AC36: The Match (6-15th March. Reserve days to the 21st)

[Jean-Baptiste]

I wonder if France is keen for another go

Doubtful, offshore has greater appeal. Plus  French billionaire funding a campaign would likely bring the wrath of the tax authorities as it would be clear if spending 100+m euro it is obvious you have been cheating.

I have a rather different interpretation. From the on board conversation, it seems clear to me that ETNZ knew there was power in the right, but they could not go back until LR had made its move. If they had tacked back right earlier and LR had continued, LR would have been in the better position. The only thing ETNZ could have done if LR had held on and headed for the right was to stay on starboard, going the wrong way. So when they say that they got lucky, it was lucky for them that LR tacked and therefore allowed them to go the way they wanted.

Yesterday, you were saying the copter was calling the right while they had been calling the left before.

Yesterday you were saying they were not lucky but now you accept that one of the crew said it, however you give your own explanation to try to find an excuse.

As usual you are full of shit Simon

And curtains closed to avoid inadvertently spotting smoke signals.

White smoke or black?  

That's good enough for the Pope, should be good enough for Dalton
