Originally posted by Chris 249 Hmmmm, Mistral sailor in the background sheeting in and loving it, some guys on a Tornado with the forward hand standing there brave and tall and the skipper skulking down to leeward, too scared to get on the wire. If you look closely, you can see his white knuckles and terrified brow from here, and yet he sails that old people's home known as a Tornado rather than a fast lively cat like a Taipan 4.9.......what's wid dat guy????

Hey Chirs.  First of all I am not stupid enogh to get up there with the crew.  I know what I am about to do.  Put it in the piss big time .(actually better VMG with one on wire).  I also sail the T because I don't like sailing slow Taipans .  Don't think a 4.9 would survive in this too well.

Originally posted by Chris 249 I bet he didn't even sail this Sunday......WE would have sailed this Sunday, of course, if only we hadn't agreed to let some Vicwegians use the boat. We woz raring to go.

Hard to sail without a boat.  I was down at the club and saw you running away with your boats in tow.  I was ready to crew for you in that 35 knot southerly

Not long after they called the racing off at 1.00 pm, the wind dropped to a perfect 20 to 22 knots

Moments before a gust from over the breakwater bit us in the a$$

Looks like the T foil rudder did not do the job

i notice a common theme of catamarans and trimarans this goes to prove they are the most extreme boat!!!

hopefully this will annoy enough people and get some good arguments""""
