Amazing images! J Class... what huge, breathtakingly beautiful sailing vessels! (The music, on the other hand, quickly turns into Hans Zimmer-like ghastly monotony, with the poor string section grinding away like robots)
Some of the 5 original J class yachts are about 100 years old. The Americas cup trophy is the oldest trophy in the world. The J class were the best Americas cup class.
für mich sind die Jclass yachten das schönste was an segelschiffen auf dem wasser schwimmt. bzw auch die, die dem stil nach empfundenen kleineren schiffe. was da heute mit foils und getöns übers wasser schiesst. ebenso 100 fuss yachten die alleine gesegelt werden..gut macht man eben, aber J class verkörpert für mich den segelsport. schönheit elegnaz leistungsfähigkeit wird da am besten dargestellt. ob die en um die welt rennen fahren könnten keine ahnung. soll machen wer will. mir genügt es die paar fähigen jclass schiffe in den entsprechendennregatten n hier auf video zu sehen.... da kann kein moderner foil und sonstwas bestücktes schiff mithalten... segeln mit helm wers braucht viel spass dabei.. schön wäre es aus meiner sicht, wenn die keine schwarzen segel fahren würden sondern weiss bzw bunt,,,
The most beautiful and elegant yachts to be designed and built ever. just sailing on one of these incredible monsters would be an amazing life experience.😮
its a dingy. there are many types, you can even get plans to build small ones like this out of plywood and fiberglass in your garage. insanely good project for a father and son/daughter. or just for an adult looking to try something new. do be warned that YOU are the ballast in a boat this small, they can and will flip over on the water, its part of the fun. make sure who ever is operating it knows how to swim, is wearing a life vest, and has practiced righting the boat in shallow water to prepare for that eventuality.
I’ve always wondered how one find their way into the sailing subculture. What parts of the country do these folks tended to come from. New England? Old money families?
looks rediculus. They have like 40 ppl onboard, the boat is flat on deck, it is leaning 45 degrees and they have no fence or elevated edge. no lifejackets, they must have following rescue boat right next to it all day.
