I know you struggle with reading pil but i am only betting jugs of rum on irc with other competitors. No cash just a jug a rum and only if you are in the race.

No bets with lounge room hobart racers sorry.

I'll happily bet on the race home I'm on a A330 so good vmg!

Wise move

I'll take it....you're on!

Yes......will be fun to watch Feilberg hand that over....

Sounds like a big boat race if this forecast is accurate? Personally I think a little too much instability in the weather to predict yet? Sounds like Comanche would enjoy this if she can break the back of the race before it turns light and the angle in the run down is right

She is loving the electric, I'm hearing lighter too. She is far more efficient in managing sails and trim.

Didn't know Ed and Midnight Rambler had gone to a Sydney 36? Interesting choice of boat after the Ker 40 footer I would thave thought?

I hope this wasn't the reason to change, animation of a boat called Midnight Rambler in 70 foot waves...!

Correct because it's full of shit and dickheads that think they know a whole lot more than they do ike most of the threads here. 

Same dickheads slinging shit every year and fuck all posters that actually do the race.

Hence my offer of a jug on irc with other competitors. 

So far 1 week out, 1 jug been placed.

Lol

The models I ran on the 17th and the 18th had GFS slower than Euro by four to five hours or so.  Today was a big reversal with the Euro slower by some 14 hours. That tends to indicate quite a bit of instability and uncertainty to me. 

The last GFS I ran just now was 2 hours faster than this morning, (2 days 3 hours), super maxi (80% of polar).  Euro hasn't updated yet.

Predictwind showing light start 6-10 however direction is inconsistent between PWG, PWE, GFS & ECMWF until around 5pm then there seems to be an agreement of 14-17 Knots from the East to North east
