Going up the mast.

Well that's on way of doing it.

Is that a real image?

I do hope so.

Cracking photo. I won't spoil the fun.

Works better on a phone - lol.

Any one know where it is.

She's got no safety line, so I am sceptical. Owners of speedboats can't be that stupid, surely.

I suspect that the speedboat is some distance behind the mast climber. Either a photo setup or serendipity!

The spreader would be right through the hull.

Nah. The speedboat got wedged in the mast after hitting a waterski jump by mistake and the person up the mast is pushing it back onto the forklift.

Pure speculation

I would cite the thread about the little get-together on Lake Travis, Texas.

Edit: But do either of them own the speedboat? Should one be asking "Are owners of sailboats that gullible?" or "Are owners of marinas that negligent of other people's property?"

They can be stupid in many ways (same as sailboats I suppose) - nobody is perfect.
Here is a classic example.
It sums up the average Florida boating culture very well.

There are so many videos on Youtube of Haulover Inlet - and they are very popular, with millions of views.

Not the stupidest example I've seen, but you could see it coming: boat overloaded in rolly conditions, then another speed boat comes past throwing up a big wake.

 

[KREW2]

Don't see many speed boats with figureheads these days.

This lady could probably have hoisted a diddy mobo up after her...
