We were racing in Marseille at the ISAF Worlds, when out of a marina comes Orange. They sailed by and buzzed the fleet. We tried to pace them before our start, in about 17-20kts, we were crankin', or so we thought. They blew by us like we were standing still. On deck, there was a **** party going on, with severs dressed in ties,h'ouredouves!!! , and people walking around like the boat was not even moving. The sheer size of the boat was incredible!
In the pic the Women were lining up for a start on Starboard. I think I heard a few of them trying to call for their rights!!!
Actuall, Orange was plenty clear of the start. It is th size and perspective of the pic that makes it cool.

It's "Marseille" and "Hors d'œuvres". I know, I'm a nit picking Frenchman, what can I say...
Nice pic!
Hey, a lot of posters can't spell in English, so I wouldn't get on anyone for misspelling a foreign language. Besides who has an "œ" on their keyboard?

Anyway, I have an option on an even faster trimaran. The guy said it would come available after Feb-10 and that it only sailed two races, he even threw in "some kiwis"? I asked for apples instead but he insisted. He only wanted $100 for it!
