Rebel Sailing in the Bay

26 January 2015

Thomas Ochabski is one of the second wave of junior ABYC Sailors who started out on an Optimist and then graduated to Lasers and the Rebel – a 14 foot locally designed and built skiff. He can also be seen sailing on his father Greg’s Spirit 28 – High Spirit, as well as on Warrior and Wild Thing.

Presently studying engineering at Stellenbosch, Thomas filmed his last sail on the Rebel before his return to the joy of studying and sent us this video to see him having fun and to make us just a tad jealous.

Extreme Laser Sailing in the PE Harbour

9 February 2012

Young Thomas Ochabski is living the dream – hard sailing, great wind, spray in the face and an agile bucking laser underfoot/bum.

The above video was filmed by his father, Greg, of Thomas sailing in 22 to 26 knots in the Port Elizabeth Harbour.

Nothing beats the song of a Laser in full flight.
