hey that's awesome! The music is a bit corny though, it sounds like they're trying to coax us all to get along. But it's a nice example of everyone getting along all the same.

How **** hot are those sailing trimaran thingummys! You'd probably struggle to do inverted tricks with them, but other than that they look like fun.

A bit less then you would pay for a space ship I rekon. Those shot of that beast flying the hull are truly spectacular

Yeh good lightwind fun if you got 10 million to throw around. You've got to store the ****er and put a hectare of sails away. For a couple of grand you can grab a kite or a windsurfer.


The magic 50 knot record is close to being smashed by a kite or a windsurfer. Those sailing wallies will only beat 50 knots in the car on the way to the yacht club.

You can live to kite but u cant live on a kite! Id be careful bagging 'sailing wallies' as id rekon a lot of people on this forum would be a hybrid of sailor. That video is worthy of replacing my porn collection... But I still cant get over that gay music.

I turn the music down and listen to a Massive Attack song called angel. Makes the video sooooo much better.

How good is the second clip from the top of that 60' Tri honking along in 30+ knots in big seas!!???
That would be something I would love to do. Just have to find a spare 10 mill to get one of those awesome yachts.

Merry Christmas everyone

So how much do you think that trimaran is worth?
Boats would have to be one of the biggest money pits ever!

1 open the file in youtube
2 copy the URL into this site (http://javimoya.com/blog/youtube_en.php)
3 press the download button on the right
4 save to disk
5 Download an flv player (available from same page)
6 get a bigger hard drive and enjoy

If anyone here decides to buy one of these things, I would skipper it free of charge and pay my own expenses. But if something brakes you would have to pay for that.
