Les Voiles de St Barths - Onboard Juan K. 100 "RAMBLER" from Amory Ross on Vimeo.

Last September, I saw Rambler 100 (Speedboat as she was then) tied up to the dock in Newport. It was fascinating inspecting a complex racing machine like this up close. "What does that do?" I wondered as I inspected the various deck fittings. "Look at the size of that?" "How do you sail this puppy?"

This video answered a lot of questions. It's 11 minutes of HD video shot by Amory Ross onboard Rambler100 in the recent St Barth's Regatta. It's raw footage of a crew overseen by Ken Read in action. It's impressive watching a well-trained crew that knows their business in action. And boy, can that boat move.

Happy Monday, y'all!
