I must be VERY lucky.
So we arrive at the conclusion that ocean racing is a largely pointless pursuit? Its either chequebook racing or a lottery and OD will not work....
You are really being very overly general there.
Right... so let me get this straight. Its a bad idea unless you use Farr 40's with better rules? So one one design is better than another?...
Out of that whole post you see fit to pick on a throw away line and call it a straw man argument? Oh dear god are we not precious! Yeah you do...
Sun Fish are a *****... :p
That is not always the case, if the bolt measures to spec after use it can be reused in many cases. I have done so on many occasions. They are...
What is a loose race? Nothing really, I have designed implemented and tried to refine a club handicapping system. All I can say is that at the...
1. Yes, Rolex should have let it slip, very silly to give it credence. 2. The article is probably 30 years late... and a bit pointless, the...

It still ends up being cheque book racing....
It is actually very difficult to hole or smash, the stuff is surprisingly resilient. I can't see why it would be difficult to repair. There is a...
She is the best sorted Ranger that there ever was! I guess it proves that to some degree the limitation for the older designs was as much building...
I think they where some what lucky with conditions. Comanche was devastatingly fast out of the Harbour, it would probably be no contest in the...
Resin sticks to the scrim which is bonded to the core, the 'end grain' is where you have issue sticking stuff to it.
Anywhere, I was looking at making a hard deck in the stuff (Polycore) and I needed 1.5 sheets each side. Apparently you just butted it up, laid...
