British IRC Nationals

[Schmoo]

Anyone who was on the water that could report on the pace of the new Archambault 40 RC...?(Aria is one of the few prototypes built to the design before the start of the production, whereas British Soldier is one of the production one i believe)

Thanks

Aria seemed to have an edge on British Soldier. From my perspective, on board Jump, they needed about 12 knots to get up and go. Under that, they seemed to struggle a little.

Just my 2c

Aria looked fucking awesome. I mean, really nice.

In SZ Alegre looked the biz, but got shafted by her handicap, and to be fair only came off the ship like four days before the event.

Kerr 1 - Mills 2 if you take into account the Irish IRCs and Scottish Series?

well considering blondie was the only mills at those events that really mattered. (in this context)

I am not sure I understand your question. If it is about the blue team, Prime Time is a French boat.

?French designed and manufactured?

Yes, the A stands for Archambault, and the designer is Bernard Nivelt.

[Yacht Racing Life]

Well Sunday's postponement resulted in some fun when the entire fleet was circling the Russian VO70: View attachment 77341

The chines and 'hollows' look really interesting from up close.

I put some video of the Russian VO70 on my website at:http://www.offshorerules.co.uk/khxc/index.php?app=gbu0&ns=prodshow&ref=240

I meant irish IRCs and Scottish Series.

But Voodoo beat NNF at British IRCs so still Ker 1 Mills 0.

If Mills is 0 and Ker 1, then Corby must be 2 because his Rosie design won the entire event.

Good result for a bunch of Howth boys with the boatbuilder calling the tacticks and an annual budget that wouldn't last a weekend on some of the new boats.
