- Running the open class downwind run from Sneaky Pete's to DCYC. Made it in 1hr 2 minutes 43 seconds with no spin. Crazy wind and trying to outrun a storm.
25-35 knots, I don’t believe it.
The wind and sea is all the music i need.....
Thank you for the comment, I agree
Took me a minute to recognize Lake Lewisville. I was on a J/24 there yesterday morning. I wanna sail with you guys, looks like a lot of fun.
This was an insane day, contact us at dcyc.org if you want to join us for racing every Saturday

Great run y'all, but I'm coming for your record!
Challenge accepted
one tip, you hoisted the rig with NO backstay tension, the wire ropes and rope tackle are just swaying in the wind!, this should be tight!, as it supports the mast fore/aft as no backstay = no forestay tension!, as one adjusts the other!, at least on keel boats, especially in high winds, just asking for your mast to be blown over!
Good eye, and I have never noticed that on this video. You are 100% right, and that being said we are lucky to have not lost the rig in those winds. Thank you for the comment and stay safe.
Going upwind in a breeze with no backstay on 🤪
Good catch. Thanks for watching
hat clips are a great thing
Thank you and you are right. That was the first of many missing hats
Nice run! Do you use extra luff tension after raising the jib, especially in these heavier winds?
Yes we do
Do you take your rig down after sailing? Or just creating clearance for the a hoist?
Rig stays up, unless we are trailoring
The jib sheeting is missing outboard turning blocksm instead of using the genoa cars.
Good point and thank you for the feedback. Stay safe out there
Get that handle out of that winch!
Ok that one I will give you. Good eye, I had to re-watch it amd now I know you race. Is it on a j-99
Get a chute up!
Haha. We thought about it but did not want to lose a brand new spin to those winds. Stay safe
38 kts a wind? No freekin way! If it was blowing that hahd, that boat would be on her beam ends, even without the blade. No, that was more like 20-22 mph. And why did the crew need to raise the jib from the mast? The jib halyard should run on deck back to the cockpit and a halyard brake. Poorly set up J 24, these guys can’t possibly race this boat.
lol just seeing this sorry, but appreciate the feedback, we often times see wind lines of 50 mph and have lost several boats. either way it was great sailing and thanks for commenting
when music cuts in - way too loud
Thank you and great feed back, I will change that moving forward. Thanks
