I don't know if these people are made of steel? or silly puddy?


This is extreme, and even with the latest of safety and weather
equipment, it lookslike a good way to get killed.

I can't imagine the guys doing this kind of stuff a couple-three
hundred years ago in the old sailing ships.



That's nothing. Absolute sissy weather. I remember a poster that used
to race his 2252 Bayliner in much rougher weather than that and he
never even got wet.....


Yes - But he is now the biggest - most referenced legend of
wrecked.boats. Next people will be singing songs about him. :-)
