Guest Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Bookmakers have it as a two horse race. Comanche is one hell of a damned big pig ugly critter. Oxi could not have much more room left for movable swingy rolly things. Sydney inner harbour teaser. Just 9 sleeps to go Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe one day the will think of live streaming coverage from some of the yachts entered.Duh. Channel 7 will carry live add ridden start coverage that you can access. Link to post Share on other sites

Because people with zero sailing knowledge direct it, they cross to ads at the worst possible times. Link to post Share on other sites

Island Time 1,211 Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Interesting start, commanche stepping out, then wild oats coming up higher, looking better now, on the wind. Commanche looks to have the legs on WO off the wind, as expected Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Soul Expression Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 I am impressed with the speed of Commanche. Wow what a boat! Still only 1 mile ahead of WO after nearly 20 hours. I think WO might take them in the light. It's going to be a tough race today! Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Soul Expression Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 Rio 100 currently in 3rd. Not bad for a fixed keel boat!! Link to post Share on other sites
ballystick 72 Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 Things looking interesting as the two leading yachts get closer to the bottom of Tassie, Comanche has closed up to Wild Oats and is travelling much faster - gone from 40nm behind to 22nm in a short time.

Island Time 1,211 Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 Yep Rio 100 doing well. She's still the fastest boat I've ever sailed - back when she was konica minolta. I think commanche may run out of time/track to catch up... Link to post Share on other sites
