Sydney to Hobart 2017

[dachopper]

So a little birdy just told me, they are coming to next year's Hobart with their new weapon.

Gamechanger!

[duncan (the other one)]

[dachopper]

Can't say more til it's in the public domain .....

Ok - it's there now - they should have ironed out the bugs by then

They're going to need a bigger iron. That boat has more issues than a neurotic agoraphobic hypochondriac.

 

[DtM]

Which game is it going to change?

 

[dachopper]

They will start with every game below 46 feet, and move up from there

I think Varuna's the dark horse if she's entered..

 

[MPH]

Yep they'll sure kick all the 40's footers asses!

Not so sure about the 50's though

dunno about 2017.. why not try this year's thread (hint: she's entered).

Well, they still beat a volvo 60, cookson 50 and tp52 over the line in the Middle sea race.

The only thing that beat it in the 50 foot range was a single cookson 50.

Maverick was 13 places behind (over the line) Black Pearl (Carkeek 47) for the Giraglia. Black Pearl was 40 minutes ahead.

 

[dachopper]

They were actually 3rd over the line behind the pearl and Alive, and 3rd over the line in the transat behind leopard100 and Marten 72, and 8th in the Rolex middle sea behind a cookson50, som 60/70 and 100 footers, never beaten by a smaller boat, and still not sailing at full potential.... huge upward vector for those guys in the future.

Better start up a S2H 2018 thread before someone else grabs it

That's funny!9 hours and 20 minutes to the start...

I would not have sailed with my dragon.

But hey,, there are no dragons in the fleet because they are too old fashioned.

Does anybody know how to watch the start of the race from the US online?
