Pure Sailing TBT #3 | F18 World Championship 2015 | Hobie Wildcat Onboard | Part 1

Round two of the first race of the 2015 Formula 18 Worlds in Kiel. 100 Boats at the starting line and we found ourselves somewhere in the middle. Always loosing some boats upwind. We managed to gain quite a lot downwind. All ended in a big battle round the mark. The biggest impact on our upwind performance since then was to get the "head out of the boat". If you are always focusing on your telltales, watching the jib for the whole race you are only reacting. And reacting is too slow. If you are watching the water infront of the boat, looking for gusts and all that and spare some time to watch for other boats you start actual regatta sailing. For me this formula worked quite well: 50% watching the wind in front of the boat 40% looking around and see what's going on 10% looking at the boat, controlling the settings and look at the tale tales And always remember to communicate with your crew / helm. 00:00 Intro 00:30 Upwind 04:30 Tack 06:45 Bear away 09:35 Gybe 12:05 Gybe 12:35 kite drop 12:50 Outro All PURE Sailing TBT Videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zKMQLLS7F28&list=PLK_tHYFtt8SwKC6gFc-OF40osgZp2o2gL Equipment Used (Affiliate link): Go Pro 7: https://amzn.to/3b7rYUb ?
