I'm reminded of an old saying we have in flying, "There's a thin line between brave and stupid."
So tell me Mr. Big Nutz, at what point does Big Balls turn into Fkng stupid? And how much "practice" did they accomplish? About all they learned was, "Well, I guess we won't do that again." Brilliant.
As Jake pointed out 33 is the upper limit for the big boats and they were still below that limit.
I'm quite sure they learned more than just "we won't do that again"?
Props to NZL for going out and learning how to go fast in ALL conditions!
Watching these guys run the big rigs in 30 knots is going to be spectacular and by the time they get to the big show they will make it look effortless.
