I trapped for the first time today!! It was easily 26 knots and insane. It was an incredible experience and I loved every minute of it :) this is an old video but thanks for your awesome trapping I got to show my family what it is!
@@kangarookicker6995 kinda like unnecessary pain....i managed with no gloves in optimist but once i switched to 420....no way. Even with gloves you’ll get nice calluses
@Death. lucky you!, my skin is very sensitive :(. The area where i sailed in Spain is famous for its high winds so i also wanted to avoid more hand problems
@@moaerdo1357 yeah, I just don’t see the point of not protecting your hands at 30 knots….it’s all fun and games until you’ve been competing for years and you’re 30 looking 45. Lol
the reason why he is doing this is that he needs to be further out in order to keep the boat flat. I agree he could work on his stability but its what keeping the boat from fliping.
In heavy winds the crew moves backwards to allow the boat to plane and to stop the bow from sticking into waves. Also in all conditions the crew and helm should be close together this reduces uneven forces on the boat and increases the moment of rotational inertia (ability to make turns.)
Shifting the weight back in the boat lifts the nose out of the water which allows the boat to plane (glide on top of the water) at high speeds. At lower speeds they generally shift their weight forward.

no gloves bet their hands look amazing
As my wise old coach once said. "You don't have to buy gloves, you make them, with your hands."

I don’t really mind not wearing gloves but it’s just easier to wear them and get more grip

Nice
Full??
Hahahahah nonono
Supercool
wow!!
Muiyo bom - Barco escola natal!!
It's not even white capping and your on the trap?? what??
Jack McCarty it is white capping do you have eyes
The only white is from their wake and the occasional puff
You can get on trap in as little as 8 knots. That’s not even close to white cappingZ
The trapeze guy needs his feet wayy further apart he’s all over the place

No. You get more leverage when you have your legs together on trap.
@Death. yeah I sail 29ers and 420s. Don’t get why people have the audacity to say random shit and act like it’s true.
So confidently incorrect, he needs to have his feet together to keep the most weight out the side of the boat
420 )
The crew is too close to the helm .. Thts not right ~
it is cause its windy
and you want the weight as close together as you can then the boat finds it easier to move
its ok because there is lots of wind and they will slow a lot if the bow gets buried
Observe my profile it's to get the boat planing
In heavy winds the crew moves backwards to allow the boat to plane and to stop the bow from sticking into waves. Also in all conditions the crew and helm should be close together this reduces uneven forces on the boat and increases the moment of rotational inertia (ability to make turns.)
The crew keeps moving back towards the helm wtf
Its wot you are supposed to do when the boat accelerates.
Team33 No you're not supposed to, the is supposed to be in the water, not the stern. Like you're implying
Shifting the weight back in the boat lifts the nose out of the water which allows the boat to plane (glide on top of the water) at high speeds. At lower speeds they generally shift their weight forward.
roses are red violets are blue the title is in english the video should be too
WHY speed up the footage....? It makes real speed look silly, like in car chase movies.
