Sailing, Sailing and Flying (across the water)

My notes. - PW

Sail Fast
This one’s like a sailing highlights reel. Worth a watch.
Highlights of some of the regattas this past racing season.

Supermaxi Maximus Breaking Mast
Those darn plastic parts!
Maximus, the New Zealand 98ft Carbon racer in the Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup 05. One of the worlds most advanced racing yachts capable of 35+ kts looses her mast metres from the finishing line.

Trimarans - Lunatic Sailing
Those crazy French sailors! This one is great. If you have to wear ski goggles, you know you’re sailing fast.
Intense sailing.

This is yacht racing
Who says sailors aren’t athletes? More high speed action.
