Among the more eye-catching vessels in the (TRANSPAC) starting area yesterday was the former record-breaking catamaran Cheyenne, which has been reconfigured to be the camera platform for Morning Light. The boat will tail the TP52 as the crew sails across the Pacific this week and into movie theaters near you next year. US Sail Level 2 Instructor US Sail Level 3 Coach | | | Re: It Just Gets...

Wouter Really?!?! Steve has the wherewithal to go after all kinds of records. He’s had his successes and failures, but he keeps plugging away until he reaches his goal. Sounds like a guy many people would like to emulate. Larry is, well, Larry. He’s a self-made gazillionair and confirmed blowhard but you’ve got to admire someone that will throw so much money around to have fun. You may say Bill Gates spends his money to improve the human condition and Larry wastes his on toys and gargantuan estates. I’d say that a lot of the money Larry has spent has created lots of jobs and improved sailing technology. It would have been very interesting if Larry had won and the AC was held on SF Bay. It’s a hell of a sailing venue for sailors and spectators. Both Steve and Larry have won races and respect. You should stick to your technical rants.

It would be impossible to get her up to date with the current boats. They are almost 10% faster than she was but for her time she was the hot rod.
For some reason she was my favorite of the G class Cats, I think it is the bows.
