You can see quite clearly when a wave rolls under the bow; in the previous video you can see quite clearly that the Benny was running faster than the waves. DSK |

Makes all the difference in the world when you can run before that sort of crap. Greg |

Very cool video, thanks for the link. I like the struggle getting the trysail set, and the wave impact that blows the guy off the windward rail & down the companionway.

Makes all the difference when you've got the design & rig for it. Those boats were specifically designed to sail well in those conditions, including to windward; you'll notice that they don't futz around with full keels or gaff rigs etc etc. You also notice that under trysail & storm jib (late in the vvideo) the boat is barely crawling along on a close reach. In those conditions, many boats couldn't make any ground to windward at all. DSK |

Better even. Sorry Joe... "has a tiller" is not the main qualification in determining boat performance; a dinghy like yours is a lot of fun to sail but in NO WAY is even in the same ball park... not even the same continent... as a sport boat, much less a skiff. Look at it this way... it's an achievement for a foiling Moth to break 20 knots. The Swift Solo might do it under exceptional circumstances.... a boat like a 5-0-5 will not.... the fastest I've ever sailed a Lightning felt like 20+ but was actually timed out at about 12k, and that was on a day when it was insane to take the boat out (blowing 35+, eventually ordered off the lake by officials). I'm glad that you have fun sailing the dink, but do you seriously think it's faster than a Lightning, much less a 5-0-5? Let's not be too delusional OK? ;) Very cool video, thanks for the link. I like the struggle getting the trysail set, and the wave impact that blows the guy off the windward rail & down the companionway. Makes you think twice about no wearing a harness. I like the guy bashing his head on the mast aloft...good thing he had a helmet. True. You'd have to be nuts to try & work on deck in conditions like that without a harness. Those boats were specifically designed to sail well in those conditions, including to windward; They look like pretty stout boats, I like the way they shiver. Went on one at the Annapolis boat show a few years back. They are awesome boats... not particularly fast but they would be great passagemaker cruisers. DSK |
