Wow. That thing is absurd. 39 kts?! I'll be lucky to get to 9 kts under full sail dead downwind in a gale. And thats good enough for me.

Bananas. It’s just bananas….

[@SavingMaverick55]

@boatfools Takes a special kinda crazy to sail on a boat like that, but if that's what the skipper here is into, I say, go for it, dude.

One thing I didn't mention is how light it is in the cabin. The visibility in the cabin was really great. It felt more like being inside a car than in a boat cabin.

[@boatfools]

No teak below on that machine…

I haven't seen the video yet, but I read an article in today's NY Times " How a Self-Published Book broke all the rules and became a best seller" and thought of you. The book is "The Shadow Work Journal" and it doesn't sound good. But, it does document the decline of the traditional publishing industry, so I thought you might find it interesting. Now, for me, on to watching your video. Thanks.

[@boatfools]

Thanks for that heads up! I will check it out. And many thanks for watching!

Great interview, what a boat, could not imagine the expense. It’s a rocket ship. $ Millions

[@boatfools]

And I wonder what their shelf life is? A few years? A lot of money, for sure….

[@AngusJohnson-ei1kk]

Well this is a pissah clip.

[@boatfools]

Ha! Thank you!
