Scarlet Runner - now that’s quick!
It took us 35 hours to sail to King Island on ‘Fully-n-Pushing’, mainly because there was very little wind. It meant that if I didn’t get back to Melbourne very quickly I was going to miss my flight to some important work in Sydney with MLA (Meat and Livestock Australia), working with their marketing team on a major presentation to steak…err stakeholders.
So someone knew someone and I was offered a trip back on the fastest yacht in the fleet. The amazing ‘Scarlet Runner’, as the guest of victorious owner Rob Date.
We made the trip in 8 hours, reached a top speed of 21 knots, and I made it to Sydney with time to spare. MLA marketing communicated their messages brilliantly and achieved their goals: it was a golden week.
I shot this piece of adrenalin on a tiny ‘GoPro Hero’ HD camera in a waterproof casing. Luke McDade cut it to Blur and it’s Redgum Communications‘ thankyou to Rob Date and his crew for the lift.
