J 111 Sailing: Don't do this at Home

not working kite hoist at 25 kn of Wind during the Goofie Race at 5th of dez. 2015.

[@jazldazl9193]

A polished and professsional example of "hoisting the kite"

[@tillerandkites2812]

Super cool tricks you learn on a J/24 :D well done!

[@mattbouttell5051]

luv it warts and all and your comments show you can laugh about it later, well done.

[@bigkiwial]

the crews jacket was perfect, you guys got slammed alright!!

[@hurdurdur7rl696]

That boat sure can take a hell of a beating :D

[@SailingTeamTallyHo]

Good thing that loose halyard didn’t shrimp the chute. They were lucky

[@JeffCrowell11]

Great comment at the very end. Thanks for sharing the "fun" of racing.

[@beastyachtracer]

I'd say it was a good recovery and good to see that you didn't have a knot in the tail of the halyard.........which could have spiced things up a bit!!!

[@ILikeSailing225]

rough conditions there! great save!😂

[@ralphe5842]

Meanwhile the boat sailing with the dodger dusts them probably having a cup of coffee

[@daleabowman1747]

Awesome!

[@marianoschaller9066]

And you didn't get knock down... impressive...

[@xolarwind]

Hoisting the kite in 25+ Knots here in San Francisco is any day in summer

[@keithmoorechannel]

Just tell people you were practicing deployment of the sea anchor. No problems. 😆

Slam!?

Don't tryy this at all ! …

Feel sory for the mastman

[@philippesails4973]

Some more training would help.

[@stevoschannel4127]

WTF is with the “music”? Would me more interesting to hear the crew…

[@SaundyB]

Should have wooled the kite first

[@piettefrank]

You guys can't operate this sail in this speed We used to own a j/35 in the mid 80's. We would use our full spinnaker in wind speed of 35k+ and surfed at speed of over 16knots!! This crew could have used me. ;). Thanks for the video... I enjoyed it.

[@paulkircher9542]

How about letting the jib out? Every puff when overpowered and the jib in is going to make it impossible to turn downwind and you round up.

[@paulkircher9542]

@@robertkowalski9906obviously you have never tried to duck a boat in big breeze without the jib going out. Nothing worse than a jib trimmer getting an override on the winch and the jib doesn't go out... It usually results in a t-bone. You probably think the way to stop the death rolls Is to crank the pole aft and hammer the vang down... Lol LMAO 🤣😂🤣😂

[@paulkircher9542]

@@robertkowalski9906 You ease both sails. I raced for 25 years as a trimmer . Won a MORC commodores cup and finished in the top5 MORC internationals 4 times. One design racing? Sure... 36.7, Farr 40, j35, j24, j22, melges 24, mumm 30...... Should I continue? Maybe you need a physics lesson... Sails are foils that create lift. Without easing both sails the lift created by the jib can and will round you up in a blow even if you're flogging the main. Been there done that. I have no idea what you're talking about.

Who chose the idiotic music?

Id rather Vote for Joe!🙂

Wild footage, but perhaps the dumbest music ever. (Sorry)

annoying music ...
