1. What a fabulous video, the ultimate sailing machine in my opinion and I pray they never stick foils on them, as one of the comments made to that downhill run with the big kite on and bouncing along with the boat airborne half the time, exciting to say the least.
   At 81 now, I look back on my sailing in 12ft skiffs in NZ with nostalgia, and although having sailed keelboats and multihull over the years I still gravitate to the 18 footers (although never having sailed in one) and now living in the UK the highlight of my year is the 18ft series of racing on Sydney Harbour, especially the JJ’s, I sit on my couch and race with them every minute of each race, never getting wet of course, what better way to spend a few hours.
   Thanks once again for bringing joy to an old heart.

2. Um grande sonho ter isto no Brasil, Rede Virtual do Conhecimento Náutico

3. Superb! Well done

4. great video

5. WOW

6. Great Vid Ollie, that shot under the wing was amazing!

7. WOW! Wonderful movie! Thanks so much for sharing this spectacular experience. As a former Hobie 16 racer, immersing in this video brought back so many happy feelings and memories. You fully captured the excitement of sailing, these wonderful boats, and the spectacular scenery. Well done!

8. Norway?? 🙄

9. Music’s a bit much

10. What I like most are the people, I am losing every day more interest in these olympic, doping, cheating events… this is how sport should be

11. i see fast sailing, i likeit

12. Beautiful footage. Slowmo is an interesting way to present these fast machines and works really well. Congrats to the team that made it.

13. GREAT flic!!

14. True madness – but epic never the less!

15. Wow ! Great pictures, great framing, great video ! Good job

16. This is how we should settle the Americas cup, instead of spending $$$$$$$$$$$$

17. Wow loved the photography of these crazy sailors having a blast. Awesome work.

18. Wow long live the skiff. How much sail can you bang on. Beautiful

19. Drone attack 6:13…. dunt dunt… dunt dunt… dunt dunt dunt dunt dunt dunt dunt dunt…

20. Wow.. this is how it should be, raw power. . man v wind.

21. Holy god you all need helmets ⛑

22. Very skilfull filming. I assume you are using drones. Once you have sailed on trapeze it's a different sailing dimension especially skippering. But the 18s have always been the pinnacle for dinghy sailing. Magnificent

23. Love to sailing too much talking for me

24. never heark a yacht sound like a fekin old peoples disco , grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

25. That’s so cool they are so lucky

26. Great.

27. What's the opening song? It really sets the tone and is beautiful like the landscapes

28. 1:45 Foils don’t propel a boat son.

29. Fantastic video footage. Very talented. What Drone were you flying? Its inspirational.

30. An Aussie legend, 18 footers.

31. I don't think I'll get to sleep tonight….too much adrenaline pumping in my system!!!!

32. Great stuff. . . I REALLY hope this generation of international 18 "skiffies" understand the complete history of the 18's. . . . .

33. Way to unstable for me. Do it in a 70fter. that's a buzz.

34. An absolutely incredible video showcasing an incredible boat! As a young person, just entering the skiff world in a 29er, this is what I aspire to. Not olympics, not foiling but community and teamwork in the fastest monohulls ever. Watching the hull skim across the waves downwind with the kite up is truly awe inspiring. This is the future!!! Absolutely epic!!!

35. And here's me thinking this footage was in NZ. By far the best racing boat, foiling doesn't come close in excitement

36. I don't think I've seen a bowsprit that long, looks like something from the 17-1800s.

37. Lake Garda. Sailing heaven. I hope to be back at Campione some day soon. Missed it last year and probably this July too. Bummer.

38. I've watched the 18-footers on Sydney Harbour more times than I can remember, and sailed smaller trapeze Skiffs in my younger days. They are truly the most beautiful and impressive vessels. Thanks you for the amazing footage, you really did these incredible boats, and their crews, justice 🙂

39. this is so sick! i just bought a laser5000! i cant wait to get into skiff sailing

40. Un video stupendo. Una barca bella ed impossibile. Una musica di sottofondo fantastica. Buon vento…

41. Just another example of why sailing in Sydney has been without peer in so many ways. Flying across the harbour or Pittwater watching the deep blue water and glistening white foam racing past underneath me at 12 years old was something of a formative experience for me. It is better than memories as one can still live it and be inspired by it in everything one does.

42. All those anchors at the front are not doing a very good job at keeping the nose down…

43. Awesome video. Want to sail 18's sooner than later. Not getting any younger. This looks just like Squamish and Howe Sound. Big winds, in flow, out flow. Have a Hobie 18. Generally sail by myself. Had some fun on 505's and 49er's. This just looks like so much dangerous fun.

44. Had to have a chuckle hearing how cooperative and good willed the crews were to each other given the history of the class where the occasional punch-up was not unknown. The class developed as a way of keeping rugby league players fit in the off-season and the early 18 foot skiffs would often have crews of 12 or more and it wasn't unknown that if a close competitor looked like beating you to the windward mark then deft use of a spinnaker pole could persuade them otherwise. It also wasn't unknown that if the wind dropped off several of the crew would be thrown overboard (near a shipping buoy of course) knowing that one of the ferry boats that followed the fleet would pick them up. The skiff fleets developed outside of the regular yachting fraternity and clubs but today are really mainstream. Fantastic filming by the way and very deft use of the drone.

45. Magnífico video, what a fabulous and excelent video with ultraslow motion in hd. Story is about a band of brothers n sisters. Congratulations
    Best regards

46. I just stumbled across this movie while looking for something completely unrelated. I am a lifelong sailor of both keelboats and dinghies. I've never sailed a skiff, and I'm not sure my wrecked-up body could handle it anymore, but I wish I could one day. I haven't been able to sail for several years now due some personal stuff, but I am looking forward to being able to get out on the water again someday. There is a magic to sailing that only sailors can understand and this video so perfectly captures it the way mere words cannot. Beautifully done, and thank you for the motivation to keep after my dream of being on the water again.
