Like the GGR or not, this is a very sad end of a dream. The boat certainly was done up rather nicely:

Yes. I did a bit of work on the boat and had a few chats with the skipper about "Southern Ocean !" sailing and strategy around the horn etc.. Hell of a nice guy.

I have sailed with Guy DeBoer, one of the American skippers. He's a gem of a guy and I hope that he not only makes it around but does so in winning fashion.

Helps that he's running a @Bob Perrydesign!

Interesting interpretation of the parallels.

A Tashiba 36 from 1986.
Great looking boat. Most Robert Perry ships do. Bob is his son as I remember.

 

[DtM]

You do not remember. One and the same person.

Will the b&w shootings at the „photo gates“ happen with platter cameras, or do they allow modern 6x6 ? 

 

[Bob Perry]

Guy's Tashiba 36 is probably the best of all those style double enders I have done. It was the last one I did in that style. It's quite quick

Maybe you'd like to see the hull lines. Guy has modified the stock rig and now has a double spreader rig. A good move for this race.

Thank you for the lines of the canoe stern,
I make prints of them, pure beauty.
Almost art.

But Rustler 36  is main competitor.  Try to buy one second hand. Impossible
Winning is important.

This one, smallest survivor on the notorious Fastnet race 1979.
Contessa 32 is good nice family cruiser/racer.

Time will tell Schakel.

[AnotherSailor]

I don't think Schakel is using your prints Bob. I believe he said that he likes them so much that he wanted to see them on paper and printed them. I might be wrong, but I don't think he is selling coffee mugs with your prints on them...

 

[Bob Perry]

Another:

I'm good with that. I'm a bit protective of my work. It's odd to walk into a nice restaurant and see a half dozen of my sail plans framed and mounted on the wall. I have always been happy to provide prints to anyone who wants them. For a reasonable fee of course.

 

[AnotherSailor]

Fair enough, Bob. I think any reasonable person who has engaged with you on this forum will have a sense of your generosity. 

 

[Schakel]

In two month the fleet leaves Sable d Ollone for a nine month challenge.
Before the start this article expected retirements.

The first entrant to give up due to personal reasons is Guido Cantini

 

[furler49]

It looks tough ay. 6 boats sailing round-the-world in the Globe40. People dropping like flys from the GGR and the OGR. Maybe 7 boats combined across two fleets in the Ocean Race.

Perhaps the IMOCA world and its Vendée Globe bubble is the only one that is able to sleep easily!

 

[Old Man On The Bow]

Glad to see this topic added to SA, haven't been on line here lately. Have sailed with Guy for many years, as Bob mentioned the changes in the spar looks to be bullet proof. Wishing Guy the best, as of this am he looks to be about 1/3 into his crossing to France.

Best Regards

Any of the skippers on here? A lot of them seem pretty savvy on the ‘gram, so it’s practically the same neighbourhood.
