An update on the NZ entry... https://www.theoceanrace.com/en/news/12251_-This-is-a-special-race-.html I guess this thread belongs over in VOR Talk.

Doh! Somehow when you said Motorboat, I immediately thought you were talking about the first one! Ah, the ravages of old age. But you kids gotta get more creative in naming your boats .

Interesting essay here (translated) on the ability of Olympic classes to handle a wide range of sailing conditions... https://www.sailingillustrated.com/single-post/2019/04/11/Olympics-On-the-unseaworthiness-of-certain-Olympic-classes-a-brilliant-essay-by-Michele-Tognozzi-ITA-in-Farevela?fbclid=IwAR0WIN9OPjAU_iGT1Tl92N31NKAKFXObOXqpuq61ptkNI1LA246AKREoVho One quote stood out to me:

Interesting comparing the 12m multihull stern-to rate with monohull-no finger... $604.50 multi vs $790.50 mono, a 30% premium for less real estate? What am I missing?

Are you saying the class died? I see no nationals since 2016. What happened?

I checked the links (also found this one - https://rwponsonby.co.nz/blog/2018/february/22/heritage-champ/?utm_source=Robert+Munro&utm_campaign=04ff26e40f-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2018_02_21&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_0fa3db5437-04ff26e40f-207952709) but it's not obvious to me what is being referred to here: If this is not proceeding as intended, how and why?

Yep, Mander's book "Give a Man a Boat" is a classic.

Actually an AP article by Bernie Wilson. The scum at NZ Herald removed his by-line.

Thanks.

Does "suspend racing" have special meaning under the race rules or does it just mean a boat has decided to seek shelter for a time. Are they allowed to use their motor at all during this period, e.g. to help navigate into a safe anchoring location?
