2023 Sydney to Hobart

[Goodvibes]

The yachting community hates any kind of examination.

People should be free to fill out their forms without interference or auditing. That's how it has been an fuck those who expect accountability.

Time to make some preparations.

1) install big red button near helm to switch off AIS
2) perfect the 5 headsail setup

Anything im missing?

Rig one crew member’s EPIRB to activate itself…

 

[SCANAS]

Indeed, actual currency may be a stretch, but we have many chunks of precious lead keel bulb, expired white flares & preloved and tested PLB’s to trade?

That is a load of Bollocks.

So here is what I think will happen

Herman will be 3 out of the heads after dropping a f bomb's and will do 2 x 720's just to make shore they are ok after the crew brown eyed WO at the start line. After all they were just trying to put MR in the spot light and It's a skiff thing.

MR will order in more extra strength hair gel and will also order in some knew hair colour and have a new hair dryer fitted in his state room.

Comanche will end up with line honours and BlackJack 2 nd, Scallywag 3 ed then WO.

Sam will get his 3 win on handicap only to have it taken away again Because he unset someone at the CYC again. Anarchist Dave will make shore it happens this way after all he has a axe to grind for someone.

Whorro will find a pod of sail fish again and this time he will get some more air time for his sponsor.

Hoppy will struggle to even get out of Morton Bay and will miss the start and not even the dark knight will be able to save him. Better try again next year in the 2024 race Hoppy.

As far as breeze goes ? It will be 15 knows and out of my ass at 20 knots

What more do we need to know

Stefan 100..? Wharro = What boat..? I thought Comanche was for 2 years.?

 

[pulpit]

Stefan 100..? Wharro = What boat..? I thought Comanche was for 2 years.?

Maybe Wharro and his team will put in an offer on WO11. After all it has heaps of second hand sails that would keep Wharro sailing for a few more years before he needs to put in his own $$$$$ to run the boat.

Heard the 80 is being chopped up & getting scallywags old rig.

A rumour from good sources or one you are starting? 🤪

 

[DtM]

Hoppy is going to charter Ichi Ban (the 52) so he can join first hand into the shit fight

Well, there's no shortage of 'expert' advice on that pink boat.

 

[Goodvibes]

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

And I'm surprised you didn't start the thread as an attention whoring thing last Xmas.

What else do you do with a boat that rates like a 90 and sails like a 70?

No way would I charter… but stay tuned for the upcoming “Aussie Ocean and club racers under $800k” thread

I don’t think they care about the rating.

No news yet on the possible sale of Oats X1..? I really don't think Wharro has the cash to buy it anyhow. The Botin 80 was almost a giveaway and he still bought that with others, not sure how much of his own cash went into that? Having said that he might have a choice, Black Jack or Oats XI ? Scallywag has had a refit and should do Hobart this year apparently and Comanche has one more year on the charter I suspect.? Could you imagine Wharro and Ricco on the same boat.!

Turn the radio off at green cape and its ok to ask the news chopper what sails the boat in front of you is using. And doing turns for bullshit in the harbor is for pussies.
