AC36 - The Match

[strider470]

Is that in the North? If so, it's a bit too far away from Cagliari for a day trip. 

I haven't seen such beauty during my stay in Cagliari, the TP52 took most of my attention. 

I picked random pictures of Sardinia, to say the truth. Cagliari is a big town, but not far from there you can find very nice places too, even without the need to go to the north, where the most famous tourist places are.

Draper suggested that it was possible, yes. In my experience though, any sandbagging happens in what teams hold back in the latest gear. The sailors (jockeys) on their race-horses, they try to win no matter what!  

The crews on both boats are awesome, anything could happen. 

He won (even with poor starts and a slower boat :blink: )

Does that in any way explain why Italians of Sicilian descent are so ... different?  Son of a Sicilian, by any chance @Xlot?  But then from what family tree did you inherit your intellect? 

So muddling up Sicily and Sardinia while suggesting 'Moors' are 'different' and lacking intellect!?

Mirror.....

As I said, Draper is among those who addressed PB’s bad starts in the December ACWS. The ‘Sailing Professor’ Orams has done so too at length.. it’s not like PB nailed any one of those starts! 
 

As to Sicilia and Sardegna, and about if I know Xlot, who has even been an honored guest of mine?  Please feel completely free to go ahead and stick that one up your ass too!

Watch the very first December ACWS race ETNZ v Luna Rosa. 
Burling nails Spittal and forces him to tack Before the start. 
oh how short the memories are and oh so convenient for the narrative.

My bad. Typing on my phone. I actually prefer Prada as I have fond memories of PJ Montgomery calling them Prada for the 2000 cup.

ahahaha I didn't want to bother. It just sounds so strange that so many people write Luna Rosa instead of Rossa. I was wondering the reason.

I think in the context, "Rosa" is more evocative of Jimmy's puckered little rosebud of an anus, quivering in fear mixed with anticipation, after recalling the brutal riveting he received in Bermuda...

No, and Spithill won the stard despite a slower boat at the time.

Interesting, a slower boat and/or a slower crew. Hats off for clearly improving both. We will soon see if it’s good enough and that’s worth this wait.

Jaysus, I’m worn out waiting for this final. So please fuck off Covid so that everyone is safe and we can have some much needed fun. Aaarrghhhhg

Even more interesting, TNZ was the team beaten by the first to go home...

Yes and they showed promise. A great shame that they broke the boat. 

 

[Paddywackery]

As has been mentioned before, you have to wonder if TR was sandbagging.

The picture shows LR across the line first but a lot slower having just tacked. Looks an even start but which is better depends on which side is favoured.

Nobody's mentioned it so far, but the start has been the decider. Spithill has been dialed in for the most part, and passing the leader is tough.

<bump>

As I said...

Any one in NZL got a forecast for today, not easy to find from the UK. Thanks in advance.
