French Boat Porn.



Don't worry - it's safe for work (unless like me you're frequently tempted to quit and go sailing, that is). The term "boat porn" was coined by a friend to describe the pictures of extreme sailing I love downloading, and this clip of racing on Douarnenez Bay pretty much defines the genre.

Watch out for the great kite footage; since I can't afford one of the giant French trimarans shown here (damn but that country builds sexy boats!) I started kite-boarding last May and if you think it looks wild, just wait till you try it…but if I blog anymore about the thrills of kiting there’s no way I’ll be able to spend the rest of this afternoon diligently working here in the office.

Sigh……..

PS. Wonder how much this site’s hit rate will increase because I've used the word “porn” in the title???

Here's the thing I have been told about boats...

"The two happiest days in a man's life are the day he buys a boat, and the day he sells it." ;-)

But I have to say...that one is awfully pretty.

Wow how does the kite make you go So Fast? Is it Magic? Can Dogs do it? Do you fly off into the Air? What if you Can't Get Down? Do you Die? What if you get Struck by Lightning? What if you have to Go To The Bathroom????

I want to know.
