You're right! Believe it or not, that is no ordinary rough weather/waves hiding some beachcat. That is the 90' ENZA New Zealand off of Brittany coast at the end of the Jules Verne Record voyage:







"1st April 1994. At sunrise, a rare beam of yellow light illuminates the heavy seas, sixty miles from the treacherous and rocky Brittany coast. The 28 metre long Enza New Zealand catamaran, skippered by Peter Blake and Robin Knox-Johnson, can be barely seen behind the breakers. She is progressing carefully under trysail only. In four hours, the proud Kiwi yacht will win the second Jules Verne Trophy, a non-stop circumnanvigation, in 74d 22h 17' and 22 seconds."
