When I sailed back from England in a 36' sailboat, we met a crowd of people who were in a single handed race from England to the Carribean. You had to be single handed and your boat had to be 21 feet or under. The record for the crossing is 6 feet, and yes it has been done on a sailboard.
"...and yes it has been done on a sailboard."
Geez!.
So, someone puts a gun to your head and says 'Climb Everest or try this crossing on a sail board'. Which do you do...which do you do...?
