Well the old salts are wrong All that matters is that a fluid is spilled on the bow by a woman. I believe that is a christening of a boat and not a "launching" of a boat.

Kiteroa 8 Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Could have been worse. Best to do it right than rush it and cock it up. They could have put it in the water after months of work, only to smack a hole in it with the chase boat like the Oracle boys managed to earlier today.... That OR boat is cursed i reckon!

Curses are so last century Phil - they were used in explanation of things people didn't understand. It hardly surprises me that you believe in them. NOW!!!!!! I'll stick with maths, science, good engineering, project management and a great team thanks. Meanwhile....In other news Russ has been inferring that foiling may not be the way to go, funny the new pics of OR17 foiling then, that must have been accidental!! I hate it when that happens.....still looks a bit twisty but not like last time. Link to post Share on other sites
