Paul Larsen Back on Duty

October 31, 2007

Paul Larsen is BACK in the driving seat with the SAIL ROCKET TEAM in the race to break the 50kts barrier. Paul has been away doing some other big fast boat sailing for alittle while and I was just thinking what is that dude up to? I hope he sends some updates to me soon as You know I like his stuff. But then I remembered that I printed some outrageous headline and he sort of took the HUFF although I did sort of say sorry sort off without actually saying it, so well just keep it that way and see if he sends us something or just wants me to make it up.

Julie Shows The Big Ones From Fort lauderdale boat show

October 31, 2007

Thats right Boaters TV’s Julie show us the big ones (nice ones) from the Biggest Boat show on the planet. The Fort Lauderdale Show is pure stunning in most ways. Marine Blast was there a few years ago en-route to Key West Week. Our fine yacht parked in the Marina and was dwarfed by the Super Yachts. It was real eye opener for the Scottish pure white boys who had’nt seen the sun in a few months and thought it was a UFO for the first few days. Yes we did’nt see anything UGLY there at all. And to top it all off got thrown out of HOOTERS for something to do with a table leg or something. 

ROLEX FASTNET RACE Extreme Video Footage VIDEO

October 23, 2007

This without doubt is one of the most extreme sailing videos that I have ever seen. You must simply watch it to the end, that’s if you can make it to the end through your own TEARS. It’s very well made and can only be described as a full length feature film. The Budget alone would bring a tear to a glass eye. It Charters the now legendary epic trip of a Team of Scottish Sailors from the Clyde who against all odds actually get to the start of the ROLEX FASTNET RACE 2007.

What the Papers say: 

TheGlasgow Hearld “It is without any doubt a tale of passion, love, and hate for the Deep Sea”

TonyBlair “I could not stand the hashness of the weather, its tougher than facing Prime Minister’s Question Time” when you have fucked it up again.”

The Tax Man “So thats where all the fuckin money went”

The Big Issue “Fuck me man I thought my life on the streets was hard” but thats totally harder man. RESPECT”.

Middle Sea Race: Rambler on record pace, but fleet Shiting itself from the weather

October 21, 2007

 The 28th Rolex Middle Sea Race looked to be mirroring almost exactly its British cousin, the Rolex Fastnet, as retirement after retirement is phoned into the Royal Malta Yacht Club Race Control, whilst the front-runner makes record-breaking progress towards the finish. After a relatively benign start yesterday, the trouble began as yachts began to reach to the Sicilian coast. At 1600 today some twenty-two yachts had retired including four of the big ones – Titan 12 (USA), Valkyrie (CAN), Whisper (IRL) and Ourdream (GBR) – leaving thirty-five still racing. (more…)
