It's official: Frank Pong's Jelik II is so quick that she pulls a rooster tail behind her. This shot comes from today's Around the Islands Race at the Royal Langkawi International Regatta.

Frank has so far not been available for comment, but we are sure that he will be pleased with the progress of his optimisation programme for light air sailing.
