Who ever said you need a canting keel to go fast ?

Well today the Olympic class boats showed us how it was done. Fantastic and rough conditions put everyone to the test.

Sailors, coaches, my boat driver and even my camera equipment. Between the Heads a good two metre swell (if not more) challenged every boat.

From the Finn class to the Manly Ferry.

Boats were tossed everywhere and with a bit of planning and luck some of them flew by me and put on a show we have not seen for a while.
