2023 Sydney to Hobart

[The Dark Knight]

With less than 11 months to go, I’m surprised a 2023 thread has not already been created.


Team Scallywag has just announced their program for this year.

Currently it is up here in Brisvegas undergoing a refit. I heard a new mast was being made and the boat is now in the shed being worked on.

You can summon the idiots to this thread like beetlejuice by saying “celestial, celestial, celestial”.

What's the forecast?

There will be wind from either the N S E W or some combination there of...

 

[SloopJohnB]

And varying degrees of speed.

 

[Goodvibes]

[SPORTSCAR]

Windy with a high probability of Sunfish, or not, as the case may be…

Expect a vendetta and a lot of speculative misinformed drivel from Whinging Anarchist Dave against the Overall Winner whoever he or she is especially if they have ever done any Handicap or Rating optimisation in the last decade.Don’t expect any reference from him whatsoever to any sponsor.

Time to make some preparations.

2) perfect the 5 headsail setup

Anything im missing?

The difference between racing at night under a full moon and new or crescent is, if you'll pardon the pun, night and day.

I'm hardly an expert in the art Google search, let alone moon phases.

No annoyance intended, but about the only thing we can be certain about this years race are the moon and tides.

Back to banter, groundless speculation, and solving the world's problems.

Either way it is dark. Just separates the seat of the pants from the instrument reader………….

That will depend on whether the person/s that Dave is the mouthpiece for approve of next year's winner or not.
