JMU said:So... you doubt the "frostines" of our spring training. These pictures were taken 28th March 2004. Our harbour is quite well protected i.e. no waves visible. When the water temperature is +1C (34 F) it feels quite chilly in any wind conditions. Can't sail more than 45min-1 hour at the time.
Here are two videos that give an idea of the wind:

i wish there was some sound tho, ( is there sound or was it just my computer?)
lovely illusrated capsize
Propably so with a pinch of self irony mixed in... the name of the video "voimapurjehtija" (=powersailor) means a sailor who only likes the rough weather physical sailing. Doesn't bother with the subtleties of low wind sailing. Usually big guys.Merrily said:Thanks for the video! Excellent!
I'll bet it's narrated in Finnish so sound wouldn't be too useful for most of us. Wondering if the video was made to promote the sailor, since it intersperses sailing with skiing and weight lifting?

There has been two of us posting from the same club. I am not the one in the video. I am a master and started as a master two years ago. But yes, I am planning to attent the Masters Worlds in Fortaleza this year. (sort of a turist...)Merrily said:I meant promote in the sense to get sponsors. Do you have World Class sailing aspirations?
On another topic, that water has to be close to freezing. What do you wear to stay warm in the water but not too hot in the air?
