  • The story of Michael Blackburn's crossing of one of the most feared waterways on the planet in a 4.2m Olympic Laser sailing dinghy (2005).
    They said he was crazy, but he raced across 200+kms of Bass Strait in 13 hours.
    Filmed by West Ashton.

    This is just amazing I don’t understand how anyone could possibly be able to just keep going for so long and to be so calm at the same time

    That is 1 hell of a long port tack. All my respect for your challenge. Being a fellow Laser sailor I am very impressed. Well done

      Amazing he didn't cramp up being on one tack for so long. I thought the 2 mile beat on port to the race course sailing out of Chicago Corinthian in a Northeaster was long...!

    I did the run from the south tip of Molokai to Diamond head in my Laser in the late 80's. Ok, I get it, what 30 miles, 75 degree water, but it was blowing 25 plus and the channel was pumping up some awesome monster waves. Awesome task mate, nice job, and great adventure..
