Fun arvo watching some of the crew tackle winds gusting above 30 at times.
Great watching the young guns Harry and Jack Joyner holding down big rags. Jack on The IQ set 9.0 and Harry on a 6.0.
super impressive sailing from these guys who are both still in school!!
cameos from Darryl (wind foil) andBender and Denis on dings.

Wow props to the IQFoil guys. I've been out on mine in conditions like that and it is a handful.

That particular boat tops out at 28kn in glass.
On this particular day I think Darryl went 30 plus on a 5.0 and young Harry ( mid 70's kg and year nine )on a 6.0 went 28 plus.
So yes need a faster boat.

Great video Snides. Sailing the 9.0m2 iQFoil in 20-30 knots plus on the one design foil around a course is going to be test of skills, fitness and stamina. A lot of respect to the athletes who can do so. The sailors shown here are among the top foilers in WA aside from the foiling guy taking the photos who is also tops. According to Antonio Cozzolino the top sailors will not need the fin soon (or now) on the iQFoil.
