Wrong race, wrong record, generally all wrong... @Editor?

I've said it before, it's the Affront Page...

Including being wrong on the boat launched "few months ago" 

Quite impressive indeed

A question for the veterans:  Apparently, there used to be a North American Class 40 Association.  Does anyone know of such a thing or what passes for such a thing these days?

Seems like it was copied directly from the class 40 site. The English translation doesn't make any sense

I thought this was a good update from the team in charge of Class40's RTW:

I hope it is very fast.  That would make it look a lot better.

3 spreader rig??

Class 40s often opt for the 1 wide as spreader setup

They do indeed although given the position of the spreader in the photo I'd presume she is running a more traditional 2 spreader rig.

Ferk. Did somebody dig up R.J. Mitchell? It looks like a Spitfire the way it rakes and tails off to the rear. 



Actually, that's a bit unfair. The spitfire was gorgeous from any angle, that looks horrific.

Which Class40 is this relating to Tanton?

The one under construction. See page 1.

I hope the speed justifies the look 

What are the aluminium poles on the sidedeck?
