Guest Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 I hear mathew flyns new 40 foot tri is here in auckland hiding at vaudrey miller. Are there any secret squirrels out there to get some pics? Link to post Share on other sites
Matty 0 Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 ok. the suspense was killing me! I had to go have a look. It looks AWESOME! Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 A pity it has too many hulls for your preference ahe Matty. Looks like it will be fun.. especially in under 15knots.. which supposedly is 80% of the time in Auckland? Any idea how long till splash day? Link to post Share on other sites
Clipper 346 Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 it looks pretty small for a 40 footer! Link to post Share on other sites
Matty 0 Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 looks like it needs a bit of work but what a machine! yes in the photos it does looks smaller than 40. the hulls do not have much freeboard but they do have a lot of volume. it will be a weapon! Link to post Share on other sites

TimW 1 Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 It goes, Staysail, Forestay, Solent, Zero. Similar to the set up on Geant, as Biscuits Cantreau they could have 3 furled headsails on at the same time. Its certainly going to be a very fast boat in the light with such a massive rig and also being sooo light. It will give TVS a decent run for its money in some conditions.

ScottiE 174 Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 . . . which is just as well given TVS's recent media release - clearly we're not up to it any more! "Simon says, “We’ve had no-one to race against in New Zealand . . . " Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 "Simon says, “We’ve had no-one to race against in New Zealand . . . " Well he should look in the mirror. only has himself to blame for that!!!! Matt hurry up and get that thing sailing. Seriously cool. Man it is exciting times in the open fleet. so much optimisation and tinkering happening it is soooo exciting.
