You must have something blocked. Works fine here from IE, FireFox and Linux. You're not seeing the video (it's embedded).

The McGregor Sail/Motorboaters thought they had the market cornered.

I did not see it the first time... Its working or more precisely, my firefox is working...

When I taught sailing in HI last summer, there were two similar sail boats about 17-19' that were running around 35-45 kts while we were chugging long at 5-8 kts... Pretty cool how they get up on those hydrofoils... I think the sails were Mylar as well. And they were one or two person boats...
