Very impressive.
It does make the first one all the more impressive. Looks to me like there are two of them on board that and its no where near as windy, and much flatter water.... and yet they can still have a major moment! Imagine what might have happened to the first guy if he had hit the wrong wave.

Why on earth does a bloke like that want to sail in a boat like that? He seems a young fit and able guy doesn't anyone else think it's a waste of talent? Or is there now a move to lipstick an OK ?
Then I have to ask, what's with all that extra rope and weirdness on the boom? Other than that, a very enjoyable video, thanks for posting, tell him next time I'll loan him my EPS, it would be interesting to see if someone good could put it to better use against Lasers, GP's and all that other dross folk persist in using..

Hi Grf
The OK is a big class in Germany and Scandinavia and Charlie works for Norths so its work. He also sails Solo and Phantoms. The Ok has no dekth to get a kicker in so uses I think the same system as the finn. Cheers Gordon |

Graeme, you really ought to try an OK. One of the sweetest handling dinghies ever designed, and with your stature you'd have no risk of getting hit by the boom :)
The lever on the boom generates all the kicker tension you need, and they often have in inhaul as well as an outhaul. While the boom looks low, they have a deep cockpit which makes tacks much easier. Its one of the nicest handling hiking singlehanders I have ever sailed, but at 45kg you are sadly too light. Perhpas try an RS Tera? |

hahaha. If you're interested Grumph, I've got a composite boat that we could swap my boys' old black-top rig on to? I reckon you'd never set foot in that EPS thing again! |

Back in the day, I always regarded OK's as a technically more sophisticated, young man's Solo (I know it was more akin to the Finn, but in UK terms...). I enjoyed the brief go I had in one.
