Gotta give credit to the crew for laying her down like that and holding it steady.

[benjitayahoo]

What's more impressive is the skipper's control

[mrksiy]

I was most impressed by his leap from the first boat to the other. smooth.

[erSeries]

Without the Hugo Boss suit he would have drown immediately! Imagine if that suit was made by Tommy Hilfiger - insta suicide!

[Kingjeffkoch]

I think the boat needs more and bigger hugo boss logos.

[chonyc]

Hugo boss is the best gear to wear when you are going to be mast climbing. Trying any other brands would be suicidal...

[SeaChaser]

I don't always walk up a sail mast, but when I do, the boat heels over from my greatness.

[TKM]

LOL the actual jump from the mast didn't end in the same way the film lets on. He certainly back slammed on the first jump!

Does anyone know who sponsors this boat?

[AakeTraak]

Why not tack and walk down the other side?

[bobfisher]

Without any shadow of doubt, the very best promotion stunt yet.

[PedalBikerUK]

Now THAT is what I call advertising! :-)

Alex. tu apportes une vision décalée de la course au large. l'humour et le marketing sont présent . tu es un vent de fraîcheur
et en plus quel marin !!!!

[alibee]

I like it . There’s something quite manly about this and it’s not telling me I have to be a better person, bravo 👏🏻

[johnheppell]

Credit to the crew for holding the boat at that angle - and fair play to Alex for running up the sail and throwing himself off the top - I'm sure it looked horrific from the top? Personally I'll forgive him for his diving style( I certainly wouldn't do it!)

[JuanVanSteyvoort]

Quelle Audace !....
Bravo, Alex, you're the best !....
:-)
From Brussels, with Love...

[rodolphebeaudon]

Sacré Alex, quelle classe ! Attention les enfants, à ne pas reproduire à la maison....contentez vous de vous

[kenpalmer]

One of the best and daring videos on this race

[ashleybrydges]

Perfect Sailing to heel her over and Alex is definitely James Bond and if not should be. What a star he is.

[bepowerification]

most impressing thing about this for me as a non-sailor is how they managed to keep the boat this way for so long. wow. edit: ok now after watching the behind the scenes I know they didnt. impressive anyway.
