HAHAHA Fucking Yachters! I hope you're all fucking dead!

But that's a sailboat. It's not a yacht.

I sail (and race) a fair bit, and recently heard what professionals like tanker crews call us: WAFIs... Wind Assisted Fucking Idiots.

Very true.

According to the tags it's a 'yatch'

Reminds me of The Thomas Crown Affair.

Great film.

if you listen you can here them calling "man overboard!" (two guys went over), but then the good old kiwi attitude prevails... "nah nah... keep going!". Awesome!

btw...these guys are getting up to 45-50 knots, or close to 60mph, that's 92kmh. I don't think sailboat or yacht applies anymore.

RE: Yachts or sailboats, I'd say both terms describe these just fine. Very fast yachts/sailboats, but that's what they are.

They're fucking terrifying. I sail dinghies and yachts, and I know how much a small dinghy can hurt you (pitch pole a 49er on a breezy day and see how you fair) and they're not moving anywhere near as fast as these things.
