Good heavens! Half their boat is missing, that's really scary.
Thanks for the tip, I'll be certain to go watch this.
One thing they will not show you in the Movie is coming up to the finish line off the coast they reached out past the layline so they could then raise the spinnaker and have a good shot for the Helicopter.
Can you imagine skipper a boat out accross the pacific then having some Hollywood director telling you to over shoot the layline for the finish so he can get a good picture...
Let me think...he's PAYING for it?
OK Mr. Director, how would you like that spinnaker set? <img src=
