Send it. (25+ knots) 

I'm 62, raced 470 from ages 14 to 20 ... never left me I can feel this video in my limbs , sensations return. Including the feeling of being bumped off trapeze by a wave to end up a dismal mess in the cockpit. Great video great memories. Thanks

What I love about this video is that these lads are not sailing some hotrod skiffs or using moths with foils or whatever, they are sailing ordinary dinghies that you would see at any old sailing club. They then took these ordinary dinghies out into some extremely challenging conditions and made them fly. Hat tip to ya!

Heck yea! I used to sail 420's and couldn't wait for big wind when I was a teenager, this bring back some great memories!

Finally, a sailing video where I believe the posted wind speed. Nice work on the video. Good work on the sailing.

Just coming off some 25+ knot winds myself, the waves and spin flying... I'm speechless. Absolutely amazing wow.

Hahah, i was a kid, 17 years old. It was blowing 35 knots on land and 39 with gusts. I said "you know what, full send it" rigged a laser standard and a friend of mine rigged a 4.7. We went out I made it back unharmed, my friend got capsized and couldn't turn the boat over. A yacht that was passing by had to help him come back at the club. I was banned from rigging boats for a month!!

After I mentioned seeing a 420 pass our Fireball upwind in 25 knots at C.O.R.K. , Dave Ullman said, "the only thing faster upwind than a 420 in 25 knots is a 420 upwind in 30 knots."

This channel is just the best sailing channel I have ever seen ! I always want new videos from you...!!

One of my favorite ever sailing videos! Thanks!

One of the best hard core videos on RU-vid! Greetings from California

Wow those look just like my 70's 15' coronado. So fun!!

This is an AWESOME sailing video!!! and the music is a great choice as well!

Outstanding! Love it when you zoom towards the boat on the tiller

Love it. I miss sailing so much this really brings me back

I like that perspective. I haven't considered putting my camera on the tiller handle before. That worked great for capturing the capsize.

this is awesome !!! I never get to sail as often as I want and since it’s December I definitely can’t sail now and I just watched this video, and it got me really excited !!

Normal driving. When we are had "Snipe" from 1988 to 1995 - did same. Waited black clouds and go for fan to sea! But its only 420 and 470 - we(crew 140 kg) did same with small "Cadet" in wind 15-17 m per sek(30-35 knots), its have only 6,5 sq.m sails and had aproximality 10 knots and glissering on glad water . Flying was on overkill border. But here is usual fan in strong wind.

Great job on this video Ben! Amazing sailing and editing!

Nice work again Ben. Great Sandy waves!

And I thought catamarans were fast!! Sick Hiking Out!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

This man really flew the Spinnaker

Fun...Bit like a "Heavy" crew on an MJ with the kite up in 30 knots at Cronulla/Jibbon. Rudder and centre board all "humming" full time and launching off the swell !!!

I frigging love the teamwork, I bet you guys do not even need to talk to each other....

My son is 4 years old and I would like to get him interested in sailing with me. He loves rock music. This video is definitely part of my approach.

Takes me to my GP14 days, same scale as the 420. I love these shots. I can taste the salt right now!

awesome as usually!

Not bad! You guys should try sailing on an F18 in 25 knots at Frankston

And that's how you do it ...!⚡💪💪👍👍👍

Epic video. Great music.

so rad, dude!

Brilliant video. Those boats are ripping it!

It's cooler than F1! Yo ho!!!

This is tru sailing, Americas Cup is an exhibition sport.

Looks like a whole lot of fun! :-)

This actually looks really awesome, but my first thought was "quit playin with your dingy."

That was awesome!!!

Nice. I like it.😎😉👍⛵

dopeeeeeee I miss it!

Well, I am officially the proud 3,111st subscriber! Nice work Ben!

👍🤩🤩 Just like sayling Engstrøms Trapez 🤩🤩

Used to sail a Cherub, oh a good 30 years ago. There was nothing like getting the kite up in a good blow, my mate had me on the back of his bike at 150mph and it was nothing to compare.

Quite the soundtrack!

Ahhh love this video!

Great vid will there be a vic youth champs vid

thanks so much for posting these videos, they summerise the reasons i sail really well !! could you do a video with some 29ers ?? thaks again for the great videos :)

Amazing!

Che regata! E co' sto vento pure lo spi te vanno a mette 'sti austaliani: incredibile!

EPIC !

Those are the conditions I live for, love 420 sailing

Wow fantastic video old fart here road motorcycles dirt bikes etc but never had as much fun is on performance sailboats

Incredible footage. 00:34 is my favourite shot- there is absolutely no feeling on earth like hauling ass down a big wave

1:33 the moment of dawning comprehension: "we fucked this one up...." Thank you to bring this online. Happy memories of a childhood on a slippery boat, too much wind and lots of rain come back to me.....

Straight up Baller!!! These folks know how to get it!!! Sailing is damn sexy.

Amazing 😍

💯 HOT sailing

holy shiz that is some heavy duty sailing

Wow!!

I always thought the 420 was a pig of a boat. Turns out you just need some breeze!

Yeah!!! The kick when going full speed over a wave and the sword being the only part of the boat still in the water..

Love 470. They sure can rip!

Awesome!!

I love this game :)

he left the main halyard lose in the end of the video

Badass!

Neat stuff

brutal and brilliant

Finally!!!! a sailing video with out that terrible, awful "feel good electro" music.

just gotta freaking send it or end it bro

Good Vid!

Спасибо за материал!!! Трапеция, это круто!!!

So did I, I wish I had go pro in the 80s. Sail No 42074, I remember sailing at Walsash SC and concord was doing low passes. Insane

Pretty sweet.

Just got back from practice bro and did it get above 10 knots my guy this is insane

Makes me miss my old Force 5. These look faster and more fun though

well done guys

good sailing!

One time I was sailing in about 20 knots on the trapeze without a harness, it was fun for about 10 minutes before my hands ripped lmfao

Great video! The 470/420 seems a little outdated now but still very cool!

Wow, i wish i had such wind from time to time...

That so cool

I once was trapping in that wind full out and my skipper who was kind of new dumped the main and we capsized. That happened like 5 times that day and by the end, our main concern wasn't keeping the boat flat or going fast, it was to keep the spinnaker from filling with water and getting stuck in the rig.

totally rad dudes

Мощно! Лаконично!

Soooooo cool.

Fly the kite in 25+? Sure, I've got a free hand....

Dang. He is hiking out.

epic!

very cool

Madness

Wow. How do you manage to keep the camera so steady in rough conditions? Chris and I tried a tripod but it shook with the Rib too much.

very nice! What camera did you use?

Fuckin' soundtrack...hell yeah!!!!😀

Sick

Wow. I might consider getting a 420...

the music fitting

Awesome Stuff! What editing software did you use putting this together?

I used to race a Simoun 485 which is even faster, especially with the large spinaker (17m2 vs 9m2 on the 420). Great fun until I lost the spinaker pole when we capsized and found out the hard way that it didn ‘t float 😂

Ahhh... high wind dinghy sailing.... The perfect way of saying my boat is not exciting enough in normal sailing conditions....

I did the same wind in Opti/Dinghy!!!

Sweet yacht rock! Sleep?
