Maybe not awesome but I'm embarrassed to say I laughed:

That was GREAT!!! I think we've all had days like that

I laughed too

Wow - were did you get that clip of Matt on November 9th of last year...

I think it's funny the way he completely vandalizes the place but makes sure not to leave any scraps on the ground. Neatness counts!

Also I love the way he wails the mailbox on the ground before tossing it.

Exactly! If it's clean nobody will notice it's gone.

That's a Federal offense right there.  You don't mess with the mail!  One of my brothers got dragged out of our home in cuffs the day before he was leaving for college because hecand some friends thought it would be funny to blow up mailboxes with m-80s.

Well, the Volvo Ocean Race has started up again, so it is all about sailing at SBRHQ these days. Until we can ski, at least.

Looking into the background of one of the skippers, David Witt of Team Scallywag, I stumbled across this gem. This is the sailing equivalent of a pro skier straightlining a mogul field and pulling it off. The Australian commentary is awesome as well:



Edit: the boat is an "18 Foot Skiff" which is generally considered to be the fasted non-foiling monohull at the moment.

Cool sailing. Straight lining a Mogul field and blowing up is me like it. I looked through this thread and saw some very entertaining videos.

Cool.  The boat looks like a 49er/.  Probably same class, right?

Similar boats, for sure. The 49er is an Olympic class but the 18 is not. Plus the 18 is two feet longer and carries more sail. From Wikipedia "The 49er's name comes from its hull length of 4.99 metres. It incorporates ideas developed in Julian Bethwaite's 18ft Skiffs, notably the Prime Computer series of boats, which were double handers."

Just saw this..  Back in March while touring Aus, Bon and I did the obligatory Sydney deal of taking the ferry to Manly (Beach .. Watched the last day of the Australian open of Surfing) anyway, while crossing Sydney Harbour the 18's were all out racing... Balls to the wall, absolutely wild to see them live and up close.  They passed our Ferry on a close reach..  Others that had already turned the buoy on the downwind leg were flying substantial spinnakers .. It looked like only about a foot or so of the stern of the skiff was in the water.. I'll try to find the pics I took.

If anyone has a boat like this and needs a crew, PM me.  Yes, I've sailed before.

That was darn cool ^^^^
