Guest Rocket Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 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.

Guest Rocket Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 VB on the boogey now - above 30knots. Might get exciting - I don't imagine they are in the mood to hold back! Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 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? Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 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? Ha..thats probably why its gone so well today Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 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 Link to post Share on other sites
khayyam 68 Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 that pic's dated three days ago, i'm sure there were no reefs Link to post Share on other sites
Marshy 30 Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 theres no reefs in. you would see the luff stacked up at the mast... Can see feet sleeping on the tramp? Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 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. Link to post Share on other sites
Changed 10 Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Yep they're pulling in Camper quite quickly now 30 miles in the last four and a half hours. Link to post Share on other sites
