Sure glad Boris follows this thread. Disaster averted.

Yep a gybe would be good. Looks like they need to stay out of the zone.

Or, no, I'm not an asshole so I'm going to call that crap out.

I love how all of you internet hard guys won't spell out the word fuck. If you're going to be a fucking badass, then BE a fucking badass.

I dont think you know what a bad ass is.

So who was it that said Nico was a shit navigator?

Looks to me like he did pretty well. Winners are grinners.

hard earned win on a massive leg. congrats.

That is not correct - true wind includes leeway. TWA is wrt course.

Similarly, most VPPs treat TWA as wrt course.

You have to go back to something like a H2000 for TWA to be wrt heading, although I recollect H3000 tried to correct things eary in its life.

Ground wind is something else.

On the leeway I'm not sure.. but if current is taken into account it is Ground Wind (what meteo men use). TW is always reference to the water; which may be moving and that is the important factor.

I think we are both saying the same thing.

Congrats Team Malizia! A southern ocean classic with gritty sailing by all. Inspiring. Thanks!

LOLLL I am watching the leg finish from the Malizia chase boat and they made fun of Nico (all in good heart) saying they aren't showing him because he is "camera-shy" and then he went back inside the boat and they were like "That was Nico going back inside, if you missed him you're out of luck, he's elusive."
Also good to see Rosie on deck waving to people!

Pretty sure Rosie will be whisked off for a scan after the greetings and something fresh to eat.

After listening to Kevin on one of their videos, I;m glad that he has his ego clipped. Thought it was bad form when in second place to say he was not 'pushing it', then correcting himself partially. He was pushing as hard as the boat would let him.

But the inference was there just the same. He was butt hurt and taking it badly.
