CONTENDER

You would have to be my age to remember the Contender class It is almost nonexistent in the United States; the stronghold of the class is Europe. I regard the class as the first performance singlehanded boat, well before the 49er, the moth as we know it today.
The other part of me is always amused by the possibilities offered by “modern” cameras. I am assuming this was shot with a go pro.

      Way, WAY ahead of its time!

      One of the best performance sailing videos!

      This is the type of boat that should be in the olympics!
