Hi Guys,



Loved the clip, looks awsome.



Are any of you guys from Australia.



For many years we had an 18 foot skiff circuit televised in the lunch breaks of the cricket. This was a huge hit for sailors and non-sailors alike and you regularly heared non sailors comenting about it and how crazy it was. The footage was shot from helicopters and chase boats. The comintators were ex sailors that spoke both sailing lingo and laymons talk. They also explaned the technical side of the race eg what they were doing zig-zaging everwhere.



Just in case any of you do not know what an 18 foot skiff is, it is an 18 foot monohull with a bowspit, asmetrical kite, 3 crew on trapeze at the end of wings with tramp mesh and are the fastest sail boat in the world behind the Tornado, capable of in excess of 30 knots.



Would love to seethe same thing done with cats



Regards
