I bet he needs new undies after that effort.

When I saw this video and post I just thought it was old news. Then I followed some links from another sailing record site and discovered that this is actually a recent incident and the SECOND time Sailrocket has flipped.

I think these guys should have convinced themselves by now that they have a stability problem!

I hope they can fix it 'cause that thing obviously has the potential to go really fast if they can keep it on the water.

Another view of the crash from a different angle. Great to hear he is uninjured.

maybe they should enter it into some freestyle comps.

haha maybe they should give it a go in the waves
it got some good height as well

as for the flipping over part slide the mast base forward haha

it's acceleration is amazing eh? looks like it will blitz everything else if they ever manage to keep it on the water

they will certainly soon have the record under there belts after the rite day,they should be at sandy point

We love our speed strip but for those guys and the conditions they need, they are probably better off where they are. Even the MI guys considered it as a possibly more reliable venue for their requirements. Remember these guys are looking for consistent 20-25 knots of wind rather than the 35-40 knot gales we prefer.
