Bungee length is relative to drum diameter, number of wraps needed to furl the sail, and deflection of furling line off of the normal run, not the length of the furling line itself. I would say one each for P/S prodder furlers, and one for jibs, depending on leads of furling lines into pit, and whether they're spliced in place or laid on the side deck.

TUBBY 447 Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 The big girl was never built to win inshore races or even long races on rating. Her only purpose in life was to set records, (in record setting conditions). Not really even guaranteed to get line honours in a slow race, but get her out there in a race with those record setting conditions and it will take a very special boat, (in special conditions), to break her record!

Skorpios would probably suffer a similar fate to Comanche in the W/L conditions but .. the Big C did barely beat Rambler in the 3rd race... but nowhere near on corrected time, i think it was under 1 minute elapsed. Waterline alone Skorpios would have had the line every race. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pulpit 296 Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 When you look at it, Rambler is a very well sailed boat that is sorted out and sailed by her regular crew who know the boat very well. Comanche is a well sorted boat, But with mostly a totally new crew and owner who haven't had the time on the water to learn the boat and sail her to her potential. I would off loved to have had the old crew of Comanche on board and seen how much faster Comanche could have been sailed in this regatta. Pulpit Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's spending some time at the private island before doing the Middle Sea Race https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skorpios Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JL92S 426 Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 Skorpious would have been in the Supermaxi class and separate from Comanche, Rambler and Leopard etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
terrafirma 1,339 Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 We'll see all 3 boats in the Rolex Middle Sea Race starting October 20th. Skorpios, Comanche and Rambler 88. That should give the boats a chance at a long distance race. Usually has a bit of everything and can be light at the start and getting out of the harbor. Huge spectacle with over 100 boats which is down on previous events to be expected Quote Link to post Share on other sites

nogetwe 42 Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 I believe it has been listed for years. No indication of anything. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
