All things Class40

[JonRowe]

I don't think it's that weird, it looks like the boat has "tripped" over the edge of something like a container

 

[Countryclub]

It looks to me like there was an adjustment in ballast/RM and a chunk of lead was removed from the top front of the bulb.Note the separation, solid lead ain't going to do that .

 

[Schakel]

Meanwhile the Dutch boat Sec Hajai will be leading general ranking.
Well done IJsbrandt Endt and Frans Budel.

256 nM for Whiskey Jack and the leg 6 is finished.

Two legs to go:
1 to Grenada Island
2 to Lorient where the final finish is.

 

[Greyhound37]

interesting. The oldest boat is in first.

 

[Schakel]

The three leg winners in Recife.

Whiskey Jack 88.4 nM for the coast doing 9.5 knots.
