Dont under estimate those Spencer boats,

 

They been zipping thru Cook Strait just like Infidel in those vids for 40 years now,

30 years and even 20 years ago, off the wind no other boats stood a chance.

 

The most intense scariest on the edge in control sh*t Ive done in a sail boat - Spencer 45 full flight in Cook Strait - Blowing 45 - 50 kts Gusting plenty more.. Sweet .. (On the edge ?? You dont really know untill you cross that line)

Downhill in big breeze with all the big gear up is pretty cool, Ok there's been a few broaches but never, not one chinese in 25 years

 

Dry ?? - maybe youve seen them before, these 4 shots show not always

Too bad they stopped starting races with 50kts in the forcast - Not like The Good Old days when you were guaranteed some action

 

Has anyone got thoughts for a decent vid set up other than the Go Pro - lets know

 

thanks

PS - Heading for San Francisco in the next week or so - See ya there

Me crapping on about Spencer boats is probly wearing a bit thin by now.

Having a guy go over the side and out of sight for 30 - 40 minutes was "The most intense scariest on the edge in control sh*t Ive done in a sail boat"

 

The bastard (In a good way) busted the life lines and stanchion

 

But thats another story
