The pitchfork might run out of runway - but long way to go...

 

I am not yet convinced about expidition - VB were committed to heading hard right (from their pre start video) from teh start - I wonder about that level of certainty - sometimes the old ways are the best ways.

VB on the boogey now - above 30knots. Might get exciting - I don't imagine they are in the mood to hold back!

Oh crap. VB crew have all fallen overboard and we have a ghost ship running out of control.

 

Is that a reef or a boom bag?

KM ya blind b**tard, cant you sea the lazy jacks coming off the bag? cant tell if thats a reef inside it or knot though. looking at theirs, wireds and campers speeds i wouldnt think they would have a reef in

But looking at the speeds of the "cruising" fleet, they are sailing into more pressure, if I were forced into a prediction I'd say VB will continue to accelerate and will actually get in quite comfortably.
