I was forlorn when I discovered only 4 boats were entered in the Multihull cup pickle dish classic. Granted, the are big and they clash with my ideal sailing syndicate budget constraints; but they are very fast and dangerous. Perhaps the big dollar advertising is wearing thin between the Volvo ocean race, the America's cup and the ORMAs.
For me it's all about achiving mind-blowing speeds while cheating the icy cold grip of death. Watching the 60 foot multis skip along the wave-tops at over 35 knots is impressive to the non-sailor, and for a fan it is ecstasy.
