Fogg 427 Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 It's looking much better this morning. In line with the forecast it's already blowing E15 down the harbour. They should be able to lay a good windward-leeward course with no drifting today. Link to post Share on other sites
Fogg 427 Posted March 17, 2012 Author Share Posted March 17, 2012 On station off Bayswater good view of start box. Great breeze, steady ENE 15ish. Tons more spectator boats than yesterday but not carnage, all pretty relaxed so far. And no super yachts blocking the views they are considerately anchoring behind the smaller boats via they can see over us easily. Link to post Share on other sites
Fogg 427 Posted March 17, 2012 Author Share Posted March 17, 2012 Camper leading towards the bottom mark. Link to post Share on other sites
Fogg 427 Posted March 17, 2012 Author Share Posted March 17, 2012 Upwind back towards top mark Camper comfortable lead ahead if Puma and Groupama battling second. Then Sanya, Abu and Telefonica last. Link to post Share on other sites
Fogg 427 Posted March 17, 2012 Author Share Posted March 17, 2012 Guessing Camper's lead is over 30s which is huge after such a short distance. The TNZ lads are pulling it out for the home crowd - why can't they find this extra boat speed in the other legs??? Link to post Share on other sites
Fogg 427 Posted March 17, 2012 Author Share Posted March 17, 2012 Camper take the gun. Followed by Puma then Groupama. Then Sanya, Abu and Tele surprise with a last place port race. Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 Looks like it was a bit crowded on the harbour AC?? Link to post Share on other sites
Fogg 427 Posted March 17, 2012 Author Share Posted March 17, 2012 And one more from Fusion, the trophy that they are all fighting for (except Abu Dhabi, Sanya and Camper of course). Link to post Share on other sites
Fogg 427 Posted March 17, 2012 Author Share Posted March 17, 2012 Looks like it was a bit crowded on the harbour AC?? Busy but not too bad. Nowhere near as crowded as during the LV Cup for example. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 I suppose their win means that we can't call Camper "Clifford" any more. Link to post Share on other sites
