The die hard racers are nuts. You round the upwind mark it could be blowing 30++ knots, if one boat pops the shoot everyone does. Then its hang on for dear life so you don't broach. But sometimes you do, then the carbon fiber spinniker pole goes BOOM.
what ever you said .. sounds like alot of fun...

When I was fishing with Surf we were coming back in through the channel markers and a sailing boat was motoring out.. So Surf punched it and made a big ass wake to screw with them... ^_^... oh well.. gotta have some form of fun
