I'm not sure what the point of his "pink boat" suggestion was -- maybe an editor made into jibberish, or maybed it's just a lame attempt at some allusion to piracy, or whatever.

Having said that, I think the boat looks a stupid as the whole stunt. Also, comparing Ellen MacArthur to little Jessica is a bit of a stretch. MacArthur was a lot more of a sailor that Jessica when she started out around the world. After Jessica ran into the freighter at night and one of her "camp" suggested that she was the consumate "professional", I have just tuned her out.
