Great video, it's some of the best high wind footage I've seen. Some people enjoy racing but my favorite part of sailing has always been hanging on for dear life in a reach in high winds. I remember doing it out on the pipe wings of an old scow Moth I used to own.
This is totally awesome. Going to get a dinghy sail boat to day in silver Springs NV. To start learning on. Wife and I are 52yrs young an decided to give it a go. Starting small an work our way up
OMG! I'm getting this boat. I've been looking for a single hander that I can use to access remote surf spots in Hawaii. Now I know she can handle. THANK YOU! What a blast!
Believe me it is incredible fun. I used to race motorbikes at 160mph+ and I can honestly say that blasting along in a sailboat can be just as exciting at times; even though the speeds are so much lower it FEELS like you are going at warp factor 9 sometimes. Get out there.
Doesn't have to cost a lot to get out there and have some real excitement.......you don't need a state-of-the-art £10k boat......you can get an old Laser for peanuts and blast around in the knowledge that if anything breaks it isn't going to have cost you an arm and a leg. Friend of mine picked one up for £50 recently......ok it's old and it's not pretty, but you can still have a LOT of fun
@@XPSailing ya I've been looking around for old boats like used lasers and such but I don't get paid much and there aren't many good cheap used boats in my area.
Cahoonas for going for the gybe in strong breeze with the webcam. Curious as to why I see so many aeros using a slack foot in that strength of wind. In a laser, it would be stretched out tight
What is the weight of the sailor? We have similar weather tomorrow in Poland and i'm wondering if 9 won't be too much of a handful for a 90 kg of a sailor :)
I own one Aero with the 5 sail and downwind you easily can achieve 20km/h but if you manage well based in my experience I would say that approximately I reached a top Speed of 50 or 60 km/h
@@Intray yep ur right mate, When I wrote that maybe I exaggerated a little cause I was a little bit excited with what the aero can do, but yeah, that speed is mostly unreachable.
I never sailed an Aero but they look similar to a Laser. If you're over 65kgs Lasers are a good choice (they have 3 diff. sizes of rigs), and probably easier to find fleets if you want to race.
@@SAWOK12 i have bought an aero now and they are super fun! Btw the aero also have 3 rig sizes with a fourth one coming soon. Where I live there is an aero/laser fleet that I can sail with we sail together
@@piggolearns5967 Just curious - is there any obvious difference in speed between the Laser and the Aero? Or maybe it depends on conditions/points of sail?
@@SAWOK12 The biggest sail on the laser is the middle sail on aero. The laser also weighs a bit more and is a bit longer. But the aero I would say is faster than the laser.
Clicked for what I thought would be a good vid, commented and left before finishing because of the club music. The wind, the waves, and your boat going through the water would have made for a very good soundtrack.
I've been a dinghy and cat sailor for 43 years and still sail a full rigged Laser at 53yo. 35-40 knots? Don't believe it. Not for one second. In 35-40 knots 90% of the sail would be inside out and you would be trying to get drive off a couple of square feet at the clew. They are great sailors in very strong winds and are fantastic to watch but the Physics of how a sail works disproves the claimed wind strength. Sorry.🤨
Why don't these things have a vang? And why are the users always holding the mainsheet? Use a cleat and pinch and yank it out if you get hit too hard for pete's sake!

Love it!!!
Im interested in an aero for some more high wind sailing!!!!
This video has definitely convinced me that an aero is the right way to go.
:)
Come over to Amarilla Sailing Club in Teneriffe :) we have RS Aeros
Optimific areos are cool but lazar ave more history in sailing so they know all the info on how big your sail has to be and all that
I like small boats in big wind and waves. I've started making some videos camping with my Sunfish. Subscribed.
OMG! I'm getting this boat. I've been looking for a single hander that I can use to access remote surf spots in Hawaii. Now I know she can handle. THANK YOU! What a blast!
id be pulling the outhaul on as hard as I could in that much breeze. Good on you for getting out there and having fun though.
Love the footage!
Great. I love to be on the water and in the water. Simple and amazing.
Hats of to the guy who mounted the Go Pro.Every shot in frame.
Awesome bloomin stuff! :-)
Amazing.
This is the clip I show my friends when they say sailing isn’t a sport.
awesom stuff!!! nice video
Wow, what a blast!!!
Hardcore never dies!
speed !
Never sailed. But after this I want to do. Since years iam looking forward to this
if you can, get some training! :) sailing is so much fun!

wish i had the money for one. looks fun as hell

stupid commie

What is the skin like thing called that you are wearing over your buoyancy aid?
Rooster race bib

Damn that is fast
Looks like fun! What would be the approx speed of the boat when you were sending it?

@@johann389 that is most definitely not true
@@Intray yep ur right mate, When I wrote that maybe I exaggerated a little cause I was a little bit excited with what the aero can do, but yeah, that speed is mostly unreachable.
What size sail do you have?
It definitely looks fast
Where can I buy one?
Did u film that on the isle of wight
Venetia Weaver - The footage starts from Lymington Town so on the Solent but the Hampshire (?) side.
what is the name of the music
Where is this place?
I’m moving from bathtub (opti) to a bigger boat. Is the aero a good choice?

@@piggolearns5967 Thanks for the reply. If I ever get the chance I'll certainly try one out.
wich land is this Netherland
would you buy a secondhand boat from this man?
I was in a neo in gusts of 35-40 knot winds I’m only 12 but compared to this it’s not much
What song is this
It’s called closer

0/10 bad trolling, do better next time
Sitdown sailboard...:)
Hay if you were in 40 nots I would pull that outhaul
быстрее лазера??
da
Should of used a 9
sighn me up😀
I don't like dagger boards and prefer a pivoting centerboard.
Do you really know what 40 kts are?
Force 7 -8 in this video... I still waiting to see it :)
If it’s in a bay I can imagine 20+ gusting up to 30
nice sailing! but what i dont understand is why sail the aero when there is the laser!!!!!!!!!!!!!
because aeros are so much better than lasers paha
@@fitzgeraldmediaservices4712 i dont want to argue with but i prefer the laser..... i guess its all personal preference
@@neilborda3154 hmmm
Rs aero>laser
... cuz with the Aero being so much lighter, I can sail circles around the laser. - more fun, more speed. ... but each as he/she wishes .. ;-)
so a laser just brakes easier
Чуть ближе к носу содится надо
"40 knots" ...lol
Mast is too far forward. Thatsalmost a catboat
Single mast, designed for mainsail only. Isn't that a Cat boat? By definition?
@@joeoden5518 yeah, that's what I thought!
These guys are hacks.
Some dinghy sailors think that capsizing is fun ... What do you think?
Yes it is. However It’s a bit more mixed in a skiff or trapezoid boat.
it is if you're trying to and you have it under control, but when it happens on accident it can be frustrating
