Second one is the Boeier 'Maartje', built as 'Annie' in 1892 by Eeltje Holtrop van der Zee in Joure.

Thanks Schakel and Angelique for that input!

Recently there were again problems with the hydraulic system on the America's cup cats.
This time it was Team bar. It happened in december during tacking, (the profile of the wing wasn't inverted) and the result was the inevitable loss of the wing.

The time before that was during the 8th race of AC34 with ETNZ.

Same case only they managed not to capsize..

Schakel,

The second picture in above post is too wide for most computer screens and is destroying the page layout of a lot of readers.

Best edit the post and make an attachment of that picture or only link to the picture's URL without embedding.

P.S.

Another option is to post a smaller version and link to the big one.

 

Just found that post in the Yrvind thread, see post #138 there.

 

I told you in post #6941, I thought you checked the links . .

 

Maybe we see the same bridge in the 1858 cartoon . . ? ?

 

Vauxhall Bridge ---> Old Vauxhall Bridge ---> Vauxhall Bridge 1816​

Link ---> Larger version​

 

Yes perhaps reduce it down to at least 1024 pixels wide.

BTW, when was that photo taken??

 

Here's the blog about it . . .

Emirates Team New Zealand nearly capsizes​

 

On any day sailing cat being that far towards capsizing, the main sheet would have been released.
I'm not surprised they almost dumped it.
Can't they release the main sheet?
That's just simple survival, on any boat.
