Yeah, that was me on the first photo :). Since I do sail almost all year I am used to do these sort of "stunts". The wind was calm, the weather was good and my balance is great as well... so I dont drop into the water... and even take my camera with me :)
to be honest, I do not have too much information about the organizers of these races but for the next post I will include what I can find - that was a good call from you!
None of the organizers is on board but all the ships have an automatic identification system which sends the location and various infos about the boat (speed, heading.. etc) to a webpage where the race is monitored :)
glad you like that post macoolette :)
fair winds,
R.
Ah, since you're used to those stunts then maybe you can try cartwheel on that sail boom next time. I would love to see a video or at least a gif photo. 😃
