And It Begins

My buddy Mischa de Munck sent me this vid of the first training session in Muiderzand at our club. Although I wouldn’t be too keen on the jazzersize, I’m looking forward to training this winter when I get back from Dubai.

Chilled Bones to Sandy Toes

Time to cut out for the brighter skies of Dubai to get my tan on. The On The Water Anarchy crew is already there enjoying the UAE Moth Nationals.
After a Bloody Mary or two I’ll be at Puma Moth World Championships to help cover, comment and bring it live! Stay tuned to Sailing Anarchy [...]

Ma pochette indique le mauvais âne là-dessus

Funny enough, the first time I paid attention to the Jules Verne Trophy was in 2004 when Steve Fossett dissed it and said he wouldn’t pay the ‘entry fee’ just to have his name on a trophy. Maybe he just wasn’t French enough, or maybe he knew his name was so big he didn’t need [...]

A Tease

Here is a quick pre-teaser from Sail Innovation. In the end, it gives you a tiny taste of what is happening with their teams in France, and what the next video will contain. Really good video quality as well.
Also, on Catsailingnews there is a really good interview of Alex Udin of Sail Innovation. It shows [...]

AC 33 On The Water Anarchy Inside Vid

This was all taken with my Olympus handheld and is NOT official video. Enjoy,

Extreme 90

Tornado Sport, Morrelli & Melvin and Marstrom have teamed up on the Extreme 90. When Tornado Sport first came out with the Extreme 40 there were doubters everywhere, but look at what it has become!
The idea is not dead for a multi in the next Cup. Mascalzone Latino didn’t rule it out [...]

AC33 PRIZEGIVING

Petey right in the mix. His footage is incredible for the prizegiving and after.

Bringin It Live

I have a new story up on Sailing Anarchy. Scroll down a few stories.
Even though Alinghi got rocked, they have some pretty hot followers. My quest tomorrow morning before racing is to interview as many hotties as possible because I’ve been trapped in the black box of journalism.
I have met an amazing number [...]
