Jul 26, 2008 - Legendary footage! This set a standard... for years, cat sailors have been trying to duplicate this scene on film, and to have had the camera right there, at the right time is very random; not-to-mention how challenging it is to line-up a run at the break-zone without getting caught on the inside.Is there equalled or more intense footage for catamarans out there?
