OK, so our British J/80 friends sailing on Plymouth Sound have a great sense of humor. Or, perhaps whoever dreamed up this idea surely has a "mad streak"? How about wake-boarding, powered by the big a-sail and using a 6 hp engine and towed by the main halyard to blow off some steam before a regatta?! A new side-bar event for J/80 regattas? If you don't believe it, watch this YouTube video with a rapping Moby song mixed into it.
