What Is It?

[Editor]

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!

Loki with the sprit now painted black?...

 

[NyJboat]

Dont think its Loki. You can kind of make out the name in the nonskid but I cant figure it out.

 

[DRIFTW00D]

S 10 ??

 

[Terrorvision]

Don't know what it is but it looks frickin' sweet.

santa cruz 45

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.

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.

 

[NyJboat]

I was thinking that too. Although I dont think this sail was built with rolling in mind.

Looking at that graphic I think NavySailing has it.

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? They look like they're perpendicular to the luff.

Could it be Alan Brierty's new Reichel/Pugh 62 Limit?

 

[Gong Show]

So the contest is nailed.

How many more left fielders still out there?

Flag and water colour give away the location - definitely Argentina!

Nice looking ride.

The give away for me was the S40 on the back.

That and google, and a quick wikipedia check to make sure that was an Argentinian flag.

Agreed 100%, just trying to point out any possible wrong answers...

Never seen battens oriented like that, anyhow.
