All Alu masts, F18 rule.
30knots and huge waves, not strange at all, it was survival conditions they've told me.
Good point. Anyone with the cahones to even attempt racing with a chute in 30 knots probably needs to have their heads examined...

I raced just up the coast from there in those kind of conditions. Shallow water big current and huge steep waves that are very close together all with cold gusty wind. Went swimming a lot as that was not anything I had ever seen even close to before that.
It is racing though and this was the World championship. If the guy ahead or behind of you puts up his chute you have to follow. If he does not go over you were not going to beat him anyway. If he does go over, you can douse it after you pass him up.
