#Sailing at 101.3 km/h in boat race, so fast the water begins to boil around the foils.

This is A) ludicrous, stupid! and B) so cool!

Not that I ever want to do this. But the technology is clearly developing apace.

<sigh> All I want is a #sailboat just big enough to get there, just small enough to handle single-handed…

Okay, I lied. I want some very very specific things. But it fits the other requirements, too.

A #sailor is neither a square peg or a round hole.
