ex Elly 275 Posted December 29, 2025 Share Posted December 29, 2025 A hard race this year. Vixen and V5 have retired, along with 31 others. But other NZ boats Rum Bucket, Gizmo, and Callisto are still going. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

K4309 448 Posted December 31, 2025 Share Posted December 31, 2025 So the winner didn't win and the boat 54 minutes back did win after not winning. And in breaking news, a two handed boat won (both the one that did win then didn't win and the boat that didn't win but did win both had two hands) Which is odd, cause last I heard they were complaining that boats that used autopilots had an unfair advantage over boats with 1 or 2 rugby teams onboard, and weren't eligible for the overall trophy. I can see how the general public get confused by and give up on this archaic sport called yacht racing. Why is participation declining again? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ex Elly 275 Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 Amazing feat: first female skipper to win, first double-handed boat to win, and she only started sailing 10 years ago! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
waikiore 514 Posted Tuesday at 09:46 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 09:46 PM No problem with autopilots for the two handed crews, though I do have an issue with all the maxi boats running engines 100% of the time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Psyche 897 Posted yesterday at 12:44 AM Share Posted yesterday at 12:44 AM Modern maxi's need power to run systems, it comes with the territory. Also no one really cares what the 10 million plus boats do since they will never own or race on one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
