First of all, I am really impressed with the twist with these 2012 Sails the racing pros can put in their leach areas. Second, Dunkie's crash was more of a collapse from what I could see. A yard sale would be an over-the handle bars catapult with a boom-mast separation and a sail with three sheets to the wind. Lastly, back to the big guy/small dude debate, professional class sailors all seem to be at least in the light heavy weight class except for the freestyle specialists. Most of these racers are using equipment I would use in similar winds and elicit jokes or awe struck (perhaps dumb founded) looks on the beach. |

Dunkerbeck's mast broke right at the boom. Amazing how violent the crash looked even though he was going down backwards kinda slowly. |

The ladder shows Josh advanced at least one rung.....but hard to tell what is happening as i am in the land of minimal connectivty
Josh: I am pretty sure the crew will pony up to put you in the "colors"....that's a no brainer
....but just keep advancing up and don't get "bullet fever" or chase "fools gold"
Aw heck: Get to the podium, and I will find a way to put you in full on Abide leather ....word _________________ https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=2&v=zw0MgkO7VXw |
