Saw this new tri the other day online and thought it wouldn't hurt to have a thread dedicated to going balls out on water.

The semi foiling IMOCA 60s look to be getting better balanced each year. Vendee Arctique, the warmup up for the next Vendee Globe.

it can be a problem when the boat hits a pothole and you slow suddenly to 20kts or so. for that reason you always sleep with feet facing forward.

there are also crash nets to stop your feet meeting the skull of the guy in he bunk forward of you.
