There is a joke… and you fucking missed it.
You remember the seagull thing? from the last go around, where it was used as a metric of speed, where it was used as an absolute certainty backed up by “trust me bro.” science.

Yes, the distant shot over the buildings reminded me of the old British video of their B1 zipping along in the distance behind some buildings. Upon further examination I noticed a seagull fling across the screen rather fast. The measured speed of the seagull was twice as fast as it can possibly fly, thus we concluded that the video was sped up 2X from the original speed.
And from then on all speed measurements must to have a seagull in the video to confirm the actual speed....lol

Port foil on B2 looks like the ones on Ineos
AFAIK ETNZ's AC40 B2 is just going to be a stock one design AC40?

It’s a riddle. When is an AC40 not an AC40? When it’s a LEQ12.
Oh how they laugh down the pub when I tell that one.

Yet, that's exactly the right answer, Doggie.

looks like a seagull on the lampost itself.
need to include the rider that it is actually flying too. Jonathan Livingstone style and all that

He says it was all auto-pilot sailing.
He said they will be switching equipment between this AC40 and the LEQ12. If fact he said that the main was the LEQ12 main. I though they could only sail the AC40 with the AC40 equipment, since they already have an LEQ12?

Hmmmm. That was my thinking too, Alchy.

He said the AC40 is only “awesome” when on autopilot in calm water and 10 knots of breeze. And he said “you just push a few buttons”, and “you can’t even feel the speed.”
Who do they think is going to buy this dud of a boat again?
