Looks pretty good to us. The first correct "who, what and where" gets a Sharon Green Ultimate Sailing calendar from our friends at Ultimate Sailing. Have at it!

who the fack furls the jib on a race boat ?????????????????my question is why the jib battens aren't perpendicular to the leech. They look more perpendicular to the luff, which makes no sense. Moreover, they can't be furled with that set up.
yeah, they're not furling that thing... Im sure there's a reason for it and its the first jib i recall seeing the battens at a slight vertical angle. I guess it helps distribute the load in some way?

i knew i was wrong !It's hull number 1 of the Javier Soto Acebal S40 in Argentina. I'm going to assume it's the owners, but I can't get their names.

what happened to the other 20 odd feet?Could it be Alan Brierty's new Reichel/Pugh 62 Limit?
Flag and water colour give away the location - definitely Argentina!It's hull number 1 of the Javier Soto Acebal S40 in Argentina. I'm going to assume it's the owners, but I can't get their names.
The give away for me was the S40 on the back.Flag and water colour give away the location - definitely Argentina!It's hull number 1 of the Javier Soto Acebal S40 in Argentina. I'm going to assume it's the owners, but I can't get their names.
Nice looking ride.
Agreed 100%, just trying to point out any possible wrong answers...who the fack furls the jib on a race boat ?????????????????my question is why the jib battens aren't perpendicular to the leech.
