Team Seacats

Up this week?  A video shot by one of our good friends Brian Karr with www.adventureonline.tv as he filmed David Ingram leaving his wife to fend for herself on his Nacra F18 while he saves his hat.  We also get to see a really great angle of Scott and Dior Huble drive their Hobie Tiger into the deep.

126.1 Mph – a new land sailing speed record set by the Greenbird Project crushing the previous 116mph record that has stood since 1999 and was set by Bob Schumacher in the Iron Duck! Now that’s quick.

PS – no news about the America’s Cup Ruling yet but I’m keeping a vigilent eye open.

Oh, this is a goodie….well done.  Great soundtrack, good editing, great angles, and good action….and Ronald, thanks for the helmet.  This gets an A++!   Be sure to hang in there for the “deleted scenes” at the end.

Caught flying off the coast of Spain is the new(ish) Banque Populaire G-class Trimaran.  They’ve been waiting some time for a good weather window to launch their attempt at the Route of Discovery Record (the path of Christopher Columbus).  In absence of the good weather, they went out for an afternoon sail.  Wow…what a speed demon.  Report and video courtesy of Valenciasailing
