Cool article on the MadForSailing website. You have to subscribe now, but they have lots of neat stuff there. The Scuttlebutt email newsletter (free) often has nice excerpts from there, as well ( see http://www.sailingsource.com/scuttlebutt/default.php ).





Here are links to two images from the article:

What multimillionaires won't do to spend their money in pursuit of a violent death at sea. The write up of this boat reads like a littany of near calamity. However if the owner ever asked me to to go sailig... hell yah I would! I don't care how expirienced any multihuller is... at 39 kts you gotta be smiling on the outside but wondering on the inside, "am I going to live if this thing takes a digger?!?!"

Nice Photo!
