Keel Walking - Bring It On :)
]One false move, and this sailor could be keeled | News.com.au
Typical journos making it sound dangerous. It looks like a hell of a lot of fun.. Notice the Port Rudder had been removed for the stunt

Re: Keel Walking- bring it on :)
Cool stunt, but not likely very dangerous. Looks like the yacht crew is doing most of the skilled work.

Agreed. With the addition of a ton or two water ballast, most of them would have been on the leeward rail getting a bit damp I would suspect.
It appears you can buy one of her sister ships for Half a Mill or so.

Though obviously too old to be a proper "sistership", it's still an Open 60.

Re: Keel Walking- bring it on :)
What do you want to bet they had the moveable ballast/water ballast on the wrong side?

Re: Keel Walking- bring it on :)
I was thinking he should have tried to get into the boat, not dive into the water.

Re: Keel Walking- bring it on :)
Nice! Have to give that a whirl when I change the thru hulls, save hauling
