Levitaz Feel

A great training session on my Levitaz R5 with an 11m Ozone R1v4. I'm starting to feel better on this foil and beginning to push it harder to find the boundaries.

Another night of kite racing, but this time with a smaller fleet. The wind was offshore and super gusty. I got a DNS in race 1 because my kite fell out of the sky, and my camera didn't turn on for race 2. I was stoked to take some wins on races 2 and 3!

Super competitive night of racing with everyone in town for the Delta Pro! I used my brand new 11m Ozone R1v4 and I was super overpowered. Results: theclubspot.com/regatta/IVrvBpBQSF/results

I got a great start in this race, and an early tack onto port put me in the lead. I made a bad move at the top of the course and ended up getting disqualified for causing a tangle. I feel really bad for ruining his race, but luckily he was able to get redress. It was a good learning experience for me, in the future, I would go into a low mode and tack with the group.

2:25 Nice sailing man, one hand on the jib staying up with the trap not on the harness yet
Cool bro
does the crew do the jib or the main on this boat i thought i saw them doing both
Could one sail this or would you not advise it?
No 35 barely 15. I have sailed 49ers and 29ers … at a windspeed of 25+ kts in a 29er with a kite up, the forward hand has one foot behind the skipper.
what happened in min 13:36 ?
do you know why that crease that goes from the bottom most baton to the clew is there? i experienced that just today when i was doing some racing in some breezy conditions and im not 100% sure why.
if you mean the diagonal crease from the spreaders to the end of your boom, it’s probably caused by lots of vang
@@shaxxy3759 yes, i have noticed that it appears when i pull a bit of vang on but it definitely should not be that prominent after maybe only 25% vang pulled on
35 ktn. Windspeed the topmast would been gone 😂😂😂😂
Thanks for posting the first person experience! Am about to go on a 29er for the first time in a few days. Really good to see! (A laser sailor here, and a light one)
may be a bit late to this one but you are the best source on youtube for looking at the 29er and this vid in particular made me want one so now i might be getting one with a freind
you are cool
Do you just stick one of those gopro adhesive mounts on top of your cam? I'm curious because I'm doing some wing racing I want to film, and do you tie it to the back of your helmet? thanks
Yeah just stick a curved adhesive mount onto your helmet. Definitely tie the camera to the helmet as well.
agree with comments below, not close to 35-40 knots. Maybe 20-22 knots max. At 40 knots the water is basically lifting by itself.
Wow! Fly on!
Really cool!!!
What was your combined crew weight?
Awesome footage! I’m curious why you didn’t release depower line on your down wind legs? Feel like It would have helped with angle and speed
Austrians at the mark.
at long last neil has returned!
That is awesome
I mostly skipper and crew in c420s got any tips for a new 29er skipper
Nice job can’t wait to compete against u 😅
Wenn das 35 knoten sind, dann bin ich Hitler
I know this is very very late but I had 2 questions to do with what the helm is doing: 1) What is the helm supposed to do with the jib sheet upwind? 2) What is the helm doing with the mainsheet downwind? For both of these why would you pull the sail in or let it out?
Hello! 29er Helm here 👋🏼 On the upwind I always have the jib sheet in my hand and work with it. But that has a lot to do with the wind and wave conditions. Very basic: open it a little in light wind and close it tightly in stronger wind. I always open the jib before a tack, more or less depending on the wind. As soon as I have the jib sheet in my hand again, I close it back to the optimal position. On downwind, I'm also playing with the mainsheet. I open the main, luff a little to get pressure. With the pressure I go down again and close the main a little. That creates a little bit of a pump. Hope that helps!
I'm not entirely convinced that looks fun
Why don't you turn the motor on???
Any chance of going back to skiffs?
Nice start and boat speed! Wider camera angle is nice for seeing what else is happening around you.
gloves?
It must have been pretty windy! The mains look really depowered yet the crews are flat trapping! Great video.
I love him sooo cool vids
29er to 49erFX?
This looks very fun
@@thomasogrady4999 ok
Me and my friends worship you
Are you doing 29ers anymore
does the skipper controll the jib upwind?
Yes. It's also a self-tacking jib, it is sheeted to a block on a track that moves when we tack.
@@NeilMarcellini thanks
Insane how fast you where going by sailing only with the jib
Could I sail one single handed if I’m 70 kilos
Nope
@@wilsterr839 any recommendations for a bigger boat after a topper
@@georgegodden8010 Well if you are into using a trapeze and spinnaker single handed, then an RS 700 might be good. Single handed boat with a main and a spinnaker, also a trapeze.
@@wilsterr839 thank you
I sailed one when I weighed 65 kilos, and it was fine in light winds. It gets sketchy in medium to heavy air, but we used to do it a training camps for practice. czcams.com/video/yxfifbuTurE/video.html
what was the windspeed and your speed? I need to know because I would say this video probably takes the 29er to the max
Look at the end of the video, there's a wind graph. Yep, definitely at the limit of what you can sail in, but only towards the end of our session.
@@NeilMarcellini ok thanks! Im suprised your still replying! great vid btw
How much do these cost?
Nice! Really motoring on the starboard tack on the bottom of the course, off the start and the 2nd upwind too. That kite lesson on the starboard layline @3:03 was rough for the back of the pack...
Close battle with Daniella! That first gate rounding was nice. Thought you were gonna pass at the end - did you know you had some buffer behind you before going for it??
Yeah! I didn't like the rounding actually, I think I brought my kite down too quicky, and I dragged it in the water. I sort of knew that I had a gap behind me, but I think the thing that really got me was having to raise my kite up to avoid hers. It made me rise up on the foil, and then it was over haha.
gnarly bruh!
Thanks bruh!
So much boat speed!! That downwind was awesome.
Thanks! It was a unique opportunity to go high and fast since it was such a reach to the mark.
Damn! Looked like you almost coulda made it…nice boat speed though, powering past everyone all over the course. What secret new center line setup are you using?! With collapsible sheath 😆
Yeah it was too close generally but it would have been better if my tack wasn’t terrible. My center lines always wear through, but my rule is that I replace it as soon as the cover breaks.
Nice work, tacks looked flawless.
Stop fast forwarding the videos
There's no fast forwarding here haha. That's why it's called raw footage.
@@NeilMarcellini Apologies then. Looks awesome!
Obstacle course @9:45 !
where did you get that grip tape

Why don’t you sail boats any more like 49er
