This sat i was sailing with a buddy on a twin mystere 5.5 (same sails and everything)
we went south under 1 bridge and went by the sailing center
we noticed a cool boat rigging and went for a peek
low and behold it was our friend Robbie Daniel on a flying phantom with wing-seats
he asked us to sail upwind and reaching - we tried to keep up . 🙂
Neat! Fun! Fast
Robbie makes all boats look easy to sail...
Redgear is on their game.
He is the nicest guy too
great ambassador to the sport
I raced against him a few times... always neat to see how well he manages every part of the course

Both Robbie and Jill are top notch ambassadors to the sport. Took one of their F16/F18 clinics a few years back.
Now I know how those Getaways feel.
I actually had them beat for a few seconds... then he sheeted in
I felt like a bigwheel racing a ferrari
,.. then he sheeted in. :lachen:
Champ surfer John John Florence has a new flying phantom at our club. He took it out for its maiden flight w/ a gaggle of photo chase boats and a few local sailors in tow.
I didn’t bother following them, cuz I didn’t want to be immortalized as the “poster child” of slow boats.
Enjoyable video, thx 4 posting. The fast boat looks great, but so does just cruising the warm, blue-green waters in style.
