Intresting video From Paul Larsen1, we said almost two years ago that The Rocket would be the first to break the sailing yacht 50 kts barrier, however hard they try and they really do try big time, it does need constant atention and some re-build work from time to time? it still looks like a total winner and I for one think that they will do it soon. Nice water transport if you can get it, Warning “dont watch this video with the sound off” it looks like that helmet you are so fond of gets bigger each time you stroke it.

The Green Dragon team have caused damage to their boat during an ”Irish gybe” in a 50 knot gust… I believe the “Irish Gybe” is a variation of the “Chinese Gybe” only with the result being a broken boom. Not fast! Read More Here…
