Ice maiden

Top this for a graphic.

This is the Blink F38.7 design depicted whizzing around improbably in front of the Antarctic ice shelf, with an equally non-indigenous sea eagle overhead.

The oddly named Blink daysailer is a cool piece of kit with a lifting keel and rudder so she can fit into a 40ft container - like a racing equivalent of the 'boat in a box' Far Harbor 39

Looking at this I wonder why they don't they go one better and make a Blink Antarctic race series available for the Wii.
