    Vendee Globe 2016?

    You may not have said failed attempt but you did criticize his sailing in recent weeks, which is when he set the record from Cape Horn to the equator....

    Vendee Globe 2016?

    ​Do union jacks have an upside down? Also how do you know he was going slower than his opponent? I thought around the time of the helo video he was making up time??

    2015 Sydney to Hobart

    They have a bit under 12 hours to cover about 61NM (shortest course)... from my view of the models they should get there, is anyone seeing anything different?

    2015 Sydney to Hobart

    Balance's corrected time of 4:07:27 is looking solid... but Teasing have 3.5hrs on them based on current pace. They still need to get around the corner and across Storm Bay though!

    Rib Accident at VOR Lorient Start

    I find the automotive analogies used in this thread so far a bit odd. From what I see in the video they were driving parallel paths and the RIB changed direction drove in front of SD2. If that is the case, wouldn't the correct analogy be driving a small car on the freeway and changing lanes into...

    Four carbon fiber cutters

    Awesome. Thanks for the new shots Bob, she's lookng great. I'm sure you answered this earlier and I apologise for reasking, what was the purpose of the false/real stem process? P.S. $31k for a boom seems pretty bloody expensive. At that price it'd want to provide crew accommodation as well...

    Rib Accident at VOR Lorient Start

    I wish LID was here... he'd take everyone for a walk in the moonlight (or whatever the fuck that was) and get to the bottom of all this quick smart.

    Bob, how is the first build going? Got any updates for us? I was really enjoying watching the progress of this project.

    G4 Fail

    It seems that most folks here think that being called a cruiser/racer means that is is both at all times. The boat was pretty clearly in race mode and that's part of the reason it went over. If you want to take the wife and kids along, put it in cruiser mode and back it off, a lot. With a reef...

    Sydney to Hobart 2014

    Comanche and WOXI now on the same line. Must have been a header there that pulled WOXI down to Comanche's line.

    New Cubed - First Supermaxi Since Speedboat

    Ryan, can I ask what the use case is for these? I thought they were more likely to use an outrigger on a big overlapper, which would need to be a lot further back on the boat. What would you use it for on the smaller jibs? Sheeting angle for heavy reaching?

    Maxi Yacht Speedboat

    Abbo, which ones? I don't recall seeing them in the Syd-GC results, or any of the Blue Water Pointscore races (except maybe Cabbage Tree).

    2013 Sydney to Hobart

    Gimmee, it was a good race, but it wasn't that close... I think it was 4.5 hours between the top 6. From 3 days 18 hours 27 minutes to 3 days 22 hours 59 minutes.

    2013 Sydney to Hobart

    Clean, Here you go. Sydney forecast: bom.gov.au/nsw/forecasts/Sydney.shtml Hobart forecast: bom.gov.au/tas/forecasts/Hobart.shtml Hobart gets pretty cool at night, but a snug or sweater and shell should cover it.

    2013 Sydney to Hobart

    When I read the article on the RS2H website, I took it to mean that he had spent the money on the boat, not a bet. Here is the relevant quote: "Delegat spent the money on the winner of the last Volvo Ocean Race, the Volvo 70 Groupama 4."
