Use black antifouling, you cant see the weed growth then.....

The boat can't help it, its built into its DNA (consider its previous life!!)

Bringing breeze up from behind......according to Windy.com

Hey, i remember the PNG Admirals Cup team at Berthons in 1983. I was an apprentice there, apart from Di Hard, the other memorable thing was their boat car that had loads of flattened beer tins rivetted to the body work.

It was the 98ft Sailing Yacht Asia.  https://maritimebulletin.net/2019/11/23/luxury-sailing-yacht-sank-in-indonesian-waters-crew-rescued/

That will be a Sunsail Match First 40 from Port Solent.

Rescue has just made lead item on BBC news in UK.

Not sure about the yellow boat, but the green boat in the background is Xplore, an old BT Global Challenge 67' up for sale at Berthon's!

Thanks mate. Saved the day. BT switched the AC to BT Sport 2 which you have to pay extra for. Awesome race.

Thanks for clearing that up. Though never saw any footage of them dropping the rig on the reef.

I thought that the Vestas was a new build. From the reports I saw, In the end they threw away the wreck as beyond repair and built a new boat? So not a Frankenboat.

Had a quiet afternoon in the office, so just watched re-runs of AC finals in San Francisco 2013 on You Tube. Still fantastic racing and video footage. Can't believe that next AC will be as exciting as the AC72's. Plus the difficulty in trying to watch it. I have not actually managed to find any...

Well done Abu Dhabi. You've won a waste paper bin from Ikea.

Just watched the Extreme 40's racing in Nice. Amazing how slow they looked compared to what we have just seen in San Francisco.
