A Tour Around the Harbor on a Gentle Breeze...NOT

I'm not a sailor, but this caught my eye. Scenes form the iShares Cup at Skandia Cowes Week in the UK. these folks are hardcore; over 40% of the teams were out by race 4 due to capsizes and collisions.

I first spotted this in a digest from Yachtpals then stopped by the site. they have video and more images as well as detailed race coverage. http://www.yachtpals.com/cowes-ishares-3007 It is worth a look.
