A pitchpole "How To". Love the scene where the crew goes flying forward of the boat....

I'm dying to see these AC45's fleet race in high winds, in the video they were just practicing! It could be wild with nine of these crossing back and forth in 25 knots.

How do you think a beach cat would handle this wave? It is real, was filmed as part of a video for Billabong, surfer's name is Mike Parsons. Wow.

The fun way to destroy a Hobie Tiger....I don't speak french, but by just watching the first segment of the video, you'll get the jist of the story. It gets ineresting at 3mins into the vid.
AC45 Promo video for the America's Cup...I like this one.

When I was 16, I got up on ski's behind a Stiletto catamaran. The boat in this vid is a tri, but still its cool to see it pulling a skier.

Keep the pointy side up!
Not cats, but some wild capsizes in Lasers and 470's. I've raced both and feel for these guys - the instantaneous wipeouts and the long, slow, inevitable ones.
Check out what happens at :40. Nacra F18's....
Its not a Hobie, Nacra, or Prindle. But, it is one quick cat...wow.

Okay, back to the sailboats.
