Why do they all wear orange prison clothes? I see 3 great sails.
To be seen if they fall overboard

Impressive to watch the guy climb the mast! What is he holding on to? The harbor seems very crowded. Too many boats for my liking; kyaks and a whole lot of things to crash into!
He's suspended with a halyard (a kind of rope that is used to raise the sails up)
There were about 100 boats racing all other thousands where spectators!

Which other boats were in this shoot?
Can't remember, they where too far behind us, we won the race!

The night shots are fascinating! I guess there's no helicopter for that!
Nope! the morning after the night, when shooting a great surf, one wave (you can see it in the movie) came on board and took me some 30 feet further aft, fear!

Part of the movie has water on the lens of the camera. I tried to wipe it off my precious Eizo!
I had a waterproof box, this was really strong bad weather, it doesn't seem as the boat is really big (140') but we had more than 55 knots of wind and huge waves in the Tasmania straight...
Asher Kelman said:
The sailing looks very technical with so many crew working together. However, they do well and the boat is a great lady! Must be a thrill to sail her.
Yes! despite the rough weather, it is one of my best sailing souvenir!
The crew were from New Zealand, Australia and French. All paid professionnals.
