Harken Iceboat Tour: "What's This Thing Do?"

When was the last time you clocked in at 100 mph in your sailboat when the breeze was a steady 15 knots? Not recently? Let's chat with Harken Director of Engineering Steve Orlebeke. He brought his freaky fast Class A Skeeter and brand new DN into the factory to give you an inside look.

I'm sure his skeeter will do better than 100mph. Great video!

Great insights!

Спасибо за информацию! Harken super!

[@dmr1997]

What line did you use for that main sheet? Looks good to hold onto.

[@MultiChaga]

How do you brake when you want to make a complete stop? How does the braking system works? Thanks.

[@harken]

There is no braking system - Sailors point their boat directly into the wind to slow down.

How tall are you? I'm 6'5" and have a dn. I envy your boat. Good video.

Thanks for the support! Steve is 6’5” too.
