Does this give you an adrenaline rush?

Thats the trouble with pushing hard, boat acts more like a submarine than a yacht

 

[gregmlucas]

Must remember not to show it to SWMBO if she's ever going to take up sailing

Yea ha!

 

[fireball]

I'd've loved to been on board! /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif .... would certainly be exciting and probably slightly scary too! /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Well you've obviously got the right job then!
Speaking as a fairweather sailor it looks very cold and wet to me.

Now's your chance. They are recruiting for the next time round.

if you can afford it and are happy to pay for it!

 

[Brian_B]

Or you work for BP (like me) and are mad enough to try it!

I consider anyone who races wound the world to be mad. Anyone who does it backwards needs locking up!

 

[cameronke]

Astounding!

Gone all goosebumps!

Love the bits when people are bowled over like skittles and one guy nearly dissapears before being grabbed by a crewmate

Love it- we had gales on the week I spent on a Challenge boat, nothing quite as big as that footage, but big enough to get the horizontal waterfall up to your chest when on the foredeck. It does really big things for me, but I'd still rather be on the helm.

I like the bit of footage where the wave has gone past the pit, then the crew member falls off his perch after the wave has gone.

Very very satisfying- wet and cold, but satisfying.

Look's awesome. - But not awesome for hour's on end.
still flipping awesome, can someone pay for me?

 

[woody001]

just watched it again - must be scary with breaking wave's coming astern!
