Frogman56 89 #704 Posted December 11, 2020 The TP group have a few percent over the best boats, smaller and larger, in the other divisions under irc right now, and are fast downhill, so difficult for a smaller, higher disp boat to win unless some light air and S wind... Maybe an optimised Bene 40 could still do it, but maybe you really need a lower rated JPK or similar, that hangs in across the range, rating around 1.04? This would be faster downhill than Wild Rose, for example, which won in entirely downhill, iirc? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Left Shift 2,765 #706 Posted December 11, 2020 3 hours ago, SCANAS said: That’s what I meant by my crowded TP52 comment. You have to get TP52 weather then you have to beat all the other TP52’s. Perhaps it’s better to not be in that group as it’s too hotly contested. Chutzpah has kinda of proven you can’t go smaller so bigger than 52 seems logical to me. So the question is why do ppl keep buying 52’s running costs that much cheaper than 66’? Because they are fun as all heck to sail. And yes, they are cheaper than a 66' to run, every day you pay the yard or the marina, or get gear for the crew and every time you buy something at the jewelry store. All these comments seem to come from trophy hunters not competitors. The point is to have somebody to sail against all day and all night. If you just want a trophy, go after the commodore's daughter. Or granddaughter (within proscribed limits.) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure what comments you're referring to, but nowhere has anyone suggested it's about trophy hunting....The event is a race...and every competitor is out there to do their best.... within their limitations of budget, time and ability....we race for the fun, adventure, storytelling and cameraderie....and if, in doing our personal best, we happen to pick up an accolade, well.... Bonus! There are a few professionals and a few big egos....(none of them here incidentally)....but the vast majority are in it for shits 'n giggles.

TUBBY 304 #711 Posted December 11, 2020 A big part of winning a Hobart is avoiding the Derwent "shut down", a part of the reason that the TP's seem to always be in there is that in most years they arrive at Tasman at a time of day which sees them get across the bay & up the river in daylight before it all goes quiet. They are also quick enough to just about stay in the same weather as the maxis, meaning if they can beat them on IRC, (not a major issue), all they need is a quiet patch behind them as the next system comes through and they have the middle of the fleet covered. The only thing to worry them then is a stinking nor easter blowing one of the few remaining good little boats home. I once sat on top of the leader board for over 24 hours before exactly this happened, ended up 3rd! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JonRowe 733 #712 Posted December 11, 2020 The closeness of the racing amongst the TP52s is also a big draw, and when you've got enough of them around you can go have extremely cool racing on the weekend Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Dark Knight 698 #713 Posted December 12, 2020 WTF his yacht was recently bought by the AUS 80 Pty Ltd syndicate, headed by 27 Sydney Hobarts veteran Grant ‘Wharo’ Wharington, Gun sports boat sailor Paul Heyes, marine auctioneer Adrian Seiffert and Doug Sallis are also involved. The boat is called ‘Stefan Hair’; an odd name, many will think, but it is sponsored by Stefan Ackerie, a boating enthusiast who owns a chain of hairdressing salons and was probably best known during the seventies. This Botin 80 is the former Beau Geste, which was fifth boat to cross the finish line in the 2017 Hobart and the last of five to finish inside the 2016 race record. It was also fifth over the line in 2016 and 2013. A consistent performer, the boat was sailed from America where it had been sailing as Cabron. An all-carbon canting yacht, it has similar foils to a V70, with daggarboards. The 80 footer, which only arrived in the country in early December had been optimised to suit IRC handicap, but Wharo says it slowed the boat down, so if time allows, they will go back to larger sails and water ballast. “We want to go as fast as we can. Its real strength is big breeze upwind and reaching. It’s a very powerful boat.” Wharo’s eldest son, 24 year-old Ollie, was on the delivery crew from the US and is doing his first Hobart, as is Sallis’ 24 year-old son Jarrod. All worked hard to get the boat to the line on Boxing Day. https://www.rolexsydneyhobart.com/the-yachts/2020/stefan-hair/ I'm surprised Richo is not involved with this...

Then ex-About Time came onto the market so he pivoted to the Cookson 12, understandably, but his 1104 will be around someplace and would be a pretty good option as it was well on the way to Blue Water spec when he bought the C12.

