Yeah that is awesome. I'm amazed by the speeds those boats get. Interesting to follow the discussion from the armchair pros on Alex Thomson facebook page walking around on decks awash without being tethered...

WOW! That surely goes in the "don't try this at home" category. :yikes:

Falling off the boat at 27 knots is not an option. You'd break something just hitting the water.

I have hit the water many times at much higher speeds, water skiing. But, I was much younger then, like a rubber band, not sure what the results would be now!
