They make it look like the big tri is faster but the board is the fastest
craft out there. Been there, done that! My boardsailing record is 43mph.
That's fifteen years ago. Clocked on police radar. F2 Bullit sinker, Da
Kine split foil, high aspect ratio skeg, Da Kine seat harness, 7.5 m2
Mylar RAF, 35knot off-shore wind, flat water off a causeway, skinsuit,
body weight 180lbs. NOBODY, and I say it again, NOBODY here but myself is
man enough to handle a 7.5 square meter sail in a 35 knot wind. NOBODY!

That is truly impressive... and you gave it all up for a Swan 68.
How can you live with yourself?
