Yeah but notice how the images have been taken! No RIB, no wake... Must have been a low-flying helicopter. Not an amateur job...

...

and neither is the other clip you've shown us, Wave Rider. It's an extract of a TV programme I saw about 3 years ago. Some of the footage has been taken straight out of the TV programme. Some of the interviews seem to have been added, or maybe I don't remember too well. Anyone with a better memory? 

 

PS. I wonder how much disturbance that windsurfer would have got from the chopper?

Some impressive speeds for a national 12

Whaddya mean .. 12's are fast - well they feel pretty lively ...

Mental not - fantastic fun yes!  Never managed to sink one yet and  I've been sailing them for over 30 years in all sorts of  winds.

I sailed with a crew new to the class at the weekend (used to crewing an Albacore at top level and helming a Europe). She loved it commenting on how rewarding the boat was to the crew as moving her little weight to the right place made such an appreciable difference. There was never a dull moment.

Cheers

You can buy an ointment for that these days...
