A blog for those who would like to be out there sailing more, have ambitions to go far but are currently focused mainly on the planning.

Even if you're over 100 years old, you can obviously still be very trendy. The venerable Yachting Monthly magazine has launched its own You Tube channel.
Neither ball valves nor Shadow's other blog seem to have much to do with sailing!
This ended up getting posted twice because I originally posted this one direct from You Tube and it took 5 days to appear...I'll take one of them down later.
This is about as far from leisurely cruising as you can get. The French "Hydroptère" team ran through the 45 knot barrier in December and is closing in on the elusive 50 knots - the sailing equivalent of the sound barrier in post-WWII aviation. Check out the video on their home page if you think you've ever had a 'sleigh ride' down-wind. Impressive to note that they hit this speed with what appears to be two reefs in the main.
