Makes diagnosis difficult then. Get a real voltmeter and take real measurements.

I'm having problems understaning the graphs. What are the actual sectors on them?

Images won't open

That's not a radical bend, I would think you could do it in a roller bender. Long radius S shape rather than two separate bends would produce less stress.

This.

they did stipulate a one-hull rule. Regrets, I've had a few...

our gas locker (now redundant) also houses the liquid fuels. Constantly smells of tw-stroke fuel fumes... 😏

bloody hell. Or heel. We've had SO beyond 45 degrees from time to time. Don't even get wet in the cockpit. Well, not from seawater.

the definition of rich man racing. No technical or operational relevance at all to the boating population, and boring as batshit to watch. F1 had this problem for a while and fixed it with technical limitations, but they had the advantage of 10 competitors, 20 vehicles at any one time. Yachts match racing (AC at least) has two competitors, 3km off-shore in a procession. Best you can hope for as an observer is a gear failure or an operator error to liven things up.

We have white upholstery in the Volvo. It's from hell.

Agree with your sentiment K, or as I understand it. To move away from geopolitics and into media and advertising, the reason we are in thrall with this is that we are fed it. I'd expect interest on a site like crew or anarchy, but the wider interest globally is the result of media selling advertising. Nothing else. There is no deep public interest in the narrow subject area of "billionaires dying in unusual circumstances". There is, however, a fatburg of schadenfreude and celebrity fascination that makes this stuff a goldmine for ratings.
