Clive 13 Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Nice, very nice! Link to post Share on other sites
TimW 1 Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Those photo's don't really show how fresh it was at times. I thought we had plenty on in our grossly underpowered boats, but could always think about how it would be for Mike on an Extreme 40. On TV those things have definitely flipped in more benign conditions than we had on Sunday and that is fully crewed, so huge ups to Mike. I'm actually also very pleased that Bruce was in the chase boat to take the photo's, its just suddenly made the whole thing seem a lot more sensible ! It is a great concept the Single Handed and it is a lot of fun. I was practising at Xmas with Code Zero's and Code 3's and it was very challenging but also fun. Maybe a no holds barred race is on the cards? Certainly only if the conditions are good. On Sunday I don't think I'd be game to have flown a zero, but if it had been lighter the option would be nice.
