Close call for the Kiwis… crane failure caused the boat to be dropped on its cradle. Damage not known yet, possible crack in the hull but the rig...
ease of access isn’t an excuse to keep the ER door open. It takes seconds to turn the wheel and latch the door after you come in or out....
As a MY if we dip the ER vents in the water, we d be done anyway :). We d have to be at 90 degree… on MYs dampers will shut down when the the...
Watching race 2 right now… in race 1 they weee doing 35+kts in 7kts wind. Crazy.
There are still two things that don’t make much sense 1)- leaving the ER door open at anchor. Why would anyone do that? Two reasons not to: in...
Most modern phones will survive a salt bath, we ve retrieved guests phones down to about 15’ and they worked fine. I wonder what they hope to...
If anything a dragging anchor will keep the boat pointed into the wind. There is no way for an anchor to pull the bow down! Except maybe on a...
Went to buy a replacement timer module for one of our 7 headhunter royal flush heads today and it turns out that they don’t carry the original...
That is why they should be automatic. Properly installed and adjusted, a pneumatic piston will allow a sliding door to move manually.
He doesn’t mention any automatic system. At 5 minutes into the blah blah blah… can this guy stretch a video or what? :) he mentions that they will...
Very interesting details. I was wondering about the keel design as there had been conflicting information out there. So it turns out it is not a...

Because if you did that, or added a time penalty, it would allow the penalized boat to remain close and possibly force the other boat into an...

Looks like she s off the bottom. Sorry, a FB post is all I could find. https://www.facebook.com/share/r/6RZwVfkrNs1YdyCY/
Nothing is more beautiful than the Js… technology is also changing the game for the race committee as the marks are no longer anchored but use...
I don’t see how the buoyancy of the bow area is going to allow it to get submerged… something will yield first, starting with anchor being yanked...
actually our 2000hp MTUs burn 22 gph combined at 1100rpm.
wishful thinking. 420 gallons and a 390nm range at 20kts would mean about about 20gph combined. No way that’s possible on a 48 footer.
