It's a (heavily) modified Melges 30.

 

[Mr. Squirrel]

And while Yellowbrick has Peerless in Section 2, they clearly started with Section 3. Watch this video from 23:30 in - http://www.justin.tv/onthewateranarchy/b/325770229

More importantly, have you seen BT without a hat? Shield your children's eyes!

Essentially a Melges with the mother of all bow sprits! Even the Cone probably feels prodder-envy around the mighty Peerless.

Hey Yellowbrick

You got Geronimo in Section 5 listed at 0.821. He should be at 0.917. There are 2 Geronimos in the race, one in Section 5 and one in Section 8 (which is the one that is 0.821).

Corrected. Sorry.

Also corrected the Section number for Peerless.

Folks, they have a hundred miles to go. There are 2-3 races left to go...things will change.

since it is Sunday, here is our daily bible lesson: "So the last shall be first, and the first last.." (Matthew 20:16)

+1.

The section and fleet estimated positions are quite useful. Most appreciated.

The soap freighter might be suffering from a little stage fright...they had the same problem with Beau Geste

 

[Fat Point Jack]

Cherokee Monkey is taking an interesting flyer.

 

[Grinder]

What were those on Natalie J thinking going to the lee of the island?

 

[More Cowbell2]

WTF happened to Il Mostro? GThey've been 2nm off of Christmas Cove for a couple of hours. Tracker off?

 

[Grinder]

No fucking wind!

Its still a long race. Those guys know what they are doing. Gotta sail what you got. Looks like they are in a hole.

I'm sorry but 2 rules to this race. Do not get to far inland behind pt. Betsie and do not get caught in the lee of the islands. I knew that when I was 17 in the 80's.

It looks like Peerless is within 5 miles of the STP 65 and ahead of the TP 52. Pretty impressive for a 32 ft boat to be mixed in with the 70 footers with less than 70 miles to go.
