Uh Oh!
Looks like the MOD 70’s experienced yet another capsize just a couple of weeks ago while practicing for the Transat Jacques Vabre. It’s pretty serious when these things go over as Team Spindrift can vouch for with their spill back in June in Dùn Laoghaire, Ireland.

25-35 Knots of Wind and a Spinnaker Set
This is how you pitch pole properly…… [youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dXM_93TIMZE&w=560&h=315] I like the “Juuuhuuuu!” from the camera boat at :35. They make it look like it’s just ‘plane’ fun, although somehow I doubt it. Well……. maybe.
A True World Cruiser
I don’t know what it is, but I really like this boat. It almost looks armored…. [youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dM4Rzcm_Df0&w=560&h=315] Where do you want to go we are ready! Check out the JourneymanSailing channel for more vids.

Just a Quickie
Since I have been slacking a little this week (it has been really busy around here), here is a little entertainment that I found on good old YouTube.

A Clip from the Clipper Around the World Race
An accomplished sailor by the name of Sir Robin Knox-Johnston does a wonderful narration about his favorite leg of the Clipper Around the World Race: The Pacific Ocean. [youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1PiXa7ewGzc&w=560&h=315] This race is proving itself more and more of an attraction around the world, giving opportunities to those who wish to seek the thrill ride of an ocean crossing or perhaps…
Remember This Crazy ……..
…… Guy! Gabor Rakonczay rowed across the Atlantic Ocean, alone. This took place at the overlap of the 2011/ 2012 year. I just figured it needed a second mention. Crazy! ……… We don’t get something like this every day, but if someone knows someone who knows someone…. Hungarian Gabor Rakonczay is attempting to cross the Atlantic…
A Look Back at VOR
Here are some great highlights from the closest Volvo Ocean Race/ Whitbread Cup ever in the history of the two race’s.

Stamm’s Handful
Stole this one again from sailinganarchy.com. This might be what happens when you try and go sailing around the world by yourself, in a race. Fast forward to 00:50 to begin the action. Enjoy….
