and the remake of Thomis Crown Affair. He said he was the first one to jump off the cat before it flipped.

And thought to be the only sailor to have won the Worrell 1000, an Olympic medal, and the America's Cup!

But Tim, seriously though, the guy is a pro and I don't think it's fair for him to compete in a regatta with us mere mortals. I mean, what's the point in me getting out there when I know Randy is on the water? It's not like I can beat him.

Hey all,

Not sure why it didn't immediately occur to me that I have pictures of Randy's creation! Maybe because its not news to me or something like that. Anyway, enjoy.


By the way...I beat Randy Smyth in a sailing Race!!!

Dude...what took you so long to share!? That thing is a gorgeous piece of carbon simplicity.

And fast too, not only because Randy was at the helm. He beat the Tronado into the first checkpoint by almost 40 minutes I think? Some of this might be unstepping the T's mast...but keepin up with a T is impressive anyhow.

That is one amazing looking -outside of the box- boat! Who designed it, and who built it? And better yet, do you have any pictures of it sailing fast? And where do you sit, out on that net thing at the Ama? Kind of like a sailing canoe with the sliding hiking board?

"Not sure why it didn't immediately occur to me that I have pictures of Randy's creation! "

Geez. To think I almost didn't click on your link because of this description.... Thought it was NSFW until I thought about it some more. LOL!

You think that's funny. When I click on it at work this is what I got:
