miles from land, a powerful rogue wave shatters one of the vessel s big windows. at that stage, the wave came over and actually hit the front of the boat which, in turn, caused the window to break and the water is coming in. priscilla was sitting there looking at me. and i m looking at the waves and it was just like, hmm, this is quite scary. the couple sends an urgent call for help. it it s picked up by the west rescue team in new zealand. the hotline rang. so, i thought here we go. what we got now? we were told it was a boat in distress and if we could go out and try to find it. the mayday calls gives only a vague position. the pilot knows finding the boat will be tough. the rescue helicopter actually went over us. it didn t see us because of the squalls in the water. it s now a nerve-racking 25 minutes since the rescue call was made. and at any moment, the tormenter may sink. finally, the rescue crew spots the troubled boat.
the bay is known for some of the world s most stunning scenery, but unpredictable currents and a powerful wind tunnel through the golden gate can make for wild rides on the water. san francisco bay is probably one of the most exciting waters in the world. there s huge currents here. there s a lot of wind types. so it s very challenging to sail. the multi-hull 45-foot catamaran features the newest design in extremely lightweight, versatile racing boats. the unique thing about the 45 is it has a wing style. it s just a more efficient, aerodynamic shape. the cat s aerodynamic shape allows it to race at unprecedented speeds. the regular boat we ll see on the bay will do probably around eight miles an hour, maybe ten. we re out there doing about 30 to 40 miles an hour. it s a thrilling ride, but at speeds this fast, things can change drastically in an instant. the boats are the fastest boats in the world. you really have to push them on
