Full 470 Men Medal Race | Aarhus 2018

The full 470 Men Medal Race at the Hempel Sailing World Championships...

470 is a beautiful boat. Spasmotic pumping is an eyesore

[@karol8535]

Too bad for the French guys. 8 years in the making and the games get cancelled due to pandemic :(

[@fedsmith4970]

That isn't sailing its pumping. Did 12 years in this fleet. This was never legal

[@death.9738]

Wasn't there a rule recently that allowed pumping upwind in some conditions?

[@samuelwalker2191]

Rule 42 has been altered by the 470 class rules since 2003, pumping has been legal for a long while. Windsurfers have been pumping for years before that, its always been sailing.

@@samuelwalker2191 It makes sense in windsurf but dinghies are different, pumping upwind is dumb, it looks bad, it breaks boats and it makes roll tacks pointless. It objectively makes sailing worse.

[@gromitdaddy]

There is value to some pumping downwind, but I'd like to see real numbers in favor of all the pumping upwind

[@hunterh1175]

for real it looks terrible, it breaks the boats, and it just makes everything less interesting. Who cares about roll tacks when you can pump anyway?

[@AntonHu]

All this pumping upwind. If they want to make it an athletics event, they should add a separate on-shore contest to the pure sailing - harnessing the natural action of the wind on the sails.

Whether you like it or not, it is a part of the sport.

im japanese! i want caption!

[@laser4398]

Oh I hate all that pumping and oching. That wouldn't be allowed in the sailing I do. The Olympics is a different world. I'm not so keen on watching this.
