grant 40 Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Madness! Boats doing 18-20knots and they're pushing to make the time, effectively there is now a lower wind limit of about 15knots Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 That is stupid. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 For 3 years they have been telling us this event is made for the facebook generation hence TV. It's never been nor never was intended to be a yachting contest as we all know them. Hence the rules are what the rules are. Link to post Share on other sites
Mothership 6 Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 An hour of television sans ads is 42.5min. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 The sooner we win it and turn it back into a yacht race the better. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 This is a complete joke. If this was made for TV then I would think the TV audience would like to see a race finished!!!! Wind ange to get a race finished 12-18 knots Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 How hard to get back into the right head space for the next one. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 How can the race committee postpone a race for 10 minutes because of the wind limits and not have the power to extend a race for 10 minutes once its started. Not happy Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 This is a complete joke. If this was made for TV then I would think the TV audience would like to see a race finished!!!! No, apparently the iFacebook generation have tiny attention spans so they have already forgotten what they were watching. The short race format is so the commentators can remind them every 45mins before they stress out and have to resort to the 'WTF am I watching and is my hair still looking like Miley Cyrus' App (available for iPh and Android) For those expecting to see a yacht race as we all know them please download the 'f*ck that sh*t, where a real regatta or at least some big wobbly boobies App' (only available for Android as Apple thinks boobies are naughty) It's hard knot to take the piss. Oh cool, Knight Rider is on the other channel. I bet KITT would have made the time limit Link to post Share on other sites

wheels 543 Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Also, I don't think there was much in boat speeds, but Dean picked the wind pressures better. Yep they are looking faster this time. Link to post Share on other sites
