JK 28 Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 Skinner doing well on Venture 2, currently 19th on line. Link to post Share on other sites
smithy09 50 Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Giacomo just moved into 4th! Only 100 footers in front of her now.. Awesome performance. Hope they can hold their spot up the river... Link to post Share on other sites
ScottiE 174 Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 yup - have BG directly astern and looking to well ahead of BJ. One more gybe to reach the bottom mark which they look like they should be able to protect. Have to say this second group of Beau Geste, Giacomo, Black Jack and Wild Thing have had the kind of competitive race you dream about! Link to post Share on other sites
ScottiE 174 Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 and as they enter the bay its anyone's guess! Giacomo looks to be tacking a wide berth while Beau Geste is hugging the turning mark. Looks fluky as usual inside looking at Loyal and Rag's courses in. Link to post Share on other sites
smithy09 50 Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Surely Black Jack must have damaged their downwind gear. they went from solid 20kn to 12kn.. The finish is getting real hot with the race for 4th real close. Only 0.6 nm covers Giacomo, BG, and Wild Thing,, Wild thing and Black Jack have made a huge come back....

smithy09 50 Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Torn Main apparently on Black Jack. Great recovery to 4th. 3 min covered BJ, Beau Guest and Giacomo. Pretty damn close and a great effort by the Volvo 70s. New respect for those boats!! Link to post Share on other sites
