Fuck me they've got a pair of proper wafflers on commentary.

 

[Livia]

Sad that there are no Qld entries for a race that finishes in Qld.
Then again the Arsehats have protected club administrations that have fucked over owners, guess there are no boats left.

 

[The Dark Knight]

I hope the drone pilots have enough spare batteries.

 

[Matagi]

Woxi never looked better.
So good to see her out racing again.

What a stark contrast to the forms we saw rolling out in the Imoca classes the last days.

Fuck Hewie! Just a coupla knots. Is that too much ask??Poor bastards.Some haven’t gone 20 miles in 6 hours.

 

[Jethrow]

Yes. The standard comment today while drifting around the RPA Saturday race was "Well, at least we aren't going to Southport"!

John Winning JR in the lead up to the GC Race. He talks about knowing Iain Murray and says quote "Iain knew the best people".

 

[LionIsland]

Could be a race record if forecast holds

Could be. For the longest race ever. What’s for dinner. Tomorrow night.

Bunk Cushions, sorry I spent too long on a cruiser racer!

To be fair what would you expect?

do you mean that the top 9 on IRC currently consists of TP52’s and maxi chasers?

It’s a shame the forecast does not look like the slower boats like Crux (currently 10th) will get a favourable wind change.

 

[terrafirma]

How did Comanche get in front in the lighter conditions? Obviously the breeze picked up but pretty special effort so far from how the race has unfolded given the conditions.

The other 2 stayed inshore
