X-99, X-Zoom doing good speed and then broaching. Shot during Karvalakki regatta in Helsinki on October 13, 2007.

In fact our memorable Bird Island trip saw broach after broach as we came screaming back – I remember waking up clinging to the pushpit with water rushing over me, after one broach, looking waaaaay up at Gavin Stephens and asking him if he was okay. His quick nod was enough and I promptly went back to sleep ……………
