Guest Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 Enigma belongs to Ed Dubios. We had a sail today and she is a bit of a handful. Not very stable. Link to post Share on other sites

They were leading in the last race of the day before it got called off, hopefully the results can keep improving! Link to post Share on other sites
SloopJohnB 323 Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 Crickey 1st in the Race 1 Is it the same boat? My brother own a boat called Olivia Anna ?? when he lived in England, it was a Peter Norlin design. Link to post Share on other sites

They were leading in the last race of the day before it got called off, hopefully the results can keep improving! Knowing the age difference and the differing IOR rule changes thru the 70's and 80's period there will be some real differences between boats. And i wonder how much difference there is because of the Mods some have made to some of these boats. The old 727's would be slow against the likes of the newer Anchor Challenge designs, for example.

SloopJohnB 323 Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 They run a handicap system, ranging from 0.814 for Olivia Anne to 0.917 for Anchor Challenge Not sure what the system is but it is on the QT website somewhere. Link to post Share on other sites
