisAdalberto]

is for this reason that Brazil is eight times world champion in the Laser. Trained only in extreme situations.

[@douglasanderson2894]

My comment is belated, but WOW! Man! that is some amazing sailing!

[@AlfredoBernacchi2]

Incrível! Fantástico! Pure emotion! Congratulations!

[@duyguuzel]

Thanks for the magnificent video :)

[@slingshot88150]

nice stuff dude sailing should be way more popular also whats the song?

[@ZielonaMila1973]

Fantastic film:)

[@g.nijsse1237]

Filmed with a calculator?

[@user-bf3yh6ue7p]

it was filmed in 2008 what do you expect

[@projectcrazy12]

I dont think i will ever be this good at sailing

[@ncfatcyclist]

that sucker's got a motor!

[@Stefanino41]

I have also found it good practice to tie the end of the gross-schott to my belt/buckle area, and wear a Levi's jeans, buttoned and riveted version of Levi's, for Finn sailing so that the belt does not rip off from the body of the trousers, and leave me in the water, with the boat being floated far away from myself, left in the middle of the water. As a result of the Kolontar 2010 disaster, I fell that my practice of sailing with a wooden mast, instead of an aluminium mast gives more bouyancy.

[@user-fl4zt1il4o]

Шикарный ветер, красивые лодки.

[@supermanhills]

@RIBBOAT12345 It's called song 2... Blur-Song 2, but i guess you could be forgiven for thinking it was called woo hoo! Thanks for the awesome video man!

[@surferd619]

looks like a day off well spent. they will have something to talk about when they are old...

[@K_Olaf]

cool sailing dude! try to get your weight as much to the back as you can or you might dive into such waves and flip over, happened to me once or twice;p

[@livvidd]

Wow awesome sport! What brand of potato was this vid recorded with?

[@shock3]

Uhuuuuu...congrats from Brazil !!!!

[@chloespear2762]

about 5 mins through that has happened to me in a topper 1st time out alone in a boat I capsized and turtled and lost the dagger~board. cant wait till the spring series I can get back on the water!!!!!!!

[@elvirat21]

1: "Whatever we like - Iglu & Hartly" 2: "In this city - Iglu & Hartly"

[@dehdeh55]

Looks like fun, so long as you are tough and the water is warm. Music a bit much. On April 1, 2016, in Charleston Hbr, saw some folks fooling around with a little foil sailboat, similar conditions to these. That thing went at least 40 knots (for short periods of time). Really looked like fun.

[@midvale5thyear]

If I had seen this video 5 years ago, it would have been very entertaining and I'd consider it extreme... enough. I probably would have watched it a couple times. I love me some dinghies, especially in the soup. Its still entertaining, it just appears its being shot in slow-mode when you are used to sailboats over 30 knots. Hell even the 18's, or any of the skiffs, have lost a chunk of "extreme value". It's rare one gets to see such dramatic moments of windfall advancement and technology as we have with foiling. Especially with a concept about as old as man itself is. There's no going back, kiddos.

[@midvale5thyear]

I should have added that the things being learned at CERN with their particle collider to the once in a lifetime game-changing list. I think we are all lucky to just be in the audience for these advancements... but Id sure like to playing too ;-) even with just a Moth. Anybody bored with their's?

[@joemacinater]

love the music

[@blazeratw]

that looks so much much fun good video

[@BrothersFreedive]

OH god damn great gybe! am subscribing!

[@SunfishTommy]

thats crazy how fast they are going

[@gatta182]

im former laser sailor, my last ride about 10 years ago ,... miss the moment when reaching with great wave, not too big, not too small, like this video :D,.. i wish i could change to sailing again :D, just for fun

[@jffranca2009]

insane !

[@Cuesada]

These boats were laser, right? What kind? I thought they were Standard Laser. Me podríais decir que clase de embarcación utilizan? Parecían Laser Standard. Buen vídeo :)

[@patjohn775]

I've jumped onto the centerboard as the boat capsizes. Flip the boat and don't get wet

[@hugosailing9510]

Yes BEST of!!!!!!

[@MusicVOT]

Nice Sailing . How about some classical music? Toca de Classe"

[@capthoook]

the wind is blowing for everybody

[@Fly4aWhiteGuy]

It's still epic when someone catches it on video.

[@MrZrryan2]

THAT was the BEST of extreme sailing? You're fishing in a pretty shallow pond, friend.

[@andersschildt9156]

Nice music!

[@kgladie]

At 4:20 those guys tearing across the wake are nasty!!!!

[@alasdairgeddes]

I haven't been sailing for more than 2 years and am missing the water. I want to sail again. If only the sea where closer :(

[@KKBK1997]

this quallity sucks but the clips are awsome

[@dougski12]

@edshift having worked at a sailing centre with 60ish Lasers we had a few break in high winds, although it was always where the 2 mast parts join. But yes its amazing how much they can take.

[@cgrscott]

No spinnaker necessary in high winds, when reaching. Fun video though.

[@seasaphira]

good wind n wave..good handle in strong wind...gud luc bro...c u in around reggata

[@lurchutube]

It's a good vid. Just a bit long for the KZbin community imo. Maybe split into two or three next time and make them a series. Probably get more folks to watch til the end that way. Just my two cents worth.

[@josephsirieys9825]

best sport in the world

[@jof3s1]

Wow, very fast!! great!!

