 Topic: Daemon v GT60Posted: 21 May 07 at 8:31pm |

Was that you Tim in the Daemon at CSC on Saturday? As I tried to call across the water "beautiful boat, shame about the weather". Looks like 30knots was a bit much for it. 30knts was certainly too much for the V3000s; though sadly, not too much for the heavy, old, undercanvassed laser 3000s with their furling jibs and reefable mains, one of which hit 18.5knts! Maybe the Daemon needs an "S" rig like the Vago Seriously ... cool boat tho. If you bring it again, can I have a ride please? Edited by NickA |

It was indeed me at Carsington. Think that the 30knots was more of a problem to the sailors in it than the boat itself!
 Good fun though. We only managed 17 knots with the kite up as it was so balistic that we were having issues maxing it out, too worried about staying attached to the boat in those gusts! We'd managed 16.8 before we even hoisted though which was quite amusing!I'm only down in Derby so will more than likely be up again so will let you know. Can't justify the joining fee at the moment as I travel most weekends so won't be there much. |

Not really; a V3k won the second race that day, and was leading the third till it lost its crew at the last mark 50m from the finish |

... and didn't that V3k sailor whinge about it being his new boat's fault I reckon the wind had dropped a little by race 2... and of course I would have won the race myself if we hadn't been upside down attempting to reattach the clew outhaul when the starting gun went off! nuff said - 'tis a cherub thread not another 3000 one.

Well it appears we don't have to wait til July... The daemon and Atum both went head to head with the GT60 (or B1c as it is now) Cherub 2698 on saturday. Light air (definitely not in our favourite part of the design envelope for 140kg in the bus, but no excuses...) We kind of messed up any viable comparison on race 1 because we misunderstood the sailing instructions and started another lap... when Atum carried on past the leeward mark toward the finish we spun her around and hoisted, but couldn't retake the lead... Race 4 we couldn't sail as Adam had work to do and I couldn't be bothered. Results from races 2 and 3 at weymouth on saturday were fair fights though.... click on the panel top right to select the race you want to see... http://www.halsraceresults.com/crs/crs.aspx?DSKey=272&Cl assKey=-1138147199&SeriesKey=-929654070 enjoy!

Mate you need to sort that out! 160kg is good for 14ing with 18.5sqm upwind and 50sqm down, but 12ft waterline length is going to struggle. I think 140 is heavy for a cherub so I'm running to work and home now to keep the lard down - I have an excuse though. I was 40 in April!!

My lack of performance on the water is made up for in the bar afterwards though. You can't win them all eh?!

(hardly the boat's fault). Agreed, it would have been easier sailing an L3k...
