it's quite mesmerising
some weird hybrid of a boat, jet foil, hovercraft and a plane
just tootling along at 40 knots on three thin slices of carbon fibre
sails barely moving,
nosebow pointing dangerously downwards, looking like it'll turn into a submarine at any momentand those dude who just keep winding, wind wind wind wind, what exactly are they doing ? i've sailed and pulled in the main sail it doesn't take a huge amount of time but those guys continuosly wind, surely with these high tech boats is it entirely nessecary
heck they are even pedalling now
