They might be close now but by the time the wind is due to peak (45-60kts early Sat am) it's due to have backed thru to SE making it an offshore breeze.

The wooden Stuarts are mostly three skins of 6mm and I would think extremely strong. The 1960 vintage ones show no signs of delamination. (I'm pleased to say)

depending on where exactly pelagian is at the mo.... they might currently be sailing downwind in sunny 15kn.....not so this evening i think though....

That's interesting Fossil - I was thinking maybe they were only 2 skins 8mm.

 

Any comment on relative strength to a grp boat ?

 

Of course it all depends on the framing/stringer sizes and with GRP the layup/framing

any one ploted pelagian in there yet?...

looks like the beneteau is a bit stronger than most would give it credit.....or is it the cam factor....getting it slowed down and holding it together??..

Hope it follows the northerly track - if it went south the damaging quadrants would be right over them. The bugger is they move a bit randomly

Yeah KM and they are probably on the right style boat for that - hope it is a tough one. Revs might be a bit exciting methinks...

StephenC - where did you get those radio reports from? I'm afraid I can't read what is posted in the Forum!!

 

 

I get them emailed from the event organisers, but they do put it up on the SSANZ website. Just click under the latest news and they should be up twice a day.

Agree on the HTFU comment - clearly never been in the ocean with something like that coming at them.

 

I have enough trouble getting a close relative to one of the boats out there to go upwind in 15 kn and flat seas - hate to think what they have been experiencing and will need to do for a while yet. Sometimes a couch is a good place.
