    Been there, done that, like yourself. Not on a giant cat or tri, but on large monohulls. Bluewater racing, try sleeping when your berth is directly under the coffeegrinder winches -- every time you doze off, someone has to trim something and you get that loud grrrrrrrinnnnddddd a few inches above your head. Ack.
    (For you non-sailors, go to the Maritime Museum at Aloha Tower and check out the half-hull of a Santa Cruz 70. You can see what the interior looks like and you can stand in the cockpit, and you'll see exactly what I'm referring to above.)
    Cook and eat? Freeze-dried food all the way.

    His next gig is that doublehanded non-stop circumnav race (the name of which escapes me).
    Yeah, me too. Too many sponsorship changes in all those RTW races, and they're always changing the names. Hard to keep track.
    Except for Mount Gay Rum, of course.

            Saw those on a trip to San Francisco. Amazing! Any idea how they handle in big waves?

              The fully-foiled Moths are still emerging from the early stages of development, but I don't think the Moth is a class historically known for caring about performance in rough seas. When the boat is not flying on its foils it is not particularly impressive, and I reckon once the seas are big enough to contact the hull of the boat while it is foiling the effect would be to upset the trim of the whole craft and probably stall the foils. But so what.

              In protected waters (e.g. over here on Kaneohe Bay) it would be crazy fun to have one!

                        Regarding that dolphin video, must have been a feeding frenzy out there. Would have loved to see what was happening below surface.
