As a crewman, I once pitchpoled while in the trapeze with one hull flying. I felt like crank bait being cast from a Hobie Cat from roughly the same speed. Train wreck comes to mind . Thank you for sharing. Jim😎
Losing control on a windsurfer at 30+ mile per hour while still harnessed in is sure a sudden stop. I have tested that on many occasions. Pike poled a Hobie with a friend once. Lucky not to have gotten tangled up in the shrouds.
My dad took me out into a thunderstorm on a Laser 1 when I was 10 years old. we had rigged it up for trapeze which was very unusual for a single sail Laser. I specifically remember passing a yacht after reeling it in by surfing its wake, the hull groaning with the speed. We capsized multiple times that day and even turtled. But we got home, and I was never scared to sail again.
I never sailed a 49er but i always appeared as an extremely nervous thing. Tiny boat with extremely big sails. I respect everyone who has tried in a decent wind.
Look at how the daggerboard flips back into shape after it leaves the water, looks more like they’ve hit something in the water than going down the mine on a wave.
Done way worse on a Hobie 16, pitch poled and full turtled upside down a mile out in Santa Cruz, we tried to right the Cat and it flew up and over our heads, turtled again......that's when we figured out how to sail. We were so young......ignorance is bliss!
that daggerboard blow up causes me physical pain. The 29er's daggerboard is almost 700 dollars to replace. I can't imagine how much more expensive the *much* larger 49er diggerboard is.
Hello Ct, is it possible to contact you regarding this video (i.e. via email)? We would be interested to discuss a license to use this video if this is generally possible to discuss? :) Cheers, Felix
@@rcpmac i'm 35. Entered my first dinghy regatta at 6. Sailed 49ers for several years. Done four ocean crossings. Oh, I shouldn't bother, but: Knots is not "per hour". Knots is a unit of speed measured as nautical miles per hour. I've never heard any yachtsman use "knots per hour" - thats pure landcrab talk.
Bearing off with a tight kicker/boom vang is suicide in a breeze. What I don't know is if the boom vang as on the 49er allows this to happen sufficiently. I also wonder if there is the ability to rake the rig back which would also quieten the boat down. Just my thoughts.
Vang is pretty much as far off as it will go on a 49er. Their problems are a lack of speed before the bear away. Part is too much jib on, but also main needs to be more eased to allow for the speed up, and the bowman needs to be further forward moving back when the bear away starts. If they were doing 14 knots rather than 9 or 10 they were doing, the sails wouldn’t load up as much when going downwind, keeping the bow up.
@@rcpmac The title is misleading. The wind is not blowing at 20 knots. The boat is not doing 20 knots. So unless the boat is called "20 knots" the title is exaggerated.
When you are going as fast as permissible then come to a grinding halt two things happen: 1. Time slows down and you can pitch your body’s trajectory into the sea without hitting the ship 2. You notice the instant peace and quiet in contrast to the noise of sailing as fast as you can
I saw this at once I had a Mack trap and French Village and one of these 49er little sailboats didn't see the Armada of buoys I had laid out for my mackerel trap and a smacked into the head rope that was loaded with floats buoys and they flipped her and sent one of them flying 25 ft
It's flapping around at 0.39. They've just completed the job back on land, I'd say. I'm more interested in the damage done to the centreboard casing on such an expensive boat. Hope it wasn't much.

Been there done that.
Its all avout balance,control.
Like F1/Indy
@@jantjepietje5806 well I never did F1, nor Indy, so I couldn't tell :)
@@jantjepietje5806 I take it you've done F1/Indy?

That ain’t a crash it’s a capsize
About 7-1/2, or 7 if it's like a straw hat and has some stretch, how bout you?
You took the words right out of my mouth ;) Cheers.
at those speeds, its really the same thing.

Got the rigging of Hobie 16 in my leg
Ditto.
“20 knots.”

No way thats 20 knots...
You apparently don’t sail. I sail my 24 footer at 11-12 knots per hour. This 49er is moving way faster…
Maybe 12 knots...20 knots could be the wind speed

@@michaelcampbell4990 You might be spot on there mate.
Sorry that's 'K'not 20 Knots

Maybe, but its such a fine line. The rig looks pretty open to me with he leach twisted off. They hit a wave which is what cause the capsize.
rubbish - the more vang the better the control esp in a bearaway
@@camatkins are you sure about that!!??

@@adamcatlow7496 On these boats without backstays the vang prevents the mast tip going overhead forcing the bow down.
If you haven't done this, you have never really sailed.
That shit his different
the old skiff cartwheel
20kph not 20 kts.
What’s your point?
@@rcpmac The title is misleading. The wind is not blowing at 20 knots. The boat is not doing 20 knots. So unless the boat is called "20 knots" the title is exaggerated.
20 knots, just like that .. knots=mph
@@jcdazamont If knots really = mph, why do we have knots and mph? Knots is faster than mph because a mile at sea is further than a mile on land.
Closer estimate of wind speed.
недавно у меня прямо на соревнования руль сломался пополам просто во время гонки. это было на 420

du fuk??
a lot to learn
Looks fun, what broke and how?
Looks to be the centreboard. Probably hit something in the water.
gosh, I love weymouth
I saw this at once I had a Mack trap and French Village and one of these 49er little sailboats didn't see the Armada of buoys I had laid out for my mackerel trap and a smacked into the head rope that was loaded with floats buoys and they flipped her and sent one of them flying 25 ft
Good times, especially if your young
portland is such a great place, isent it?
At 0:37 they stop. I can't imagine what that feels like. I sail the c420 with trap as crew.
I also sail c420 but only jam
Nice! One of my coaches has a 49er and he says if he tacks too hard, the G's throw him and his crew out of the boat. That just blows me away.
last crash was hitting a shallow bottom object?
Where is that?
Portland Harbour, near Weymouth - about halfway along the south coast of England
That daggerboard can't have been broken in this capsize. It looks fine in the video.

I think I see two pieces come out under the transom around the 38-39s transition.
sand bank yeet
more like bouncing on it to bring it back over. sandbank.🤭
No sand banks in the area they were sailing
far out those things fly
“Crash” at 20 sec.
Next stop: America
20 knots my arse.
Front wheel fell off
problem is the jib is strapped on - makes you go bow down everytime
lol. yeah. not that big blue thing. 6ft aft.
@@ji6050 not the waves fault, you have to sail accordingly
@@moefoemonkey I mean yeah but that’s more their timing of the the bear away not the jib
Needs a 'foil
Very bad sail trim. Horrible.....
20knots ?!!? haha
Vang off for the bear away boys
🎉😂😂❤
10 knots at most, if that.
My grandma sailed better
