I live by the ocean and when ever I see a sail boat go by I wish I knew how to sail. Some of these sail boats go from NJ to Bermuda without any gas. It really blows my mind that it's 2013 and a sail boat is still great method of getting to where you want to go by boat. You have to see these boats with kitchens, bathrooms with showers, and great sleeping quarters.

Nothing lucky.  They used their default boat and lost 8 to the kiwis then the USA with nothing to lose switched boats using a prototype they had.  They figured either they'll lose one more or this boat will give them the advantage.  All of a sudden with the new boat they are going 10 knots faster and kicking the shit out of the kiwis.  Their new boat must be using some sort of new composite to make it lighter because they were above water almost every race after and just flying.

I love sailboats... monohulls, and especially multi-hulls..

10 year goal is to have a 45ft cat in a slip in Tortola. :)... but i'd settle for a 33ft monohull in a slip in san diego :)
