Amazing.

Looks like there is a sailing contender back in the loop (literally)

someone should tell them that they could have saved a lot of money...only about 2000 Euro needed for the same result and even faster ;-)

Hardly the same result, that boat is incredible doing 50 knots in 23 knots!! Admittedly I never thought he could ever do it, totally impressive, shame he flipped it!! :(
