Re: Sydney To Hobart 2015-2016

Exactly, good for cruising. Not for racing, IMO.



You see this is where you lose me. The designers/Bob of WO11 decided to have pretty much all systems powered. To enable this they NEEDED a...

Re: Sydney To Hobart 2015-2016

We'll have to disagree on that point.



Again, we'll have to disagree on that.



They made the decision to have all the powered systems that required having the engine running. Which is the...

Re: Sydney To Hobart 2015-2016

I think you've misunderstood RD, I don't believe Polux, or most people for that matter, realised that WO11 needs her engine running all the time. Polux doesn't understand the hydraulic systems on...

Re: Sydney To Hobart 2015-2016

I think the mods done to WO11 lessen Commanche's advantages when the wind moves aft of the beam and gets stronger and still retain their uphill and lighter wind advantages. In fact I wouldn't be...

Re: Sydney To Hobart 2015-2016

Re: Sydney To Hobart 2015-2016

Re: Sydney To Hobart 2015-2016
