Craig Hollins is the man with vision - night vision!

Have you ever noticed how the best speedsailing conditions often come at night? Craig has and he devised a plan. He has sourced these great LED lights that have an amazing amount of light output and mounted them to his helmet.

Monday night was their speedsailing debut and he and Mat found they worked very well. So well it looked like they were going to keep going all night long, but the batteries last only 3 hours.

It was blowing a solid 25 knots SW and low tide. Pefect fun conditions for daytime sailing and it seems that it was great at night as well. Here are some shots I managed to capture despite the lack of a powerful enough flash:

BTW, the white specs on the pictures are sand grains reflecting the flash.