No beers with your mates, no bruises from inert objects and excessive alcohol, no stories that grow taller as the crowd gets thicker. Pick a mark in Storm Bay and turn around, finish is at Sydney. Would be interesting to see how the big boys fair against the fleet with double the provisioning and double the duration, let alone the added complexity of routing and wind patterns. As a minimum it would turn it from a sprint to an endurance race, so more opportunity as you’d carry a few extra bods ...change up the paradigm completely.

His rates aren't the problem just the delivery time. I got my new main last week. I remember thinking at the time when I ordered it that Blue spectra would look great on the boat. I just wish I didn't sell it back in 2001. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Essex 67 #777 Posted December 18, 2020 So Black Jack ships to Monaco, change their minds and ship her back to Aus for one more S/H which may well not happen. Quite an impressive 2020 that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The rest of the customers got a note explaining that COVID was delaying cotton and canvas shipments, hence their sails were delayed "just a little longer". 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bill E Goat 284 #783 Posted December 18, 2020 Sydney to Hobart on a knife-edge amid COVID-19 outbreak “Regardless of circumstances, if there is a person who has been in the high-risk area, if they want to come to Tasmania on a yacht or on a plane, they have to meet the same requirement,” he said. https://www.smh.com.au/sport/sailing/sydney-to-hobart-on-a-knife-edge-amid-covid-19-outbreak-20201218-p56orx.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Added High Risk as of 11.00pm last night and applying after 11 December. Peakhurst, Kirribilli and Penrith locations also listed with different times. Entry Exemption required for High Risk areas and for special circumstances only then self quarantine for 14 days. Avalon areas listed with more specific times and mandatory 14 days state quarantine https://www.coronavirus.tas.gov.au/travellers-and-visitors/coming-to-tasmania/travel-alert Qld as comparison mandatory state quarantine 14 days coming from northern beaches LGA arriving after 1.00am or in 5 hours. Suspect Tasmania will also follow QLD with mandatory state not self quarantine which then make entry exemptions more difficult. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Accidental Anna will pull the drawbridge up by Sunday nite as sure as Rose Kennedy owned a black dress. Fuck Sunday ...try in 5 hours. The Polish woman has already pulled the trigger. They have exactly until 1.00am EST Saturday to get across the border. Or then it's 14 days in Anna's love hotel at $3k or $2k a pop each shared. Driving and feeling like a smuggler then turn right at Tenterfield before the border check point and take back roads over Mt Barney. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jack_sparrow 7,610 #786 Posted December 18, 2020 10 hours ago, Your Mom said: Does crossing the finish line and then leaving without touching shore constitute "visiting Tasmania"? I mean... If I'd prepped to do this event, and felt safe aboard with my crew, but Taz said I "can't visit", my first question would be "can I still do the race if I don't come ashore?"... Quite OK. CYC charter a small cruise liner and tow race boats home behind as those race crew pooftas don't do deliveries. Ferry crew from finish line to it then go home when last boat crosses the line. With time back to Sydney that is well over a week drinking solid for big boat crews ....maybe throw in some entertainment paid in 15 minute increments Take plenty of body bags as many won't arrive back alive and or can never claim not to have had a homosexual experience. Mumbles could write a book about it and make a fortune as participants would buy up every copy and burn them. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LB 15 4,882 #787 Posted December 18, 2020 Yesterday Gladys told Sydneysiders, particularly north of the city, they “should not be leaving home” unless it is essential. And when they do leave home, they should be wearing masks. “Stay away from non-essential activities,” she said. “People should only be undertaking absolutely necessary activity. If we don’t get on top of it in the next few days, it could mean more restrictions.” The CYCA should can the race today. What we don’t want is the sport to be seen as being made up of entitled fuckwits that only care about themselves - even if it is true. If you are from Sydney (or have been there the last few days) and you are considering still sailing in the race and potentially taking the virus to Tas, you are a selfish cunt. Please post lots of pics on Facebook so we know who you are. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also just to remind everyone, you took a vacation to Italy back in late Feb/March, got sick, and brought it back to Australia. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Dark Knight 698 #789 Posted December 18, 2020 From the CYCA As we have seen in the last few days, this is an ever-changing situation. The Cub will provide an update at approximately 0900hrs tomorrow morning, Saturday 19 December. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You must be ecstatic about this latest outbreak. As you said in March the longer the pandemic goes on the more money you will make. Anyway what boat are you on petal?
