In my spare time I message people of means to fund a 100ft carbon maxi sailing campaign to break ocean records at the major offshore events around the globe.(www.msailing.org)

I call it my moonshot, something I spend a few hours on a month, and you'd be amazed how many people actually politely decline.

I wish more people knew the joy and the rawness of the ocean.

I'll bite. How does Gitana 18 and the general continued technological progress in the Ultim class fall short? If you had something to contribute, couldn't you just get involved in one of these projects?

There are worse ways to spend a few hours a month than trying to talk rich people into funding an absurdly fast sailboat
