Sailing reach course on Optimist with wind up to 35 knots, no waves.
Skip first 2 minutes to see higher speeds.

[@Eddy-NOR]

Beatiful. Thank you for not adding awful music

[@bezzel1]

Up to 35 knots? When your carpet dealer announces clearance sale UP TO 70% 😂

[@Labonlabonne]

So much memory ! For me it was 38 years ago ! I was 10 and sailing optimist every wedesday by those conditions. It was so nice !

Where do u sail at

[@RobbsHomemadeLife]

This made my day, thanks for sharing.

[@renid3551]

Felicitaciones a tus optimistas y al entrenador que logro sacar al aire el potencial de esos chicos!!!

[@basketballskills1239]

That looked like so much fun

[@elliottobin507]

Optiiii friends!! Let's go send some bathtubs!

[@skiboyluka3981]

This vid should be called sailing a Opitmist. Wind up to 15 knots. (Optimist not planing) but still that looked fun JUST MAKING A JOKE THAT HAS FAX

[@arslanmushtaq6721]

Not 35 knots cuz they are just sailing normally not even hiking out (IK that it is downwind ) but still Max 25 knots

[@Finngr123]

ikr

[@jessicakarlkolarsick4292]

They are sailing downwind

[@adlapl]

Water says, this is anything lower but not 35 knots ...

[@burningflame5527]

The boat speed in this wind seems slower than usual yesterday I was sailing my opti and I was going really fast on down wind my coach in his RIB couldn’t keep up (there was bigggg waves too) explain please

[@yxteine]

Burning Flame it depends at water depht a lot how high waves can form. This is very shallow lake ( about 2 meters only in this place). Skip first 2 minutes for better speeds.

[@wiebranddevos5547]

your coach his rib ain't that fast then

[@burningflame5527]

Wiebrand De vos hah, no it’s just that a club ribs are old and slow

[@theonlyhuman3279]

When I was out doing club racing I went in a plastic boat with my sail folded and the whole boat depowered to the max because it was 37 or more knots gusting to 40 something in a bic told me

I love to sail or to play music or go dancing. let's study art

Знаешь почему так назвали этот класс? Только отъявленный оптимист управляя этим тупоносым корытцем для свиной ботвиньи способен получать какое то непонятное удовольствие.

[@robmiller1808]

Look up the Beaufort Scale to see why that is far less than 35 Knots.

[@macwitt8788]

I went out on mine in high wind, I didn’t tip but the sail flew off.

[@burningflame5527]

Mac Witt did you have a sail clamp (if so it goes under the mast hole)

bEAUTIFUL SAILING; wHERE WAS IT ?…

[@minininja3953]

I was with my ptimist and going with 35 knots and I had to do tak so it wascalittle bit dangerous

[@arslanmushtaq6721]

Even if ur sail was rigged super tight optimist sail cannot bear more than 30 knots wind

[@royshefer9490]

i mean i sailed at 37 and my window blasted so probably

[@moaerdo1357]

I sailed 42 and snapped sail pole

Why did no music?

[@burningflame5527]

Paul Gaming TV Because nature’s a better type of music

[@ianedmonds9191]

I know it wasn't really designed as a planing hull but's these are only marginally pulling ahead of it's bow wave. I'd not call that planing. Planing for me is the calm after the storm. It's when the boat goes into crazy fast but totally calm mode. When you can take your hand off the tiller at 20+knots because everything it totally balanced. It's kinda Zen... Luv and Peace.

[@myleswilson1402]

Not 35 knots

[@vincent7520]

How do you know ?…

[@lebrontheg.o.a.t2490]

vincent7520 there boats are flat. Unless you 150 pounds hiking as hard as you can with your sail rigged super tight, your boat would not be flat

[@jellyfishliveold9087]

I think they mean gusts up to 35

[@renid3551]

@@lebrontheg.o.a.t2490 you dont understand

[@akiinns]

Guys he's full out hiking on a *broad reach* and bringing his body to the back of his boat and still sometimes can't keep the boat flat so maybe 29 knots gusting 34 Also, the wind isn't the only thing that's heeling your boat, the waves add on. The waves here are pretty short so considering he hiked once and a while, he would be hiking full time with big waves.

[@katetabner9930]

The sail will rip at 35 knots. Our j24s brand new sail ripped in 27. It was a brand new laser performance sail. The optics would shred at 35

[@evan1188]

They're only tiny they're fine, I've been out in a laser standard in 40knots aslong as you don't let it flap around too much your good

[@kwez8891]

where's the whitecaps?

[@yxteine]

Good question! I know that usually there will be whitecaps on water when windspeed goes over 12 knots. Maybe some physics expert can explain it. Video is captured with GoPro on a very shallow but quite big lake around 200-500 meters from shore. Water depht is around 1,5 - 2 meters. Wind blows from shore. There was very small waves for this wind. Skip first 1.50 minutes to see higher boat speeds.

[@DieterSchulzHoos]

If you would look from the other direction, not from behind the boat, you would probabely see more wite caps, but generally wind from the land does not produce bigger and breaking waves if you are near the land and if the ground stays rather "flat" and if there is no opposite movement of the water itself (stream).

it’s a lake and normally when it’s really stormy it will be brown so yeah

[@olivierdamiron7279]

That is nowhere near 35 knots of wind, maybe 20 tops.. Nice video but BS title. Did you mean 35 KPH perhaps?

yeah ik i was about to commment the same thing

Read description and title again. Theres said that WIND was UP TO ... not boat speed.

Not 35 there is 25

Tis is not 35 knots
