Great stuff Ronald, thanks for the links!

And here's another kind of wild sailing, the Australian 18' skiffs, their season is getting underway down under, they have a live streaming You Tube Chanel, I was watching their Sunday race late last night (Saturday night in the States), check this out, it starts with the fleet leaving the launch area, the Double Bay Sailing Club, there's about no wind because it's in a sheltered cove, but as soon as they get out past the point, into Sydney Harbor, it's game on with 20kt gusts.

Skip ahead to 9 minutes in, check out how fast the white boat is going under kite after the gybe:
