Thanks, Kimo!
The sheer speed of these boats these days is absolutely incredible......all controlled from inside to boot !...... dangerous methinks, even the sea sounds pissed off with its roaring hiss
It is extra-ordinary, isn't it, Guess Hoo?
Outstanding; congratulations on the rocket speed last night! Look forward to your next post!
Thanks, Ted!
Go Malama Go!

Wow, feast or famine. Amazing to see how fast you are when you have the wind to fill your sails. Ride it as long as you can. Great job
Thanks, Scott!

Thanks, Cathy!
I do like me some Charlie Enright (-8
We like him too!
You know it's really a travesty that the VO65'S aren't in this race as they still outrun these so-called hyper fast boats. The last Ocean race set records on the north Atlantic crossing leg that these boats have yet to match and they are also proving to be nowhere nearly as durable or tough as the VO65'S. Quite frankly for me at least I have all but lost interest in this once truly iconic race. Change for the sake of change has become the norm in this world, much to the detriment of far too many activities. Moving from the VO70'S to the VO65'S proved an upward move for the betterment of this race, but the move to these foiling things to me is a big step backwards. Just my humble opinion.
You realise you sound like an old git yeah?
@@TomTheSurgen1 what's wrong, does the truth hurt?
I’m not in agreement with any of that. Boats improve and things move forward. The reason there are no V65’s is that no one wanted to sponsor one. Maybe you should have done so if you wanted to see them in the race.
If there is an improvement in the boats why aren't they matching the speed potential of the VO65'S? I understand from a sponsorship perspective, if in fact that is the reason. There didn't seem to be a problem on the last series. In terms of durability and toughness the current fleet doesn't hold up at all. As I said before, just my opinion.
