    Fast Tango is 35

    Amazing you are doing this. Shame I did not check Facebook until after you were in NYC, would have been great to grab a beer as you were just a block away from us at one point.    Although the sailing was great, I will have to say being part of the DRYA phrf meeting when they tried to rate the...

    “Given” an additional 44% share in a company busted for oil smuggling (under his watch)  by a man sanctioned by the U.S. and not allowed to travel to the US. Lot of interesting things happening between 2013 and 2017.

    There was one more in the US , the 1979 Cookson Downtown built for Bill Martin of Detroit the President of USYRU. Maybe it was that one …

    IOR landfills?

    Silver Shadow lV was a Kevlar deep keel C&C 44 built for the 1985 SORC, run with/by the Doyle factory team. They lost two rigs that series. The boat ended up in Detroit where it sailed for many years as Blitz. It was the last boat I ever sailed with wire luffed 1.5 oz kites and bloopers … it...

    Well , it is certainly no missed runner...... Last saw Container in Palma many years ago.  One of my favs. FYI - it was really windy that day in Japan.

    IOR landfills?

    I to think that while we all love to see these old boats restored, we do have have to admit, they were quite terrible to sail at times....

    IOR landfills?

    Nope - not a lot of distance racing at world championships anymore. There was the 200 mile distance race at the 2006 TP52 worlds from Miami, to Bahamas to Lauderdale and back,  but really it was a 15 hour overnighter which shows how fast the new boats are vs. how long that race took in the 1987...

    By farr (pun intended) one of the best events ever.... With the exception of the distance race. http://rbsailing.blogspot.com/2014/08/one-ton-cup-1988.html

    Agree. You can note history but you can not rely on it for future success. I recently had a discussion about a high-end restaurant, family place that is 3 generations old, famous on the US West Coast. During Covid, the brothers launched 22 business models in 12 months to save their place, and...

    Sir Jim comes out supporting his doping cycling team manager.... Marginal gains?  Sure it happened in the past, before he took the "owner" role but everyone knew SKY riders were on TUEs and now worse evidence given the court case last week... Does it relate to the AC, not really, but it does go...
