markm 30 Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 It is certain, technically in just over an hour but to win, Maluka would have to average about 130kts which would seem just a little improbable. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
erice 732 Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 New Zealand boat Giacomo takes Sydney-Hobart overall win Giacomo, a 70-foot New Zealand yacht skippered by winemaker Jim Delegat and whose teenage sons Nikolas and James were among its crew, was declared the handicap winner of the Sydney to Hobart race on Thursday, just over a day after it crossed the line second behind line honors winner Perpetual Loyal. Giacomo completed the race in 1 day, 15 hours, 27 minutes, 5 seconds, just a few minutes ahead of the Hong Kong-based supermaxi Scallywag. All three top finishers were under the 2012 record Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Island Time 1,226 Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Great effort Giacomo, well done! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Clipper 343 Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Is the blue and white in the Giacomo colour scheme represent a Police uniform with the grey and red in it denote the police persons complexion as the red blood drains out of them? I liked the herald headline. Something along the lines of "cop basher wins hobart". Having said that, im very impressed and happy a NZ boat won the race (and did exceptionally well on line).
