Seeing on Social Media that Stefan Racing is upside down inside a shed looking like she's about to go under the knife. Anyone have any information on the mods?
Apart from she's going 100ft?

Expand on that? Can you be more specific? Nose job? Stern scoop? New rig?
Only heard rumours sorry, but the rumour was going 100ft with a new stern and scallys old rig

Who would’ve thought that hair could run a 100fter campaign ?
Being bald certainly not me...

Only Wharro could scheme that up. Like always though how do you start with a very slow 80 Footer and somehow turn it into a 100 that could match the other 100's.? Typically means on a limited budget what designer was used to draw these mods.? Yes extending the boat will make it faster but I doubt it will be on par with the skinny twins let alone LC. And as for Comanche don't even consider it.! So Australia gets another 100 footer..! Let's wait and see.?

You took the words right outta my mouth. It's got a Don Jones special written all over it.
I suspect that this has been discussed at great length elsewhere... But what is the advantages to cutting up an 80 footer (or any boat really) to make it 100? I assume time and potentially money? But still you are going to have a somewhat compromised boat and IF you are going to all the time and money to go to 100 foot wouldn't you be better off starting from scratch to have the boat with the least amount of compromises since the whole reason of going to 100 foot is to have THE fastest boat an line honours wins?
WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG!!!!
Go and buy a good TP 52 and sail a boat you can do justice too! And afford!
Instead of trying to compete in a league that you cannot come close to affording!
This will end in another financial disaster as previously incurred.

Almost certainly faster than CQS.
And likely faster than Scallywag.
Potentially faster than the RPs on a reach. The frankenthing is gonna have a near scow bow.
But it all depends on the quality of the crap Wharro cobbles together to make it actually sail?

I'M faster than CQR!
Scallywag, not so much she can be competitive in her conditions.
