Fastnet 2021 finish in Cherbourg? Zoot alors! What must the RORC be thinking

FIFY. -
Delaminated? Isn't that a bit of an understatement?

Stupid thread with stupid poll. Seriously interested or not, I usually say: "mind your own fucking business"

For someone who doesn't know what a panel is, you could be a bit more humble perhaps. BTW, a panel is a panel, not a "panel". In yacht design anyway.

Jeez, you guys really don't keep up with the times. These days it's all done with pre-preg, minimum fuss!

Despite his old age, PJ is still a better commentator than most old AND young farts here on SA.

Thanks, she cheers me up, before coffee!

Shillray may be after a new job as minder for Wussell, who may soon need one. Just like Bad Butt needed one at the Louis Vuitton Pacific Series. Anyway, just as well that Dalts was so clever to fully engage Stan Honey, who will have Wussell for breakfast in this dispute.

No code green today (thursday), so time for a bit more Jaques Brel thread drift. This Cathedral song and supurb video is in fact all about his boat and the voyage. And here the lyrics in English, not really as poetic as in French, but it explains it's connection with the sea.

The best french chansonnier imho, who was indeed Belgian. And he actually not only sang about sailors (Port d'Amsterdam), he was a proper cruising sailor himself. He made it to the Marquesas in French Polynesia, where he later died of lung cancer and was buried in the local cemetery, next to Paul Gauguin. Here, in his last song, he sings about death, Gauguin and the lovely islands, in his usual poetic way. And what a nice video too!

No worries Varan, just ignore the rednecks and have a stiff one on Democrats retaking control of the Senate.

I completely agree with Bruno. In fact, I was about to post something in the same vein, but could not have said it any better. Consider Troublé the grand old and wise man of the AC, despite his name!

Not so huge geography for a weather router! Mar del Plata is in Argentina, IIRC.

I believe the direction of the unidirectional layup is not specified, and thus the characteristics can be changed, as you say. Somewhat risky business though, as the ultimate breaking strength will be reduced, and they only have 3 chances to get it right.
