probably a little much kicker on the downwind. Did the same in my 49er on my first spin. No curve in the luff when it's light isn't too quick. Defo a great video and a very fun and interesting boat
Great video also coming out to wildwind later this month. We had been for five years so we tried a neilson to see if it was any good but it wasn't even close!
Not much to be honest - get out of there as quick as you can, better still, try to plan when you feel that you're going over so that you don't end up in that space.
Fraser took me out on a 16 when i was there last summer. blew my laser sailing mind. cheers lads
Its amazing how quick this boat is even with this small amount of wind
Fully Powered at about 8 knots of Wind
I am now binge watching!
Welcome onboard!!!
Josh dude, you're a legend! Awesome intro to the wee beastie

Nice one Joe & team!
maybe we'll see you out here some time?
very different, always on the wire, even in light air! Nice boat very maneuverable
Yes, very powerful
Thanks for showing this video! I'll be coming to Vass later this month, excited for sure
See you soon!
Vasiliki is looking nice, we’ve got a nice bit of pressure, boat is looking nice, is the jib flat? Yep, nice. Love that.
Yeah, it's a great place to sail. Thanks!

THANK YOU ;)
Really good commentary on a really good skiff. Too bad the wind wasn't stronger
Thanks
How strong was wind then? It looks So beatyful
Around 7 knots maybe up to 8 at times
How much of an air gap exists under the boat if you get trapped under it and can’t get free of your lines?

What kind of boat is this?
