Another delay ?
Get on with people, boats can also do 15 knots in 4 knots of wind.

South Carolina | This is really impacting my work schedule for today. I'm sitting at home and just missed my scheduling meeting...doesn't look like I'll make my 9 o'clock either!

Another postponement due to winds dropping to 2-3 knots.
Boats are sailing quite nicely by the way, no problems there.
Can we please get beyond the procedures, rules and wind measurements just bloody start the race ?
If both boats are moving nicely in 3 knots of wind then why postpone ?

North-West Europe | Both boat lifting their luff (centre) hulls out of the water.
RC is now considered about a hole in the middle of the course.
I guess these sort of things happen on a 20 nm course.

As much as I respect BMWO (and their website) I must say Alinghy is the crowd pleaser at this time. Marvelous looking boat that Alinghy 5

Alinghy is quite fast through their tacks. Doesn't look like they are really disadvantaged there.

North-West Europe | Top of course : 5.5 knots 165 degrees
Middle of course : 4.5 knots 160 degrees
Bottom (start): 3.0 knots 165 degrees
LETS RACE !
What are we waiting for ? Perfect conditions ?
I can't overstress how powered up Alinhy looks; ikt just flies its luff hull in 3 kntos and makes good speed.
