The Ocean Race 2023 leg 3: Capetown to Itajaí, Brazil

Dark for them now, going to be the longest roughest night, hope everyone stays safe

Impressive view of the traffic! However, Itajai is pretty much where your purple line is crossing the coast in the south, so in that sense they are lucky (for this leg).

Yes I realized this just now and deleted the evidence, but not before getting embarassed in front of everyone lol

There might indeed be something wrong with the HOLCIM-PRB Boat. Unfortunately they are not going to tell us until they reach Itajai. HOLCIM went from Dead Even 3 Hours ago to 25 Miles behind. That is just not quite right.
And it all happened after that now we can truly say unintentional gybe?

Autopilot issues on Holcim?
Looked like a bad gybe, and hand steering since then.

Jup, precisely it means "Dampfplauderer".

Malizia - recording a peak of almost 50 knots wind speed, which has also swung through nearly 30 degree twice in the last 30 minutes. I'm astounded at the speed they are maintaining in these conditions.

more or less pointless talk

 

[TheDragon]

Ouch, this is really rough for Rosie trying not to get tossed about in her bunk. TM down to 13 knots.

That was over an hour ago, tracker has not updated to 2300 utc yet (at least for me).

Isn't tomorrow April 1st?

Calling dg_shithittingfan an April fool is doing the other eleven months a disservice - she/we/he/it has proven to be a year round fool.

Yeah,
I agree with @despacio avenue! That Comment by @Fiji Bitter about Rosalin Kuiper was totally disgusting because I find her really refreshing and funny on that Boat.

No, that comment was disgusting and highly disrespectful regardless of Rosalin's personality. Although she has shown herself to be tough as nails and able to keep high spirits through just about anything in this leg, I trust that she would be able to roll her eyes and ignore this shit being thrown from the gutter if she ever became aware of it.

I have to think someone on that big TM team monitors this thread.
What a way to represent SA eh ??

Anybody made a scraper script to get the positions and ranking etc. from this page yet? I can probably do one but don't have lots of time at the moment and don't want to reinvent the wheel.

A bit woke, you, or just ............. (fill in)
And it seems you are not alone here...

Oh, and do you really think Rosie, or Bessie for that matter, would be "offended"?

Yeah, I do. There is no place for this sexist, misogynistic crap in sailing, or anywhere.

My my Herman, are we touchy today?

And you were right, we are missing Southern Cross, Stief, and certainly Jack_the Ripper.
And quite a few more, actually.

SC and Stief were/are class acts. You are not. Change the subject and get back to racing.
