Sail Boat speed record Wow!!!

And then on land  

I like high speed sailing. I had a Boston Whaler Supercat in the 1990's and it was extremely stable and fast. Loved it.

I had a buddy that had a 27' Stiletto Catamaran. We used to sail with him all the time. I took Christine for her first sailing experience on it. (She was hooked.)

He won the prestigious Dauphin Island Race in the '90's. He was so fast, the speedboat that blew the horn for the start of the race and normally raced to the finish and witnessed the finish... had to witness Joe's finish through binoculars... he was WAY ahead of the speedboat!

I thought of you when I saw the vid  Hope you liked it.................

I had a sailboard, but didn't really get into it. Of course, I never tried to surf with it like in this video. The second half of the video is the really good stuff.

I have been looking for the Warren Miller sailing movie that we used to have in the 1980's. It is kinda dated, but it covered all kinds of sailing... mostly racing... and it was very entertaining. Can't find it.

In this movie, I remember one old racing sailboat called Ragtime. It was a Maxi yacht (probably @90 feet) and it was wooden, but it leaned so far over the end of the boom would drag in the water. It was filmed on the annual Transpac race from California to Hawaii.
