Flippin Out

I certainly hope ETNZ got all their sponsorship money upfront and have it all tucked away securely in their bank account. With all this turmoil in the aviation industry, sponsorship's might get a haircut in cost cutting exercises, subject to the contractual arrangements that are in place. Here is AUS, Qantas has just cut back 90% of it's international flights until at least May.

Reports from TE on FB saying that Luna Rossa has suffered major damage during training today, big gaping hole in the bow !!! Saying the bob stay broke, the bowsprit flew away taking the nose with it.

If we're forced into lock down, I'm pretty sure my primary worry is going to be food. If I got no food, I won't be shitting anyway so the having no poo tickets isn't going to be the issue.

We haven't seen full orange on the main before have we ? From RG's article. Says photo from yesterday. https://www.sail-world.com/news/226837/Gladwells-Line-What-do-we-really-know

Where's the missus....I don't see her ???

Will Oats make it to the start line on Tuesday for the Big Boat Challenge ? Will be a massive effort if they do.

Anyone got any more info on this ??? https://www.sail-world.com/news/224593/Salvage-Rights

Assuming it comes with Hookers and Blow included ??

Probably wouldn't be quite as brilliant out there at the moment I'm thinking..........

Ambition still in it's pen at Sandy Yacht Club as of last night.

Not sure if this is old news but I see from the Hobart entry list that Ambition is now the new Celestial. Any word yet on why this was so short lived for CD ??

Some new footage from France, training in the lead up to this weekends finale.

Let hope the boats can all stay in one piece and make it a true even contest, no excuses.

Not when they came off the foils in the tack, very sticky. Early days yet, I'm sure they'll sort that quick smart.

Anyone heard anymore updates ? Been 3 months since that photo of the back falling off was posted.
