Natalie the photog has a way nicer ass than that boat

it's not because they weren't great boats. Just the usual management/control/sales/undercapitalization issue that seemingly happens every year in this sport.

Bora's last race before full time olympic training

Of course it is, just as it is for the J/Class. Thing is that there is only one course for which Comanche is better suited than a MOD, and that's round the world via the capes. If Comanche goes and sets that record, it will be a hell of an accomplishment...everything else is just a fast...

They are all used. no new boats have been constructed since the first batch.

Not really. Both of these boats are sprinters, but one of them runs on engine power and can only run when he has 25 friends on his back.

1) Phaedo cost less than half that. For a record-breaker, yeah - that's the bargain bin. 2) I find it hard to be impressed with a boat that isn't even close to the fastest one there when it costs an order of magnitude more and weighs as much as a hose. Comanche is quicker than a J Class...

Maybe, but every time i say it someone rises to the fly.

always newsworthy when a brand new 30-million dollar monster gets eaten alive by a boat from the bargain bin

No plans that I know of Bradd. Satellites too expensive for the C600 budget and the local networks really aren't robust enough yet. Hope to see the changes soon, but don't hold your breath.

Two new US maxis in past 10 years. Owner 1 (Clark): 71 years old. Owner 2 (David): 73 years old. Four new convertees to multihulls from monohulls in US in past 3 years, with three of them setting records in things WAY faster than 100' maxis and one buying a fleet of M32 cats presumably to get...

It's primarily a generational thing, with just a couple of offshore race organizer holdouts artificially helping to keep multis out. Outside the Bermuda and Hobart races, supermaxis are now just fighting for class victories like every other class in any race the multis enter, the biggies of...

more great work from RORC continuing to run one of the best races anywhere.
