So under the old Whitbread rules, we would be all done and dusted now, Telefonica would have just had to make it safely to the finish without catasrhe to have won. The rules changes have made it mean that the boats are not up to the job.....and quite frankly the VOR PR looks pretty limp, worlds hardest race but with rather pathetic boats.....

Well yes would agree to some extend, it has lost the 'extreme' component.

Yes these boats haul arse, yes they are on the design edge, yes the boys push them hard - BUT what's the point of building a boat that can't finish a race?

'To finish first first you must finish' - except in the Volvo it seems.

Better minimum build standards?

HEY EVERYBODY!!! LETS ALL MAKE OUR OWN THREADS ABOUT THE WAY THE VOR IS GOING IN ORDER TO RESTATE THE SAME FUCKING POINT THAT WE'RE ALL MAKING!!!!!!

But actually don't. You people are rediculous. 6 threads in one afternoon about the same goddamn mast falling down? We get it, it's silly that the Volvo boats are breaking. Quit spamming the goddamn forums, switch to decaf, take a valium and cool your fucking jets. All of you are worse attention whores than the next. It's amazing that each of you narcissistic nimrods was able to blatantly ignore the plethora of other VERY obvious discussions about the same g-damn topic while repeating the same tired line (about cutting edge yacht design and round the world racing - something for which you could not possibly have any true comprehension) that's been repeated over and over since the race started. The whole situation here on SA has forced me to lose all faith in the human race. May god have mercy on your souls.

Fucking stop it or I'll be forced to put you into a prison cell with Tiny who's 6 foot 9, weighs 415 pounds and is looking for a new wife after his previous one was granted parole.

Dude i am fucking serious. I wish you were dead. People like you make the world suck so much more than it has to. Is there any way you could kill yourself without having to waste society's resources on ambulances and police and such? Maybe just sail your boat out into the ocean, tie yourself to a bunk, open the seacocks and go down with the ship. That's just the first thing that occurs to me; I am sure there are better ways of doing it.
