Well done to Jim for buying it & racing it down here! It was great to see the competition, especially as it wasn’t follow-the-leader AIS racing which I find boring as hell in the VOR. Comanche passed us going home in 2018 prob 200m away. It was off Maria we had two reefs & no4 & they were full hoist blasting back the other way in 30-35, it was awesome to see it fully lit up.

Information is worth what it costs you.

At least it’s easy to get the boom up above centreline on port now!

Be good time to sell. Got himself a couple of wins.

Did pretty well?? They raced against smaller boats with average results. Got beaten by Rambler 88 in the Fastnet. Then they came last out of the 5x 100’ racing only “local boats 1000km of Sydney” last in the VOR & lucky not to have two deaths on their hands - all in the name of good PR & brand management?

Jim going to Campaign the 70 now?

52’ seems like an odd size for full foiling & LH. The current 60’s have proved the concept so unless they really think they can get LH or be well ahead of a 60 (Unlikely) they should probably just buy & race a TP52. 6 in the top 10.

Put it on the pile with Langmen’s canting deck 100’? Let’s not forget how VO70’s we’re going to be faster than 100’s.

All for a foiling 75’ purpose built for this race.

Shockwave 80’ was number 5. 90’ must be number 6 (or more)

No one wants to bring their Wally down here to get beaten by VO70 & RP60-66 brigade. Like Zefiro did in 2013.

Rambler 90 the old Alfa Romeo 90 which started life as a S-H boat.

@LionessRacing Actually all the fast boats come here to try & beat WOXI because SH has the highest caliber of competition in the world. Evidence being every 90-100’ supermaxi has come to race.

Looks like Natelle Too might have dropped someone off as well, they along with Take 5 are underway & heading south again.
