In 1957 I was 14, and my grandfather had purchased a Flying Dutchman sailboat and brought it to Lake Bemidji. It was magnificent! We sailed in it almost every day. It was better than riding in a speedboat, but he sold it and the cabin so all I have are the memories of that awesome summer. It was just on a lake, not the ocean and no other competition, but it was magnificent.
Got home from a crap day and thought I'd I've always loved FD but never sailed one so let's have a look on UA-cam. Your film filled me with joy and brightened up my day, I loved it. Thanks
Interesting fact : When Rodney Patisson won Olympic Gold back in the sixties in the FD there were so few dinghy parts available on the market that his mainsheet blocks were made from a child's pram wheels!
Лодка не настроена, руль постоянно садит матроса в воду. А на лавировке черевато. В полном галсе постоянно яхта сама приводится, в лавировке на глиссер не идёт-роется! Детские покатушки...
Sailed a 470 several years. Flying Dutchman were so impressive, scary, but soooo powerfull.
Nice video, thanks :)

One of the best designs in yachting history.
Already moved to after a 9 month old comment…censorship still alive and well.
Seriously deleting my comments?. This is not COVID-related

lange keinen so guten Werbefilm mehr gesehen, da hat Spezi sich wirklich was einfallen lassen.
Flying Dutchman is an absolute blast to sail. Expect to get wet and stay wet the whole time.
Это всё было под одним девизом:"Как классно это было 😉👍😋
Клязьма и Пироговка нас помнят ! 😊

Not heavy enough boys.
Get some weight jackets and pile on jumpers and tracksuit pants.
20 knots + the forehand needs to be 200kgs.
