GUNBOAT G4 WIPE-OUT

When I posted the first video I sent it to some friends, including my daughter, a sailor too, with the comment that I would like one of those. My daughter commented that it would not take much time before I turned that cat upside down. I guess she would be right :-) but what a boat!!!!

  1. Espectacular images no doubt, must be quite crazy steering such a boat.
    For those who are still dreaming on to get into the sea "solo" & with a humble budget may be it would be worth to take a look on the Sarch 675. It may look a bit ugly from outside but inside looks like a little palace!

    1. Yes, I endorse your recommendation specially if one has not a wife to piss you wanting a nice traditional interior. Very nice sailing boat, certainly fast and fun at a very interesting price: 40 000 euros for a carbon boat, even if just a bigger mini racer with a very interesting cruising interior, is a very good price.

    1. Thanks! I will be back in October. First the recuperation from the surgery to the ankle (two hours a day of physical work) and now my cruising time have stopped the blog...but not for long ;-)

  3. Hi Paulo - I imagine you're out cruising your boat and enjoying the pleasures of time on the water. When you get back please e-mail me at grittger (@) yahoo.com. I'd like to send you some photos I took of the Mark Mills' designed C&C 30's in Newport, RI a couple weeks ago, along with some comments/observations. I was up there racing in the Etchells and we were docked next to the C&C 30 fleet (10 boats). The J/111's were there, as well, tuning up for the Worlds, which was held a few days later. More J/111's than I'd ever seen in one place. Got some photos of them, as well. Also got to see the Marstrom 32's in action, but didn't get any photos. We were on the same race course as they were, on the Saturday. Best regards, Guy (Mr. Pelicano)

    1. Yes I am cruising with low quality internet that I save for the weather reports ;-). I will get to you in October for that post of yours about the C&C 30. Great boat and I am very curious about your comments :-)
