Through the marvels of modern technology, we have a video update from Team Wild Card as they paced the trimaran Ptarmigan through Johnstone Strait. Putting a trapeze on an SC27 apparently does something for boatspeed, along with an oversize asymmetrical chute. These guys are having way too much fun. As I write this they’re in third place overall, behind PT Watercraft and First Federal Sail Like A Girl.
