Raising a 1,800 square foot mainsail is an exhausting task, even if you have five other guys helping out. Doing so on a sultry Miami afternoon after a hearty breakfast didn’t help matters. This past weekend, a few journalists, retailers and one lucky contest winner got to see what it’s like to sail on an ocean racing yacht, including what it takes to hoist and trim sails and man the tiller, all the while avoiding losing a finger in a winch or tripping over a rope and falling overboard.
(PART 2 of 2 Videos) Steven Hinton is the 22 year old pilot who broke his fathers long standing record of being the youngest to win the Unlimited Class Gold at the 2009 Reno National Air Race Championship. Steven masterfully took the P-51D Italian witch “Strega” around the pylons 8 times for a total of 67 miles with a time 08:10.357 and speed 491.822 mph to win the Unlimited Breitling Gold trophy. I was asked if I could provide some Strega footage after a Strega team member viewed my Plyon #3 video. This is my tribute to Team Strega on their tremendous performance and for creating such a wonderful memory for those of us who witnessed it. Fly Low, Fly Fast, Turn Left. Part 1: www.youtube.com

A new range of watches are now on the wrists of some of the most intrepid explorers in the world. Rotary Aquaspeed watches are designed to be able to perform in difficult conditions, they are all marked with the Rotary waterproof standard, allowing you to swim and dive all day.
The watches merge contemporary design with the high build quality and practicality necessary for adventures. Most of the watches have classic divers features such as rotating bezels, luminescent hour markers and hands and rubber straps or stainless steel bracelets.
The range has gained a lot of exposure via their connection to the Clipper Round the World Yacht Race, a 40,000 mile race that circumnavigates the globe. The current race started in August 2011 and will finish in July 2012. A boat can sign up for one of the eight legs or the whole circumnavigation. 13 countries, 16 ports, 15 races during 8 legs, 230 different professions and 40 nationalities all combine to create the most epic sea race held.
Rotary Aquaspeed watches are designed with the ethos of ‘expanding your horizons’ and trying something new. The novice sailors in the Clipper Round the World race are definitely achieving that by testing themselves to the limit. Rotary have chosen two ambassadors, each who are wearing an Aquaspeed watch on their journeys around the world, whilst reporting back to Rotary on the events in the race.
Rotary have set themselves apart from other watch manufacturers by their focus on creating dress watches for both men and women that are suitable for use in water sports. Aquaspeed watches are the pinacle of their dedication to watersports but all of the new collections come under the ’swim and dive all day’ motto, providing people with watches that look sophisticated and are able to be worn in the water without any concern.

This Falcon was awarded the Ford Motor Company Thomas W. Senter Memorial Award for representing the most significant Ford at this event. Video Rating: 4 / 5
