Top Gear/AC45

   so then, having not watched it yet, does  the very fast, alleged glamour of an AC45 help promote sailing to the speed conscious, petrol headed, lifestyle show watching top gear junkie?  Or do they play the stereotypes and essentially say 'yachting' is a rich man's pointless activity?

	It didn't look like a comfy ride. but it is a shame they put the least energetic person in the world on board, who then just whinged. Hammond would have been a much better bet for enjoying the speed, even if still finding the ride hell.

	Happened to catch that last night... I must admit sooner them than me springs to mind: an hours blast on that beast would be one hell of an experience, but 200 plus miles... Mind you it would probably have been worse to be Clarkson's passenger...
