What can I say, this could replace the Ladies Volley ball world series? Could you ride this and for how long for? Do you think you could keep it up for the entire ride.

(Monday 18 February 2008) Last night at 2343 GMT, in 30knots and 7m breaking seas the 105ft maxi trimaran Groupama 3 capsized south east of New Zealand when the leeward float broke, causing the two beams to rupture. The crew of 10, including Alinghi bowman, Jan Dekker, are safe and were airlifted at 0330 and flown to Dunedin on New Zealand’s South Island. Groupama 3 had only recently entered the Pacific Ocean and after 24 days at sea had just passed the half way stage of the non-stop round the world attempt on the Jules Verne Trophy. At the time of the incident, the maxi trimaran was a day ahead of current record holder Orange II, Bruno Peyron’s maxi catamaran.

Marine Blast (JR) enjoying a wee after race refreshment.
Right that’s it, I’ve had enough about Opies, Toppers and children’s boats. I’ve been reading Magnus rule69 blog regarding what his wee son is going to do when he grows up and now that Ian Walkers wean has joined the competition to be the fastest Kid on the water, I just can’t take anymore of sitting on the side lines and not saying that you’re both way too late. Ma wee boy yachtsman will be one next Satuarday and he has already got a One hundred % attendance record for both Scottish Series and West Highland Week where he found time between feeds to learn some Farr40 racing. So guys what’s your weans won? you have I’m afraid left it all a little too late at 4 months old. You should be reported to Child line, Dinhgies? I ask you, they prob even use wet suits. Aye as we say soft.
