This link will take you to a photo of George C. Scotts's 80-foot Ditmar
Donaldson "trying this at home" back in 1979. Same location. Wave height

For more details, select "About the Photo Above" from the bottom of the

brokerage- but this is purely an invitation to view a photo and you can
do so without wading through a lot of boats for sale).

A little larger view of the same shot:
