Zac needs your support...in more ways than one.

"My name is Zac Pullen. I am 17 and a Tasmanian Sailor seeking sponsorship to travel to world and national championships. I currently have a scholarship in the Tasmanian Institute Of Sport and Tasmanian Sailing Academy.

Goals 2010-2011: Win Australian Laser Radial and Australian Youth Championships. Win the Australian spot for the Youth World Championships in Croatia and Laser Radial Youth World Championships in France in 2011.

I am very dedicated but as travel cost are so expensive I find it hard to get to all of the events I would like to travel too. This is why I am seeking sponsorship so I can pursue to achieve my goals with sailing."

Fuego!

Break out the dogs and marshmallows.

The Belgium-flagged Privilege 495 catamaran Ker-Tidou exploded shortly after sunrise last weekend on the coast of Baja California Sur, in a fishing village called Bahia de Tortugas. The cat burned to the waterline and sank within 40 minutes.

Thierry Bonnefille escaped the inferno by scrambling aboard his dinghy. According to Enrique Castro of El Gordo's fuel dock the boat had been experiencing electrical issues, which may have interacted with cooking gas to cause the explosion.

I guess the boat is not for sale anymore.
