What an amazing camera.

A few others didn't quite make it.. Lots of others didn't start.

Bit of drama out there, I see T Rex beating home under storm jib after clearly having a few issues in the Tamaki Strait. CG was standing by but I think they've got it under control now.

Imagine the poms not making it either!! Might as well not hold the bloody thing.

Yeah well, nah. Bit hollow without the sepos though. NYYC must have a plan to come back later.

Just don't give this sh*t any oxygen. That's what they want.

Agree, its a bit sh*t. I'd love to see dirty great big spinnakers, tacking duels and exhausted bowmen. Even TP52 racing, while spectacular is too techy. Give me a pole dip any day.

Spoke to the rep yesterday. The new "Repel" which has been awesome in testing is anywhere between one month and 100 years from market. They don't know. The powers that be haven't told them when its being tested. He reckoned that Ivomectin will give you healthier barnacles.

first two fundamental rules of sailing. 1- Don’t scare the missus. 2- Don’t bag the volunteers.

And also like perfect Storm, I've temporarily misplaced my triangle crew, not my wife, I'm not as careless as he is. But have a new gun on board who apparently remembers how to sail.

Me too

Oi!! Serious lack of excitement this year. Lets get into it. It's not that cold. Very reachy reachy course at this early stage.

Ha ha, Not everyone got that. I know Frank did. Classic.

I wonder how the paint shop feels about spraying it on.

hard or soft?