[@timmit3579]

I don't like when the power boat gets too close to the sailboat, and the sailboat has to deal with the powerboats wake! The sailboat has a hard enough time trying to stay in control in the rough seas, and it makes it that much harder when the powerboat gets in too close to the sailboat just so the cameraman can get a good close up action shot! Give the sailboat a wide berth to maneuver, instead of tripping up the sailboat with wake turbulence!

[@navybrat103]

@drummerboy202 the crew is behind the skipper to move the weight aft. They were scared of bow plowing I guess

[@jorgev5]

Thank you!

[@1972nemo44]

470-это полный экстрим!

[@TheSoling27]

Wish I was younger again...

[@aciddream2866]

Its never too late to sail again!!

[@zaklinacz_gojow]

5:20 We have erected our boat! Oh, never mind :D

[@slasstik13]

сижу, думаю. почему плохое качество? а потом смотрю: 14 лет назад. епт, тогда интернет был?

[@samadams008]

@RIBBOAT12345 The songs actually called Blur - Song 2

[@justin76bmw]

my hobie 18 makes some pretty disturbing humms, and groans at speed. it scares the shit out of 1st timers.

[@DzonySm2]

sailing is a life!

[@bicanoo_magic3452]

BTW. The end is fuck faaarny! Well done.. "Abandon Ship!!!"

[@fulvia4776]

you're a great sailer

[@minecraftjustace6299]

he filmed other people

[@jesussuarez1327]

solamente quien ha navegado es capaz de percibir estas sensaciones aunque sea en youtube

[@llorensbover5969]

what song did you have on when you uploaded the video

[@kurilladesign]

GOT SAIL AGAIN MISS IT!!

[@mihuuuu]

dat gybe though

[@ITA191]

very cool

[@bicanoo_magic3452]

Yeah. i remember when this used to put me in the drink.. I know there is super hi-tech and extreme carbon fibre what ever designs..but someone had to push it before we got to 'today' and that was me and my generation.. No support.. No Internet and all expensive repairs and that after buying an expensive 'boat/ already.. If you were super extreme fit..you had a go.. and these vids are a result... young people of today are so afraid to get out there they hide behind there PS4 or other video game and pretend they are there.. freeze your ass of, exhaust yourself, push every skill you have and experience real joy! and life.. Life doesn't start at 'Press Play'!

[@nataliakubica2988]

Not all children are addicted to video games you know. Just because some spoilt brats who get everything they want have their xboxes and ps4s and whatever and spend all of their life on it doesn't mean we all do. I'm 12 and I've already got stage 3 sailing, stage 3 rowing and stage 2 windsurfing, I wouldn't exactly call that hiding behind a video game, would you?! Sorry, I just get really angry when people stereotype kids or however you say it.

[@sirlandsalot]

+bicanoo_magic This generation you speak of is the one you raised...great parenting. My generation was not as fortunate to be born through the post war economic surge of America. Thank you for leaving us with a 17 trillion dollar debt! and a pesticide, logged, mined, climate change fucked planet to deal with, we would love to sail but we can't due to garbage in our oceans from shipping containers to the great pacific plastic dump consuming our oceans. Now I pay out the arse for medicare, not for my young healthy body, it is for you! Your Welcome! Enjoy your golden years in Palm springs while your children sit at home trying to find work to pay for all the insurances and over morgaged debt you left us. Seems like you enjoy the internet....who gave that to you? Have some respect.

[@bicanoo_magic3452]

+sirlandsalot Hahaha.. .I'm not of that generation and not from your country. My kids do rock climbing, skydiving, cannon swings and the like in New Zealand and in Europe and Australia. They both have excellent education and junior management jobs. They worked their bloody arses off to get their. That's how it's done. They both have gaming degrees and both play at least one musical instrument regularly. We live 'off-grid' and built everything from recycled material.. BTW. It was me and my buddies in IT that gave YOU the internet. I personally built many many networks for all the major companies and government agencies in Australia and overseas at the time when the net was but a baby. We recycle everything. Australia has the most efficient recycling in the world. So much so overseas waste management companies come here to study what we have done.. BTW. Your total nation's debt is in the 100's of Trillions. You only quoted official Government debt which is a false statistic put out by your government to cover themselves. Your Medicare system was copied from us. Everyone here has basic free health care. Its normal. So puullleaase don't tell me you've done anything for me. and puuulleeease don't assume anything that YOUR government has done is any way related to me. I suggest you grow a pair and fix your own problems first.

[@bicanoo_magic3452]

+Edgar Helbling I have absolutely no idea what you mean or the relevancy of your comment.

[@bicanoo_magic3452]

+Edgar Helbling LOL.. Missed that.. late night darkness!! Sorry mate..

[@Jacob-W-5570]

that's not a sailboat that is an oversized surfboard :P

[@TeDtheUnDeAd]

hey do u know where to get a spinnaker or a genoa for a 12 foot catalina ???

[@skugors]

Naprid Hrvatska - GO CROatia :) With this much wind I would switch to windsrufing :)

[@ThisIsNalsur]

Полностью согласен. Ну у нас в Кыргызстане ветра не такие уж очень сильные но погонять можно

[@Petr34]

Muy bien este todo👍🤓🇪🇸

[@TheAli985]

I thought that aswell. Not really sure I would class 420's and lasers as the best of extreme sailing even if some of it was in a fair bit of wind

[@MRFLOPPYFISH123]

lol that last bit ive done that before haha

[@influxtv8047]

R.I.P ears nuff said

[@Eurocano]
