Serial keel waggler

Modesty is not something you could accuse Yann Elies Transat and Vendee Globe steed Generali of. Look at her here, waving her bright red appendages in the air for all the world to see during pre-Transat trials. A great stunt to show off inshore but would the pair risk doing the same in 40 foot seas 1,000 miles from land deep in the Southern Ocean?
