The skipper of Hugo Boss is Alex Thomson and the guy is know to do strange things with his boat (when he is not racing) like surfing on the keel or foil, towed by the sailboat. Yeh, the guy is a bit mad ,but he is a very good sailor.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.

This one does not exist anymore. It is an older 60 open. Anyway you can see that the Older Hugo Boss is full of tourists (some kind of promotional thing) and is not even flying a spinnaker.
I don't know if the boat taht Ragnar saw is the new one (2010) or the previous one (2007). It is not the one in the video cause that one was lost at sea.
As you know I have nothing against multihulls, but on the last Transat where multihulls (50ft racing class) raced with the Open 60's (raced with bad weather) all multihulls finished behind the first Open 60, some several days behind, beaten by lots of Open60's ... And a 31ft cruiser-racer Farrier is a slow tri compared with the 50ft racing tri.

We need more "strange things" like that in this world. Like it or not, whether they can be quantified and/or factored into The Plan or not, such people move the world -- when the world is moving in the right direction.
