This was a picture of my last speed competion in Gruissan France in 2001. Speed is really fun, it would be nice to run on the c**** in optimal conditions one time.

This was really tricky. As you can see, there whas a sandbank. Once you crossed it it was almost a c****, but you had to pass an area of only 3 m wide at full speed with only 40 cm of water.
After that, really nice. Only the angle was nok at that time making that it impossible to go really fast (faster then 33 knots)

I know this isn't an aerotech, but a really old Gun Sails (no small sails available), neverhteless, this picture shows even better the little and narrow c****. I had been going by foot before and checked out every square cm of this passage. Other guys that saw me doing this went for it also without prestudy,...., they all crashed in the sand,..
