It’s certainly good to be Philippe Kahn, internet billionaire and the impresario behind the Pegasus racing franchise. Kahn loves sailing, and he’s into everything from transpac sleds to Farr 40s, to Melges 24s (his son, Shark, won a world championship), to 505s and Finns. Two themes run through his choice of craft: world-class competition and, speed, speed and more speed (though he’s not into the multihulls yet). Anyhow, Kahn can go out sailing from his training bases in California and Hawaii whenever he likes (well, almost). And he can have a coach boat along, and that coach boat can film him. He recently found himself in a 505 and some monster winds and waves. So here, on film, is what it is like to be Philippe Kahn.
Looks like fun. Bastard…
“Hey, Philippe! Stop playing with your Blackberry, and drive the boat…”!
