Extreme sailing
Not sure if this is the right forum for this but happy to be redirected. This U tube video link was posted on our trailer sailer forum here in Australia and I was not sure if anybody had picked up on it on the MacGregor site. Definitely worth a look at.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FWINygISxDE Enjoy Cheers Nick

Re: Extreme sailing
Great fun, and the wind is free.
Anyone can race around with two large marine engines sucking gas and belching pollutants, but it takes a wee bit of skill to do it under sail. That is what separates us from the commoners. I love it.

Not even if you mounted a suzi 140 on the back would you be able to do that Leon.
When are you gonna get one of those tri's so we can do some REAL hard core extreme sailing????
Gotta be you, cause it ain't gonna be me...

Re: Extreme sailing
Maybeo one of these:
Cool little 15 foot (toy-tri) Rigs in 15 minutes... comes with a trailer, main, jib & screecher on a furler. Will take up to three adults... but you'll need a wet suit. The thing screams under sail... something like 20 kts with enough wind.... but no motor so if the wind dies, you're paddling.
These were feautred in September's issue of Sail Mag. Don't see any prices though... I bet they aint cheap.
