    Untold: "The Race of the Century" documentary on Netflix

    Reporting on how far ahead the leader is at the top mark, but showing a gybe at the wing mark. Story telling was alright, but the video editing should have consulted a pro.

    Okay, this years S2H thread has run its course, when discussion turns to caulking wooden planks, it's time. See you clowns next year, be well!

    2021 Sydney to Hobart

    Look, we had to endure rants about the great lakes and their treachery, the sinking of some barge called Fitzgerald that nobody cares about, Seppos spewing nonsensical nonsense (or just speaking merican), just to mention some, all because you wrote THIS about yourself. Interests Laser...

    2021 Sydney to Hobart

    Here we go ladies and gents, we have another dinghy sailor on deck to help us all figure out how lakes are considered offshore and some old ship that was probably manned by said sailors ended up as an artificial wreck. It sank because it took on water,... who here has never forgotten to put the...

    Agree, short'n choppy is a bain, but offshore as claimed it is not. What's the swell like where you are, same direction as the wind? Hope there isn't a residual chop from previous wind direction thrown in, continental shelf, opposing current etc. etc.

    I stand corrected! OFFSHORE racing, not ocean racing it is. If I don't rest my arms on the side of a bathtub, does that mean I'm offshore as well?

    Yep, looks just like this https://images.app.goo.gl/xtij8HpoNDCuMZxA7 As for @1sailor Hahahaha, time to bring the Laser fleet in,... The Optis can finish their race however! Ocean racing on Great Lakes... Lets examine these words a bit more carefully, shall we?

    2021 Sydney to Hobart

    Predictable outcome, placed in the 'too hard' basket. Well done to Sam and crew however. MA should be the sportsman he claims to be and not accept first position either. He's the instigator and should forfeit the Tattersal cup as the incident had no real bearing on his performance. In his own...

    Maybe the mic fell off it's caddy in the lumpy seas and wedged with mic open? Would be a reasonable excuse to think of first up. That said, no reason has been forthcoming as to what happened, from Cel's camp, that I have heard of.

    I'm putting my money on RC protest stands, IB's protest invalid. Looking to be fair without changing the result again. I feel it could now all be about optics and keeping face?! I could be wrong though.

    Been trying to raise awareness on Rolex's FB posts. Nothing I could find there neither,... not that I spend much time on that media. Nothing on the official website in their news section. Another white wash?

    2021 Sydney to Hobart

    I just watched the presentation that looked more like a funeral and MA's reasoning was eye opening. He claimed a loss of time of 14min 15sec. How the hell would you calculate that? Watch the funeral here:  https://www.facebook.com/sailorgirlHQ/videos/651384809236692 I think that standings...

    Think I would have preferred to see IB withdraw its protest and let RC deal with the issue. These are some points that seem to contradict one another... Facts Found: 25.  The distance between Ichi Ban and Celestial did not significantly change throughout the incident duration. 27.  At all...
