America II 65 ft yacht: Blasting through the waves in Maui, Hawaii

Fun or Fear: experience the white water experience of sailing on America II, a former 1987 America's Cup yacht contender outfitted for theme park like experiences out of Lahaina in Maui, Hawaii. The captain claimed we sailed at hull speed at almost 11 knots and about 13 knots with the wind behind us. It's a short video: half the passengers loved getting soaked and had confidence in the boat and the other half prayed the boat wouldn't capsize and wanted to get back to the harbour ASAP and off the boat. I loved it. if you go, wear your bathing suit and bring a waterproof camera. Wish my boat went that fast....
