25 to 30 knot Southerly should make the race start quite exciting :blink:

She seems to be in Sydney, but I've seen no mention (without looking too hard) of a feed this year. 

Edit - youtube and facebook feed.

Same shit as ever on ch 7. I wonder how the cameramen will focus without a big 7 on a sail to follow.

Position main boats at the moment according to windy,

Ichi ban The TP 52, in 20 + knots up wind will be hell in my opnion, But they like that.
Fantastic shots.

Supply chain issues in the hair dye industry

Welcome to 2021

Mark Richards isn't one of off the nassiest.
And nor  it is about his hairdress.
Sorrry for him and Comanche didn't compete.
Betted on the wrong race,

Where is Comanche now, Somewhere in Caribean? Wrong bet.


By the way? Who is most handsome, sailor girl or Mark? 

Sexy bussiness, rock stars.


This is the new rock star, Captain Law Connect. Christian Beck.
Is his hair all right, what do the trolls think?

In the maxi series race vid, Skally's windward rudder kicks up a lot of disturbance. L/C w/w rudder almost no fuss. What's the difference?

You forgot the current.

Haven’t you seen Saving Nemo!

Haven’t you seen Saving Nemo!

No I didn’t. I just did not include it on the posted images. I grew up on the English Channel. No need to watch a kids movie about a handicapped fish.

Also, it make less difference than one would think for this years race.

Edit: Although, I will add that it is going to kick up the sea state somewhat early on in the race.

Haven’t seen the video but you get two options with wide twin rudder boats.  Set them so minimise drag from windward rudder when heeled or minimise drag when flat.  Designers / crews may have taken opposite options.

Also the Toe-In is variable underway, so it’s possible Law Connect and Scallywag had their angles set differently.

I actually respect WOXI for not racing. I love talking shit about that boat, but they did well staying in the shed for another year.
