Record des 24 heures en 60 pieds Open pour Dick et Peyron

Christ its like French Sunday here today? I dont know french but I think they have just been going very fast for the last 24hours and its a record now. It looks like they where ordering some kind of Chinese food take away as a celebration and a couple of beers?  I think they said something like “Who’s the BOSS now? or “Who’s yer daddy now or something like that, but i might be wrong. But Well done French Guys.

Well if I had to go round the world for community service it would be in a big bus like that thing. Its not something that I will ever be doing mind you, round the world that is. But it does look pure magic by the way. I wonder if there is a cafe on the boat for all that staff?

Direct to the Key West Stuff here

Big Thanks to Leighton O’Connor (fine Irish Name) for sending in some great shots and Video of the sailing stuff down at Key West Race Week. The photo above is from “Carbon Cental The Keys” where the Big Bucks hang out this weather while the rest of us freeze our nuts off,  really just another planet.

Leighton takes some of the best sailing pictures in the World and from all over the World. He says my favorite assignment to date was covering the 32nd America’s Cup in Valencia, Spain. My true passion is shooting from Helicopters. “Nothing gives you a bigger rush than being strapped into a helicopter and shooting with the door open, cruising 50 feet above the ocean at 110 miles per an hour!”

 Thanks for the stunning photo’s, Looking out for some more updates.

AC45 Launch Plan

Intresting insight into the issues of actually just getting the boat thing into the water. It reminded me of  a point where after doing all this amazing work, its just better to lOOk at  it all day than to get it wet. It is a great looking bird boat thing where ever it is. But have you noticed no toilet or bucket? Spooky Eh? Sailed by Andriods?
