Sailing in the Pool Ever thought about sailing in the pool? How about sailing in the 2 kilometre long ’swimming pool’ at the San Alfonso del Mar resort in Algarrobo, Chile. The pool allows guests to not only swim...

Paul Larsen is BACK in the driving seat with the SAIL ROCKET TEAM in the race to break the 50kts barrier. Paul has been away doing some other big fast boat sailing for alittle while and I was just thinking what is that dude up to? I hope he sends some updates to me soon as You know I like his stuff. But then I remembered that I printed some outrageous headline and he sort of took the HUFF although I did sort of say sorry sort off without actually saying it, so well just keep it that way and see if he sends us something or just wants me to make it up.

Thats right Boaters TV’s Julie show us the big ones (nice ones) from the Biggest Boat show on the planet. The Fort Lauderdale Show is pure stunning in most ways. Marine Blast was there a few years ago en-route to Key West Week. Our fine yacht parked in the Marina and was dwarfed by the Super Yachts. It was real eye opener for the Scottish pure white boys who had’nt seen the sun in a few months and thought it was a UFO for the first few days. Yes we did’nt see anything UGLY there at all. And to top it all off got thrown out of HOOTERS for something to do with a table leg or something.

From Cameron Miles
Well, as you may have heard the Rolex Middle Sea Race did not end as we had all expected for LOKI at 5.15pm on Sunday evening our time.
We have lost the boat on the northern shore of the Sicilian coastline, she is lying on a sandy beach with some rocks surrounding her. The [...]

About 12 months ago we were pimping the great new e-mag that Live Sail Die was producing. It never eventuated, and some of you actually assumed that it didn’t exist. But it did! It was actually completed in conjunction with Ask Huey, but due to a change of direction for the site, it never actually [...]

This without doubt is one of the most extreme sailing videos that I have ever seen. You must simply watch it to the end, that’s if you can make it to the end through your own TEARS. It’s very well made and can only be described as a full length feature film. The Budget alone would bring a tear to a glass eye. It Charters the now legendary epic trip of a Team of Scottish Sailors from the Clyde who against all odds actually get to the start of the ROLEX FASTNET RACE 2007.
What the Papers say:
TheGlasgow Hearld “It is without any doubt a tale of passion, love, and hate for the Deep Sea”
TonyBlair “I could not stand the hashness of the weather, its tougher than facing Prime Minister’s Question Time” when you have fucked it up again.”
The Tax Man “So thats where all the fuckin money went”
The Big Issue “Fuck me man I thought my life on the streets was hard” but thats totally harder man. RESPECT”.
